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.

Supernatural teenage drama directed by Richard LaGravenese and
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.
After coming to the United States, Thomas Mann was appointed
Consultant in Germanic Languages and Literatures at the Library of
Congress, which has one of the largest German collections in the
world. Part of his responsibilities was to present an annual
lecture at the Library of Congress. This collection consists of the
lectures he held there, and deals with the following topics: The
Theme of the Joseph Novels; The War and the Future; Germany and the
Germans; Nietzsche's Philosophy in the Light of Contemporary
Events; and, Goethe and Democracy. In America, Thomas Mann was
looked on as an authority figure, and was even referred to as the «
Kaiser of the German emigres, and as a latter-day Goethe. As the
most influential and respected German in America, his lectures no
doubt contributed to the American image of Germany, as well as of
German culture in general, and are of great interest and
significance as they relate to the history of German-American
relations.
