No other narrative account of Abraham Lincoln's life has inspired such widespread and lasting acclaim as Charnwood's Abraham Lincoln: A Biography. Written by a native of England and originally published in 1916, the biography is a rare blend of beautiful prose and profound historical insight. Charnwood's study of Lincoln's statesmanship introduced generations of Americans to the life and politics of Lincoln and the author's observations are so comprehensive and well-supported that any serious study of Lincoln must respond to his conclusions.

Oates discerns the historical truth from the mythical legend that surrounds Abraham Lincoln in this original and fascinating portrait of America's 16th president. "Stephen Oates recreates the life and world of Lincoln with the skill of a master painter".--Christian Science Monitor.

When Englishman Chris Broad landed in a rural village in northern Japan he wondered if he'd made a huge mistake. With no knowledge of the language and zero teaching experience, was he about to be the most quickly fired English teacher in Japan's history?Abroad in Japan charts a decade of living in a foreign land and the chaos and culture clash that came with it.Packed with hilarious and fascinating stories, this book seeks out to unravel one the world's most complex cultures.

With blockbuster moments such as a terrifying North Korean missile incident, a mortifying experience at a love hotel and a week spent with Japan's biggest movie star, Abroad in Japan is an extraordinary and informative journey through the Land of the Rising Sun.

Als Chris Broad völlig blauäugig einen Job als Hilfslehrer in der nordjapanischen Provinz annahm, fragte er sich, ob er nicht einen schrecklichen Fehler gemacht hatte. Weder sprach er ein Wort Japanisch, noch hatte er irgendwelche Erfahrungen im Unterrichten. Würde er als der am schnellsten gefeuerte Englischlehrer in die Geschichte Japans eingehen?In seinem Buch erzählt Chris Broad mit viel Witz darüber, wie er vor mehr als zehn Jahren direkt nach der Uni von Großbritannien nach Japan ausgewandert ist und was er seither im Alltag dort alles so erlebt hat - Culture Clash und viele skurrile Begebenheiten inklusive.Bald schon begann er Videos über sein Leben im Land der aufgehenden Sonne zu drehen und bereiste Japans 47 Präfekturen, von den üppigen Reisfeldern auf dem Land bis zu den neonbeleuchteten Straßen Tokios. Er erlebte einen erschreckenden nordkoreanischen Raketenzwischenfall, machte eine kränkende Erfahrung in einem Liebeshotel und verbrachte eine Woche mit Japans größtem Filmstar.Von all seinen großen und kleinen Erfahrungen in Japan berichtet er in seinem Buch, das in England sogleich auf den ersten Platz der Sunday-Times-Bestsellerliste stürmte.»Ein witziger Blick auf das Land des Karaoke, der Katzenfanatiker und der schokoladenüberzogenen Pommes.« The Times

The story of Thomas Sutpen, an enigmatic stranger who came to Jefferson in the early 1830s to wrest his mansion out of the muddy bottoms of the north Mississippi wilderness. He was a man, Faulkner said, "who wanted sons and the sons destroyed him."

First published in 1936, "Absalom, Absalom!" is Faulkner's ninth novel and one of his most admired. It is the story of Thomas Sutpen and his ruthless, single-minded attempt to forge a dynasty in Jefferson, Mississippi, in 1830. Although his grand design is ultimately destroyed by his own sons, a century later the figure of Sutpen continues to haunt young Quentin Compson, who is obsessed with his family legacy and that of the Old South. "Faulkner's novels have the quality of being lived, absorbed, remembered rather than merely observed," noted Malcolm Cowley. ""Absalom, Absalom!" is structurally the soundest of all the novels in the Yoknapatawpha series--and it gains power in retrospect." This edition follows the text of "Absalom, Absalom! "as corrected in 1986 under the direction of Noel Polk.

Quentin Compson and Shreve, his Harvard room-mate, are obsessed by the tragic rise and fall of Thomas Sutpen. As a poor white boy, Sutpen was turned away from a plantation owner's mansion by a negro butler. From then on, he was determined to force his way into the upper echelons of Southern society. His relentless will ensures his ambitions are soon realised; land, marriage, children. But in after the chaos of Civil War, secrets from his own past threaten to destroy everything he has worked for.

Bruce Wayne ne part de rien. Il n'est pas le descendant d'un riche empire de Gotham City, il est le fils d'un professeur d'école publique qui, enfant, a vécu l'horreur inimaginable d'une fusillade, changeant à jamais la trajectoire de sa vie. Sans ressources illimitées pour le financer, sans manoir ni majordome pour s'occuper de lui, Bruce est devenu un Batman d'un genre tout à fait différent, à la fois cérébral et ultra musclé, vivant dans les quartiers les plus difficiles et les plus défavorisés de Gotham, loin de la haute société. Et alors que le gang de Black Mask sème la terreur dans la ville, il n’hésitera pas à déchainer un torrent de violence contre ses adversaires pour que le message soit clair : il y a un nouveau Batman en ville.
