Glen Runciter is dead. Or is he? Someone died in the explosion orchestrated by his business rivals, but even as his funeral is scheduled, his mourning employees are receiving bewildering messages from their boss. And the world around them is warping and regressing in ways which suggest that their own time is running out. If it hasn''t already.

The portrayal of Stephen Dedalus's Dublin childhood and youth, his quest for identity through art and his gradual emancipation from the claims of family, religion and Ireland itself, is also an oblique self-portrait of the young James Joyce and a universal testament to the artist's 'eternal imagination'.

Continuing the story of The Hobbit, this three-volume boxed set of Tolkiens epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, features striking black covers based on Tolkiens own design, the definitive text, and three maps including a detailed map of Middle-earth.Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him all the Rings of Power the means by which he intends to rule Middle-earth. All he lacks in his plans for dominion is the One Ring the ring that rules them all which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins.In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.Since it was first published in 1954, The Lord of the Rings has been a book people have treasured. Steeped in unrivalled magic and otherworldliness, its sweeping fantasy has touched the hearts of young and old alike.

From the international best-selling author of The Last Kabbalist of Lisbon comes a dazzling new work of historical fiction. In the New Testament, we are told that Jesus resurrected a beloved friend named Lazarus from the dead. Missing from the Gospel is a description of how Jesus accomplished this miracle and if he had a special purpose for saving his companion.Acclaimed and best-selling historical novelist Richard Zimler takes up the tale, and through the eyes of the troubled Lazarus, recreates the story of the Passion. Returned to life, Lazarus has difficulties regaining his previous identity and confidence. His experience of death has left him fragile and disoriented. Worse still, he has seen nothing of any afterlife.As Lazarus turns more and more to Jesus for guidance and answers, watching as his friend's mystical powers grow, along with his cult, he finds that their lives are now politically and, therefore, dangerously entwined.In an often surprising and subtle portrayal, Zimler places Jesus in his historical context of ancient Jewish practise and traditions; at once a charismatic Rabbi and political activist, who used his knowledge of a transcendent reality - the Kingdom of Heaven - to bring justice and compassion to his time and place.Through Lazarus, Zimler makes the familiar story new and finds fresh meaning and poignancy in the Passion and Crucifixion.

Walt Whitman's verse gave the poetry of America a distinctive national voice. It reflects the unique vitality of the new nation, the vastness of the land and the emergence of a sometimes troubled consciousness, communicated in language and idiom regarded by many at the time as shocking. Whitman's poems are organic and free flowing, fit into no previously defined genre and skilfully combine autobiographical, sociological and religious themes with lyrical sensuality. His verse is a fitting celebration of a new breed of American and includes Song of Myself, Crossing Brooklyn Ferry, the celebratory Passage to India, and his fine elegy for the assassinated President Lincoln, When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd.

Pour une journée qui s''annonçait vide, elle commençait de bien bonne heure...". Durant cette journée du 11 septembre 1939, sur une passerelle de la gare de Saint-Brieuc, le narrateur, comme s''il attendait quelque train toujours retarde, se rappelle une rencontre : Salido, combattant antifranquiste, qu''il a connu du temps ou il etait charge d''accueillir des refugies de la guerre d''Espagne. Ainsi ses souvenirs vont-ils s''organiser autour de Salido, ce rebelle, anime de l''esprit de revolte qui hante aussi le narrateur. Le recit conjugue present et souvenir, destin et retour sur soi, comme le suggere l''image de cette passerelle au-dessus des rails. O.K., Joe !, issu d''un travail au ciseau et a la colle s''apparentant au montage cinematographique, nous propose une suite de scenes : viols, meurtres, proces, ayant pour cadre la Bretagne de 1944, tout recemment liberee. Louis Guilloux etait alors interprete aupres des tribunaux militaires de l''armee americaine. En "gros plan", toujours, des vies dont il se fait le chroniqueur discret, le temoin : "Ask the witness...".

Bertold Brechtek dio bere gogoaren aurka, bortxaz, egoerak behartuta herria, familia, etxea utzi eta kanpora joan beharra duen hori, ez dela emigrantea, desterratua baizik. Ikuspuntu horrek eraman du egilea, zenbait galderaren erantzun bila. Bizitzaren emariak milaka eta milaka pertsona, familia, hara eta hona mugitzen ditu. Eta beti dago arrazoi bat atzean, beti dago istorio bat, ibai bat, bizitza horiek hara eramaten dituena: gerra, maitasuna, beldurra, esperantza... Euskal Herrira ere iritsi ziren desterratuz betetako trenak. Lur ezezagun hontara, bizibide hobearen bila zetozen milaka eta milaka emigrante familia haiek. Horietako baten istorioa da honakoa. Maletaz eta istorioz zamatuta trenetik jaitsi eta Vascongadas izeneko lur arrotz eta amiltsuan bizitzen jarri zen familia baten abentura. Egun, munduko edozein bazterretan gertatzen ari den bezalaxe, Euskal Herriaren historian berebiziko garrantzia izan duen fenomeno batean girotutako nobela da hau. Han hasi eta hemen jarraitu, lurraldeak zeharkatu eta belaunaldien zubipetatik iragan; inoiz bukatzen ez den istorioa.

30 agosto 1975. Nola Kellergan, una ragazzina di 15 anni, scompare. Nulla ad Aurora, New Hampshire, sara piu lo stesso. Trentanni dopo le indagini vengono riaperte e inizia la ricerca della verita sul caso Harry Quebert. Marcus Goldman, giovane scrittore di successo, e nel pieno di un blocco creativo. Cosi decide di rivolgersi al suo mentore, Harry Quebert, uno degli autori piu stimati del paese, nella speranza di superare la crisi e consegnare in tempo il suo nuovo libro. Ma quello che aspetta Marcus non e certo una vacanza: nella villa di Harry infatti la polizia rinviene dopo trentanni il corpo della giovane Nola Kellergan, scomparsa nel 1975. Tra i due si era consumata una relazione burrascosa, anche per via della differenza deta, quindi lo scrittore diventa presto lindiziato principale, lopinione pubblica gli si avventa contro e lui, accusato di omicidio, rischia la pena di morte. A Marcus il compito di investigare: tra i libri del suo maestro e nel passato degli stimati abitanti di Aurora, con il solo obiettivo di salvare Harry, la propria carriera e forse anche se stesso. La verita sul caso Harry Quebert e un fiume in piena, travolge il lettore e lo calamita dalla prima allultima pagina. È il giallo salutato come levento editoriale degli ultimi anni: geniale, divertente, appassionante, capace di stregare prima la Francia, poi il mondo intero. Con 800.000 copie vendute in Italia, e il best seller presente nelle classifiche dal 2013, anno della sua pubblicazione, e ha ispirato la miniserie evento del 2019 diretta da Jean-Jacques Annaud e interpretata da Patrick Dempsey.

Between life and death there is a library. When Nora Seed finds herself in the Midnight Library, she has a chance to make things right. Up until now, her life has been full of misery and regret. She feels she has let everyone down, including herself. But things are about to change. The books in the Midnight Library enable Nora to live as if she had done things differently. With the help of an old friend, she can now undo every one of her regrets as she tries to work out her perfect life. But things aren't always what she imagined they'd be, and soon her choices place the library and herself in extreme danger. Before time runs out, she must answer the ultimate question: what is the best way to live?

Over the Grass is the title poem of the book and the first poem I wrote of many. Some of which came to me in their entirety, which I dictated and then typed out, and some that I worked laboriously picking apart each word to make the perfect poem. They are eclectic and honest and not trying to be anything other than what they are and for that reason I'm proud of them, especially because the spirit in which they were written was very authentic. Lana Del Rey Lana's breathtaking first book solidifies her further as 'the essential writer of her times' (The Atlantic). The collection features more than thirty poems, many exclusive to the book: Never to Heaven, The Land of 1,000 Fires, Past the Bushes Cypress Thriving, LA Who Am I to Love You?, Tessa DiPietro, Happy, Paradise Is Very Fragile, Bare Feet on Linoleum and many more. This beautiful hardcover edition showcases Lana's typewritten manuscript pages alongside her original photography. The result is an extraordinary poetic landscape that reflects the unguarded spirit of its creator.

A curse has hung over the Baskerville family for generations and the latest victim is Sir Charles Baskerville. Could the legendary gigantic hound be responsible for his death - or is there a malevolent human hand behind the seemingly supernatural events? It's up to Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson to uncover the truth. This book has matching lined and blank journals (sold separately). They make a great gift when paired together but are also just as beautiful on their own.
