NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NATIONAL BOOK AWARD LONGLIST • “A masterpiece” (NPR) about marriage, divorce, and the bewildering dynamics of ambition Coming soon as an FX limited series on Hulu, starring Claire Danes, Jesse Eisenberg, Lizzy Caplan, and Adam Brody ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR—Entertainment Weekly, The New York Public Library ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR—The New York Times Book Review, Time, The Washington Post, USA Today Vanity Fair, Vogue, NPR, Chicago Tribune, GQ, Vox, Refinery29, Elle, The Guardian, Real Simple, Financial Times, Parade, Good Housekeeping, New Statesman, Marie Claire, Town & Country, Evening Standard, Thrillist, Booklist, Kirkus Reviews, BookPage, BookRiot, Shelf Awareness Toby Fleishman thought he knew what to expect when he and his wife of almost fifteen years separated: weekends and every other holiday with the kids, some residual bitterness, the occasional moment of tension in their co-parenting negotiations. He could not have predicted that one day, in the middle of his summer of sexual emancipation, Rachel would just drop their two children off at his place and simply not return. He had been working so hard to find equilibrium in his single life. The winds of his optimism, long dormant, had finally begun to pick up. Now this. As Toby tries to figure out where Rachel went, all while juggling his patients at the hospital, his never-ending parental duties, and his new app-assisted sexual popularity, his tidy narrative of the spurned husband with the too-ambitious wife is his sole consolation. But if Toby ever wants to truly understand what happened to Rachel and what happened to his marriage, he is going to have to consider that he might not have seen things all that clearly in the first place. A searing, utterly unvarnished debut, Fleishman Is in Trouble is an insightful, unsettling, often hilarious exploration of a culture trying to navigate the fault lines of an institution that has proven to be worthy of our great wariness and our great hope.

Book Description
Trouble has never looked so hot...Sue wants Ethan, and Chris wants Sue.Drawn to Ethan and intrigued by Chris, Susan Miller finds herself caught between identical twin brothers at her school. When both of them start wooing her at the same time, she only has to take her pick. Right? Wrong! Ethan is reluctant to kiss her, and Chris wants her for the completely wrong reasons.Nothing like his obliging and sweet brother, Chris Donovan has trouble written all over him. He changes girls like other guys change t-shirts, and the next trophy on his little list is Susan. That's the last thing she wants, yet she finds herself responding to all the goodnight texts and other cheeky messages Chris sends. The guy has a way of getting under her skin like no one ever has before.How long will it be until Susan falls for his smooth charm and gets herself into more trouble than she can possibly handle? And where does that leave Ethan?The Tease: I cleared my throat and called out, "Hey, Chris!"Folding his arms on the backrest of the chair he'd straddled by his friends, he cast me an intrigued and self-assured glance over his shoulder. I didn't give him the time to even think about the word "sweetness" leaving his mouth, but continued, "It takes a little more than a cute smile to get on my good side, and luckily your brother comes equipped with the whole package." I flashed a sardonic grin that hopefully stung his ego in front of his gang. "You want to freeze hell? Go ahead and try. It'll get you nowhere with me."For a stunned moment, Chris gazed at me. My snappiness had certainly terminated his interest in me. After all, he seemed to be someone after an easy lay and a jolly good time, nothing more. Especially not if that something proved to require serious effort. Right?Wrong. The left side of his mouth tilted up so slowly that a shudder made it through my entire body before he was done with the smirk. He blinked then ran his tongue along the inside of his bottom lip. The whole class had stilled and all eyes were on him and me now, gazes darting back and forth.With an audience to quote him later, he stated, "Game on, little Sue."

Book Description
Nach den Erkenntnissen der Autorin existierten in der griechischen Antike mindestens zwei verschiedene Zahlweisen der ersten und deshalb auch der folgenden Olympiaden. Durch die Argumente ihrer Arbeit erfahren so manche umstrittenen Daten eine neue chronologische Einordnung. Werden ihre Schlussfolgerungen akzeptiert, ist vieles aus der archaischen griechischen Geschichte neu zu schreiben. In jedem Fall legt hier die Autorin, Sch lerin von Professor P. J. Rhodes, eine ebenso detaillierte wie komplexe, sorgfaltige wie originelle und wissenschaftlich mutige Arbeit vor, die auf Jahre hinaus eine rege Forschungsdiskussion nach sich ziehen wird. Ce livre aaconstitue un instrument de travail precieux par le regroupement de references. (a) On dispose ici dun outil propre a alimenter bien des discussions de detail.o LAntiquite Classique
