Resumen

The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway's most famous novels. The old fisherman Santiago has caught nothing for eighty-four days. Then things change.  Ernest Miller Hemingway (July 21, 1899 – July 2, 1961) was an American novelist, short story writer, and journalist. His economical and understated style had a strong influence on 20th-century fiction, while his life of adventure and his public image influenced later generations. Hemingway produced most of his work between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. He published seven novels, six short story collections, and two non-fiction works. Additional works, including three novels, four short story collections, and three non-fiction works, were published posthumously. Many of his works are considered classics of American literature. Giancarlo Rossini Real ePublisher Ernest Hemingway, Writer Born: 21 July 1899 Birthplace: Oak Park, Illinois Died: 2 July 1961 (suicide) 
Best Known As: Famously manly author of For Whom the Bell Tolls 
Hemingway is one of the 20th century's most famous American writers. His books include The Sun Also Rises (1926), A Farewell to Arms (1929), and For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940). Hemingway's plainspoken no-frills writing style became so famous that it was (and is) frequently parodied. His dashing machismo was almost as famous as his writing: he lived in Paris, Cuba and Key West, fancied bullfighting and big game hunting, and served as a war correspondent in WWII and the Spanish Civil War. He sealed his own notoriety when he killed himself with a shotgun in 1961. 
Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954... Hemingway is sometimes called by his familiar nickname "Papa"... His birthdate is sometimes listed in error as 1898. According to a 1954 article in the New York Times, "In most reference books and in his own conversation he is one year older because he gave 1898 as his birth date when he tried to enlist [in the army] early in 1917, and stuck to that date ever since"... Hemingway's father also committed suicide, shooting himself with a Civil War pistol in 1928.

Everyone has some kind of goal they deem noble. But does everyone see it the same way? To achieve your goal, what are you willing to do? Sacrifice your life? Or the lives of others? Would you do anything to achieve it? Going as far as to start a war? For this Noble goal, how much are you willing to offer? _____ “Chosen ones? That’s a fancy title, but in the end. It’s just a title.” A long time ago, innovation and creation ruled the world. Technology was everywhere, robots and holograms were the norm. However, creatures seen as demons and angels invaded.

However, all hope was not lost when humans themselves started to manifest such said powers. Even if it's weaker, they have technology to help them. Right?

Wrong Timing

[MATURE CONTENT] - NO RAPE "You seem to be inclined to the challenge, incredible how you want things on the hardest way, when they come easy, you tend to reject it. It seems you don't like it. And in the end you always choose the wrong timing... But I believe in you." When Nina finally gets her promotion in a large Architecture firm, she doesn't imagine that this promotion and a lecture in another country could cause an upheaval in her life. The possibility of experiencing a new love, unlike anything she has ever experienced and the return of a ghost from the past, make Nina have to leave her comfort zone and face her fears, traumas and challenges to live this intense passion. ************************************************************** "Damn, did something happen? She said she wasn't feeling well and now she doesn't answer the fucking room phone or cell phone. - Okay, I'll need the room key. - I said. - Sir, unfortunately it won't be possible. It is against our privacy policy. - said the receptionist. - But what? I know her, Marina Maia, she was with me earlier today and said she was not feeling well. I haven't heard from her since we had lunch. I called and you called and she didn't answer. Aren't you worried? - Sir, have you considered the possibility of her leaving or simply not wanting to attend to you? - he had the audacity to say. - What the fuck? - I said. - Can I help with anything else? - he asked me. - No grazie, but I think this could help you. - I said, discreetly handing him a hundred euro bill. - A moment, signori. - he replied while calling someone. Damn it, I would still be kicked out of the hotel for a bribe. He whispered in the man's ear and came towards me. - What? - I asked. - Didn't you want to go to 1102? Come on, quickly. - he replied. I was so nervous that I only thought about what to say to Marina when the receptionist was opening the door, my heart cold. And there she was, in the deepest sleep. Snoring. We stood at the door without moving. - Looks like your Fiona is asleep. Or in a coma. - he said. - Shut the fuck up. - I answered." ************************************************************** I do not own the cover picture and is owned by the rightful owner.

Miss Loser is too enchanting

She was the genius daughter of an Ancient Martial Family, shining brightly, and known as one of the fearsome "Dark Twins". Due to her sister's betrayal, she and her partner both perished. She was Ajiu of Qifeng City, the so-called waste that everyone laughed at. Although she was a daughter of a cultivating family, she had no Phantom Power Source and couldn't cultivate Phantom Power. She was banished to a remote small town and eventually beaten to death by her cousin in a dilapidated courtyard. When the genius daughter, who gained the treasure of cultivation in the Endless Void, transmigrated into the body of the waste daughter, the gears of fate began to turn again. The waste would set foot on the path of cultivation! Contracting Divine Beasts, practicing Alchemy, refining artifacts, carrying on the legacy of ancient Divine Artifacts, seeking her kin, exterminating evil spirits, let's see how she stirs the heavens and earth! He was the most noble man between heaven and earth, of supreme status, with a bewitching appearance. Due to a game started out of boredom, he encountered her, and from then on, through heaven and earth, he would never leave her side! Snippet One: Dugu Qianye sat in the way she used to practice in her previous life, beginning to examine her current body. The blocked meridians, the weak energy channels, this body was truly terrible. As she continued downward, she arrived at the Dantian, "Eh? What is this?" What should have been an empty Dantian was floating with a... uh, an egg? "Why is it an egg? Could my body have turned into a hen? Does it have to be this fantastical!" "I am not an egg, you're the egg! Your whole family are eggs!" Just as Dugu Qianye was conflicted between the egg and the hen, a childish voice arose in her mind. "Eh? The egg can talk?" Dugu Qianye was astonished. "Damn it, I've already told you, I am not an egg!" the egg fumed. Snippet Two: Watching Dan Jingtian eating and exhaling from being burned at the same time, Dugu Qianye suddenly felt like teasing him. After thinking, she said, "I am a child from the mud pill family on Dot Street in Wuyou Town, next to Zixu City." Dan Jingtian rubbed the back of his head and said, "Zixu City, Wuyou Town, why haven't I heard of any of them? Also, what’s a mud pill?" "Stupid!" Mo Ziqing tapped Dan Jingtian's head, "Remove the city and town and read it again." "Zixu, Wuyou, Dot, Mud Pill, ugh, it's all nonsense to trick you! No way, brother, are you playing me?" Snippet Three: "Hey, that woman punched a hole in the sky." Ci Hun appeared in front of Zi Xiao and said wickedly. "Oh?" Zi Xiao looked up at him indifferently and said, "Just a hole in the sky. Go, find someone to fix that hole." "That woman also ripped a hole in that man’s pants, right on the butt." Ci Hun continued. "What?" The man, who had been casual just a moment ago, jumped to his feet, his bewitching face filled with rage, "A hole in the butt? Dare to show his butt in front of my woman, come, let's go chop his butt off!" Ci Hun was speechless, saying, "That was done by the woman." "Still, chop it off! Can't even protect his own butt, might as well chop it off." Snippet Four: Dugu Qianye looked at the person tied up like a rice dumpling in front of her, stroked her chin, and said, "I've decided, I'm going to rob. Hand over everything valuable you have on you!" "I don't have any money," Mang Qianjun said indignantly, looking at Dugu Qianye. "What? No money? Then what's the point of keeping you around! Xiaohuo, light a fire," Dugu Qianye said somberly. "Wait, wait, I haven't finished yet," Mang Qianjun shouted, "I don't have money, but I have the entire Endless Hell. You can rob it!"
