Created by an Irish clergyman, Melmoth is one of the most fiendish characters in literature. In a satanic bargain, Melmoth exchanges his soul for immortality. The story of his tortured wanderings through the centuries is pieced together through those who have been implored by Melmoth to take over his pact with the devil.

Empress Catherine II brought Europe to Russia, and Russia to Europe, during her long and eventful reign (1762-96).

The collection included such stories as `The Adventure of the Resident Patient` and `The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter`, which Doyle would list later as amongst his favourites.It was to Moriarty that was delegated the task of ending the career...

"Vers 1928, le commissaire Maigret voit arriver au Quai des Orfèvres un jeune journaliste très sûr de lui, et même passablement arrogant, qui s`appelle Georges Sim. Et qui n`hésite pas à publier un peu plus tard, à grand renfort de publicité, un roman le mettant en scène, lui Maigret, sous son vrai nom! Bien des années plus tard, devenu l`ami de Simenon, Maigret prend la plume à son tour, désireux de rectifier l`image que le romancier a donnée de lui et de son métier.

This is a seductive and evocative epic on an intimate scale, which tells the extraordinary story of a geisha girl. Summoning up more than twenty years of Japan`s most dramatic history, it uncovers a hidden world of eroticism and enchantment, exploitation and degradation. From a small fishing village in 1929, the tale moves to the glamorous and decadent heart of Kyoto in the 1930s, where a young peasant girl is sold as servant and apprentice to a renowned geisha house. She tells her story many years later from the Waldorf Astoria in New York; it exquisitely evokes another culture, a different time and the details of an extraordinary way of life. It conjures up the perfection and the ugliness of life behind rice-paper screens, where young...
