When Jordan Hughes arrives at Pinecrest High School, Elliot Goldman’s graduating year suddenly gets a lot more interesting. Smart, good looking and charming, Jordan isn’t exactly the kind of person Elliot’s used to having as a lab partner. But when they start acing their assignments, life is suddenly about more than boring lectures, bad cafeteria nachos, or relentless bullying, and for the first time ever, Elliot can’t wait to get to chemistry class. As they start spending more time together outside of school, Elliot realizes he’s never met anyone quite like Jordan. And then everything changes one night when Jordan kisses him, making Elliot question everything about their relationship and about himself. The butterflies start to make sense—the trouble is, right now, nothing else does. Love was the last thing on Elliot’s mind. But as he begins to figure out how he really feels about Jordan, he realizes that sometimes the last thing you are looking for is the one thing you need the most.

Excerpt from Lights and Shadows of German Life, Vol. 2 of 2Albertine's Spirits sunk; She sat silent and thought ful beside her uncle, to whose mind these scenes of desolation recalled the painful circumstances attendant on his flight from Darmstein. Their road now lay along the woody bank 'of the Moldau. The bright sun which had cheered the commencement of their journey was overcast - heavy, rain pattered among the trees, and chill gusts of wind scattered the yellow leaves, which rose whirling into the air, and then fell into the dark and rapid stream below. After follow ing for some miles the windings of the river, the mas sive towers of the castle suddenly appeared before them on the summit of a high precipitous rock.The count was the first to perceive his once happy home. He silently pointed to it, while a deep sigh revealed that his thoughts were with the dead. Alber tine understood and sympathized with his feelings. Depressed, and struggling against a vague sense of fear, she entered her future abode, the dilapidated aso pect of which was ill calculated to dissipate gloomy impressions. Nothing presented itself to her View, as they passed through a long range of lofty and deserted apartments, but tattered moth-eaten tapestry, defaced gilding, broken mirrors, and mutilated chairs and tables. The Shattered casements were, in many places, boarded Up; several of the doors had been torn off for firewood, and the walls disfigured with the uncouth scrawls of an idle and mischievous soldiery.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Lights and Shadows of German Life, Vol. 1 of 2I was awakened by the ringing of the church bells; and a cold shudder came over me at the thought that one more revolution of the earth would bring with it my fortieth birth-day.In his nineteenth year, the youth is ambitious of the honours of the twentieth, because he feels himself sufficiently qualified for many things for which our law deems him unripe. At nine-and-twenty he re fleets, with some painful sensations, that the thirtieth must close the frivolous career of pleasure. But woe to him who, ten years later, sees the approach of forty sans place, sans h0pe, sans wife, sans every thing.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
