Why on earth would anyone give up a life on the open road for the regimen of a vast Japanese conglomerate? And is it really so different in Japan from everywhere else? Niall Murtagh spent years as a world traveller - hitchhiking to Istanbul, bussing to Kathmandu and crossing the Atlantic in a home-built yacht. In 1986 he closed the door on his adventurous life and settled down in Japan, eventually joining Mitsubishi as a Salaryman – a man in a shiny suit with a shiny attaché case in a conglomerate with 100,000 employees. And what happens when you give up the Salaryman life? The book follows life after the corporation, giving fresh perspectives on the nature of Japanese business culture and the problems faced by outsiders in Japan.

A gripping psychological thriller played out in cyberspace, from the bestselling author of Chocolat and The Lollipop Shoes. Once there was a widow with three sons, and their names were Black, Brown and Blue. Black was the eldest; moody and aggressive. Brown was the middle child, timid and dull. But Blue was his mother`s favourite. And he was a murderer. Blueyedboy is the brilliant new novel from Joanne Harris: a dark and intricately plotted tale of a poisonously dysfunctional family, a blind child prodigy, and a serial murderer who is not who he seems. Told through posts on badguysrock@, this is a thriller that makes creative use of all the disguise, deception and mind games that are offered by playing out one`s life on the internet.

Boris Vian a compose ces cinq histoires au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, dans une humeur baignee de jazz et de liberte. Recits tendres et cocasses, parfois dune folle cruaute, ils sont tous traverses par le reve dune Amerique tutelaire, grace auquel Vian, qui pourtant ne franchit jamais l`Ocean, donne libre cours a sa geniale inventivite. Ces histoires illustrent comment cet ecrivain precoce se mit rapidement a jouer sur le langage, en se forgeant un style qui sert aujourd`hui encore de reference.
