  • Terror In Atlanta: Fast English Learner Vol. 2

    Alfonso Borello

    eBook (Villaggio Publishing Ltd., Aug. 4, 2012)
    Read English with confidence, pick up vocabulary and learn new words you won't forget by reading vol. 2 of the Fast English Learner Terror in Atlanta.SynopsisMOMS WHERE NO longer carrying babies in their expensive strollers, they were hauling monsters. And the rest of the citizens were probably too sick and deteriorated to figure out the tragedy ahead. A state of emergency would have been ideal under such circumstances, but government officials were intoxicated by the mayhem and unable to find consensus for the next move―so, they did nothing. It was one of the most sophisticated operations of techno terrorism to date. Fundamentalism was dead; the trend was a new science of people decimation without weapons. Nebbia was the brainchild of a young British banker and part time physicist, who recruited a quorum of well-fed scientists to set up shop in the capital of the south and carry the annihilation.

  • Sorry But I Must Kill You: 5000 Words

    Alfonso Borello

    eBook (Villaggio Publishing Ltd., Nov. 15, 2012)
    Easy ReaderOlga, a law student living with her parents, meets Gail at a photo shoot of her younger sister Nadia, who's dreaming on becoming a super model. Gail is a make up artist; she lives with her boyfriend Guy, who works for an iron gate company. After a welding accident, Guy is rushed to the hospital; luckily he recovers, but he loses both eyes. Gail falls in love with Olga and she's no longer interested in Guy. During a trip to the mountains, Guy is brutally murdered. Nadia is lodging with friends in a cabin nearby and witnesses the murder. Gail becomes aware of the inconvenient witness and asks Olga to get rid of her sister.NOTESThis edition includes chapter by chapter critical commentaries to enhance your enjoyment from reading Sorry But I Must Kill You. At 5,000 words it's quite extensive, yet essential. It can also be purchased separately and it's available in all digital formats. These notes are not intended as a substitute for reading the literary work. They're just a guide. They can never be exhaustive, and your own interpretation of the story will be quite different. What follow are summaries, commentaries, and brief critical notes on characters; please use them as reference before, during, and after your reading. CRITICAL OVERVIEWIt's simple and banal to throw in a few characters here and there, and make them do something, say something, and hope to come up with an irresistible story. A story must have a meaning, because every single word has a meaning. People, ordinary or not, are not always motivated by ideals. For the most part, we all know what we want and what we don't. But we cannot always come up with answers for what lies beneath our actions. Pressure, social or not, makes us believe that there's always something better somewhere else. Distractions are often the prelude to destruction. Humans are often irrational, and no science can explain why. How can we prevent misunderstandings which could possibly lead to bad choices and even tragedy? This short story is not an essay on human understanding. The plot is simple. It depicts good and evil, lies, desires, sexual choices, friendship, spiritual beliefs, family values, and ultimately, in a drastic way, self-analysis. It ends with courage; what's done cannot be undone, and someone must pay the price.MAIN THEMES AND IDEAS1. The Title Sorry but I must kill you is straight and to the point. It's the story fundamental idea that sometimes the overwhelming pressure of misfortune can wreck your mind and turn you into a monster.2. Sense of Self Gail has changed. It's unclear why she's suddenly attracted to another woman, but it's paramount that she wants a life of her own. She's revolted by her saccharine love story and ready to try something different. She exerts herself, but not without complications. An accident ruins everything, and she feels trapped. A $22,000 engagement ring makes things even worse. She's crucified, and she must become someone else in order to commit the most brutal crime.SYMBOLS1. The LoftCalled Gurls Butik or gallery, is never referenced as studio. A great deal happens inside: the party where everything begins, Nadia's first gig as cover girl, Olga's seduction, the place where Nadia ends up hiding, and Peter's collapse. Al calls it a circus, because inhibited girls robotically come in and out acting like mannequins. Later in her sojourn, Nadia, inspired by the ambiance, walks around without wearing much, but Al tells her that she's not at the beach.2. The Black CradleAlthough an indispensable garment for women of all kinds and sizes, it's a no-no in the fashion industry. The photographer is horrified when he's pointing his camera at Nadia and notices the clashing bra.
