Call Me Naeto

Every rise masks a deadly fall. Especially his.

Being seventeen and about to graduate high school is likely one of the best years for most teens. Not Naeto. With desiring a life contrary to his father’s plans and simmering sexual tension threatening to ruin his friendship with his best friend Zino, his life’s a twisting mass of complications.

Getting a full-board scholarship into Charleston, a top-tier dance academy in Arizona, should have smoothed things out, but complications have a way of finding Naeto.

First he meets Eloise, Charleston’s star pupil trapped with the ghost from her past, and his awakened heart yearns for nothing more than to capture hers. Then he learns the girl he loves would do anything to hold on to her past including giving up her present with him and a face from his past comes calling with plans of his own.

Animal Farm

5,000.00

75th Anniversary Edition—Includes a New Introduction by Téa Obreht

George Orwell’s timeless and timely allegorical novel—a scathing satire on a downtrodden society’s blind march towards totalitarianism.

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned—a razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible.

When Animal Farm was first published, Stalinist Russia was seen as its target. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell’s masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh.
