Avand la baza serialul de televiziune de mare succes inspirat de seria de romane semnate de L.J. Smith, Jurnalele lui Stefan dezvaluie adevarul despre ceea ce s-a intamplat in realitate intre Stefan, Damon si Katherine... si cum a debutat triunghiul amoros din Jurnalele vampirilor. Goniti din Mystic Falls, oraselul lor natal, atat Stefan Salvatore, cat si fratele lui, Damon, ajung in Europa, cautand sa-si reia existenta de la inceput. Numai ca Samuel, un vampir bogat si viclean, are alte planuri in privinta lor.

Uniti impotriva dusmanului lor comun, Stefan si Damon raman surprinsi cand isi dau seama ca ura lui Samuel are legatura cu femeia care le-a schimbat vietile pentru totdeauna. Bantuiti de amintirea lui Katherine, cei doi frati constata ca fragila lor alianta este pusa la grea incercare. Vor reusi ei oare sa treaca peste rivalitatea lor, ca sa-l infranga pe Samuel, inainte ca acesta sa-si poata duce la indeplinire suprema razbunare?

Lupta mea, autobiografia literara monumentala, intima si spectaculoasa care a declansat o adevarata frenezie mediatica dupa publicarea sa in Norvegia, a devenit un fenomen international si s-a vandut in milioane de exemplare in intreaga lume, atinge acum punctul culminant. InLupta mea, Karl Ove Knausgard isi examineaza cu rigoare viata, ambitiile si slabiciunile, incertitudinile si indoielile, relatiile cu prietenii si fostele iubite, cu sotia si copiii, cu mama si tatal sau. Este un opus magnum in care viata este descrisa in toate nuantele sale, de la momentele de mare drama pana la cele mai banale detalii ale existentei de zi cu zi. In cea de-a sasea si ultima carte, Knausgard reflecteaza asupra esecurilor personale prezentate in volumele anterioare; desi se bucura de o apreciere literara in crestere, se confrunta si cu repercusiuni adesea distrugatoare. Este o carte despre literatura in sine si despre relatia ei cu realitatea, cheia de bolta a unei realizari magnifice. Proiectul Lupta mea al autorului se incheie cu volumul al saselea... Este greu sa nu fii impresionat de fluenta si eruditia sa, pe masura ce Knausgard isi croieste drum prin istorie, filosofie, literatura si artele vizuale. - Financial Times

Finalist for the Hugo Award • “Ofelia—tough, kind, wise and unwise, fond of food, tired of foolish people—is one of the most probable heroines science fiction has ever known.”—Ursula K. Le GuinFor forty years, Colony 3245.12 has been Ofelia’s home. On this planet far away in space and time from the world of her youth, she has lived and loved, weathered the death of her husband, raised her one surviving child, lovingly tended her garden, and grown placidly old. And it is here that she fully expects to finish out her days—until the shifting corporate fortunes of the Sims Bancorp Company dictates that Colony 3245.12 is to be disbanded, its residents shipped off, deep in cryo-sleep, to somewhere new and strange and not of their choosing. But while her fellow colonists grudgingly anticipate a difficult readjustment on some distant world, Ofelia savors the promise of a golden opportunity. Not starting over in the hurly-burly of a new community . . . but closing out her life in blissful solitude, in the place she has no intention of leaving. A population of one. With everything she needs to sustain her, and her independent spirit to buoy her, Ofelia actually does start life over–for the first time on her own terms: free of the demands, the judgments, and the petty tyrannies of others. But when a reconnaissance ship returns to her idyllic domain, and its crew is mysteriously slaughtered, Ofelia realizes she is not the sole inhabitant of her paradise after all. And, when the inevitable time of first contact finally arrives, she will find her life changed yet again—in ways she could never have imagined. . . .“Pure satisfaction from cover to cover.”—Anne McCaffrey

Serena Paris is orphaned, pack-less, and one of a kind. Coming forward as the first Human-Were hybrid was supposed to heal a centuries-long rift between species. Instead, it made her a target, prey to the ruthless political machinations between Weres, Vampyres, and Humans. With her enemies closing in on her, she has only one option left—if he’ll have her. As Alpha of the Northwest pack, Koen Alexander commands obedience. His authority is so absolute, only a fool would threaten his mate. It doesn’t matter if Serena doesn’t reciprocate his feelings, nothing will stop him from keeping her safe. But power-hungry Vampyres and Weres are not the only threats chasing Serena. Sooner or later, her past is bound to catch up with her—and Koen might be the only thing standing between her and total annihilation…
