Toate acele lucruri pe care nu ni le-am spus
￥73.49
Cu doar c?teva zile ?nainte de nunt?, Julia prime?te un telefon de la secretarul tat?lui s?u. A?a cum intuia, Anthony Walsh — om de afaceri str?lucit, dar tat? distant — nu va putea veni la ceremonie. Nu e prima oar? c?nd Anthony Walsh dispare brusc din via?a ei, bulvers?nd?o cu totul. De data aceasta ?ns?, Julia trebuie s? admit? c? scuza este imbatabil?: tat?l s?u a murit! A doua zi dup? ?nmorm?ntare, Julia descoper? ?ns? c? tat?l s?u ?i rezervase o alt? surpriz?. Cea mai neobi?nuit? c?l?torie din via?a ei... ?i ocazia de a??i spune, ?n sf?r?it, lucruri pe care nu ?i le?au spus niciodat?. Reg?sim ?n aceast? poveste atmosfera ?nc?rcat? de romantism ?i fantastic din ?i dac? e adev?rat, romanul care l-a f?cut celebru pe Marc Levy. Pentru cititorii francezi, Marc Levy ?ntruchipeaz? un destin de basm: ajuns t?rziu la literatur?, acest autor, pe c?t de discret, pe at?t de melancolic, s?a impus ?nc? din momentul ?n care primul s?u manuscris a ?nc?put pe m?na editorului, scenariul corespunz?tor fiind imediat cump?rat de compania de film a lui Steven Spielberg. Ast?zi, el a devenit la noi scriitorul cel mai popular. Secretul s?u? Un adev?rat sim? al povestirii, o extraordinar? capacitate de a capta mitologia timpurilor noastre, un romantism inalterabil care pune mai presus de orice o scriitur? eficace, foarte american?, ce merge direct la scop. Miracolele nu se explic?, se constat?. – Pascal Bruckner ?... un amestec de m?iestrie ?i suspans, ce te poart? cu precizie infailibil? ?ntr-o lume ?n care visele tale devin realitate.“ Le Parisien
Odd Laws
￥31.59
‘One for the road’ always seemed to be such a friendly farewell, at least before the drink driving laws were enforced. In fact, the phrase has a much more sinister meaning, originating from the days of public hangings. When a condemned prisoner left Newgate Prison on his way to the gibbet, he would be put on a cart which would stop at every pub along the route. Each publican would give the prisoner a free drink – One for the Road. Usually by the time the gibbet and the hangman came into view, the condemned man was far too drunk to care about his fate.

The Broads (Collins New Naturalist Library, Book 46)
￥476.96
The broads are shallow, reed-fringed lakes associated with rivers that wind slowly through the lowlands of east Norfolk and neighbouring Suffolk to flow into the North Sea through a common harbour at Great Yarmouth. Their waters are often ruffled by sea breezes and salt tides affect them from time to time; indeed, but for coast defences, they and many thousands of acres of adjacent marshes would be at the mercy of regular sea flooding. It used to be thought that they were relict pools of an estuary clogged by centuries of silting and reclaimed by the spread of marsh vegetation; but the recent researches of Dr. J. M. Lambert and her associates have proved (seechapter 3) that although estuarine conditions have prevailed temporarily in the lower parts of the east Norfolk river valleys on more than one occasion in the past, the broads originated comparatively recently as peat-pits, flooded and linked by artificial channels with the rivers, as the general water-level rose in late historic times.

Great Sporting Wisdom: Legendary Quotes from the World of Sport
￥30.61
In 1906 Ambrose Bierce defined quotation as ‘the act of repeating erroneously the words of another. The words erroneously repeated.’ Down through history much has been said and written about the people and events that have shaped the sporting world. This book assembles some of the most commonly misquoted and misattributed of those sporting quotations.Humour is a difficult thing to define. What reduces one person to helpless laughter may leave another indifferent. And what makes a funny quote? The context can be crucial.In normal circumstances the following would not be of great interest: ‘Sharp are currently working on bringing 3D TV into your living-rooms. Mr Koshima hopes it will be so realistic that viewers will have to duck when Eric Cantona takes a shot.’

A Right Ambition (Text Only)
￥66.61
The origins of this book lie in its predecessor, Heroes and Contemporaries, published by my good friends at Collins in 1983. It was then felt that these present memoirs and observations would represent an interim collection of writings before I embark upon the story of my complete cricketing career.There is such intense interest in the lives and performances of public figures that one would need to be a recluse of hermit-like proclivity to avoid revealing personal details, opinions and beliefs. The trick is to try to satisfy that interest without leaving oneself entirely naked and I have not, as far as I know, committed myself in this book on race, religion, sex, politics or on the cricket correspondents of popular newspapers. A Right Ambition starts where every book on cricket should begin, with a small boy’s wish to wield a bat. It ends, like all good fairy stories, with that small boy having grown up to join an England team which won back the Ashes from Australia and with his joy and delight at having been able to play the game in so many wonderful places and to have made so many lasting friends.
