funny story emily henry

Daphne always loved the way her fiance Peter told their story. How they met (on a blustery day), fell in love (over an errant hat), and moved back to his lakeside hometown to begin their life together. He really was good at telling it...right up until the moment he realized he was actually in love with his childhood best friend Petra.Which is how Daphne begins her new story: Stranded in beautiful Waning Bay, Michigan, without friends or family but with a dream job as a children's librarian (that barely pays the bills), and proposing to be roommates with the only person who could possibly understand her predicament: Petra's ex, Miles Nowak.Scruffy and chaotic - with a penchant for taking solace in the sounds of heart break love ballads - Miles is exactly the opposite of practical, buttoned up Daphne, whose coworkers know so little about her they have a running bet that she's either FBI or in witness protection. The roommates mainly avoid one another, until one day, while drowning their sorrows, they form a tenuous friendship and a plan. If said plan also involves posting deliberately misleading photos of their summer adventures together, well, who could blame them?

Daphne always loved the way Peter told their story. That is until it became the prologue to his actual love story with his childhood bestie, Petra. Which is how Daphne ends up rooming with her total opposite and the only person who could possibly understand her predicament: Petra's ex, Miles.As expected, it’s not a match made in heaven – that is until one night, while tossing back tequilas, they form a plan. And if it involves posting deliberately misleading photos of their adventures together, well, who could blame them? But it’s all just for show, of course, because there’s no way Daphne would actually start her new chapter by falling in love with her ex-fiancé’s new fiancée’s ex . . . right?

Audiokniha: Jak daleko zajdete, abyste se pomstili svým ex?Daphne se seznámila s Peterem, když se bezhlavě hnala za svým kloboukem, unášeným větrem (dokud nenarazila do popelnice). Peter tu povedenou historku při každé příležitosti rád oprašoval a Daphne nepochybovala, že ji zahrne i do jejich svatebního slibu. Jenže ženichova rozlučka se svobodou se fatálně zvrtla: Peter se z ní vrátil s objevem, že miluje svou nejlepší kámošku Petru, s níž vyrůstal bok po boku. Daphne se musí odstěhovat ze snoubencova domu a začít nový život v pobřežním městečku, kam se přestěhovala, aby mohla být s ním. Pomoc přijde nečekaně od Milese, Petřina bývalého přítele, který má v bytě volný pokoj, a navíc pochopení pro její zlomené srdce. Daphne nachází útěchu ve vysněné práci knihovnice, ale kromě toho se ve Waning Bay cítí ztracená a bez přátel. A pak ona a Miles dostanou pozvánky na svatbu Petera a Petry. Zaskočená Daphne nejenže kývne, že se obřadu zúčastní, ale také Peterovi sdělí, že chodí s Milesem. Je to přece nejlepší způsob, jak tomu zrádci ukázat, že se posunula dál... kdyby to byla pravda.Vítězný titul Goodreads Choice Awards 2024 v kategorii Nejlepší romance od nejprodávanější autorky žebříčku bestsellerů New York Times!„Spolehlivá bestselleristka Emily Henry napsala další zaručený hit, který je dramatický, sexy a zábavný.“ – Kirkus Reviews „Další skvělá kniha Emily Henry s výraznými postavami, poutavým milostným příběhem, a navíc neodolatelným hrdinou Milesem.“ – The IndiependentDoufala jsem, že zůstanu vzhůru dost dlouho, abych opilému Peterovi po návratu domů do ruky vrazila sklenici vody a ibuprofen, ale místo toho jsem usnula na pohovce.Když jsem se na cvaknutí vstupních dveří s trhnutím probudila, obývací pokoj už zalévalo jasné světlo. Petera zjevně překvapilo, že mě tam vidí.Upřímně řečeno vypadal jako někdo, kdo narazil na ženskou, která se mu vloupala do domu a uvařila jeho králičího mazlíčka, ne na milující snoubenku stočenou do klubíčka na pohovce.

Spomeňte si na svoje šťastné miesto… Harriet a Wyn tvoria dokonalý pár od chvíle, keď sa stretli na vysokej škole – hodia sa k sebe ako soľ a korenie, med a čaj. Až na to, že teraz z dôvodov, o ktorých stále nehovoria, zrazu spolu nie sú. Pred piatimi mesiacmi sa rozišli... a stále to nepovedali svojim najlepším priateľom. A tak sa ocitli v spoločnej spálni v chate v Maine, ktorá bola posledné desaťročie každoročným miestom ich kamarátskych stretnutí. Bol to ich každoročný oddych od sveta, kde na jeden žiarivý, blažený týždeň zanechali svoje každodenné životy, dopriali si veľké množstvo syra, vína a morských plodov a nasávali slaný pobrežný vzduch s ľuďmi, ktorí im najviac rozumeli. Lenže tento rok Harriet a Wyn klamú a snažia sa ignorovať to, ako zúfalo po sebe stále túžia. Chata je na predaj a toto je posledný týždeň, ktorý majú všetci spolu stráviť na tomto mieste. Nechcú svojim priateľom zlomiť srdce, a tak hrajú svoje úlohy. Harriet bude cieľavedomá chirurgička, ktorá sa nikdy nezačne hádať, a Wyn bude uvoľnený šarmantný muž, ktorý nikdy nedá najavo slabosť. Je to bezchybný plán (ak sa naň pozeráte z veľkej diaľky a cez ružové okuliare). Predstierať po rokoch zamilovanosť jeden týždeň pred tými, ktorí vás poznajú najlepšie, predsa nebude problém. Alebo áno? Emily Henryová je najpredávanejšou autorkou bestsellerov podľa New York Times (Knihomoli, Ty, ja a naše výlety a Letná stávka). Študovala tvorivé písanie na Hope College a teraz trávi väčšinu času v Cincinnati v Ohiu v časti Kentucky, ktorá sa nachádza tesne pod ním.

Set in South London during the 1970s, Becoming Henry is a sharply observed, big-hearted and brilliantly funny coming-of-age novel. Henry has grand ideas and even grander ambitions. He longs to be recognised - by his family, his peers, and the world - as the comic genius he believes himself to be. Told with emotional precision and wry humour, the story traces Henry's life from his earliest memories in a conventional, emotionally constrained household to the brink of adulthood. Raised in a family where tenderness is elusive and communication often tips into absurdity, Henry finds early refuge in his imagination, music, and books. Adolescence brings contradictions: Henry's idealised sense of himself clashes with a desperate need for connection - particularly romantic or sexual. As he enters his teens, his desire to be desired, combined with a fear of not being enough, results in a phase of anorexia and self-effacement. He lurches from one misjudged crush to another, suffering social humiliations, but also forming deep bonds with other misfit boys who share his anarchic sense of humour. With wit, psychological insight and finesse, the novel explores themes of identity, aspiration, class, and masculinity. It captures the ache of wanting to belong while needing to be seen as different - the longing to be both accepted and exceptional - and the lengths one boy will go to in order to matter. Blending the depth of literary fiction with the accessibility of great storytelling, Becoming Henry is a poignant, funny, and unforgettable portrait of growing up on the fringes.

A cult modern classic, Tropic of Capricorn is as daring, frank and influential as Henry Miller first novel, Tropic of Cancer -- new to Penguin Modern Classics with a cover by Tracey EminA story of sexual and spiritual awakening, Tropic of Capricorn shocked readers when it was published in 1939. A mixture of fiction and autobiography, it is the story of Henry V. Miller who works for the Cosmodemonic telegraph company in New York in the 1920s and tries to write the most important work of literature that was ever published. Tropic of Capricorn paints a dazzling picture of the life of the writer and of New York City between the wars: the skyscrapers and the sewers, the lust and the dejection, the smells and the sounds of a city that is perpetually in motion, threatening to swallow everyone and everything.''Literature begins and ends with the meaning of what Miller has done'' Lawrence Durrell ''The only imaginative prose-writer of the slightest value who has appeared among the English-speaking races for some years past'' George Orwell ''The greatest American writer'' Bob Dylan Henry Miller (1891-1980) is one of the most important American writers of the 20th century. His best-known novels include Tropic of Cancer (1934), Tropic of Capricorn (1939), and the Rosy Crucifixion trilogy (Sexus, 1949, Plexus, 1953, and Nexus, 1959), all published in France and banned in the US and the UK until 1964. He is widely recognised as an irreverent, risk-taking writer who redefined the novel and made the link between the European avant-garde and the American Beat generation.

"Timely and significant." Church TimesA pioneer of humanitarianism and founder of the International Red Cross, Henry Dunant was many things over his lifetime. A devout Christian and social activist, an ambitious but failed businessman, a humanitarian genius, and a bankrupt recluse. In this biography, Corinne Chaponnière reveals the tumultuous trajectory of Henry’s life. From his idyllic childhood in Geneva, she follows Henry through the horrors of the Battle of Solferino, his creation of the Red Cross and role in the Geneva Conventions, the disgrace of his bankruptcy and his resurrection as a Nobel Peace Prize winner. It shows how this champion of wounded soldiers and prisoners of war was not an unblemished picture of piety and goodness, but that his empathy and good works played out in tandem with his social ambition and personal drive. It shows how even the best of us fall on hard times, and that the Red Cross was born out of humanitarian ideals coupled with a desire for personal success. This book reveals the story of Henry Dunant, blemishes and all, against the backdrop of the horrors of war, the weight of religion and the birth of humanitarianism in the 19th century.

The Birthplace is a short story by Henry James that was first released in 1903 in his anthology. The tale shows James's doubts regarding Shakespeare's authorship and is a sharp satire on the excesses of bardolatry. The story also depicts a characteristically imaginative Jamesian protagonist creating another reality in his presentation on Bard's purported childhood activities, which goes beyond the specific scholarly topic. Morris Gedge receives a favorable offer to take on the role of custodian of Stratford-on-Shakespeare Avon's residence. James twice used Shakespeare's name in his notebooks as he was drafting the novel, so even though his name is not mentioned in the story, to Whom "the highest Mecca of the English-speaking people" is dedicated is obvious. After being appointed the custodian, Morris starts to question the explanations he is made to provide to visitors. He begins to qualify and fumble through his speech. His wife is distressed by this, and the owners of the temple issue a warning. He gives a funny lecture about how Shakespeare the child played around the house in the story's concluding scene. Of course, tourist revenue grows and Gedge gets paid more.

The instant Sunday Times and Amazon charts bestseller"I found myself in the Auschwitz stables, and I felt an ember of hope. If I could make myself useful, helping these horses, maybe I could stay alive."In the darkest moment of history, one child found the courage and strength to survive the unimaginable. This is Henry''s true story.One hot, humid day in July, 1944, the Gestapo abducted fifteen-year-old Henry and his mother, forcing them onto cramped cattle cars in the Lódz Polish Ghetto. Like so many Jews before them, they had been selected to disappear - they were being sent to Auschwitz. Exhausted after hours of traveling, they finally emerged from the stifling, filth-ridden cattle car. Already devastated at having lost his father to starvation, Henry clutched his mother''s frail hand, knowing she was all he had left in the world, and that he was the only one left to protect her. In a flash, he felt them being brutally torn apart. Crying out for her, his heart shuddered as he watched her disappear into a sea of other women. Henry knew that was the last time he would ever see her, and he felt like he had failed her. He was now completely alone in the world.Starving, and close to giving up all hope, Henry volunteered to work in the stables, responsible for breeding horses for the war effort. As he watched other prisoners leave and never return, Henry quickly realised these horses were his only lifeline - because every morning he was sent to the stables, was one more morning he escaped the gas chambers. Before long, caring for the horses became a passion, and their comfort and strength gave Henry a glimmer of life and hope in an ocean of death. Although with every second that passed, Henry knew if he became too weak or made one mistake, he would be mercilessly replaced...This is the heart-wrenching and inspirational true account of a courageous little German boy who, against all odds, after losing almost everything a human being can lose, survived to tell his story.This book was originally published as The Kindness of the Hangman.''Heartbreaking.

But Emily Wilde is not good at people. She could never make small talk at a party—or even get invited to one. And she prefers the company of her books, her dog, Shadow, and the Fair Folk to other people.So when she arrives in the hardscrabble village of Hrafnsvik, Emily has no intention of befriending the gruff townsfolk. Nor does she care to spend time with another new arrival: her dashing and insufferably handsome academic rival Wendell Bambleby, who manages to charm the townsfolk, muddle Emily’s research, and utterly confound and frustrate her.But as Emily gets closer and closer to uncovering the secrets of the Hidden Ones—the most elusive of all faeries—lurking in the shadowy forest outside the town, she also finds herself on the trail of another mystery: Who is Wendell Bambleby, and what does he really want?

The instant Sunday Times bestsellerThe UK’s bestselling medieval historian brings unforgettably to life the astonishing rise of Henry V, who survived rebellion, a near-fatal arrow wound and a lengthy and precarious princely apprenticeship to become England’s greatest warrior king. 'A historian who writes as addictively as any page-turning novelist.' ObserverHenry V reigned over England for only nine years and four months, and died at the age of just 35, but he looms over the landscape of the late Middle Ages and beyond. The victor of Agincourt was a model king for his successors.Shakespeare’s version of Henry V saw his youthful folly redirected to sober statesmanship, and in the dark days of World War II, Henry’s victories in France were recounted in British propaganda. Churchill called Henry ‘a gleam of splendour in the dark, troubled story of medieval England’, while for one modern medievalist, Henry was, quite simply, ‘the greatest man who ever ruled England’. For Dan Jones, Henry is one of the most intriguing characters in all medieval history, but one of the hardest to pin down.He was a hardened, sometimes brutal, warrior, yet he was also creative and artistic, with a bookish temperament. He was a leader who made many mistakes, who misjudged his friends and family members, yet always seemed to triumph when it mattered. As king, he saved a shattered country from economic ruin, put down rebellions and secured England’s borders; in foreign diplomacy, he made England a serious player once more.Yet through his conquests in northern France, he sowed the seeds for three generations of calamity at home, in the form of the Wars of the Roses. Dan Jones’s life of Henry V provides unprecedented insight into the critical first 26 years of his life before he became king. Both a standalone biography and a completion of Dan’s sequence of English medieval histories that began with The Plantagenets and The Hollow Crown, Henry V is a thrilling and unmissable life of England’s greatest king from our best-selling medieval historian.
