The Magical Publishing Pen and Other Stories

By: M. Stefan Strozier

The Magical Publishing Pen is published by Mary Celeste Press. The collected stories of M. Stefan Strozier vary widely in theme and yet the protagonist is always a male of a certain age. As arranged here, the stories represent a chronological arc of a man's life from boyhood to adulthood. Stylistically, the stories show an arc too, as a story about a young man was written when the author was a young man, and a story about an older man was written when the author was older, for example. Magical Realism, framed stories, humor, satire, action, different points-of-view, and crisp dialog pervade the stories. This collection is a portrait of an artist as a young to mid-aged man.

Use of the SOLID principles with the IEC 61131-3

5 Principles for Object-Oriented Software Design in the PLC Programming

By: Stefan Henneken

SOLID principles are an essential part of object-oriented software development and have proven to be valuable tools for developing clean, maintainable and extensible code. In industrial automation engineering, especially in programming controllers with IEC 61131-3, it is of particular importance to develop robust and reliable systems. In this book, SOLID principles are presented in detail and explained with examples in IEC 61131-3. It also illustrates how the application of these principles improves the maintainability, extensibility, and reliability of software systems. In addition to the SOLID principles, the principles KISS, DRY, LoD and YAGNI are also presented. These do not belong to the group of SOLID principles, but they are a helpful addition.

The Ninth Grave

A Fabian Risk Novel

By: Stefan Ahnhem

An atmospheric and complicated saga of crimes that criss-cross the narrow strait between Sweden and Denmark...great cop characters...and some imaginatively grisly perps."— Sunday Times Would you kill for the one you love? That's the question that international bestseller Stefan Ahnhem's The Ninth Grave: A Fabian Risk Novel seeks to answer in this spine-tingling thriller set six months before the events in Victim Without a Face. On a cold winter evening, the Swedish minister of justice disappears without a trace from the short walk between the house of Parliament and his car. At the same time the wife of a famous Danish TV-star is found brutally murdered in her luxury home north of Copenhagen. Soon more bodies are discovered, all missing different body parts. As criminal investigator Fabian Risk and Danish counterpart Dunja Hougaard race to put the pieces together, they are dragged into a conspiracy worse than anyone could imagine.

Focus Particles in German

Syntax, Prosody, and Information Structure

By: Stefan Sudhoff

This study explores the grammar of focus particles in German. It gives a thorough description and analysis of focus particle constructions and links their syntactic, semantic, and information structural properties to their prosodic characteristics. The study also shows that focus particles present a particularly well-suited subject for the investigation of the modularity of grammar in general. The first part of the book deals with the syntax, semantics, and pragmatics of focus particle constructions and results in a modular account of the relation between their word order, information structure, and meaning. The second part presents a corpus study and several speech production and perception experiments investigating the prosodic realization of the constructions. The integration of these two lines of research results in a comprehensive theory of focus particles and of the interaction of grammar and information structure in German.

Trio in D Minor

Trio in D Minor

By: Helmut Stefan

Like the movements of a sonata in a minor key, the short stories in Trio in D minor cover a full range of emotions--from ecstatic joy to the depths of despair. Each tale leads its characters on a journey they did not expect to take--a journey from which there is no return. In "K.626," Professor Richard Holyfield is accepted to an arts in education program in Vienna, Austria, where he will study Mozart. There he meets the beautiful and intelligent Baroness Edith von Bruckner, who introduces him to the mysterious K.626 Society. Translator Frank Boucher learns a deadly lesson about love when he tracks down the author of the steamy pieces in "Harmless Little Stories." In the story "The Nightingale," Roberto and Ingrid Delgado seem to have the perfect marriage, but loneliness and busy schedules can sometimes drive even the most loving marriage apart. From Vienna to Chicago and New York to the Dominican Republic, love is the constant theme of Trio in D minor. For some, love is a carousel of delight, on which they wish to ride forever; but, for others, it is a nightmarish journey to eternal pain and suffering.

Grammatical theory: From transformational grammar to constraint-based approaches (Fifth revised edition)

By: Stefan Müller

This book introduces formal grammar theories that play a role in current linguistic theorizing (Phrase Structure Grammar, Transformational Grammar/Government & Binding, Generalized Phrase Structure Grammar, Lexical Functional Grammar, Categorial Grammar, Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar, Construction Grammar, Tree Adjoining Grammar). The key assumptions are explained and it is shown how the respective theory treats arguments and adjuncts, the active/passive alternation, local reorderings, verb placement, and fronting of constituents over long distances. The analyses are explained with German as the object language. The second part of the book compares these approaches with respect to their predictions regarding language acquisition and psycholinguistic plausibility. The nativism hypothesis, which assumes that humans posses genetically determined innate language-specific knowledge, is critically examined and alternative models of language acquisition are discussed. The second part then addresses controversial issues of current theory building such as the question of flat or binary branching structures being more appropriate, the question whether constructions should be treated on the phrasal or the lexical level, and the question whether abstract, non-visible entities should play a role in syntactic analyses. It is shown that the analyses suggested in the respective frameworks are often translatable into each other. The book closes with a chapter showing how properties common to all languages or to certain classes of languages can be captured.

Split

By: Stefan Petrucha

Wade Jackson has always felt split, his love for playing and writing music competing with his ambition to do well in school. But when his mother dies, this need for order competes with his desire to leave it all behind. What follows is a split in his consciousness that takes him to two very different worlds. Told in alternating chapters that together form one cohesive story, Split follows both Wades as they pursue what they think is the correct path. One Wade continues working hard in school, pulling all-nighters to write a computer code he believes will save the world. The other Wade pursues the dream of being a dive-bar singer, pulling all-nighters to party, gamble, and live on the edge. But when these two worlds begin to collide, each Wade will need to find a balance between control and abandon, order and chaos, life missed and life lost, in order to save himself.

Animus in Anima

By: Cosmin Stefan Georgescu

Animus in Anima is a metaphysical journey between mythology and sensory experience. The protagonist Ana-Maria, starting from retracing moments of her personal life, takes us along a path that is both personal and universal. The book unfolds in a series of chapters in each of which there is a different companion of adventure, who becomes the main character of a carnal and, at the same time, metaphysical experience which will end with a reflection on the meaning of human existence. In the book, love takes various forms, of which, however, the carnal one turns out to be in the end the true element that can lead to ecstasy and spiritual enrichment. Cosmin Stefan Georgescu is an author of Romanian origins fascinated from an early age by writing. Although his parents were both school teachers, he decided to take another path and become a doctor, graduating in 1997 from Carol Davila University of Medicine in Bucharest. In 1996 he passed USMLE exam (USA). In 2001 he returned to work in his hometown where, in his spare time, he took care of organizing cultural and charitable events. Since 2015, he has been living and working in France. He is a member of the Society of Physician Writers in Romania. He was awarded the Romanian “Sentimental Twilight” Prize in 2020 and the Critics’ Prize for his work Letters to God return to sender in 2021.

The Collected Novellas of Stefan Zweig

By: Stefan Zweig

A casual introduction, a challenge to a simple game of chess, a lovers' reunion, a meaningless infidelity: from such small seeds Zweig brings forth five startlingly tense tales--meditations on the fragility of love, the limits of obsession, the combustibility of secrets and betrayal. To read anything by Zweig is to risk addiction; in this collection the power of his writing--which, with its unabashed intensity and narrative drive, made him one of the bestselling and most acclaimed authors in the world--is clear and irresistible. Each of these stories is a bolt of experience, unforgettable and unique. Five of Stefan Zweig's most powerful novellas, containing some of his most famous and best-loved work: • Burning Secret • A Chess Story • Fear • Confusion • Journey into the Past (Stand alone paperback editions of individual novellas from Pushkin and New York Review of Books will remain in print.)

The Coming Spring

By: Stefan Żeromski

The Coming Spring (Przedwiosnie), Zeromski's last novel, tells the story of Cezary Baryka, a young Pole who finds himself in Baku, Azerbaijan, then a predominantly Armenian city, as the Russian Revolution breaks out. He becomes embroiled in the chaos caused by the revolution, and barely escapes with his life. Then, he and his father set off on a horrendous journey west to reach Poland. His father dies en route, but Cezary makes it to the newly independent Poland. Cezary sees the suffering of the poor, yet his experiences in the newly formed Soviet Union make him suspicious of socialist and communist solutions. He is an outsider among both the gentry and the working classes, and he cannot find where he belongs. Furthermore, he has unsuccessful and tragic love relations. The novel ends when, despite his profound misgivings, he takes up political action on behalf of the poor. Zeromski, whose vivid, assured style is instantly recognizable, was a writer with a strong social conscience, taking up the concerns of the poor and downtrodden.

THE YODELING FROG AND OTHER ATROCITIES

By: STEFAN DES LAURIERS

One of the themes I play around with is the idea of mountains fading in the distance, becoming transparent and flying. I have done this through the use of Canada Geese, which I have personally trained to fly in "V" formation. My goal is to encourage these majestic birds to spell my name across the sky. The most difficult letter of course is "S" because you have to get two flocks to fly in opposite directions on a near collision course.

Full-Moon above the Vosges

By: Cosmin Stefan Georgescu

Full-Moon above the Vosges gives us a dynamic perspective of human life, which unfolds through growth and change. Starting with adolescence, we move on to the events that most mark a man during his growth and maturation. Historical and classical anecdotes give us a perspective of the Earth and humanity through the eyes of the author. The world of personal characters from the author’s life is combined with that of classical and historical culture to which each of us can refer. The work is a perfect blend of personal and collective events that intertwine to narrate the author’s life and personal experiences. The reader is taken on a journey that begins with the writer’s childhood and passion for writing, moves on to his growth and medical career and culminates in his maturity, denoted by his reflections on man and his nature, while the common thread is the feeling of solitude that only the moon can give us. Cosmin Stefan Georgescu has been fascinated by words ever since his childhood, when he used to read and recite poems encouraged by his parents. Both of them being teachers, they were his first model during this early period of life. However, he later decided to become a doctor, graduating in 1997 from Carol Davila University of Medicine in Bucharest. During his career, he didn’t let down his passion, organizing cultural events and subscribing to the Society of Physician Writers in Romania. In 2015 he moved to France, where he has been living ever since. He published books in Romania, UK and France. He was awarded the Romanian “Sentimental Twilight” Prize in 2020 and the Critics’ Prize for his work Letters to God return to sender in 2021.

The Architects

By: Stefan Heym

A novel of political intrigue and personal betrayal, The Architects takes readers inside the German Democratic Republic in the late 1950s, shortly after Khruchchev's so-called secret speech denouncing Stalin brought about the release of many victims of Stalinist brutality. Among them is Daniel Wollin, a Communist who fled Hitler for Moscow and now returns to Germany after years of Soviet imprisonment. A brilliant architect, Daniel is taken in by his former colleague, Arnold Sundstrom, who was in exile in Moscow as well - but somehow fared better. Arnold's young wife, Julia, finds in Daniel the key that will unlock the dark secret of her husband's success and of her own parent's deaths in Russia. A story of suspense, romance, and drama, The Architects is also a window on a harrowing period of history that its author experienced firsthand. Although written in English, it was first published in German in 2000; this is the first publication in its original language." --Book Jacket.

What Happened to My American Dream?

The Quest of an Immigrant from the Communist Bloc for His American Dream

By: Stefan Adam

For millions of people seeking better lives, the ideal we call "The American Dream" continues to be the ultimate goal. At an early age, author Stefan Adam longed for freedom in America, far away from the crushing rule of communism in his native Romania. After years of struggle and sacrifice, Stefan realized his dream of coming to America and building that dream. This true story unfolds, through good times and bad, with insightful observation of American society and a never-ending desire to understand what makes it great...its people, culture and politics. The story begins on the shores of Romania's Black Sea where 12-year-old Stefan first dreams of finding freedom and a better life in America, far away from the dark clutches of communism. Years later, that dream blossoms, along with Stefan's love for his high school sweetheart and future wife, Michaela. Together they embark on a journey to make their American Dream come true, and after years of hard work that dream comes into a full blossom. Readers who come along for the ride will experience the wonder and awe of discovering America through their eyes. But as time goes by, the promise of that dream begins to fade. Could it be that corporate greed and political arrogance were eroding the foundation on which this great nation was built? Is this another Roman Empire...a great civilization doomed to fall under the weight of its own power, greed and corruption? Their struggles exemplify what it means to fight for freedoms that are so often taken for granted and never to give up hope because, in the end, it is not just the story of Stefan and Michaela's American Dream. It's everyone's American Dream to nurture and protect. What Happened To My American Dream? is a very personal story of hopes and dreams and what happens when those dreams are threatened. Told in a straightforward, conversational style, is a touching tale that anyone who has ever longed for a better life will easily relate to. It is written by an ordinary citizen who came to this country under extraordinary circumstances. What Happened To My American Dream? serves as a reminder that safeguarding the American Dream is the responsibility of everyone who has the privilege of calling this great country home.

Hamlet Badly Acted

By: Cosmin-Stefan Georgescu

An aphorism, a memorable phrase full of meaning. Often you don’t need many words to express a concept, you just need to find the right ones. Georgescu Cosmin-Stefan provides us with a series of useful aphorisms for every occasion, explaining life with the right words. Cosmin Stefan Georgescu was born in Romania, on the 28th of December 1971. From an early age he was fascinated by words. He liked listening to his parents reading him bedtime stories, he used to learn a lot of poems by heart and recite them proudly. His first models were his parents, both of them teachers. However, Cosmin did not follow in his parents’ footsteps. He decided to become a doctor. He graduated from “Carol Davilla” Medical University in Bucharest in 1997.

The Invisible Collection

Tales of Obsession and Desire

By: Stefan Zweig

This is the story of about the strangest thing that I've ever encountered, old art dealer that I am.' It is perhaps the finest art collection of its kind, acquired through a lifetime of sacrifice - but when a dealer comes to see it, he finds something quite unexpected, and is drawn into a peculiar deception of the collector himself... Stefan Zweig was a wildly popular writer of compelling short fiction: in this collection there are peaks of extraordinary emotion, stories of all that is human crushed by the movements of history, of letters that fill a young heart or drive a person towards death, of obsession and desire. They will stay with the reader for ever.

Oliver Loving

A Novel

By: Stefan Merrill Block

A dazzling novel about love, loss, and the mysteries of the mind." — David Ebershoff, Bestselling author of The Danish Girl and The 19th Wife "A breathtaking tale of tragedy and redemption... A triumph" — People A family in crisis, a town torn apart, and the boy who holds the secret has been cocooned in a coma for ten years. One warm, West Texas November night, a shy boy named Oliver Loving joins his classmates at Bliss County Day School’s annual dance, hoping for a glimpse of the object of his unrequited affections, an enigmatic Junior named Rebekkah Sterling. But as the music plays, a troubled young man sneaks in through the school’s back door. The dire choices this man makes that evening —and the unspoken story he carries— will tear the town of Bliss, Texas apart. Nearly ten years later, Oliver Loving still lies wordless and paralyzed at Crockett State Assisted Care Facility, the fate of his mind unclear. Orbiting the stillpoint of Oliver’s hospital bed is a family transformed: Oliver’s mother, Eve, who keeps desperate vigil; Oliver’s brother, Charlie, who has fled for New York City only to discover he cannot escape the gravity of his shattered family; Oliver’s father, Jed, who tries to erase his memories with bourbon. And then there is Rebekkah Sterling, Oliver’s teenage love, who left Texas long ago and still refuses to speak about her own part in that tragic night. When a new medical test promises a key to unlock Oliver’s trapped mind, the town’s unanswered questions resurface with new urgency, as Oliver’s doctors and his family fight for a way for Oliver to finally communicate— and so also to tell the truth of what really happened that fateful night. A moving meditation on the transformative power of grief and love, a slyly affectionate look at the idiosyncrasies of family, and an emotionally-charged page-turner, Stefan Merill Block's Oliver Loving is an extraordinarily original novel that ventures into the unknowable and returns with the most fundamental truths.
