Xejn mhu sejjer kif suppost fl-2020. Lanqas f’Malta. Id-dinja kienet donnha waqfet iddur fuq l-assi tagħha u ddeċidiet tagħmel fattiha.
Elizabeth għandha biss ħmistax-il sena, kif tista’ tibża’ mill-borra? Minflok, medhija tibbrawżja fuq il-Magna tikteb il-lyrics għad-diska l-ġdida tal-Jitterylemon, tfittex iktar dwar Fay Wray u King Kong, u tiċċettja ma’ Jamie fuq iċ-Chatterbox. U d-dinja ta’ Jamie ddur madwar l-isbejdbord xejn standard li dejjem jiġri fuqha, flimkien mal-isbejders l-oħra, ilesti ruħu għall-isfida kontra l-iskejters tas-Sulfarina li jirrenjaw fil-Glaskuppel ta’ Tal-Qroqq. Jekk tħares sew tinduna li hawnhekk, ukoll, xejn mhu sejjer kif suppost.

Middlemarch: A Study of Provincial Life is a novel by George Eliot, the pen name of Mary Anne Evans, later Marian Evans. It is her seventh novel, begun in 1869 and then put aside during the final illness of Thornton Lewes, the son of her companion George Henry Lewes. During the following year Eliot resumed work, fusing together several stories into a coherent whole, and during 1871–72 the novel appeared in serial form. The first one-volume edition was published in 1874, and attracted large sales. Subtitled "A Study of Provincial Life," the novel is set in the fictitious Midlands town of Middlemarch during the period 1830–32. It has multiple plots with a large cast of characters, and in addition to its distinct though interlocking narratives it pursues a number of underlying themes, including the status of women, the nature of marriage, idealism and self-interest, religion and hypocrisy, political reform, and education. The pace is leisurely, the tone is mildly didactic (with an authorial voice that occasionally bursts through the narrative), and the canvas is very broad. (Summary by Wikipedia)

This is a collection of 365 moral admonitions of Saint Francis of Assisi (1182-1226) and other notable Franciscans. The compiler of this anthology suggests that Francis "was inspired by God, six hundred years ago, to rekindle in His Church the spirit of humility, simplicity, poverty, detachment from the world, and ardent love of our crucified Redeemer." Indeed, these admonitions manifest a great concern for the cultivation of personal humility, meekness, chastity, and sorrow for sin. The admonitions you find here are directed primarily to Franciscan friars and cloistered nuns, as seen, for example, in the exhortations to friars and nuns to obey the religious superiors who oversee their friaries and convents. Yet, this lofty spiritual wisdom and rigorous discipline has been adapted in numerous ways over the centuries to meet the spiritual needs of secular clergy and laypersons, to guide them safely through this life to the next, to enable them to enjoy a deeper personal relationship with our Creator, and to cultivate in them a greater respect for His beloved creatures. Consequently, Franciscanism has found a home not only within the cloister but without its towering walls, and not only among Christians of all denominations but also among non-Christians and even non-believers. Its universal appeal is epitomized, perhaps, in that benevolent old Franciscan greeting "Pax et bonum!"—"Peace and all good be with you!"—which is still used in our time in a world broadly diverse in creed and culture.

Step into the world of William Shakespeares The Merchant of Venice, a compelling tale likely penned between 1596 and 1598 and included in the First Folio of 1623. At the heart of the story lies Bassanio, a down-on-his-luck gentleman, who enlists the help of his friend Antonio, a merchant, to secure a loan from the wealthy and vengeful Shylock. The stakes are high if Antonio fails to repay, he must forfeit a pound of flesh. This loan is intended to help Bassanio woo the beautiful heiress Portia. Meanwhile, a subplot unfolds as Shylocks daughter, Jessica, elopes with Lorenzo, a Christian friend of Bassanio. While the play explores themes of love and marriage akin to Shakespeares other comedies, it also delves into the darker tensions between Jews and Christians in Renaissance Venice, culminating in a gripping trial scene in Act 4. Join us for a rich audio experience narrated by Elizabeth Klett and a talented cast.

A charming mystery story set in the early 1900s which is as much about the townspeople, sleuths and other colorful characters as it is about the murder. Filled with comic antics of Scotland Yard fellows, local police, and residents of the town, keeps the murder ever elusive. The "whodunit" is maintained until the very end and the laughter keeps going even after the mystery is solved. (Summary by Sharon Kilmer)

"The Iliad is an epic poem in dactylic hexameters, traditionally attributed to Homer. Set in the Trojan War, the ten-year siege of Ilium, by a coalition of Greek States, it tells of the battles and events during the weeks of a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achilles. Although the story covers only a few weeks in the final year of the war, the Iliad mentions or alludes to many of the Greek legends about the siege" (Summary from Wikipedia)
