The Goodness of Home
Author: Natalia Marandiuc
language: en
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Release Date: 2018
In this wide-ranging contribution to Christian theological anthropology, Natalia Marandiuc offers a constructive theological argument for the function of love attachments as sources of subjectivity and enablers of human freedom. Human loves and the love of God are portrayed here as co-creating the self and situating human subjectivity in a relational "home."
Marilyn's Secret Lipstick
The Past Never Stays Buried In a world where Hollywood glamour, international intrigue, and dangerous liaisons collide, a secret so explosive it could alter the course of history lies hidden. Through sheer chance, Italian criminal mastermind Giorgio "The Cat" Cattoretti learns of the existence of a priceless artifact--a lost lipstick, given by Frank Sinatra to Marilyn Monroe, engraved with a romantic inscription. With the potential to fetch up to $20 million at auction, Cattoretti becomes obsessed with finding it and turning it into an opportunity to increase his wealth and power. But as an internationally wanted criminal, he knows he can’t do it alone. He seeks the help of Secret Service agent Elaine Brogan, first with an attempt to bribe and then blackmail her, leveraging their checkered past against her. Elaine, resisting the scheme at every turn, is finally forced to succumb when her superiors decide it’s in the Secret Service’s best interest for her to cooperate. Now, she finds herself in an uneasy alliance with a devious man she both respects and fears, navigating a treacherous world filled with ruthless collectors, cunning con men, and a secret powerful enough to destroy everything she holds dear. Amid the glittering intensity of the 'auction of the century, as the world's elite gather to vie for the prized artifact, the stakes—and the danger—soar. Marilyn's Secret Lipstick is a pulse-pounding thriller that’s classic Mike Wells—unputdownable from start to finish. It weaves together the glamour of old Hollywood, the tension of international espionage, and the underlying pull of forbidden romance. A must-read for fans of gripping suspense and high-octane adventure, this novel—like other books in the internationally bestselling Lust, Money & Murder series—will keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you craving more.
The Life and Opinions of Maf The Dog, and of His Friend Marilyn Monroe
Meet Maf: The hilariously opinionated, well-read, politically scrappy, and complex canine companion to Marilyn Monroe. In November 1960, Frank Sinatra gave Marilyn Monroe a dog. His name was Mafia Honey, or Maf for short. Born in the household of Vanessa Bell, brought to the United States by Natalie Wood’s mother, and given as a Christmas present to Marilyn the winter after she separated from Arthur Miller, Maf was with Marilyn for the last two years of her life, first in New York and then in Los Angeles, and he had as much instinct for celebrity and psychoanalysis as he did for Liver Treat with a side order of National Biscuits. Marylin took him to meet President Kennedy and to Hollywood restaurants, to department stores, to interviews, and to Mexico for her divorce. Through Maf's eyes, we see an altogether original and wonderfully clever portrait of the woman behind the icon—and the dog behind the woman.
