No doubt you have heard of Casanova, the famous womanizer, and maybe you've seen the movie, or read the account of his life. But did you know he may have had a gay brother? Benedetto, a few years Giacomo's junior, was pressed into service of the Church, to follow the famous lover of women through the courts of Europe. On the way he had amorous adventures with countless men, but, unlike his brother, fell in love and kept alive a romantic relationship with a strapping German soldier over time and distance. Benedetto Casanova's (fictional) memoirs were discovered only in 1881, when an English...

Marten Weber's Gabriel is a complex tale of innocence lost and love won. Against the backdrop of a rising China, we witness culture shock and racism, cruelty and greed, while also gaining a fascinating insight into the world of diplomacy and big business. Overwhelmed by the world around them, two men lose everything they believe in, in order to find each other. This fantastic tale of a modern-day angel is a parable of human avarice and selfishness, a political thriller, a story of self-discovery, but ultimately a simple love story.

Sometime at the beginning of the last century, Jeremiah Hudgejaw, American business magnate and socialite, is returning from England with his daughter Vivian. A boisterous monomaniac, he has a few peculiarities that guarantee a humorous crossing aboard the RMS Noricum: for one, he is a moralist, and nothing rails him more than the lavender menace-an interesting quirk for someone with an inability to distinguish between genders. At the same time, he fights for women's equality and despises the English class system. Joining him on this highly entertaining voyage are a young Australian and his...

Then she is there, in the flesh: beautiful, seductive...

Six friends meet for dinner in one of the world's tallest buildings. They have known each other for years, and talk openly about their past, their hopes, and their desires.
