Control was the word Dr Toby Harper lived by. She strove to keep her life in order, her ER in order. But no one could have been prepared for the man she admits one quiet night to the Springer Hospital. Delirious and in critical condition from a possible viral infection of the brain, he barely responds to treatment. And then he disappears without trace. The subsequent search leads Toby to a second patient with the same infection. And it reveals an unsettling twist – the infection can only be spread through direct tissue exchange. Soon Toby`s on a trail that winds from a pregnant sixteen-year-old prostitute to an unexpected tragedy in her own home.

Written in 1932, but not published until 1962, over twenty years after its author`s death, The Life of Monsieur de Moliere charts the life of the French playwright, from his humble beginnings to later theatrical triumphs and political controversies. The work was met with disapproval by the Soviet authorities, who detected parallels between the lives of Moliere and Bulgakov, and viewed the work as a veiled critique of their own times.

A product of the golden age of Spanish drama, Life Is a Dream (La vida es sueno) is the masterpiece of Pedro Calderon de la Barca (1600-1681), a contemporary of Lope de Vega and one of Spain`s greatest literary figures. Acclaimed for his superb dramatic instincts and philosophical seriousness as well as his extraordinary imagination, Calderon exercised his best qualities in this allegorical play, an exploration of the mysteries of human destiny, the illusory nature of earthly existence, and the struggle between predestination and free will. The story revolves around the moral dilemmas of a Polish prince, unjustly imprisoned by his suspicious father. Against a background of revolution, Calderon builds a dramatic edifice of outstanding...

Modern views of Columbus are overshadowed by guilt about past conquests. Credit for discovering the New World, we are told, belongs to its original inhabitants rather than any European, and Columbus gave those inhabitants nothing apart from death, disease and destruction. Yet for the Old World of Europe the four voyages of Columbus brought revelation where before there had been only myths and guesswork. People had thought it was only the great distance that made it impossible to reach Asia sailing west from Spain. No one had predicted that a vast continent stood in the way. And indeed, for Columbus himself, the revolution of understanding was too much to comprehend. He had counted on a new route to Asia that would bring him glory, riches...

This book is a celebration. Yes, undeniably, there is some sadness in these pages. Why in the world was Kennedy killed? Why couldn`t Marilyn have found happiness? Why did Michael leave the stage so early? But also, we revisit the dynamism of JFK, the beauty of Marilyn Monroe and the pure excitement that was Michael Jackson. In these pages, we lament the premature exits, but thrillingly celebrate the lives that were lived lived, often, to the very fullest. This special LIFE book is brimful with the stories of people we loved. The fans of Judy Garland, Elvis Presley and John Lennon were legion, and so were those of Tim Russert and John Ritter. These are people who, when we learned they had passed, made us sit up, take notice and focus on...

Fashioned from the same experiences that would inspire the masterpiece "Huckleberry Finn", "Life on the Mississippi" is Mark Twain’s most brilliant and most personal nonfiction work. It is at once an affectionate evocation of the vital river life in the steamboat era and a melancholy reminiscence of its passing after the Civil War, a priceless collection of humorous anecdotes and folktales, and a unique glimpse into Twain’s life before he began to write. Written in a prose style that has been hailed as among the greatest in English literature, "Life on the Mississippi" established Twain as not only the most popular humorist of his time but also America’s most profound chronicler of the human comedy.

The Victorian era has dominated the popular imagination like no other period, but the familiarity with later 19th-century stories and history tends to give us a distorted view. Using character portraits and key events, Paterson brings the world of Victorian Britain alive, from the lifestyles of the aristocrats to the depths of the London slums.

`Who has not Tristram Shandy read? Is any mortal so ill bred?` So wrote the young James Boswell in the spring of 1760, when Sterne`s comic novel was received with extravagant popular acclaim and some bewilderment. Indeed, how can one describe a novel whose hero-narrator fails in the first two volumes even to get himself born? A narrator who, in a series of digressions he calls the `sunshine` of reading, interests us instead in such characters as his uncle Toby, a devotee of wargames in the garden, or Parson Yorick, a self-portrait of the author? The text of this Oxford World`s Classics edition is based on the first editions of all nine volumes. No unnecessary modernization has obscured Sterne`s idiosyncratic presentation of the novel.

Bill Bryson`s first travel book opened with the immortal line, "I come from Des Moines. Somebody had to". In this deeply funny new book, he travels back in time to explore the ordinary kid he once was, in the curious world of 1950s America. It was a happy time, when almost everything was good for you, including DDT, cigarettes and nuclear fallout. This is a book about one boy`s growing up. But in Bryson`s hands, it becomes everyone`s story, one that will speak volumes - especially to anyone who has ever been young.

This magical book represents the fruits of a 27-year collaboration between a renowned photographer and a legendary woman. Howell Conant first met trace Kelly on a 1955 modeling assignment, and found an instant, easy rapport. From then until Grace`s untimely death in September of 1982, Conant was always present - in New York City, in Jamaica, in Hollywood, in Monaco - to make the most intimate pictures of this astonishingly lovely person. (In fact, his attendance at the princess`s funeral marked the very first time he traveled to Monaco without his camera.) Many of the sublime images in this book appeared in the pages of LIFE, Look, Paris Match, Collier`s, and other magazines. Several more of these photographs are seen here for the first...
