In 2006, when I arrived here, it was a different geo-political world - Blair was British Prime Minister (while Gordon waited in the wings like an ambitious understudy eager for the principal to break a leg) and across the Channel towering Chirac was President with 'Shorty' Sarko in his shadow. Not that it made much difference to me - I was too busy trying to make a living to give much of a damn about the global picture, like most people. After hanging on by my fingertips for the summer, it was with relief that I landed myself a part-time, nine month teaching job assisting in three primary schools in the autumn. I've never looked back. Part self-help, part-memoir, this is an accurate record of my time teaching Britain's biggest export - its language - to our French neighbours 2006-2016. It's also a tribute to the legendary Raymond Murphy, author of world-renowned versatile, practical and informative teaching books, some of which have kept me on constant work for over 10 years.

Wedding planner Veronica Vale is a romantic. LIke every other woman, she wants to be wooed. So when a sexy stranger shows up at one of her wedding appointments, Veronica finds it hard to focus on the task at hand. Until she learns he’s there to protect her. Fighting her desire for the former marine is harder than she expects, though, especially when he’s shirtless and mowing her lawn. Logan Black, bodyguard for the Seattle Wolf Pack, hates weddings and has no plan to walk the path to matrimonial misery. But when he’s hired to covertly protect a hot-to-trot wedding planner with a werewolf stalker, he’s forced to put his feelings aside.

Like previous collections based on congresses of the European Society of Translation Studies (EST), this volume presents the latest insights and findings in an ever-changing, ever-challenging domain. The twenty-six papers, carefully chosen from about 140 presented at the 4th EST Congress, offer a bird's eye view of the most pressing concerns and most exciting vistas in Translation Studies today. The editors' final choices reflect a focus on quality of approach, originality of topic, and clarity of presentation, and aim at capturing the most salient developments in the contemporary theory, methodology and technology of TS. As always in EST, the themes covered relate to translation as well as interpreting. They include discussion of a broad range of text-types and skopoi, and a diversity of themes, such as translation universals, translation strategies, translation and ideology, perception of translated humor, translation tools, etc. Many of the papers force us to take a fresh look at seemingly well established paradigms and familiar notions, while also making recourse to work being done in other disciplines (Semiotics, Linguistics, Discourse Analysis, Contrastive Studies).

In this “admirable…wry, idiosyncratic, vulnerably bighearted” collection (The New York Times Book Review), the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls powerfully considers the unexpected turns of the creative life and reveals the inner workings of one of America’s most beloved authors. “I’ve written a lot about destiny in my fiction,” admits Richard Russo, “not because I understand it, but because I’d like to.” In the first of these eleven remarkable essays, Russo shares the story of his onetime fiction workshop classmate who, of the two of them, was considered the class star, bound for literary glory. Yet it was Russo who emerged as a major writer. How, he wonders, did he manage to steal his classmate’s destiny? What twists of talent and fate determine a would-be writer’s path? In each of the pieces collected here, Russo considers the unexpected turns of the creative life. From his grandfather’s years cutting gloves to his own teenage dreams of rock stardom; from his first college teaching jobs to his dazzling reads of Dickens and Twain; from the roots of his famous novels to his journey accompanying a dear friend—the writer Jennifer Finney Boylan—as she pursued gender reassignment surgery, The Destiny Thief powerfully reveals the inner workings of one of America’s most beloved authors. Look for Richard Russo's new book, Somebody's Fool, coming soon.
