This collection brings together Jane Austen's earliest experiments in the art of fiction and novels that she left incomplete at the time of her premature death in 1817. Her fragmentary juvenilia show Austen developing her own sense of narrative form whilst parodying popular kinds of fiction of her day. Lady Susan is a wickedly funny epistolary novel about a captivating but unscrupulous widow seeking to snare husbands for her daughter and herself. The Watsons explores themes of family relationships, the marriage market, and attitudes to rank, which became the hallmarks of her major novels. In Sanditon, Austen exercises her acute powers of social observation in the setting of a newly fashionable seaside resort. These novels are here joined by shorter fictions that survive in Austen's manuscripts, including critically acclaimed works like Catharine, Love and Freindship [sic], and The History of England.

A qui Georges Duroy doit-il son irrésistible ascension ? Aux femmes séduites par sa jeunesse et sa beauté. La petite fille de l'une de ses maîtresses le surnommera Bel-Ami. Et ce fils d'aubergistes normands, a Canteleu, deviendra baron Du Roy de Cantel. L'amitié lui ouvrira la carriere journalistique. L'amour lui donnera l'argent et la gloire. Maupassant a été journaliste. Il a connu ce monde parisien du xixe siecle, les salles de rédaction qui font et défont les ministeres, et leurs annexes, les salons mondains ou naissent intrigues et liaisons. Ses portraits de femmes dévorées d'amour ou d'ambition, ses tableaux de la vallée de la Seine a Rouen, ses fiacres, avenue du Bois de Boulogne, sont oeuvre de peintre. Maupassant était un maître du récit.

JACQUES : Je ne sais si je la violai, mais je sais bien que je ne lui fis pas de mal, et qu'elle ne m'en fit point.

" A ce mot, je fais semblant de sortir du lit, et de m'avancer vers l'escalier. Elle me retint et me dit encore a l'oreille : " Je ne vous aurais jamais cru si méchant... mais du moins, promettez-moi, jurez-moi...- Quoi ?- Que Bigre n'en saura rien. "LE MAÎTRE : Tu promis, tu juras, et tout alla fort bien.JACQUES : Et puis tres bien encore.LE MAÎTRE : Et puis encore tres bien ?JACQUES : C'est précisément comme si vous y aviez été.

Sweden, winter, 1991. Inspector Kurt Wallander and his team receive an anonymous tip-off. A few days later a life raft is washed up on a beach. In it are two men, dressed in expensive suits, shot dead. The dead men were criminals, victims of what seems to have been a gangland hit. But what appears to be an open-and-shut case soon takes on a far more sinister aspect. Wallander travels across the Baltic Sea, to Riga in Latvia, where he is plunged into a frozen, alien world of police surveillance, scarcely veiled threats, and lies. Doomed always to be one step behind the shadowy figures he pursues, only Wallander's obstinate desire to see that justice is done brings the truth to light.

Lawrence Anthony's South African game reserve is home to many animals he has saved, from a remarkable herd of elephants to a badly behaved bushbaby called George. Described as 'the Indiana Jones of conservation', when one of his rhinos was brutally slaughtered for her horn, he didn't hesitate to lead an armed response against the poachers. Then he learned that there were only a handful of northern white rhinos left in the wild, living in an area of the Congo controlled by the infamous Lord's Resistance Army and soon to be hunted into extinction. Lawrence knew he had to take action. What followed was an extraordinary adventure, as he headed into the jungle to negotiate with the rebels, while battling to save his own animals from terrible drought and to save the eyesight of his beloved elephant matriarch Nana. The Last Rhinos is peopled with unforgettable characters, both human and animal, and is a sometimes funny, sometimes moving, always exciting read. 'Anthony was a charismatic figure whose life combined Gerald Durrell-esque animal antics with Wilbur Smith bush heroics ...a rattling read with an urgent message' BBC Wildlife Magazine

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938) gehört zu den bedeutendsten Künstlerpersönlichkeiten des 20. Jahrhunderts, viele seiner Werke sind zu Ikonen des Expressionismus geworden. Schwankend zwischen Selbstzweifel und Egozentrik schuf der Künstler mit großem Gespür für die Strömungen und Verwerfungen seiner Zeit ein unvergleichlich facettenreiches Werk.

The first sailors braved the North Sea and the Baltic in open wooden boats: their aims were varied - to fish, to trade, to conquer and plunder. Without maps or compasses, they steered by the sun or by landmarks on the coast. Nevertheless they discovered Iceland and North America and explored the rivers that flowed through Europe and Russia into the Black Sea. With the Frisians and the Vikings, extensive trade routes, better ships, larger harbours and wealthy coastal towns developed. The pinnacle of these advances was the Hansa, an association of port cities running from Bruges to Riga. In recent years archaeologists have discovered much about the development of their ships: the elegant Viking longboat, the ubiquitous cog, the carrack and the caravel. Much, too, has been revealed about life in Viking settlements and the bustling Hanseatic cities. In the first paperback edition of this engaging and highly-illustrated study, Dirk Meier brings to life the world of the medieval seaman, based on evidence from ship excavations and contemporary accounts of voyages.Dr Dirk Meier teaches ancient and medieval history and is Head of Coastal Archaeology at the Christian Albrechts University in Kiel, Germany.
