The unmissable first novel from bestselling and award-winning author of THE FAULT IN OUR STARS and TURTLES ALL THE WAY DOWN.
“In the dark beside me, she smelled of sweat and sunshine and vanilla and on that thin-mooned night I could see little more than her silhouette, but even in the dark, I could see her eyes – fierce emeralds. And not just beautiful, but hot too.”
BEFORE. Miles Halter’s whole life has been one big non-event until he starts at anything-but-boring Culver Creek Boarding School and meets Alaska Young. Gorgeous, clever, funny, sexy, screwed up and utterly fascinating she pulls Miles into her world, launches him into a new life, and steals his heart. But when tragedy strikes, and Miles comes face-to-face with death he discovers the value of living and loving unconditionally.
AFTER: Nothing will ever be the same.
Poignant, funny, heartbreaking and compelling, this novel will stay with you forever.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
How did time begin? What conditions led to humans evolving on
Earth? Will we survive the Anthropocene? And is it really true that
we're all made from stars? Combining knowledge from chemistry,
biology, and physics, with insights from the social sciences and
humanities, A Brief History of the Last 13.8 Billion Years follows
the continuum of historical change in the cosmos - from the Big
Bang, through the evolution of life, to human history. In this
compelling and revealing book, David Baker traces the rise of
complexity in the cosmos, from the first atoms to the first life
and then to humans and the things we have made. He shows us how
simple clumps of hydrogen gas transformed into complex human
societies. This approach - Big History - allows us to see beyond
the chaos of human affairs to the overall trajectory. Finally,
Baker looks at the dramatic and sudden changes we're making to our
planet and its biosphere and how history hints at what might come
next.
Thomas Hardy's reputation as a poet is higher now than it has ever
been. It is generally agreed that the Poems of 1912-13, written in
memory of his first wife, are some of the greatest elegies in the
language. This invaluable new study concentrates on the 'Emma
Poems', setting them in the context of Hardy's troubled first
marriage, then analysing them one by one. John Greening - a poet
himself and author of the Greenwich Exchange Guides to Poets of the
First World War and W.B. Yeats - highlights the distinctive music
of this twenty-one poem 'suite', while exploring the sexual and
spiritual tensions concealed witihn Hardy's Dorsetshire and North
Cornish landscapes.
I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, then all at once.
Despite the tumour-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis.
But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten.
Insightful, bold, irreverent, and raw, The Fault in Our Stars brilliantly explores the funny, thrilling, and tragic business of being alive and in love.
