DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn the world of books and literature, “hype” is associated with bestsellerism - the books that sell the most, are read by vast numbers, and constantly talked about in media and staff rooms. Often, it is the success in itself that generates an interest because popularity begets popularity. Quite often though, a hyped bestseller is met with a skeptic criticism of poor language, a badly constructed plot, a predictable story line, or all three. The bestseller phenomenon is sometimes conceived as a threat against “real” literature. Research into the creation, reception, and meaning of bestsellers is utterly scarce and Hype: Bestsellers and Literary Culture is an important contribution to the understanding of the literature read by the masses. Popular literature plays an important role in the lives of millions of readers, offering entertainment, social commentary, and alternate perspectives on everyday life. This volume brings together such diverse issues as the creation of hype, the role and the meaning of the author in the present-day media landscape, changes in the book trade, and the relationship between bestsellers and research into them. Further articles give an historical overview on postapocalyptic stories, desert romances and the role of the authors. This book offers new knowledge on a subject that is increasingly popular within university curricula. Although the anthology is a work of academic research the texts are of equal interest to general readers.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“I will not humiliate myself!” Princess Tessa al Bodari whispered to herself. Pregnant – and standing as a witness to her brother’s marriage vows! Yep, that would be hard enough. But the father of her unborn child was sitting in the audience. His gaze shimmered on the spot where her hand rested protectively over the tiny life that was throbbing in her stomach. The small life that was making her extremely nauseous! Sheik Asif el Asraf glared at the beautiful woman as understanding hit him. Tessa was pregnant! How was that possible? They’d spent only one night together! Granted, that night had been…frantic. Both of them had been starving for each other. So maybe…? There was no doubt that the child was his. Which mean that they had to marry. It was too late for love, he thought with determination. And besides, he didn’t indulge in fantasies of love-ever-after. However, he’d never indulged in one-night-stands…and yet, evidence of their one night together rested underneath Princess Tessa’s trembling fingers. Miracles happened.
