A la fin d’une chasse, pendant la curée, les chiens dévorent les entrailles de la bête tuée. Pour le jeune Zola, qui déteste son époque, c’est le cœur de Paris, entaillé par les larges avenues de Napoléon III, que des spéculateurs véreux s’arrachent. Ce deuxième volume des Rougon-Macquart, histoire naturelle et sociale d’une famille sous le Second Empire, est l’un des plus violents. Zola ne pardonne pas ces fortunes rapides qui inondent les allées du Bois d’attelages élégants, de toilettes de Worms et de bijoux éclatants. Aristide Saccard a réussi. Mais tout s’est dénaturé autour de lui: son épouse, Renée, la femme qui...

Can George count all the way to 100? He has picked the perfect day to try: It`s his town`s 100th birthday today, and everyone is coming out to celebrate! Young minds (and little fingers) will learn along with George, discovering different techniques for counting to 100, such as grouping and mapping. Each colourful page features familiar things to count, from home (toys, shoes, and plates) to the park (bugs, sticks, and clouds) to school (paste, crayons, and books). Now, in a newly redesigned paperback with a smaller trim and bright new cover, this is the perfect book for celebrating counting, numbers, and the 100th day of school.
This book and outfit package includes a board book and six-month-size all-cotton snapsuit for babies, making it the perfect baby shower or new arrival gift. The snapsuit features an image of George at his most adorable, silkscreened onto the front. The board book is a refreshed version of our First Words at the Zoo - updated with our Curious Baby colors and a new cover. The packaging will include new parent tips on sharing books and a love of reading with their new baby.

Full grown with a long, smoke-coloured beard, requiring the services of a cane and fonder of cigars than warm milk, Benjamin Button is a very curious baby indeed. And, as Benjamin becomes increasingly youthful with the passing years, his family wonders why he persists in the embarrassing folly of living in reverse. In this imaginative fable of ageing and the other tales collected here - including "The Cut-Glass Bowl", in which an ill-meant gift haunts a family`s misfortunes, "The Four Fists", where a man`s life is shaped by a series of punches to his face, and the revelry, mobs and anguish of "May Day" - F. Scott Fitzgerald displays his unmatched gift as a writer of short stories.
