The ship carrying the devout to Jerusalem has run into rough waters, in this third outing for Sister Pelagia. Onboard is Manuila, controversial leader of the Foundlings, a sect that worships him as the Messiah. But soon the polarizing leader is no longer a passenger or a prophet but a corpse, beaten to death by someone almost supernaturally strong. But not everything is as it seems, and soon the clumsy, bespectacled, yet surprisingly astute nun finds her investigation taking her to the most dangerous areas of the Middle East and Russia. She emerges with not just the culprit in the case but also a clue to the earth`s greatest secret.

When a girl leaves her home at eighteen, she does one of two things. Either she falls into saving hands and becomes better, or she rapidly assumes the cosmopolitan standard of virtue and becomes worse.` The tale of Carrie Meeber`s rise to stardom in the theatre and George Hurstwood`s slow decline captures the twin poles of exuberance and exhaustion in modern city life as never before. The premier example of American naturalism, Dreiser`s remarkable first novel has deeply influenced such key writers as William Faulkner, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Saul Bellow, and Joyce Carol Oates. This edition uses the 1900 text, which is regarded as the author`s final version.

Some sisters are good friends, some are not. Sometimes there is more hate in a family than there is love. Karin is beautiful and has lots of men friends, but she can be very unkind to her sister Marcia. Perhaps when they were small, there was love between them, but that was a long time ago. They say that everybody has one crime in them. Perhaps they only take an umbrella that does not belong to them. Perhaps they steal from a shop, perhaps they get angry and hit someone, perhaps they

But Bee is unprepared for the terrifying truths she must face about her younger sibling when Tess`s broken body is discovered in Hyde Park. The police, Bee`s friends, her fiance and even her mother accept the fact that Tess committed suicide. But nobody knows a sister like a sister, and Bee is convinced that something more sinister is responsible for Tess`s untimely death. So she embarks on a journey to discover the truth, no matter the
"Sister Carrie" was first printed in 1900 but publication was effectively held up until 1912 because its realism and supposed immorality were judged likely to give offence. Theodore Dreiser intertwined his narrative of a young woman seduced by the lure of the modern city with the counter-narrative of a middle-aged man seduced by desire for Carrie herself. This eminently American story of rags to riches is balanced between Carrie Meeber`s rise to stardom in the theatre and George Hurstwood`s slow decline. The twin poles of exuberance and exhaustion in American life are captured as never before. The premier example of American naturalism, "Sister Carrie" has deeply influenced a number of writers, from William Faulkner and F. Scott...

The Russian creator of the czarist master detective Erast Fandorin here introduces another irresistible sleuth in the form of an orthodox nun in a remote province of late 19th-century Russia. Bishop Mitrofanii has a family crisis on his hands: one of his great aunt`s rare white bulldogs has been poisoned on her estate, probably as an attack on the old woman. With a fistful of erratic family members and hangers-on as possible suspects, the bishop knows the only person able to unravel the apparently clueless crime is Sister Pelagia - freckled, bespectacled, lively, curious, clumsy, and extraordinarily persistent.

The Pants first came to us at the perfect moment. That is, when we were splitting up for the first time. It was two summers ago when they first worked their magic, and last summer when they shook up our lives once again. You see, we don`t wear the Pants year-round. We let them rest so they are extra powerful when summer comes. (There was the time this spring when Carmen wore them to her mom`s wedding, but that was a special case.) Now we`re facing our last summer together. In September we go to college. And it`s not like one of those TV shows where all of us magically turn up at the same college. We`re going to four different colleges in four different cities (but all within four hours of one another - that was our one rule). We`re...
M-U-R-D-E-R. It began as an innocent parlor game intended to while away the hours on a bitter winter night. But the message that appeared before the amateur occultists snowbound at the Sittaford House was spelled out as loud and clear as a scream. Of course, the notion that they had foretold doom was pure bunk. Wasn`t it? And the discovery of a corpse was pure coincidence. Wasn`t it? If they`re to discover the answer to this baffling murder, perhaps they should play again. But a journey into the spirit world could prove terribly dangerous - especially when the killer is lurking in this one.

An outstanding communicator, Richard P. Feynman inspired a generation of students with his energetic, unorthodox style of teaching. Drawn from his celebrated and landmark text Lectures on Physics, Six Easy Pieces reveals Feynman`s distinctive style while introducing the essentials of physics to the general reader. The topics explored include atoms, the fundamentals of physics and its relation to other sciences, the theory of gravitation and quantum behaviour. `If one book was all that could be passed on to the next generation of scientists it would undoubtedly have to be Six Easy Pieces` - John Gribbin, New Scientist.

In the final days of the Second World War, Michael Rogan, an American intelligence officer, is tortured by a group of seven senior Gestapo officers who need to discover the secrets he alone can give them. Ten years later, when he has recovered from the appalling injuries he suffered, and determined to revenge the death of his wife at the hands of the same men, he begins a quest to track down and kill each one of his tormentors.

Written a year before Puzo completed The Godfather, published under a pseudonym and only very recently brought to light, Six Graves to Munich bears all the hallmarks of a master storyteller.
