Abstract: The North Korean defector, human rights advocate, and bestselling author of In Order to Live sounds the alarm on the culture wars, identity politics, and authoritarian tendencies tearing America apart. After defecting from North Korea, Yeonmi Park found liberty and freedom in America. But she also found a chilling crackdown on self-expression and thought that reminded her of the brutal regime she risked her life to escape. When she spoke out about the mass political indoctrination she saw around her in the United States, Park faced censorship and even death threats. In While Time Remains, Park sounds the alarm for Americans by highlighting the dangerous hypocrisies, mob tactics, and authoritarian tendencies that speak in the name of wokeness and social justice. No one is spared in her eye-opening account, including the elites who claim to care for the poor and working classes but turn their backs on anyone who dares to think independently. Park arrived in America eight years ago with no preconceptions, no political aims, and no partisan agenda. With urgency and unique insight, the bestselling author and human rights activist reminds us of the fragility of freedom, and what we must do to preserve it

Abstract: Piddlebury è un sonnolento villaggio dei Cotswolds, miracolosamente scampato alle orde di turisti della domenica. Ma è anche ospitale: infatti ha accolto con calore Gloria French, che si è subito impegnata in attività di beneficenza e nell'assistenza agli anziani. Gloria però ha un difetto: chiede in prestito le cose più disparate, che poi immancabilmente non restituisce. Forse anche per questo, quando viene trovata morta, uccisa con del vino di sambuco al veleno, nessuno ne piange la dipartita. Il presidente del consiglio comunale incarica Agatha di indagare, ma lei si scontra con un muro di omertà.Titolo dell'originale dell'opera Something Borrowed, Someone DeadTraduzione di Marina MorpurgoCopyright 2013 by M.C.
