The past contemporary poet gives an account in 88 poems in letter form of hisromance and the life spent with Sylvia Plath.
11-year old heroes, Cass and Max- Ernest have been handed a mysterious box of vials called the Symphony of Smells which sends them on the trail of a magician who has vanished under strange (and stinky) circumstances. The name of this book is based on a very dangerous secret - the formula for immortality or eternal youth.
Beware Dangerous secrets lie between the pages of this book. OK, I warned you. But if you think I'll give anything away, or tell you that this is the sequel to my first literary endeavor, The Name of This Book is Secret, you're wrong. I'm not going to remind you of how we last left our heroes, Cass and Max-Ernest, as they awaited intiation into the mysterious Terces Society, or the ongoing fight against the evil Dr. L and Ms. Mauvais. I certainly won't be telling you about how the kids stumble upon the Museum of Magic, where they finally meet the amazing Pietro Oh, blast I've done it again. Well, at least I didn't tell you about the missing Sound Prism, the nefarious Lord Pharaoh, or the mysterious creature born in a bottle over 500 years ago, the key to the biggest secret of all. I really can't help myself, now can I? Let's face it - if you're reading this, it's too late.
With playful wit, worldly advice and savvy observation, the bestselling authors of How to Be Parisian tackle the Parisian art of growing up. Caroline de Maigret and Sophie Mas are back to amuse you, saying what you don't expect to hear, just the way you want to hear it. But this time they reveal how they are modifying their favourite bad girl habits and mischievous mindsets now they are more 'madame' than 'mademoiselle'. These iconoclastic, bohemian Parisiennes advise on love, seduction, fashion and dating as well as family, work, living alone and accepting imperfections. Both poignant and laugh-out-loud funny, this gorgeous, tongue-in-cheek guide astutely illuminates what it means to be a fully-fledged woman.

O lásce, imagi, škole a hlavně o tom, jak zvládnout život a být v pohodě
O lásce, image, škole a hlavně o tom, jak zvládnout život v pohodě. Můžů přežít jenom na pizze? Je opravdu nutné se holit? Můžu se oblékat, jak chci? Čtivý, vtipný a neotřele ilustrovaný průvodce životem pro dospívající dívky je výjimečný v mnoha ohledech. Christina De Witteová sama teprve nedávno oslavila dvacáté narozeniny, takže si ještě velmi dobře pamatuje, jak může být dospívání náročné. Proto jsou její rady a doporučení konkrétní, srozumitelné a praxí prověřené – autorka dobře ví, o čem mluví, protože si vše prožila na vlastní kůži – a navíc to není tak dávno. Ve své knize se věnuje všemu podstatnému, co dnešní dospívající dívky tolik řeší – od závažných témat, jako jsou přátelství, láska, vztahy v rodině, genderové otázky, šikana ve všech podobách či tlak vrstevníků i rodiny, až po aktuální otázky spojené s životním stylem a image. Christina a její komiksové alter ego Chrostin zdůrazňují, že není třeba podléhat nerealistickým společenským normám týkajících se ženské krásy, a podněcují mladé čtenářky, aby rozvíjely svou jedinečnost a sebevědomou osobitost.
In his final novel, which he considered his most important, Aldous Huxley transports us to the remote Pacific island of Pala, where an ideal society has flourished for 120 years. Inevitably, this island of bliss attracts the envy and enmity of the surrounding world. A conspiracy is underway to take over Pala, and events are set in motion when an agent of the conspirators, a newspaperman named Faranby, is shipwrecked there. What Faranby doesn't expect is how his time with the people of Pala will revolutionize all his values and—to his amazement—give him hope.
