Sorcha Carmody owns 365 satin gloves.Living with contamination focused obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), Sorcha battles her way to recovery in her own ways, whether it be opening doors with her elbows or carrying around her own coffee creamer--and whether it means keeping it a secret from everyone in her life. Working as a reporter at the Adoration Times, a newspaper solely focused on weddings and love, Sorcha has become disillusioned with the romantic complex after her latest breakup. To make matters worse, Adoration is transferring ownership over to the brooding CEO Dmitri Darlington. When Dmitri offers Sorcha a promotion in exchange for teaching him her reporter ways, she has no choice but to say yes. Sorcha concocts a plan to make Dmitri fall in love to ease his irritable temperament. Just as Sorcha bargains for Dmitri to move into an apartment with her for her plans to unfold, she is sent on assignment to a destination wedding in Monterey, California by her boss---and forced to bring Dmitri along. With nowhere to run, Sorcha is finally forced to confront her OCD fears...with a person she'd never expect. Even amidst her matchmaking and attempt to save the newspaper, Sorcha can't help but begin to understand the shy Dmitri, realizing he is not as awful as his reputation makes him seem, and perhaps it is time to write a new headline for her own life...and his. Yet, the more she begins to know him, she can't help but wonder, will he stay once he learns the reason behind the satin gloves? Or will he run because of his own secrets?

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Französische Philologie - Literatur, Note: 2,3, Christian-Albrechts-Universität Kiel (Romanisches Seminar), Veranstaltung: Sprachwissenschaftliches Proseminar, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die folgende Arbeit untersucht die beiden utopischen Werke Voyage en Icarie (1848) und Brave New World (1932) vergleichend bezüglich des Aspekts der Erziehung und ihrer Bedeutung in Utopia .Bereits bei meinem eigenen Aufsatz über die ideale Welt zur ersten Sitzung schrieb ich über aktuelle gesellschaftliche Probleme, den Umgang der Menschen miteinander, ihrer Lebenseinstellung etc., welche zumindest ansatzweise durch eine entsprechende Erziehung, die die Vermittlung von moralischen Grundwerten beinhaltet, gelöst oder verbessert werden könnten. Da mir im Laufe des Seminars erneut auffiel, dass die Erziehung der Gesellschaft eines utopischen Staates eine wichtige Rolle spielt, beschloss ich sie zum Thema meiner Hausarbeit zu machen. Bei der Werksuche stieß ich schnell auf Aldous Huxley mit Brave New World als einen sehr bekannten dystopischen Roman des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts. Zur Gegenüberstellung suchte ich ein französisches Werk, in dem sich der Autor ebenfalls mit der Thematik Erziehung auseinandersetzt. So stieß ich auf Étienne Cabet und seine Utopie Voyage en Icarie und stellte schnell fest, dass es trotz der relativ großen Differenz der Erscheinungsjahre viele Parallelen und Unterschiede bezüglich der Erziehung gibt. Um zu begründen, dass diese als Reaktion auf die jeweilige politische und soziale Lage der Autorenrealität zu verstehen ist, werde ich jene Realitäten der beiden Autoren erläutern. Ich möchte behaupten, dass für einen Großteil aller Dys- und Utopien gilt:Erziehung ist die Basis einer idealen Gesellschaft.Um dieses belegen zu können beschreibe ich die Methoden, Lern- und Lehrinhalte und deren Auswirkungen auf die utopische Gesellschaft.Diese Arbeit wird aufzeigen, inwiefern und welche Kritik Cabet und Huxley üben, welche unterschiedlichen Zukunfts- oder ideale Szenarien sie bedingt durch die Erziehung projiziert haben und welche Lösungsansätze -und warum ausgerechnet diese- sie selbst anbieten.
