When what must have happened becomes all too obvious for her to ignore she does not, however, turn on Janisch but rather on herself; by the end, Janisch has another death on his conscience (or would, if he had much of a conscience). Their devotion is clingy -- none more so than Gerti's -- and complete -- while Janisch often seems largely indifferent, his conquests more like a job, the possibility of property-acquisition not so much the ultimate but rather the only goal. The post gives the views of its author(s), not the position of LSE Business Review or the London School of Economics and Political Science. Sie wissen im Grunde nichts. Sie wissen nicht, daß Gabi auf dem Grunde des Sees ruht, was nicht sehr tief ist. Ja, die Gedanken sind manchmal tief, aber die Gründe, die einen zur Tat schreiten lassen, sinds oft nicht. Der Gendarm ist etwas wie ein Fremdenführer, nur daß er als einziger niemals einen Fremden führen würde, wenn nichts für ihn dabei herausspringt. It's enough to make Janisch want to be done with her -- and then, when opportunity easily arises, almost casually, he kills her and dumps the body in a local lake.
There is more subtlety to Greed than there might first seem, and a nice touch is how, when, after he has murdered Gabi, Janisch begins sweating it, a bit (not least because he knows Gerti an cause him problems). The man can't bear to hear anymore, he's already had to hear so much, for him the whole thing is a process without any adornment.But recently the women, as already said, seem to suspect something, not what this man intends, they would never guess that, but whatever it is, inconsistent as their sex is according to legend, they for their part no longer want anything at all from the country policeman. Thank you to Grey's Promotions for sending me an ebook Advanced Readers Copy of GREED for me to read and review. Since I read the previous series by Ms. Charles named The Devil's Due, which kept me on the edge, and this one was supposedly more intense, you can imagine how much it got me excited to start Greed, the first book in A Sinful Empire Trilogy. It's just the beginning of the story that follows Daniela and Antonio. Do not start this story in the evening - TRUST ME, or be ready to stay up all night! My opinion is, it would have been better if God had put in some overtime and created something better.” I am. Here’s a little piece of advice for you, Princesa. Don’t poke monsters. Because we’ll devour you without a shred of mercy—and toss your bones into the gutter.”
Jandarmul Kurt Janisch se uită azi din nou la poza în care tatăl său, colonelul Janisch, fusese surprins cu treizeci de ani în urmă, în timp ce dădea onorul regelui. Iată, aici îl vedem încă pe tată, evident constrâns de propriul gest entuziast de a lua poziţia de drepţi să dea uşor înapoi. Cum se face totuşi că nimic nu-l poate reţine? Are ceva molatic, nehotărât în umeri, care pare să-l împingă apoi din nou înainte. Poate că nu era decât o plecăciune involuntară în faţa monarhului, un fel de supliment la onorul pe care-l repetase atât de des. Fiul – aşa cum stă acum în faţa dulapului, echipat ca pentru jogging, în treningul cu dungi şerpuitoare, încercând să-şi stăpânească trupul şi încălzindu-l treptat înainte de alergare – nu mai are nimic servil în el. Cu umerii căzuţi, dar cu mâinile mereu gata să se apuce de treabă, tatăl şi-a făcut datoria peste tot, pe şoselele prăfuite şi pe lângă maşinile distruse în accidente. Poate că fiul e mai complex şi ştie să dea şi ordine. Înfăţişarea lui îmi stârneşte curiozitatea: are un chip cam colţuros pe care gândurile, ce la alţi oameni se umflă în pene cu mare plăcere, par să se furişeze doar, timide. Hm. Voinţa nu i-ar lipsi, de fapt, dar oare la ce are de gând s-o folosească? Barca a încetinit viteza, semaforul e pornit şi arată mereu verde, iar diferenţa subtilă în raport cu ceilalţi oameni se face tot mai mare. Daniela it seems is drawn to the darkness and time will tell if she will be able to survive it, or it will swallow her whole. Antonio is that darkness, he sees Daniela as a challenge for him and his to protect he was drawn to the beautiful soul this woman has but, if he is not careful the one thing craves might just be snuffed out by the anger and darkness this man carries within him, he should be embracing the light this woman brings it might be the only thing that saves his soul. Greed by Eva Charles was explosive and sinful with extremes of emotion and passion. It just consumed me whole. A must read for every dark romance lover. She is slavishly, desperately devoted to him even as he can barely bring himself to give her the time of day; even with his eyes on the prize, he struggles to give her any bit of attention (much less the amount she longs for).She notes: "The country policeman is partial to the darkness of night" ("Der Gendarm hat eine Vorliebe für Nachtdunkelheit"), and he remains a shadowy figure throughout. This story had me on edge and the seat of my pants the entire holy cow I am still reeling from it and my heart's pounding. This was one, hot and dark, intense read. This is quite a challenging book to read and it's the author's style that I feel would put most readers off finishing it - it almost made me abandon it. It's told in the third person, but it's unclear exactly who the narrator is, or if it is the same narrator throughout the book. Everything is clouded in mystery and many sentences are quite cryptic, we get the narrator's views on a variety of subjects, some relevant to the novel, whilst some are not. At times the narrative style reminded me of Louis-Ferdinand Céline, in that the narrator struggles to tell the story coherently as they get distracted by other thoughts, then circle around several times only slowly revealing the main narrative that we, the reader, is eager to hear. Céline does it brilliantly, but I'm not sure about Jelinek. Antonio and Manuel have signed a contract in blood to acquire Quinta Rosa do Vale, D'Sousa's valuable vineyards, and to marry his only daughter, Daniela D'Sousa.
Practic ai aceeasi senzatie cand duci gunoiul pe palier si la intoarcere dai nas in nas cu vecina ta, Monica Tatoiu. Ea incepe sa iti turuie tot felul de lucruri, desi tu esti in papuci de casa si neglijeu, pe sala e curent, pe usa ei iese deja fum de la mancarea arsa, iar ea tot nu se opreste. Something about her vulnerability stirred a desire I can’t shake. A desire to mark her. To spray my seed all over her supple virgin skin.”

Nur als Beispiel: In folgender Szene geht es darum, dass Polizisten wegen der verschwundenen Gabi eine Hausbefragung im Dorf durchführen. Stattdessen hangelt sich Jelinek hier von einem Gedanken zum anderen über das Thema Gott hindurch. Im Folgenden eine lange Passage. Wer mag, kann gerne weiterspringen (S. 413f): Mai multe nu pot sa va spun despre roman deoarece m-am luptat cu el si cu toate ca m-a amuzat pe alocuri nu a reusit sa ma capteze in totalitate, fiind mai mereu cu mintea in alta parte. :) There are few authors better equipped to write Mean Girl, this new thesis on Rand, than Lisa Duggan. With Duggan a self-proclaimed ‘ pinko commie queer’, prospective readers may assume that Mean Girl will be a scathing critique from cover to cover. However, the ‘weird obsession’ Duggan has garnered for Rand over a ten-year period (91) has resulted in a book that gives readers a deep, insightful and nuanced look at the life, philosophies and worlds that Rand inhabited and created. I’ll give you an example of the writing style, if you sign up to read this. This passage is when the policeman brings the underage girl into the home of the older woman:
Duggan’s book helps readers to be alert to Rand’s true intentions – to instil egoism in her readers, and to promote a cold, harsh, unregulated capitalism in the name of individual freedom and technological and social progression. In a similar vein, ‘soft’ neoliberals have captured the hearts and minds of many (Western) societies and their political spheres due to their invisible cruel intents. For example, in true Mean Girls fashion, we end up trying to follow in the footsteps of the cruellest of humankind, just like the ‘beta’ women in Mean Girls follow Regina George. Rand’s work has lulled admirers into believing that we are means to ends in ourselves, and that the individual should be held above all else. It includes new eligibility criteria for the Shingrix® vaccine for those who are turning 65 and 70 after 1 September 2023. Individuals who are severely immunocompromised aged 50 years and over also become eligible. Daniela is far from a pampered princess, she has a heart of gold and is passionate and shows kindness to some those some would think are beneath her. She is willing to give her life to protect those she calls her family. She was a beautiful soul and feisty to boot. Daniela faults hum, she is drawn to a dark and dangerous man who holds her captive. In a world where ambition threatens to tear them apart, Dominic and Alessandra must confront their own desires and make choices that will define the course of their lives. Will their love prove strong enough to weather the storm of greed, or will it be lost forever in the pursuit of more? She's strong, defiant and very much capable of taking care of herself and those she treasures. But she can't protect her heart from Antonio's larger than life personality that looms large over her existence.In Gier sind die Frauen nur noch sperrangelweit geöffnete Einfallstore zur Durchdringung von Raum. Ihre ureigene Funktion als Objekte männlicher Lust haben sie nahezu völlig eingebüßt; es ist jetzt viel schlimmer. Jelinek liefert die Frauen gnadenlos dem Okkupator aus (.....) Die eigentliche Heldin der Gier ist aber die Sprache. Jelinek -- genauer das erzählende Ich, das allwissend ist und nur kokett so tut, als sei ihm so manches gar nicht bekannt -- zerrt an der Sprache wie an einer Schleppe, deren Gewicht ihr Ich, das sprechen muß, ständig zu erwürgen droht. Diese Schleppe ist von grundsätzlich unendlicher Ausdehnung in Zeit und Raum, jedenfalls im deutsch-österreichischen." - Rose-Maria Gropp, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung Los enunciados de la "novela amena" parecen escupidos de una máquina de acuñar frases hechas. Jelinek no pretende narrar, ordena sus juegos verbales alrededor de un argumento trivial, dejándose llevar por el valor asociativo de las palabras. No obstante, entre retruécano y alfilerazo cuaja una especie de cuento de hadas al revés. (...) Comentarios jocosos como éste, no sólo eximen a la autora de cualquier responsabilidad con sus enunciados, sino que privan al lector de todo margen de pensamiento propio. Tarde o temprano, la lectura asistida, inevitablemente, deriva en aburrimiento." - Cecilia Dreymüller, El País Die Handlung des Buches war klischeebeladen, zog sich ewig hin und schien mir nur als Rahmen für den Wortwitz zu dienen, aber auch für allerlei sarkastische Bemerkungen über Österreich und Politik. Teilweise handelten die Personen völlig unlogisch. Warum ließ sich der Besitz liebende und Frauen verachtende Protagonist mit einem besitzlosen jungen Mädchen ein? Was sollte der halbe Kriminalfall in dem Buch? Ich fürchte, ich habe es nicht verstanden. Es gab reichlich detaillert und vulgär geschilderte Sexszenen, denen eine furchbares Frauenbild zugrunde lag. Hier bemerkte ich den Sarkasmus hinter der klischeehaften Beziehung, aber es machte die ganze Handlung noch absurder. Janisch is a Gendarm (as opposed to policeman -- Polizist), as Austrian law enforcement outside most larger urban areas was handled by the Gendarmerie (until 2005, when it was absorbed by the police); Chalmers translates Gendarm as 'country policeman'.] Janisch's interest in these women mostly isn't primarily sexual; what he's really after is their real estate holdings.
