One boy, one boat, one tiger . . .

After the tragic sinking of a cargo ship, a solitary lifeboat remains bobbing on the wild, blue Pacific.

The only survivors from the wreck are a sixteen year-old boy named Pi, a hyena, a zebra (with a broken leg), a female orang-utan - and a 450-pound Royal Bengal tiger. The scene is set for one of the most extraordinary and best-loved works of fiction in recent years.

Описание: From the back cover of On the Origin of Hockey:

The debate about the origin of hockey appears to be as old as the debate about the origin of species, though if we compare the number of pages dedicated in every day's newspapers to hockey and those dedicated to animals and plants, the relative importance of each quickly becomes obvious (well, to hockey fans at least).

Hockey historians have been looking for the smallest piece of evidence that would reveal the secrets of the origin of hockey. However a wealth of evidence is available - as soon as one starts looking in the right place. This book does not present a new theory based on slivers of evidence. It is a presentation of known facts about the origins of hockey, based on tens of thousands of words, from hundreds of sources, written about hockey played on the ice, with skates, before Montreal's first recorded game.

Carl Gid n is a medical doctor who has been researching the origins of hockey for more than two decades. He made news in 2008, together with Patrick Houda, when they announced their discovery of a reference to ice hockey played in 1839 on Chippawa Creek (Niagara Falls, Ontario).

Sports journalist Patrick Houda has also been researching the origins of hockey for over two decades and teamed up with Gid n on several projects since the mid-1990s. It was the two of them who, from Sweden, wrote biographies for the main Canadian pioneers of hockey, including the eighteen players who participated in the first recorded game played in Montreal, in 1875.

As a member (past president) of the Society for International Hockey Research, Montreal-region-based Jean-Patrice Martel was most impressed by the findings of Gid n and Houda, and always pleaded that they should publish them. The trio finally teamed up to produce this book, with the hopes of reinvigorating the debate on hockey's origins and setting it on sound foundations.

Описание: The author of the bestselling "Life of Pi" returns to the storytelling power and luminous wisdom of his master novel.
In Lisbon in 1904, a young man named Tomas discovers an old journal. It hints at the existence of an extraordinary artifact that if he can find it would redefine history. Traveling in one of Europe s earliest automobiles, he sets out in search of this strange treasure.
Thirty-five years later, a Portuguese pathologist devoted to the murder mysteries of Agatha Christie finds himself at the center of a mystery of his own and drawn into the consequences of Tomas s quest.
Fifty years on, a Canadian senator takes refuge in his ancestral village in northern Portugal, grieving the loss of his beloved wife. But he arrives with an unusual companion: a chimpanzee. And there the century-old quest will come to an unexpected conclusion.
"The High Mountains of Portugal" part quest, part ghost story, part contemporary fable offers a haunting exploration of great love and great loss. Filled with tenderness, humor, and endless surprise, it takes the reader on a road trip through Portugal in the last century and through the human soul."

Описание: Life and death are two sides of the same coin.
The past is a tricky thing. Sometimes it's etched on our minds. Other times it blurs our memories. If you stand too long on the dark side of a grave, who knows which ancestors you will awaken.
The Wooden Trunk: Book One of the Linked Trilogy introduces Ruby McEwen, an intuitive eighty-eight-year-old human gateway to the past, and Jazz Durant, a turbulent eighteen-year-old with a grim future. Unpredictably, the two women, born decades apart, embark upon a historical, intertwining journey that has them navigating across four countries and through three centuries occupied by wounded minds and searching souls.
The Wooden Trunk is more than a saga about time travel. It is an ambitious novel that reunites lost generations, casts a light upon the unknown and rediscovers the forgotten. With each step she takes, alongside Ruby and their witty, stubborn and wise ancestors, Jazz learns about humanity, courage, integrity, survival and life.
A life linked to theirs and one not so unlike her own.

Описание: Jimmy Yu reveals that in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, self-inflicted violence was an essential and sanctioned part of Chinese culture. He examines a wide range of practices, including blood writing, filial body-slicing, chastity mutilations and suicides, ritual exposure, and self-immolation, arguing that each practice was public, scripted, and a signal of certain cultural expectations.

Описание: Esta obra ha sido creado con la magia de la emoci n volcada en palabras, frases, p rrafos, diagramas, ejemplos vivos, escrito con un lenguaje simple y ameno, con el fin de que cualquier lector entienda lo que est leyendo y no s lo eso, sino que adem s se interese y por qu no, se encante con la magia de la emoci n. Lo que busco en este trabajo no es otra cosa que generar el primer paso necesario para liberarse de los moldes mal aprendidos que nos paralizan y nos condenan, la aceptaci n de lo que estamos haciendo mal, o m s bien que no nos favorece. Esta obra contiene ejemplos clarificadores, en los cuales muchas personas ver n reflejada su forma de actuar y que les permitir abrir su mente a la posibilidad de modificar sus acciones. El segundo gran objetivo, es dar a conocer ciertas pautas u orientaciones en este hermoso proceso de darse cuenta que el mal manejo de nuestras emociones nos est llenando de problemas. Las pautas est n orientadas a demostrar por qu nos estamos equivocando y luego pautas de c mo modificar conductas, en base al manejo adecuado de nuestras emociones. No se trata de evitar las emociones, de ninguna manera, sino m s bien de manejarlas adecuadamente, esto es, para un resultado personal conveniente. Es dif cil quedar indiferente a la infelicidad que hoy existe en nuestra sociedad, y m s a n c mo las personas creen que su desdicha responde a factores netamente externos. Ah est el aporte de esta obra. En que el lector pueda detenerse, pensar, reflexionar y darse cuenta que es " l" quien tiene el "poder" de generar un cambio en su vida y en la de sus cercanos. Una vez que se comienza esto no se detiene, pues enriquece profundamente en lo personal e ntimo del ser, es M GICO.
