Book Description
When Flowkwee goes to planet Earth on a mission, he has to stay disguised—as a small Earthling called Nigel, with only one head and four appendages! But that's not all: His personal mission is to go to a school every day to collect Earthlings to "improve." Nigel knows he has to act dumb around the Earthlings, so in math class he pretends he only knows his times table up until two million and six times nine, and in literacy class he pretends to read like a newborn Faathing baby. A lot of Earthling life is totally weird to Nigel—the odd removable skins Earthlings wear called "clothes" and the funny paint on his mom's face called "makeup"—but in some ways Earth is even better than planet Faa. Earth is full of cool sounds made up of all different pitches and noises called "music," and Earthlings get gifts every year on their birthdays, just for being alive! But while Nigel starts to embrace his Earthling self, in the background lurks a coming invasion that his dad keeps talking about. And why are they so interested in a substance called "spinach"? Letters from an Alien Schoolboy is sure to delight even the most reluctant readers as Earthling kids giggle their way through Nigel's gaffes and escapades. This is a fantastic gift for girls and boys eight and up!

Book Description
If a visitor from another planet began writing a human letters about life on earth, what would he say? How many letters would he write? What topics would he address? This book is a provocative answer to these questions. In a style that is engaging, enlightening, and entertaining, the alien writes about topics as diverse as one's view of God, falling in love, hardship, growing older, forgiveness, sex, one's attitude about work, and many others. Armed with the razor-sharp scalpel of truth, the alien strips away the false, and sometimes hidden, assumptions that cloud human existence, to reveal golden nuggets of insight that are often surprising. In The Alien Letters, clarity joins thought-provoking, mind-opening, and spiritstretching investigation as the alien explores and even challenges aspects of human life from the perspective of an outsider. At once deadly serious and pleasantly compassionate, the alien leaves us wiser and better able to discern what is truly important in life.

Book Description
"Will Flowkwee prove that four heads are better than one and save Earth? Will all the miserable whining Earthlings and the fluffy clouds and chocolate and cheerful worms and cardboard be destroyed? If you are the kind of lazy good for nothing duffer of an Earthling who just puts this book right back on the shelf then you'll never ever ever ever ever know."--Page 4 of cover.

Book Description
Abel is a voice for the dispossessed, for whom hope is a ship that went aground early, betrayed by an absent drunken whoring captain. In a sleeping world, he struggles, alone feeling, awake wondering if anyone else is awake. Even the lives of objects around him mirror the lives of humans; they decay, are abandoned, lost destroyed, or merely brutally forgotten. Anthony Russell White, Poet, San Francisco This is strong direct poetry, that doesn't hide its rich emotion behind self conscious art, but offers it straight from its own beauty. James Carse Ph.D., New York University They are highly evocative portraits of moments in time finely drawn I would recommend this book to anyone. Lucy Harrison, Award Winner Worlds Best On-line Fiction 1996 Sensitive Nostalgic. We have all lived in the beauty, love and tragedies of theses poems.

Book Description
Alien Hearts was the last book that Guy de Maupassant finished before his death at the early age of forty-three. It is the most original and psychologically penetrating of his several novels, and the one in which he attains a truly tragic perception of the wounded human heart. André Mariolle is a rich, handsome, gifted young man who cannot settle on what to do with himself. Madame de Burne, a glacially dazzling beauty, wants Mariolle to attend her exclusive salon for artists, composers, writers, and other intellectuals. At first Mariolle keeps his distance, but then he hits on the solution to all his problems: caring for nothing in particular, he will devote himself to being in love; Madame de Burne will be his everything. Soon lover and beloved are equally lost within a hall of mirrors of their common devising. Richard Howard’s new English translation of this complex and brooding novel—the first in more than a hundred years—reveals the final, unexpected flowering of a great French realist’s art.
