The 3 Little Dassies
by Jan BrettThe Three Little Pigs with a twist! In the tradition of her bestseller The Three Snow Bears, Jan Brett finds inspiration for her version of a familiar story in Namibia, where red rock mountains and vivid blue skies are home to appealing little dassies and hungry eagles. Mimbi, Pimbi and Timbi hope to find "a place cooler, a place less crowded, a place safe from eagles!" to build their new homes. The handsomely dressed Agama Man watches from the borders as the eagle flies down to flap and clap until he blows a house down. But in a deliciously funny twist, that pesky eagle gets a fine comeuppance! Bold African patterns and prints fill the stunning borders, but it is the dassies in their bright, colorful dresses and hats that steal the show in this irresistible tale, perfect for reading aloud.
3 Lives
by Gertrude SteinConsists of three character studies of women; "The Good Anna"--a kind but domineering German servingwoman; "Melanctha"--an uneducated but sensitive black girl; "The Gentle Lena"--a pathetically feebleminded young German maid.From the Paperback edition.
3 Mariak
by Arantxa Urretabizkaia BejaranoKalera irten, egunero irteten ginen, are alargundu osteko neguan eta udaberri euritsu hartan. Gorrik buru belarri sinesten du onuragarria dela kalera irtetea, nuragarri ibiltzea eta, era berea, jendea ikustea, gure etxean egunero bisitaren bat bagenuen ere. Hori bai, protesta egiten zuen euria zen bakoitzean. Gero esango dute adinarekin itzali egiten direla grinak, ahuldu. Normalean, jendeak zahartzaroari buruz hitz egiten duenean, berari gertatzen zaiona orokortzen du edo, bestela, jaiotza agiriak bizitza osoa gobernatu behar balu bezala jarduten du. Zaharregia zara bizitza berri bati ekiteko, esan zidan semeak eta gorrotoa gorde zalea ez banaiz ere, ez dut oraindik esaldia ahaztu. Esan dezaket, nire kasuan, gaztetan nituen grina eskasak itzali egin direla eta hori, niretzat, zahartzaroaren abantailetako bat da. Gorri, ordea, esango nuke, zenbat eta zaharrago, orduan eta grinatsuago dela edo hori esaten dit, behintzat, berez gezurtia den memoriak.

$3 Million Turnover
by Richard CurtisOfficially, I'm an agent. I represent professional athletes in basketball, football, tennis, golf--you name it. If money is paid for any athletic performance short of copulation, I take a commission on it. I say "officially." Unofficially, I have backed into another job: troubleshooting for the management of professional sports leagues--a kind of undercover operator. And it was this Richie Sadler case that got me into it. Aside from a hairline fracture of my cheekbone, temporary blindness, a scrotumful of somebody's knee, and the loss of the most promising marital prospect since my divorce, I did not get anything out of this case but the right to keep a staggering commission that really belonged to me. But now, when people in the sports world need someone to help unglue the fixes and wrestle with the drug problems, the gangsterism, and the sex scandals, they call on Dave Bolt.

by Chetan Bhagatચાલ ૨૦૦૦ના અંતમાં અમદાવાદના એક યુવાન છોકરા ગોવિંદે પોતાના બિઝનેસ વિષે સ્વપ્ન જોયું. તેના મિત્રો ઈશાન અને ઓમીની ઇચ્છાઓને સંતોષવા તેમણે એક ક્રિકેટના સાધનોની દુકાન ખોલી. જોકે, આ ઝંઝાવાતી શહેરમાં કશું સરળતાથી ચાલતું નથી. તેમનાં ધ્યેયોને પૂરા કરવા તેમણે ધાર્મિક રાજકારણ, કુદરતી આફત, અસ્વીકૃત પ્રેમ અને તે બઘાં ઉપરાંત તેમની પોતાની ભૂલોનો સામનો કરવો પડશે. તેઓ આ અવરોધો પાર કરી શકશે? વાસ્તવિક જીવન જે ભયાનક સ્વપ્નાઓ આપે છે તેને શું એક વ્યક્તિનું સ્વપ્ન ઓળંગી શકશે? થોડી ભૂલો છતાં તેઓ શું સફળતા મેળવી શકશે? આવા બનાવો ઉપર આધારિત, આ સદીના શ્રેષ્ઠ લેખકની રોમાંચક એવી આધુનિક ભારતની આ નવલકથા છે. ચેતન ભગત તેમાં એક સમગ્ર પેઢીની એકલતા અને વિચારોને પ્રગટ કરે છે.

Los 3 primeros casos del inspector Mascarell: Cuatro días de enero | Siete días de julio | Cinco días de octubre
by Jordi Sierra i FabraEmpieza a leer Los 3 primeros casos del inspector Mascarell:Cuatro días de eneroSiete días de julioCinco días de octubre Este pack incluye los siguientes tres ebooks: CUATRO DÍAS DE ENERO En pleno caos previo a la inminente entrada de los nacionales en Barcelona, el inspector Mascarell afrontará el caso de la misteriosa desaparición de una joven. Aunque todo está perdido, el inspector pretende llegar hasta el fondo del asunto, pero se topará con las altas esferas de la ciudad, que están preparando la llegada de los vencedores... Un intenso retrato de una Barcelona hambrienta, triste y aterrorizada, y una hermosa historia de amor en medio de la desolación. SIETE DÍAS DE JULIO 1947. Miquel Mascarell, el último policía de la Barcelona republicana, sale en libertad. De vuelta a casa, a una ciudad casi irreconocible en la que ya no tiene nada ni le queda nadie, recibe un misterioso sobre con una fotografía, dinero y una dirección que su instinto de policía no puede ignorar. A lo largo de una semana descubrirá los nuevos caminos que la dictadura está entretejiendo en Barcelona y en España: el estraperlo y sus grandes riquezas floreciendo entre los vencedores; el hambre y la miseria sepultando todavía a los vencidos. Con una fiel y detallada recreación del ambiente de la ciudad y la época, Siete días de julio nos habla de la condición humana llevada al límite, y también de su resistencia y su eterna esperanza. CINCO DÍAS DE OCTUBRE 1948. Miquel Mascarell ha rehecho su vida al lado de Patro, la joven a quien ya ha salvado dos veces. La visita de un hombre temible y su extraño encargo, buscar la tumba de su sobrino muerto el 18 de julio del 36, volverá a poner al viejo inspector en el disparadero, enfrentado a sus fantasmas, su supervivencia y moviéndose por una ciudad extraña que vive la posguerra en busca de un nuevo futuro. En esos mismos días, en Madrid, un consejo de guerra juzga al grupo de los 80, los maquis que siguen la lucha contra la dictadura. ¿Qué secreto esconde el cadáver de aquel joven cuya tumba busca Mascarell, en un cara y cruz con la vida y la muerte, doce años después y sin testigos vivos de aquel incidente? Ambientada con exactitud y precisión en la España de su tiempo, Cinco días de octubre es una novela que nos hace retroceder al pasado para comprender, quizá, nuestro presente y la forma en qué sobrevivimos.
3 Quarters: A Novel
by Denis HamillBeginning his search for the truth at a shady security firm that employs able-bodied ex-cops, all of whom have mysteriously qualified for medical pensions—equal to a cool three-quarters of their salaries—he stumbles upon a startling discovery: the cremated remains that led to his conviction didn't really belong to Dorothea. <P><P> Bobby has a few allies: his policeman brother, his hacker daughter, his flamboyantly unprincipled lawyer, a cop or two who stood by him through the trial. But the same forces that landed him in jail more than a year before are putting a smothering squeeze on him now—and all roads lead to a powerful politician who will let nothing get between himself and the governor's mansion. As the struggle to find the truth—and Dorothea—intensifies, Bobby begins to suspect that those around him are not as loyal as they appear. His liberty and very life depend on whether or not he can discover how high—and how near—the conspiracy goes before the trap closes on him. At once lyrical and riveting, Three Quarters crackles in its electric setting, reverberating with a "relentless energy" (Lawrence Block) fueled by Hamill's intimate knowledge of and intense passion for New York City.
