Story3
Dracula. A name of horror, depravity and the darkest sensuality. Yet the real Dracula was just as alluring, just as terrifying, his story not of a monster but of a man - and a contradiction. For the one they called 'The Devil's Son' was both tyrant and lawgiver, crusader and mass slaughterer, torturer and hero, lover and murderer. His tale is told by those who knew him best. The only woman he ever loved, who he must sacrifice. His closest comrade and traitor.

Story1
Cette biographie de la faim, de ce désir jamais rassasié, de cette quête qui n'a jamais de fin, Amélie Nothomb la décline sous toutes ses formes, du ravissement à l'horreur, avec brio, douleur, amour, humour et lucidité, pour dire ce terrible paradoxe d'exister. Il s'en dégage une puissance de vision, une perception fatale où l'absolu et sa dérision se côtoient. C'est une mise à nu éblouissante où l'auteur est le sujet de son œuvre et qui prouve ô combien qu'Amélie Nothomb est un de nos grands auteurs contemporains.

They have weathered high, snow-covered passes, ice chocked rivers, personal loss, and the worst of mankind’s deceptions to venture nearly five-hundred miles overland from the Pacific’s salt water to the Yukon frontier and the Klondike boom town of Dawson City. During this summer season of 1898, our favorite characters are part of the 30,000 souls that crushed in on the city, all with the intent on getting rich, either by digging in the mud for the ‘Flecks of Kings,’ or by mining the miners at a poker table, the supply store, and even in the bedroom.

Wer war Hanna? Diese Frau, die so oft aus der Rolle fiel, immer mit Gedichten im Kopf, über die sie den Haushalt vergaß, die ihren Platz suchte zwischen Familie, den Erwartungen an sie und dem Wunsch, Dichterin zu werden – und nur selten für sich sein konnte? Viele Jahre nach Hannas Tod blickt die Tochter zurück auf das Leben ihrer Mutter, auf die eigene Kindheit im Rheinland der Siebziger und Achtziger, in der Hanna dafür sorgt, dass der Alltag immer etwas anders ist als üblich. Ein Leben zwischen Bürgerlichkeit und Boheme.

Scritto nel 1953, "Plexus" è la seconda parte del trittico "La Crocifissione rosea", un'opera scritta da Miller negli anni che vanno dal 1949 al 1960. In questa opera autobiografica Miller racconta gli anni del suo soggiorno newyorkese e del suo incontro con la sua seconda futura moglie (nel romanzo tratteggiata con il nome di Mona). Tema costante nell'audiolibro è la vocazione artistica del giovane scrittore, che da Mona viene incoraggiato con forza a scrivere, inducendolo a rifiutare ogni impiego fisso.

Before Jane Austen, there was Fanny Burney. In the 1780s, she was England’s most celebrated female author, having achieved extraordinary success with two hit novels. She went on to become a royal servant, marry an exile from the French Revolution and undergo a gruelling mastectomy without the aid of anaesthetic – all events chronicled in her diaries, which were published posthumously to great acclaim. Contained here are dramatisations of her first and most famous novel, and her remarkable journals and letters.
