His books became bestsellers, were translated into many languages, including English, and the door was thrown wide open to Murakami's unique and addictive fictional universe. More followed, including A Wild Sheep Chase and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, but it was Norwegian Wood, published in 1987, which turned Murakami from a writer into a phenomenon. That first novel, Hear the Wind Sing, won a new writers' award and was published the following year. One April day, the impulse to write a novel came to him suddenly while watching a baseball game. In 1978, Haruki Murakami was 29 and running a jazz bar in downtown Tokyo. 6/6/2023 0 Comments 1434 by gavin menziesFlorence and Venice of the 15th century attracted traders from across the world. Gavin Menzies makes the startling argument that a sophisticated Chinese delegation visited Italy in 1434 sparked the Renaissance and forever changed the course of Western civilization.After that date the authority of Aristotle and Ptolemy was overturned and artistic conventions challenged as was Arabic astronomy and cartography. However a stunning reappraisal of history is about to be published. Until now scholars have considered that the Italian Renaissance - the basis of our modern Western world - came about as a result of a re-examining the ideas of classical Greece and Rome. But his research has led him to astonishing new discoveries that Chinese influence on Western culture didn't stop there. In his bestselling book 1421: The Year China Discovered the World Gavin Menzies presented controversial and compelling evidence that Chinese fleets beat Columbus Cook and Magellan to the New World. Now he presents further astonishing evidence that it was also Chinese advances in science art and technology that formed the basis of the European Renaissance and our modern world. In his bestselling book 1421:The Year China Discovered the World Gavin Menzies revealed that it was the Chinese that discovered America not Columbus. 6/6/2023 0 Comments Ashes by Erin Cofran“Walk with me and we will talk along the way,” he suggested, and he padded back into the dwellings. “So, I see,” she murmured and raised her eyes back to his. Her nose twitched as she scanned the guards. “Ah, Leera, I’ve been waiting for you,” he purred in greeting. But if a large group of cats like this attacked, she understood why her Clanmates had fallen. As soon as his welcoming call sounded, the three toms stood, and she was put off by their immense size for a moment. How had these cats defeated warriors who were disciplined and skilled? As she neared though, she had her answer. They acted as if nothing could touch them, as if they were the scariest things around. Three of his guards sat at the bottom of the fence, but they were not paying much attention to the surrounding area. He sat atop her fence as he gazed around her living space. She had just come back from a successful hunt and was about to lay down for a midday nap when she spotted him. She padded back to her clearing at sun high. He and his followers left her alone like he said, but as soon as he had need of her, his black pelt haunted her fence. 6/6/2023 0 Comments Magpie elizabeth day twistThe plantation shutters were plastic and layered with thin spores of dust. The flooring, which had clearly been bought in bulk by the developer, was a shade too light, the wood-laminate a touch too smooth to pass for real. Well, not perfect exactly, because houses never are, but at least the imperfections were liveable with. ‘A rich plot that also delves into meaty topics’ ‘Be prepared for a sleight-of-hand-twist that will leave you gasping’ ‘A compassionately crafted psychological drama’ ‘A pacy, stylish thriller in which suspense is accompanied by fist-pumping feminism and, perhaps toughest of all, hope.’ How far will she go to find the answer – and how much is she willing to lose?
