Istres-Marseille. Pour Jeanne, la vie est ponctuée par cet aller-retour ferroviaire quotidien entre son travail de gratte-papier au commissariat et la maison de sa mère. Elle attend néanmoins qu`un événement vienne secouer le fil de son existence: un regard, enfin, du capitaine Esposito? La résolution, peut-être, de cette ffaire de serial killer qui défraie la chronique phocéenne? "Vous êtes si belle, Jeanne Si touchante et si belle." Ce soir-là, une lettre, glissée entre deux banquettes, semble combler toutes ses espérances. Un peu trop, même. Car derrière le mystérieux soupirant se cache le meurtrier tant recherché par la police. Commence alors une...

For Chancelade, the world is teeming with beauty, wonder and possibilities. From a small boy playing on the beach, through his adolescence and his first love, to the death of his father and on to the end of his own life, he relishes the most minute details of his physical surroundings - whether a grain of sand, an insect or a blade of grass - as he journeys on a sensory adventure from cradle to grave. Filled with cosmic ruminations, lyrical description and virtuoso games of language and the imagination, Terra Amata brilliantly explores humankind`s place in the universe, the relationship between us and the Earth we inhabit and, ultimately, how to live.

Terraces and balconies have always been essential architectural features - they are effectively the continuation of a dwelling outdoors. Terraces are mostly related directly to the landscape surrounding a building. They can frame a view - for instance, through canopies or side walls - they can imitate particular landscape elements on their own more human scale, or they can enable the landscape to be perceived and experienced in a different way. Unlike terraces, balconies are first and foremost a structural element of a house, epitomising the character of the building and its architectural style. The balcony can be the crowning glory of a house - the extension of the living space outdoors. This book introduces terraces and balconies from...

Писательский труд был не единственным в жизни Антуана де Сент-Экзюпери. С призыва в армию и определения в авиационный полк в 1921 году он стал летчиком - и оставался им до конца жизни. Профессия пилота в то время была особенно опасной: совершать разведывательные полеты, перевозить почту приходилось при далеко не совершенном техническом оснащении. Нередки были аварийные посадки и даже авиакатастрофы - в двух...

Catherine Ire, Anna Ivanovna, Elisabeth Ire, Anna Leopoldovna: chacune imposera son caractère, ses amours et ses cruauté
John Updike has written a brilliant novel that ranks among the most provocative of his distinguished career. Terrorist is the story of Ahmad Ashmawy Mulloy, an alienated American-born teenager who spurns the materialistic, hedonistic life he witnesses in the slumping New Jersey factory town he calls home. Turning to the words of the Holy Qur’an as expounded to him by the pedantic imam of a local mosque, Ahmad devotes himself fervently to God. Neither the world-weary guidance counselor at his high school nor Ahmad’s mischievously seductive classmate Joryleen succeeds in deflecting him from his course, as the threads of an insidious plot gather around him.

`Nothing is so improbable as what is true` Of all the writers of ghost and horror stories, Ambrose Bierce is perhaps the most colourful. He was a dark, cynical and pessimistic soul who had a grim vision of fate and the unfairness of life, which he channelled into his fiction. And in his death, or rather his disappearance, he created a mystery as strange and unresolved as any that he penned himself. But more of that later. Ambrose Gwinett Bierce was born in a log cabin on 21st June 1842, in Horse Creek, Meigs County, Ohio, USA. He was the tenth of thirteen children, ten of whom survived infancy. His father, an unsuccessful farmer with an unseemly love of literature, had given all the Bierce children names beginning with `A`. There was...
