Pages : 466
Book Description
An addictive fantasy-romance set in modern-day Seoul. Eighteen-year-old Gu Miyoung has a secret--she's a gumiho, a nine-tailed fox who must devour the energy of men in order to survive. Because so few believe in the old tales anymore, and with so many evil men no one will miss, the modern city of Seoul is the perfect place to hide and hunt. But after feeding one full moon, Miyoung crosses paths with Jihoon, a human boy, being attacked by a goblin deep in the forest. Against her better judgment, she violates the rules of survival to rescue the boy, losing her fox bead--her gumiho soul--in the process. Jihoon knows Miyoung is more than just a beautiful girl--he saw her nine tails the night she saved his life. His grandmother used to tell him stories of the gumiho, of their power and the danger they pose to men. He's drawn to her anyway. When he finds her fox bead, he does not realize he holds her life in his hands. With murderous forces lurking in the background, Miyoung and Jihoon develop a tenuous friendship that blossoms into something more. But when a young shaman tries to reunite Miyoung with her bead, the consequences are disastrous and reignite a generations-old feud . . . forcing Miyoung to choose between her immortal life and Jihoon's.

We Are Not Ourselves
Author: Matthew Thomas
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 147675666X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 640
Book Description
Destined to be a classic, this "powerfully moving" (Chad Harbach, The Art of Fielding), multigenerational debut novel of an Irish-American family is nothing short of a "masterwork" (Joshua Ferris, Then We Came to the End). Born in 1941, Eileen Tumulty is raised by her Irish immigrant parents in Woodside, Queens, in an apartment where the mood swings between heartbreak and hilarity, depending on whether guests are over and how much alcohol has been consumed. When Eileen meets Ed Leary, a scientist whose bearing is nothing like those of the men she grew up with, she thinks she's found the perfect partner to deliver her to the cosmopolitan world she longs to inhabit. They marry, and Eileen quickly discovers Ed doesn't aspire to the same, ever bigger, stakes in the American Dream. Eileen encourages her husband to want more: a better job, better friends, a better house, but as years pass it becomes clear that his growing reluctance is part of a deeper psychological shift. An inescapable darkness enters their lives, and Eileen and Ed and their son Connell try desperately to hold together a semblance of the reality they have known, and to preserve, against long odds, an idea they have cherished of the future. Through the Learys, novelist Matthew Thomas charts the story of the American Century, particularly the promise of domestic bliss and economic prosperity that captured hearts and minds after WWII. The result is a riveting and affecting work of art; one that reminds us that life is more than a tally of victories and defeats, that we live to love and be loved, and that we should tell each other so before the moment slips away. Epic in scope, heroic in character, masterful in prose, We Are Not Ourselves heralds the arrival of a major new talent in contemporary fiction.

Fox Family
Author:
Publisher: Weatherhill, Incorporated
ISBN:
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
Throughout history the fox has fascinated man. Appearing in folklore everywhere, this lovable but undomesticated creature has long remained a mystery. The present volume does much to dispel this mystery. In 90 full-color dramatic photographs, a dedicated naturalist and skilled photographer presents a compelling study of a year of fox family life, tracing it from the conception of the cubs through their birth and maturity to their final separation from their parents as the young foxes strike off across the bleak winter landscape to begin families of their own. The story begins among the stark white ice floes on the shore of the Sea of Okhotsk, as male and female come together to start a family amid the icy winter winds blowing down from Siberia. In the spring the cubs are born, dark balls of fur completely dependent upon their parents for life and sustenance. Their seemingly bottomless stomachs mean that the mother and father must constantly forage for food, but there is obvious pride in the parents' eyes as they watch the cubs grow and play. By summer the cubs have the physical characteristics of grownups, but the pictures catching them dashing around the fields after insects and the shadows of birds show them to be the inexperienced adults that they are. This is the season when the parents teach their children to fend for themselves, taking them farther and farther afield on foraging trips that will prepare them for their lives on their own. Finally, the autumn, the saddest part of the year: as the cold winds once again howl and the leaves turn to russet and gold, it is time for the family to disperse. The young foxes seem hesitant to leave their parents, but the mother knows that they must: only then can the age-old cycle continue. In a world where the incursions of man and modernization are increasingly endangering wildlife everywhere, the author dramatically presents the Ezo fox of Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost main island and last frontier. The striking photographs and informative text, supplemented by a scientific essay, present a moving story of the fox family.--Adapted from dust jacket.
