Two of Agatha Christie`s most enduring - and endearing - sleuths star in this collection of mystery treats. Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple investigate cases of a country gentleman who is questioned about a murder not yet committed, a medium who is drawn closer to the world of the dead than she ever imagined, and a decorative doll in a London shop that adopts some rather human, and sinister, traits.

Sa richesse, sa haute naissance et ses relations lui donnaient un grand poids dans les provinces où se trouvaient ses biens. Les voisins étaient heureux de contenter ses moindres fantaisies; son seul nom faisait trembler les fonctionnaires du chef-lieu. Les occupations de tous les jours de Troïekourov consistaient en tournées à travers ses vastes propriétés, en festins prolongés et en facéties chaque jour inventées à cette occasion, et dont la victime était habituellement quelque nouvelle connaissance; encore de vieux amis même n`y...

American video and installation artist Doug Aitken exploded on the international art scene with his multi-screen work electric earth, which captivated audiences at the Venice and Whitney Biennales. This work focused on the bizarre nocturnal experiences of a young man exploring the edges of Los Angeles, presenting dream-like sequences which rearrange the linear flow of narrative into a series of unforgettable, disjointed photographic tableaux. Like much of his work, it contrasts the high-tech speed of contemporary daily life with the monotony of the urban landscape. In subsequent work set in distant places, from the island of Montserrat to the jungles of Guyana, Aitken creates unexpected yet beautiful imagery which encircles the viewer...

George Orwell`s vivid memoir of his time living among the desperately poor and destitute, Down and Out in Paris and London is a moving tour of the underworld of society.`You have talked so often of going to the dogs - and well, here are the dogs, and you have reached them.`Written when Orwell was a struggling writer in his twenties, it documents his `first contact with poverty`. Here, he painstakingly documents a world of unrelenting drudgery and squalor - sleeping in bug-infested hostels and doss houses of last resort, working as a dishwasher in Paris`s vile `Hotel X`, surviving on scraps and cigarette butts, living alongside tramps, a star-gazing pavement artist and a starving Russian ex-army captain.

After tales from the USA and Britain, Bill Bryson turns his roving eye to Australia, the only island that is also a continent and the only continent that is also a country. It is the driest, flattest, most desiccated, infertile and climatically aggressive of all the inhabited continents. It has more things that can kill you in a very nasty way that anywhere else. Yet when Bill Bryson travelled to Australia he promptly fell in love with the country. And who can blame him? The people are cheerful, the cities safe and clean, the food is excellent, the beer is cold and the sun nearly always shines. He tries to find out why Aussies are so cool, digging up a past that reveals convicts, explorers, gold diggers and outlaws.
