Thomas Mann and RJ Cyler star in this coming-of-age drama directed
by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon. Greg and Earl (Mann and Cyler) are high
school students who spend their time making their own versions of
classic movies. Greg makes it his high school purpose to not belong
to any one group, but to have a small role to play in each and
every clique. When Greg's mother (Connie Britton) tells him that a
girl from his class, Rachel (Olivia Cook), has been diagnosed with
leukemia, she convinces her son to pay her a friendly visit. As
Greg tries to get to know Rachel and provide her with a comforting
shoulder to cry on, the two end up forming a unique bond of
friendship and provide each other with much-needed love and
affection.
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.
With this dizzyingly rich novel of ideas, Thomas Mann rose to the
front ranks of the great modern novelists, winning the Nobel Prize
for Literature in 1929. The Magic Mountain takes place in an
exclusive tuberculosis sanatorium in the Swiss Alps-a community
devoted to sickness that serves as a fictional microcosm for Europe
in the days before the First World War. To this hermetic and
otherworldly realm comes Hans Castorp, an "ordinary young man" who
arrives for a short visit and ends up staying for seven years,
during which he succumbs both to the lure of eros and to the
intoxication of ideas.

adapted from the novel by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. A
mysterious young girl, Lena (Alice Englert), moves to a new school
in Gatlin, South Carolina, quickly grabbing the attention of local
boy Ethan (Alden Ehrenreich). When it is revealed that Lena is in
fact a Caster with magic powers and only has a short time before
she faces 'claiming' by either the light or dark side, the pair set
out to find a way to prevent her from going evil, as her mother
did. As they do, they unlock the secrets of their past and discover
they share a connection through history.
