Captured!, first published in 1930, is the dramatic World War I account of Ferdinand Huszti Horvath (1891-1973), who served in the Austro-Hungarian army on the eastern front in the bitter fighting against the Russians. Horvath paints a realistic picture of combat and the miserable conditions in the frontlines. Later, Horvath is captured by Russian troops and imprisoned for 2-1/2 years. After escaping from the prison camp and a hazardous journey across Russia (then in the throes of the turbulent Communist revolution), he made his way to freedom in Sweden. The book ends at that point in Hovarth's life, but he would go on to emigrate to America, working as an animator for Disney and other Hollywood studios.

The sexual odyssey of a hopeless romantic from the author of the legendary bestseller The Ginger Man—“a comic writer rivaling Waugh and Wodehouse” (Life). In the years before and after World War II, Balthazar B is the world’s last shy, elegant young man. Born to riches in Paris and raised by his solicitous governess, Balthazar is shipped away to prep school in England where he is befriended by the noble but flagrantly naughty Beefy. Together, Balthazar and Beefy matriculate to Trinity College, Dublin. There, Balthazar reads zoology and Beefy prepares for holy orders, all the while sharing amorous adventures high and low until their university careers come to an abrupt and decidedly unholy end. Out of the cocooned, innocent sexuality of Balthazar B, J. P. Donleavy—one of the most vital, and often condemned, comic voices of the twentieth century—created “one of the most perfect love affairs in modern literature . . . revelatory and delightful . . . lush and lovely, bawdy and sad” (The New York Times). “If Nancy Mitford and James Joyce had collaborated, the result might have been like the adventures of Balthazar B.” —The Guardian

Desperate to escape her life in Missouri as a barely-tolerated poor relation, Judith Alder journeys west to live with her uncle, only to be abandoned along the Santa Fe Trail. Her only hope of survival is a motley crew of cowboys and a simple ranch that becomes an oasis to Judith's broken soul. Her fondness for the New Mexico Territory grows as a seed of love sprouts toward Jefferson Bradley, the ranch's owner and trail boss. But Judith struggles with learning to trust God with every part of her life, including the possibility of losing Jeff to a former love. Is God abandoning Judith to a life of hopeless wandering, or can she trust Him to lead her toa place she can finally call home?

We're surrounded by food portions we've been led to believe are normal-64-ounce sodas, personal pizzas large enough to feed several people, and steaks and pastas that fill an entire plate. No wonder obesity rates in America have reached an all-time high. We eat oversize portions, gain weight, and try the latest fad diet, which only adds to our confusion about how to lose weight. Nutritionist and portion-size expert Dr. Lisa R. Young says the solution is simple: Eat foods you love in reasonable portions, and you will lose your excess weight and keep it off for good. Finally Full, Finally Slim shows you how to permanently lose weight by right-sizing your portions without eliminating entire food groups or staring at an empty plate. Within these pages, Dr. Young outlines thirty days' worth of simple changes to help you shed pounds and provides a portion plan that ensures you will feel satisfied. She expertly describes the relevance of diet to health and steers you toward whole foods and away from clever marketing claims that may be secretly sabotaging your weight-loss efforts. You'll learn useful strategies for how to eat out, enjoy special occasions, and indulge in a favorite treat without tipping the scale. And because weight loss is about more than food, Dr. Young addresses the whole person-your mind-set, environment, habits, and life-through research-based advice. You'll learn how relationships, gratitude, self-compassion, and sleep patterns, for instance, can make a difference. Portion control outlives all fad diets because it isn't a diet. It's a lifestyle.
