Pr Pak Dashuri

Për Pak Dashuri

Gjithshka fillon me një udhëtim të këndshëm të një grupi të rinjsh nga Gjermania në një vend të vogël mistik. Ditët e tyre janë të mbushura plot me aventura të paparashikueshme.

Që nga plazhet e vetmuar e të virgjër e deri në zjarret buzë detit, ose fjetjet jashtë në pyll nëpër tenda kampimi.

Por gjërat ndryshojnë kur njërës nga vajzat i shfaqet papritur nëpër terr një grua me fustan të përgjakur e cila vrapon të fshihet në pyll.

Askush nuk di asgjë për të madje nuk janë të sigurtë a ishte imazh I vërtetë apo jo, përveç udhërrëfyesit të turistëve që di gjithshka. Ai me njohuritë e tij i shpie turistët mbrapsht në kohë të përjetojnë historinë më të dhimbshme të dashurisë që ka ndodhur në atë vend.

Mekatet e Zonjes Ema

Mëkatet e Zonjës Ema

Kriza në familje nuk diskriminon. Ajo prek edhe familje që nuk kanë probleme financiare. Personazhi i Emës është një grua që në pamje të parë ka gjithçka: sukses, para, familje të rregullt, por në vetvete ndihet e paplotësuar.

Gjithçka që ka arritur në jetë asaj i duket e pamjaftueshme për të qenë e lumtur. Në kërkim të vetvetes ajo gjen dashurinë e jetës së saj që do të ndryshojë çdo gjë. Personazhi i Emës, nëpërmjet ngjarjeve që marrin kthesa të paparishkueshme, do t`ju fusë në skutat shpirtërore të botës së saj.

Ky libër do t`ju mbajë në tension gjatë gjithë kohës dhe nuk do ta lëshoni dot nga dora. Do të përfshiheni tërësisht në luftën e Emës midis asaj çka është e drejtë dhe e moralshme dhe asaj që kërkon zemra e saj.
