In the East End, twelve-year-old Tara witnesses her villain of a father almost kill her mother. She forges a determination then and there to change her life. This is the story of three beautiful and talented women. Mabel, whose great love for a gambling man has brought her close to insanity; gentle Amy, who marries a man brutalised by war and failure; and Tara, who is hungry for success and life on her own terms. To have both, she must battle against the legacy these two women have left her, the deep prejudices and dangers of Whitechapel in the 1960s - with its gang leaders, rogues, market traders and dolly birds - and the passionate love she has had since girlhood for the charming wideboy and villain, Harry Collins.

Un episode imaginaire de la lutte des cosaques contre les Polonais dans l`Ukraine du XVII siecle. Le vieux Taras Boulba, cosaque des temps heroiques, apres avoir initie a la guerre ses deux fils, perd l`aine sous les coups de l`ennemi et tue de ses propres mains le cadet qui, araoureux d`une Polonaise catholique, a trahi sa famille et la foi orthodoxe. A la suite de deux grandes batailles, Taras Boulba est fait prisonnier et meurt brule vif sur le bucher. La reussite du reck, ecrit par Gogol quand il a a peine vingt-six ans, tient a ce que le souffle epique у cotoie sans cesse la truculence quasi rabelaisienne de la fete, des beuveries cosaques, mais aussi 1`evocation poetique d`une Ukraine primitive.

The First New Translation in Forty Years Set sometime between the mid-sixteenth and early-seventeenth century, Gogol’s epic tale recounts both a bloody Cossack revolt against the Poles (led by the bold Taras Bulba of Ukrainian folk mythology) and the trials of Taras Bulba’s two sons. As Robert Kaplan writes in his Introduction, “[Taras Bulba] has a Kiplingesque that makes it a pleasure to read, but central to its theme is an unredemptive, darkly evil violence that is far beyond anything that Kipling ever touched on. We need more works like Taras Bulba to better understand the emotional wellsprings of the threat we face today in places like the Middle East and Central Asia”.

Heros de la petite ville de Tarascon, Tartarin ne reve que d`aventure et de chasse au lion. Mais que l`Afrique est loin pour qui n`a jamais quitte sa maison ! L`intrepide chasseur s`embarque enfin: parviendra-t-il a debusquer un fauve du desert ?
