A gloomy New England mansion provides the setting for this classic exploration of ancestral guilt and its expiation through the love and goodwill of succeeding generations. Nathaniel Hawthorne drew inspiration for this story of an immorally obtained property from the role his forebears played in the 17th-century Salem witch trials. Built over an unquiet grave, the House of the Seven Gables carries a dying man's curse that blights the lives of its residents for over two centuries. Now Judge Jaffrey Pyncheon, an iron-hearted hypocrite and intellectual heir to the mansion's unscrupulous founder, is attempting to railroad a pair of his elderly relatives out of the house. Only two young people stand in his way a visiting country cousin and an enigmatic boarder skilled in mesmerism.

A note is left on a car windshield, an old dog dies, and Kent Nerburn finds himself back on the Lakota reservation where he traveled more than a decade before with a tribal elder named Dan. The touching, funny, and haunting journey that ensues goes deep into reservation boarding-school mysteries, the dark confines of sweat lodges, and isolated Native homesteads far back in the Dakota hills in search of ghosts that have haunted Dan since childhood.
In this fictionalized account of actual events, Nerburn brings the land of the northern High Plains alive and reveals the Native American way of teaching and learning with a depth that few outsiders have ever captured.

Аннотация
Несправедливо осужденный молодой парень Шон Галлахер попадает в лечебницу. Переступив её порог он навсегда прощается со своим разумом и мечтами. Теперь его голову окутывает туман абьюзивных пристрастий, подавленных воспоминаний, одиночество и зависимость. Книга интересна своей визуализацией миров, иллюстрациями и цикличным повествованием. Имеет 5 частей основных сюжетных арок, символизирующих головной мозг. Читатель начинает чтение с середины арки, с конца, а заканчивает её началом, или же начало истории на самом деле является её концом? Легкий дух Берроуза и Пинчона прослеживается в мотиве повествования, поэтому смело можно сказать что эта книга не для всех. Содержит нецензурную брань.
Аннотация
Что делать, если прекрасную принцессу похитил дракон? Разумеется, найти благородного рыцаря и отправить его за ней! Но что делать, если принцесса для многих далеко не прекрасна, рыцарь благороден только по происхождению, да и дракон – не совсем дракон? Чего ждать, если спасение девушки из лап чудовища становится политической игрой, где многие кукловоды и их куклы норовят ухватить свой кусок? Это уже не сюжет сказки или легенды – это то, что потом укажут в исторических хрониках как события, послужившие началом чего-то великого. Это не сказка и не реальность – это нечто дальше. Содержит нецензурную брань.
