Q: What do Tiger, Paris, Lindsay, Alec, and Oprah have in common with the enduring characters of Anton Chekhov? A: Love, loss, pride, yearning, heartbreak, renewal, transcendence: the very stuff of life. The immortal stories of Anton Chekhov have long entranced readers with their insights into the universal truths of human behavior... but you've never read them quite like this. Former friends Nicole and Paris exchange prickly pleasantries in Tall and Short. Talk-show host Dave narrowly averts another potential domestic crisis in A Transgression.

A new Kahlan and Richard adventure from internationally bestselling author, Terry Goodkind. At a dead run, breaking through into an open area of the forest with little ground cover among maple and birch trees, they abruptly ran up on a knot of half-naked people smeared with white ash, all hunched over, around something on the ground. They were Shun-tuk. In the weak, early dawn light the Shun-tuk looked like ghosts. All had eye sockets painted with a black, greasy substance. Wide grins of teeth drawn on their faces completed the look, making them resemble skulls. Most of their heads were shaved, but some had a knot of hair remaining at the top that was tied up with strings of beads and bones to keep it standing up straight so that it resembled a fountain of hair. Some of the men turned from their prey to look up in surprise as Richard bounded over a boulder and leaped in at them, suddenly screaming in rage, his sword held high in both fists. In that frozen instant, Kahlan saw that the startled faces were dripping with blood. The Shun-tuk had knives, but they remained in their sheaths. Instead, they used only their teeth. |
