For years he explored the Amazon and came to believe that its jungle concealed a large, complex civilization, like El Dorado. Obsessed with its discovery, he christened it the City of Z. In 1925, Fawcett headed into the wilderness with his son Jack, vowing to make history.

FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR*, ELSIE SILVER! SET IN THE SAME BELOVED UNIVERSE AS SMASH-HIT SERIES CHESTNUT SPRINGS: SMALL-TOWN, BIG CHARACTERS, FOUR ADDICTIVE LOVE STORIES . . . MEET THE SINGLE DADS OF ROSE HILL. ''Elsie Silver''s writing is a true revelation!'' ALI HAZELWOOD''This book contains a hero to die for'' TESSA BAILEY----I''d always dreamed of my wedding day. But not like this. Not looking into the eyes of the man who betrayed me. But when my nephew''s guardianship is contested, I decide I''ll do whatever it takes to keep him in Rose Hill. Even if it means marrying the enemy. Rhys Dupris. A man who is secretive, broody, and completely infuriating. A man whose work takes him away for weeks on end and brings him back covered in mysterious bruises-ones he won''t talk about. In fact, we barely talk at all. Which would be fine, except when he''s not talking, he''s staring. And the way he looks at me is borderline indecent. The tension between us has always been palpable. But living under the same roof is a dangerous temptation. I swore I would never forgive him. But that was before I knew the man behind the mask. The one who''s fierce and protective. The one who''s gentle and patient. The one who shows up for us when we need him most. He''s not at all who I thought he was. And that makes hating my husband so much harder... and loving him just a little too easy.

Pour une banale histoire de bouteille introduite illicitement dans son restaurant, le jeune Alexandre Romani poignarde Alban Genevey au milieu d'une foule de touristes massés sur un port corse. Alban, etudiant dont les parents possedent une residence secondaire sur l'ile, connait son agresseur depuis l'enfance. Des lors, le narrateur, intimement lie aux Romani, remonte - comme on remonterait un fleuve et ses affluents - la ligne de vie des protagonistes et dessine les contours d'une dynastie de la betise et de la mediocrite. Sur un fil tragicomique, dans une langue vibrante aux accents corrosifs, Jerome Ferrari sonde la violence, saisit la douloureuse deception de n'etre que soi-meme et inaugure, avec la thematique du tourisme intensif, une reflexion nourrie sur l'alterite. Sur ce qui, des le premier pas pose sur le rivage, corrompt la terre et le coeur des hommes.

Little Women is one of the best-loved childrens stories of all time, based on the authors own youthful experiences. It describes the family of the four March sisters living in a small New England community. Meg, the eldest, is pretty and wishes to be a lady; Jo, at fifteen is ungainly and unconventional with an ambition to be an author; Beth is a delicate child of thirteen with a taste for music and Amy is a blonde beauty of twelve. The story of their domestic adventures, their attempts to increase the family income, their friendship with the neighbouring Laurence family, and their later love affairs remains as fresh and beguiling as ever. Soon after the success of Little Women, Louis May Alcott wrote a sequel called Good Wives. In the U.K. and around most of the world, this has continued to be published as a separate book, but many American editions have incorporated both books under the title of Little Women. Readers should note that our editions do not contain material from Good Wives unless specifically stated.

The Little Prince is a modern fable, and for readers far and wide both the title and the work have exerted a pull far in excess of the books brevity. Written and published first by Antoine de St-Exupery in 1943, only a year before his plane disappeared on a reconnaissance flight, it is one of the worlds most widely translated books, enjoyed by adults and children alike. In the meeting of the narrator who has ditched his plane in the Sahara desert, and the little prince, who has dropped there through time and space from his tiny asteroid, comes an intersection of two worlds, the one governed by the laws of nature, and the other determined only by the limits of imagination. The world of the imagination wins hands down, with the concerns of the adult world often shown to be lamentably silly as seen through the eyes of the little prince. While adult readers can find deep meanings in his various encounters, they can also be charmed back to childhood by this wise but innocent infant. This popular translation contains the authors own delightful illustrations, bringing to visual life the small being at the tales heart, and a world of fantasy far removed from any quotidian reality. It is also a sort of love story, in which two frail beings, the downed pilot and the wandering infant-prince who has left behind all he knows, share their short time together isolated from humanity and finding sustenance in each other. This is a book which creates a unique relationship with each reader, whether child or adult.

Based on Cartarescus own experience as a teacher, Solenoid submerges us in the mundane details of a diarists life and spirals into an existential account of history, philosophy and mathematics. Grounded in the reality of communist Romania, it grapples with frightening health care, the absurdities of the education system and the struggles of family life, while investigating other universes and forking paths.In a surreal journey like no other, we visit a tuberculosis preventorium, an anti-death protest movement, a society of dream investigators and a minuscule world of dust mites living on a microscope slide. Combining fiction with autobiography and history, Solenoid searches for escape routes through the alternate dimensions of life and art, as various monstrous realities erupt within the present.

Rhinocéros est la pièce la plus riche de Ionesco. Elle ne perd rien de l'esprit d'innovation, de provocation, des premières pièces. Comme elles, celle-ci mélange les genres et les tons, le comique et le tragique. Mais l'innovation principale qui s'introduit ici est la réflexion sur l'Histoire, à travers le mythe. La pièce est une condamnation de toute dictature (en 1958, on pense au stalinisme). Ionesco condamne autant le fascisme que le communisme. C'est donc une pièce engagée : « Je ne capitule pas », s'écrie le héros. Le rhinocéros incarne le fanatisme qui « défigure les gens, les déshumanise ». On sent l'influence de La Métamorphose de Kafka. Dans une petite ville, un rhinocéros fait irruption. Par rapport à lui, les personnages prennent diverses attitudes. Certains se transforment en rhinocéros ; un troupeau défile. Seul Bérenger résiste à la marée des bêtes féroces, symboles du totalitarisme.

Everybody who is anybody is seen at Gatsby's glittering parties. None of the socialites understand Gatsby. He seems to always be watching and waiting, though no one knows what for. But as the tragic story unfolds, Gatsby's destructive dreams and passions are revealed.

Arthur Miller's classic parable of mass hysteria draws a chilling parallel between the Salem witch-hunt of 1692 - 'one of the strangest and most awful chapters in human history' - and the McCarthyism which gripped America in the 1950s. The story of how the small community of Salem is stirred into madness by superstition, paranoia and malice, culminating in a violent climax, is a savage attack on the evils of mindless persecution and the terrifying power of false accusations.

My love for him felt so total and so annihilating that it was often impossible for me to see him clearly at all. Years ago, Sukie moved in with Nathan because her mother was dead and her father was difficult, and she had nowhere else to go. Now they are on the brink of the inevitable. Sally Rooney is one of the most acclaimed young talents of recent years. With her minute attention to the power dynamics in everyday speech, she builds up sexual tension and throws a deceptively low-key glance at love and death

DIE WINTERREISE UND DIE SCHONE MULLERIN

«Assez tôt, j'ai compris que je n'allais pas pouvoir faire grand-chose pour changer le monde. Je me suis alors promis de m'installer quelque temps, seul, dans une cabane. Dans les forêts de Sibérie. J'ai acquis une isba de bois, loin de tout, sur les bords du lac Baïkal. La, pendant six mois, a cinq jours de marche du premier village, perdu dans une nature démesurée, j'ai tâché de vivre dans la lenteur et la simplicité. Je crois y être parvenu. Deux chiens, un poêle a bois, une fenêtre ouverte sur un lac suffisent a l'existence. Et si la liberté consistait a posséder le temps ? Et si la richesse revenait a disposer de solitude, d'espace et de silence - toutes choses dont manqueront les générations futures ? Tant qu'il y aura des cabanes au fond des bois, rien ne sera tout a fait perdu.»
