"Concrete Evidence": A skeleton is found in the concrete cellar floor of an old Edinburgh house. Whose skeleton is it? Was there a murder? Why? And who was the murderer? Is there any connection with the building company which laid the concrete floor thirty years before? Rebus has his suspicions, but before he can positively identify the dead man and his murderer, he needs concrete evidence. "The Gentlemen`s Club": Seventeen-year-old Suzanne McKenzie was good at school, had rich parents and no boyfriend problems. So why should she kill herself? She was found naked in the bath with her wrists cut, even though -or perhaps because - she knew that her father would be the first to come into the bathroom that morning. The truths which Rebus...
Today, concrete as a building material has a solid place in the designs of architects and engineers. The times when it used to be regarded as "cold" and even "brutal" are long gone now. On the contrary, the improved image of concrete is trendy and chic, but simultaneously unobtrusive and timeless. Thanks to new technologies, in recent years it has also been used both outside and inside as a building material for facades. Considered an esthetic, high-quality material which is functional yet can still be decorative, it is the building material of our age. Concrete is used and valued throughout the world and across all cultures. The Western nations, as well as Japan and South America, are famous for their sensitively designed and...

Je sentis avant de penser: c`est le sort commun de l`humanité. Je l`éprouvai plus qu`un autre. J`ignore ce que je fis jusqu`à cinq ou six ans; je ne sais comment j`appris à lire; je ne me souviens que de mes premières lectures et de leur effet sur moi: c`est le temps d`où je date sans interruption la conscience de moi-même. Ma mère avait laissé des romans. Nous nous mîmes à les lire après souper, mon père et moi. Il n`était question d`abord que de m`exercer à la lecture par des livres amusants; mais bientôt l`intérêt devint si vif, que nous lisions tour à tour sans relâche, et passions les nuits à cette occupation. Nous ne pouvions...

In "Confessions of a Bad Mother", Stephanie described how she brought up her children ‘wrong’. Now she unlocks her singular inability (but one which secretly we all share) to grow up: forty-five last birthday but she doesn`t feel any older, but of course she does – as in deafer, stiffer, and less able to read the dosage instructions on a bottle of Calpol. But the supposedly normal challenges of human existence feel frequently as though they are beyond her. Life is constantly confusing, frustrating and, at times, overwhelming. At forty-five – but only on paper - she`s still a child in a suit, bluffing her way with one eye looking over her shoulder, expecting any minute to be found out and taken back to the nursery. Of course, that...

He emigrated to Paris, Kim turns to his childhood friend, Arkady. Before being separated at the age of fourteen, the two boys grew up together in a village community, not far from Leningrad. Kim and Arkady living happy years. Both pioneers in a youth movement, they walk proudly toward the radiant horizon promise them propaganda films, the rhythm of songs that celebrate the heroes of the war and the mythical figure of the worker. But some parents are heavy silences of innuendo. Gradually emerges in them the feeling they were duped. And for the adult in the eyes for a long time opened, the nostalgia is twofold: that of scenes from the childhood memory of a light snow bath, is added the more unexpected at the time of lies and of blindness.
