Anna Akhmatova is recognised as one of the greatest poets of Russian literature, an iconic figure who gave voice to the suffering of the Russian people during the brutal years of Stalin`s Terror. Akhmatova began writing at a time when "to think of a woman as a poet was absurd" but her genius soared above any such category. Hailed as a great beauty, she married three times yet her personal life was shot through with tragedy and her only son and third husband were held captive in the Gulags. Through illness, poverty and repression-she maintained her resistance to the regime, with a dignity and composure which led her to be dubbed "Anna of all the Russias".

Anne Shirley is an eleven-year-old orphan who has hung on determinedly to an optimistic spirit and a wildly creative imagination through her early deprivations. She erupts into the lives of aging brother and sister Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a girl instead of the boy they had sent for. Thus begins a story of transformation for all three; indeed the whole rural community of Avonlea comes under Anne`s influence in some way. We see her grow from a girl to a young woman of sixteen, making her mistakes, and not always learning from them. Intelligent, hot-headed as her own red hair, unwilling to take a moral truth as read until she works it out for herself, she must also face grief and loss and learn the true meaning of love. Part Tom...

Composer une nouvelle anthologie de la poesie francaise serait bien temeraire, si cette initiative n`avait ici pour fin d`offrir au plus grand nombre un durable viatique: pour les plus jeunes, un stimulant apercu du somptueux domaine qui les attend; pour les autres, un discret rappel des syllabes immortelles qui les ont enchantes. De ses origines medievales (Rutebeuf, Villon) jusqu`а la fin du xix siecle (Rimbaud, Laforgue), la poesie francaise est ici representee par "ces vers qui chantent dans la tete alors que la memoire est absente" (Verlaine).

Jules Verne (1828-1905) possessed that rare storyteller`s gift of being able to present the far-fetched and the downright unbelievable in such a way as effortlessly to inspire his reader`s allegiance and trust. This volume contains two of his best-loved yarns, chosen from among the sixty-four titles of "Les Voyages extraordinaires", Verne`s pioneering contribution to the canon of modern Science Fiction. "Around the World in Eighty Days" (1873) relates the hair-raising journey made as a wager by the Victorian gentleman Phileas Fogg, who succeeds - but only just! - in circling the globe within eighty days. The dour Fogg`s obsession with his timetable is complemented by the dynamism and versatility of his French manservant, Passepartout,...
