An acclaimed bestseller and international sensation, Patrick Suskind's classic novel provokes a terrifying examination of what happens when one man's indulgence in his greatest passion—his sense of smell—leads to murder.In the slums of eighteenth-century France, the infant Jean-Baptiste Grenouille is born with one sublime gift—an absolute sense of smell. As a boy, he lives to decipher the odors of Paris, and apprentices himself to a prominent perfumer who teaches him the ancient art of mixing precious oils and herbs. But Grenouille's genius is such that he is not satisfied to stop there, and he becomes obsessed with capturing the smells of objects such as brass doorknobs and fresh-cut wood. Then one day he catches a hint of a scent that will drive him on an ever-more-terrifying quest to create the "ultimate perfume"—the scent of a beautiful young virgin. Told with dazzling narrative brilliance, Perfume is a hauntingly powerful tale of murder and sensual depravity.

A rousing call to arms whose influence is still felt todayOriginally published on the eve of the 1848 European revolutions, The Communist Manifesto is a condensed and incisive account of the worldview Marx and Engels developed during their hectic intellectual and political collaboration. Formulating the principles of dialectical materialism, they believed that labor creates wealth, hence capitalism is exploitive and antithetical to freedom.This new edition includes an extensive introduction by Gareth Stedman Jones, Britain's leading expert on Marx and Marxism, providing a complete course for students of The Communist Manifesto, and demonstrating not only the historical importance of the text, but also its place in the world today.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool? What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common? Why do drug dealers still live with their moms? How much do parents really matter? What kind of impact did Roe v. Wade have on violent crime? Freakonomics will literally redefine the way we view the modern world.These may not sound like typical questions for an economist to ask. But Steven D. Levitt is not a typical economist. He is a much heralded scholar who studies the stuff and riddles of everyday life -- from cheating and crime to sports and child rearing -- and whose conclusions regularly turn the conventional wisdom on its head. He usually begins with a mountain of data and a simple, unasked question. Some of these questions concern life-and-death issues; others have an admittedly freakish quality. Thus the new field of study contained in this book: freakonomics.Through forceful storytelling and wry insight, Levitt and co-author Stephen J. Dubner show that economics is, at root, the study of incentives -- how people get what they want, or need, especially when other people want or need the same thing. In Freakonomics, they set out to explore the hidden side of ... well, everything. The inner workings of a crack gang. The truth about real-estate agents. The myths of campaign finance. The telltale marks of a cheating schoolteacher. The secrets of the Ku Klux Klan.What unites all these stories is a belief that the modern world, despite a surfeit of obfuscation, complication, and downright deceit, is not impenetrable, is not unknowable, and -- if the right questions are asked -- is even more intriguing than we think. All it takes is a new way of looking. Steven Levitt, through devilishly clever and clear-eyed thinking, shows how to see through all the clutter.Freakonomics establishes this unconventional premise: If morality represents how we would like the world to work, then economics represents how it actually does work. It is true that readers of this book will be armed with enough riddles and stories to last a thousand cocktail parties. But Freakonomics can provide more than that. It will literally redefine the way we view the modern world.(front flap)

Herman Hesse's classic novel has delighted, inspired, and influenced generations of readers, writers, and thinkers. In this story of a wealthy Indian Brahmin who casts off a life of privilege to seek spiritual fulfillment. Hesse synthesizes disparate philosophies--Eastern religions, Jungian archetypes, Western individualism--into a unique vision of life as expressed through one man's search for true meaning.

Don Quixote has become so entranced by reading chivalric romances that he determines to become a knight-errant himself. In the company of his faithful squire, Sancho Panza, his exploits blossom in all sorts of wonderful ways. While Quixote's fancy often leads him astray—he tilts at windmills, imagining them to be giants—Sancho acquires cunning and a certain sagacity. Sane madman and wise fool, they roam the world together, and together they have haunted readers' imaginations for nearly four hundred years.With its experimental form and literary playfulness, Don Quixote has been generally recognized as the first modern novel. The book has been enormously influential on a host of writers, from Fielding and Sterne to Flaubert, Dickens, Melville, and Faulkner, who reread it once a year, "just as some people read the Bible."

The United Nations got its start as the Second World War was ending; and the 50 signatories to the U.N. Charter that took effect in October of 1945 aspired to forge a new world order in which, it was hoped, future wars could be prevented. That goal still remains distant – at this time, according to Wikipedia, there are 60 separate armed conflicts, of varying scope and intensity, going on in different parts of the world today. But the U.N.’s mission of bringing nations together in peace still matters; and a review of the U.N.’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights provides useful insights into both how that mission began and how the organization has changed over the years.The United Nations began as an shared initiative on the part of the victorious Allied Powers of World War II, and the meetings that got the organization underway took place in Washington, D.C., and San Francisco (a look-to-the-future city that itself could have made a fine home for the United Nations). Therefore, it should be no surprise that some aspects of the language of the Universal Declaration have a decidedly Western, even American, sound to them. One hears Jeffersonian echoes in the Preamble’s assertion of the “equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family.” Similarly, Article 1 states that “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.” And just as Jefferson modified the language of John Locke, changing Locke’s “life, liberty, and property” to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” so the Universal Declaration modifies Jefferson’s language, stating in Article 3 that “Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of person.” That modification certainly seems understandable, considering how little security of person there had been in so much of the world during the long and terrible years of the Second World War. There are plenty of parts of the Universal Declaration that are aspirational in nature; they represent an ideal to be hoped for, and certainly not a reality that has been achieved. When one looks, for example, at Article 4 (“No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms”), one reflects on the number of nations around the world today where, as reported by the International Anti-Slavery Society, human slavery in various forms is still practiced, in all its horror and cruelty. Estimates of the number of people still held in varying forms of slavery in the world today range from 21 million to 46 million.Similarly, Article 5 against torture (“No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment”) is, in a number of U.N. signatory nations, more honored in the breach than in the observance, as one can see from the number of countries around the world where torture is practiced with terrifying regularity. Amnesty International reported chronicling torture in 150 countries around the world between 1997 and 2001. For comparison purposes, there are 195 internationally recognized countries in the world today.And Article 25, section 2 (“Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance”), is an article that one can reflect upon with sadness, if not bitterness, considering the situation of women and children in so many parts of the world. We remember how Malala Yousafzai of Pakistan was shot by the Taliban for advocating for education for women; her perfectly sensible declaration that an educated woman will be not only a more productive member of society, but also a mother better able to care for her children, was lost upon the religious fanatics who wanted her voice silenced. And the civil war-wracked West African nations where children were given rifles and pressed into service as child soldiers provide a particularly sad example of when children have been regarded, not as people with rights and dignity who embody and constitute the human future, but rather as resources to be exploited for the selfish purposes of the cruel and unscrupulous.In the post-World War II era, it must have seemed that the soaring language of the Universal Declaration would embody the beginnings of a new and better world, free of the irrational cruelties of the past. Yet Cold War tensions between the Soviet Union on the one hand, and the three permanent Western members of the Security Council (Great Britain, France, and the United States of America) on the other hand, quickly meant that, even in the early days of the U.N., some of the provisions of the Universal Declaration were rendered invalid.Citizens of divided post-war Germany, for example, might have read Article 13, part 2 (“Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country”) with a decided sense of irony. As Cold War divisions ended plans for a reunification of Germany, the American-, British-, and French-administered sections of the country united as Bundesrepublik Deutschland, the democratically governed Federal Republic of Germany; the Soviet-ruled sector of Germany meanwhile became Deutsche Demokratische Republik, the singularly undemocratic “German Democratic Republic.” By 1961, the East German authorities had militarized the Inner German Border and completed the Berlin Wall to prevent East German citizens from escaping to the West. Therefore, if you had told an East German between 1961 and 1989 that he or she had the right to leave the D.D.R., under Article 13, part 2 of the Universal Declaration, then that East German might well have responded by laughing in your face - as long as said East German was reasonably sure that there wasn’t a Stasi agent listening close by.The Soviet Union and other non-democratic states may have signed on to the Universal Declaration, but leaders like Soviet dictator Josef Stalin had no intention of abiding by its principles. Stalin, in accordance with the state-mandated atheism of the U.S.S.R., had opposed any inclusion of religious-freedom language in the Universal Declaration, but had relented at U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s insistence. Still, the Soviets, and those who thought like them, made the most of Article 29, section 2 (“In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society”).Into that one little article, Stalin and his ilk found, they could squeeze a great deal of state control of the individual, all the while blathering on about how wonderfully democratic they were being. Far-right dictators like those in Cold War-era Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Paraguay were just as swift as the Soviets to find excuses for oppressing their people in the name of “public order” and “morality.”And, looking to more recent history, the Kurds of today, as the numerically largest group of people on Earth without a nation of their own, might look askance at Article 15’s blithe declaration that “Everyone has the right to a nationality”; it is a matter of record that the Kurds routinely face discrimination in all of the countries where they are a cultural minority – a brutal reality most dramatically demonstrated by Turkey’s 2019 invasion of Kurdish areas of northern Syria.The U.N., heaven knows, is not a perfect organization. Its peace-keeping efforts, while well-intentioned, have sometimes been singularly ineffective. The organization has faced accusations of corruption and mismanagement of funds under various secretaries. And as former colonial possessions gained their independence down the years, and the membership of the U.N. General Assembly changed from one dominated by prosperous Western nations to one where smaller, poorer countries of the developing world predominated, the U.N. has sometimes gone in some unproductive and sometimes simply wrong directions.A particularly egregious example of a wrong turn by a United Nations body was the infamous U.N. General Assembly resolution in 1975 that equated Zionism with racism. Surely one can sympathize with the situation of the Palestinians in the Occupied Territories, and can work toward a political situation that will accommodate the rights, dignity, and identity of both the Israelis and the Palestinians, without stooping to language and ideas as grotesque as that.And yet this re-reading of the Universal Declaration reminds me that the United Nations does have value, great value, as a place where nations can gather and talk in a forum that has been accepted as valid by virtually all the nations of the world. In 1983, when Soviet interceptor aircraft shot down a South Korean civilian airliner that had accidentally strayed into Soviet airspace, and when the Soviet government tried to lie about what their pilots had done, it was at the U.N. that the American ambassador to the U.N. played the tape that showed the whole world that the Soviets were lying. More recently, when my wife and I traveled to Rwanda in the summer of 2016, the first thing we saw when we landed at the Kigali airport was a huge U.N. transport plane; and throughout our time in Rwanda, we saw how the U.N. is working, through a number of initiatives, to build lasting peace among the Rwandans whose nation was wracked by war and genocide in 1994.The United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights reminds us that the ideal of respect for the human rights of all, of a world where humankind can speak of war in the past tense, will always be an ideal worth striving toward.

This book is meant to help the reader learn how to program in C. It is the definitive reference guide, now in a second edition. Although the first edition was written in 1978, it continues to be a worldwide best-seller. This second edition brings the classic original up to date to include the ANSI standard.  From the Preface:  We have tried to retain the brevity of the first edition. C is not a big language, and it is not well served by a big book. We have improved the exposition of critical features, such as pointers, that are central to C programming. We have refined the original examples, and have added new examples in several chapters. For instance, the treatment of complicated declarations is augmented by programs that convert declarations into words and vice versa. As before, all examples have been tested directly from the text, which is in machine-readable form.   As we said in the first preface to the first edition, C "wears well as one's experience with it grows." With a decade more experience, we still feel that way. We hope that this book will help you to learn C and use it well.

On the day that Hurricane Katrina hits New Orleans, elderly Daisy Williams (nee Fuller) is on her deathbed in a New Orleans hospital. At her side is her adult daughter, Caroline. Daisy asks Caroline to read to her aloud the diary of Daisy's lifelong friend, Benjamin Button. Benjamin's diary recounts his entire extraordinary life, the primary unusual aspect of which was his aging backwards, being diagnosed with several aging diseases at birth and thus given little chance of survival, but who does survive and gets younger with time. Abandoned by his biological father, Thomas Button, after Benjamin's biological mother died in childbirth, Benjamin was raised by Queenie, a black woman and caregiver at a seniors home. Daisy's grandmother was a resident at that home, which is where she first met Benjamin. Although separated through the years, Daisy and Benjamin remain in contact throughout their lives, reconnecting in their forties when in age they finally match up. Some of the revelations in Benjamin's diary are difficult for Caroline to read, especially as it relates to the time past this reconnection between Benjamin and Daisy, when Daisy gets older and Benjamin grows younger into his childhood years.

After his death sometime in his 43rd year, suburbanite Lester Burnham tells of the last few weeks of his life, during which he had no idea of his imminent passing. He is a husband to real estate agent Carolyn Burnham and father to high school student Jane Burnham. Although Lester and Carolyn once loved each other, they now merely tolerate each other. Typical wallflower Jane also hates both her parents; the three suffer individually in silence in their home life. Jane tries to steer clear of both her parents. Carolyn, relatively new to the real estate business, wants to create the persona of success to further her career, aspiring to the professional life of Buddy Kane, the king of the real estate business in their neighborhood. Lester merely walks mindlessly through life, including at his job in advertising. His company is downsizing, and he, like all the other employees, has to justify his position to the newly hired efficiency expert to keep his job. Things change for Lester when he falls in love at first sight with Jane's more experienced classmate, Angela Hayes. Both Janie and Angela can see Lester's sexual infatuation with Angela, who courts such attention from any man as a sign that she is model material, she having once appeared in Seventeen and is a career to which she aspires. Lester's infatuation with Angela gives him a reenergized view on life, where he openly doesn't care anymore what anyone thinks about what he does, anyone except Angela. This infatuation coincides with the Fittses moving in next door: homophobic disciplinarian US Marine Colonel Frank Fitts who rules the house with a military fist (that fist being both figurative and literal), his semi-comatose wife Barbara Fitts, and their bright and quietly subversive 18-year-old son Ricky Fitts, who openly abides by his father's rules while behind the scenes lives by his own quite different perspective. Much like Lester's infatuation, Ricky immediately becomes infatuated with Jane; he considers girls like Angela as ordinary. The entry of Angela and the Fittses into the Burnhams' lives ultimately leads to each of the players confronting what is truly in his or her heart.

Britain is the one remaining civilized society on the planet, which has resulted in people wanting to migrate there, so it has become a police state to handle the immigrants, who are placed into refugee camps. Lowly government bureaucrat Theo Faron, once an activist, is approached by the Fishes, deemed a terrorist group, led by his ex-wife Julian Taylor, whom he hasn't seen in almost 20 years, since their marriage disintegrated after their infant son Dylan's death during the 2008 flu pandemic. Although the Fishes did use terrorist means in their on-going revolution against the state in the fight for immigrant rights, Julian vows that they now garner support solely by speaking to the people, and she wants Theo to use his connections to get transit papers for a young immigrant woman named Kee who needs to get to the coast. Although initially reluctant to do it because of the difficulty, Theo is able to grant Julian this favor, however with the change that he now needs to accompany Kee on her journey. As Theo and Kee progress on that journey, Theo learns more and more about what's going on, including the reason that Kee needs to get to the coast, the fact that no one in the group knows if their end destination even exists, and that his and Kee's lives are in greater danger than he believed when they started the journey. But Theo's sole mission becomes to help Kee at any cost for the survival of the species.

Set in the future, an anomaly from space appears in Earth's orbit and plants a stalk-like object into the ground. Humans attempt to determine what it is, why it's been placed there, and what's going to happen next, but it's taking too long to crack the code so they send a team into space to the source of the object to investigate further.

Elliot is a brilliant introverted young programmer who works as a cyber-security engineer by day and vigilante hacker by night. He also happens to be suffering from a strange condition similar to schizophrenia which he futilely tries to keep under control by regularly taking both legal and illegal drugs and visiting his therapist. When a strange feisty young woman named Darlene and a secretive middle-aged man calling himself Mr. Robot, who claims to be the mysterious leader of an underground hacking group known as F-Society, offer Elliot a chance to take his vigilantism to the next level and help them take down E-Corp, the corrupt multi-national financial company that Elliot works for and likes to call Evil Corp, Elliot finds himself at the crossroads. Mr. Robot, who has personal reasons for wanting to take down E-Corp, also reveals that he already has one ally, an even more mysterious, secretive and highly dangerous shadowy hacking group known only as Dark Army. Meanwhile, Elliot's childhood and only friend, Angela, who blames E-Corp for the death of their parents, tries to take down E-Corp legally by joining their ranks and trying to dig up evidence of their corruption from the inside. A wild card in this scheme becomes Tyrell Wellick, an unhinged psychopathic E-Corp yuppie, originally from Scandinavia, who has a very unusual relationship with his dominant and ambitious wife Joanna. After many twists and turns, Mr. Robot's plan is finally put in motion - with catastrophic (un)intended results. But that's just the end of the beginning of the real story.

Enterprise, representing the United Federation of Planets (including Earth) on a five-year mission in outer space to explore new worlds, seek new life and new civilizations, and to boldly go where no one has gone before. The Enterprise is commanded by handsome and brash Captain James Tiberius "Jim" Kirk (

In the year 2043, scavenger James Cole (Aaron Stanford) has been recruited by a team of "Project Splinter" scientists led by physicist Katarina Jones (Barbara Sukowa), to travel back in time to the year 2015, and stop the release of a deadly virus by the enigmatic organization known as the "Army of the 12 Monkeys". In Cole's original time-line, the virus caused a plague that resulted in the death of seven billion humans in the year 2017, and its on-going mutations will mean the eventual end of the human race. In the 2015 time-line, Cole will meet and enlist the help of brilliant virologist Dr. Cassandra "Cassie" Railly (Amanda Schull); the two are brought together because a recording mentioning Cole, that Cassie made after the viral outbreak, is uncovered by Jones in the future time-line, prompting her to select Cole for the mission. Cole will also encounter a seemingly unstable math genius named Jennifer Goines (Emily Hampshire), whose father Cole has been tasked to kill, Cassie's ex-boyfriend Aaron Marker (Noah Bean), and the dangerous high-ranking members of the Army of the 12 Monkeys, "Pallid Man" (Tom Noonan) and Olivia (Alisen Down). In the future time-line, Cole will also have to deal with his best friend José Ramse (Kirk Acevedo), and a man named Theodore Deacon (Todd Stashwick), who leads a brutal pack of scavengers from which Cole and Ramse fled. Meanwhile, Cole and Cassie will try to unveil the identity and whereabouts of the mysterious leader of the Army of the 12 Monkeys, who is only known as "The Witness", and is always one step ahead of them.
