Korea has a long, riveting history—it is also a divided nation. South Korea is a vibrant democracy, the tenth largest economy, and is home to a world-renowned culture. North Korea is ruled by the most authoritarian regime in the world, a poor country in a rich region, and is best known for the cult of personality surrounding the ruling Kim family. But both Koreas share a unique common history. Victor Cha and Ramon Pacheco Pardo draw on decades of research to explore the history of modern Korea, from the late nineteenth century, Japanese occupation, and Cold War division to the present day.

Les Misérables is set in Paris after the French Revolution. In the sewers and backstreets, we encounter "the wolf-like tread of crime", and assassination for a few sous is all in a day's work. We weep with the unlucky and heart-broken Fantine, and we exult with the heroic revolutionaries of the barricades; but above all we thrill to the steadfast courage and nobility of soul of ex-convict Jean Valjean, always in danger from the relentless pursuit of the diabolical Inspector Javert.

Esotismo, avventura e terrore si amalgamano insieme a comporre un'avventura senza tempo. Pubblicato con lo pseudonimo Victoria Holt - quello normalmente usato da E. A. Hibbert per i romanzi a sfondo gotico - "Prigioniera del cuore" è un’entusiasmante miscela di tutti gli elementi più misteriosi, esotici e bizzarri che hanno decretato la fortuna letteraria del genere. La bella Rosetta Cranleigh, figlia di due egittologi, si imbarca per un viaggio avventuroso a fianco di un giovane archeologo, Lucas Lorimer, e del fuggitivo Simon Perrivale, accusato ingiustamente di omicidio.

Among the greats of 20th-century horror and fantasy, few names stand above Richard Matheson. Though known by many for novels like I Am Legend and his 16 Twilight Zone episodes, Matheson truly shines in his chilling, masterful short stories. Since his first story appeared in 1950, virtually every major writer of science fiction and fantasy has fallen under his influence, including Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, Peter Straub, and Joe Hill, as well as filmmakers like Stephen Spielberg and J. J. Abrams.

For high-powered personal injury attorney Noah Byron, the good things in life come with a price tag - cars, houses, women. That's why he represents only cases that come with the possibility of a nice cut of the action. But as a favor to his ex-wife, he meets with the mother of twelve-year-old Joel, a boy poisoned by tainted children's medicine. While the official story is that a psycho tampered with bottles, the boy's mother believes something much more sinister is at work...and the trail leads right back to the pharmaceutical company.

Is it right that, despite the promises of feminism, women's bodies remain at the mercy of state, society, and religion? Are being sexy and being smart really mutually exclusive? Can a woman be both body and brain? Victoria Bateman has confronted these questions with actions as well as words. She has appeared naked on national television, on stage, in art and at protests—using her body, as well as her brain, to deliver her message. In Naked Feminism, Bateman makes a compelling case for women's bodily freedom, and explains why the current puritanical revival is so dangerous for women.

Questo romanzo fu pubblicato nel 1869, e fu scritto da Hugo mentre era in esilio a Guernesy per ragioni politiche, tant'è che il titolo originario era "Per ordine del Re". Parti del romanzo descrivono l'opulenza e il parassitismo della nobiltà, in contrasto con la povertà in cui versa il popolo. Ma l'esempio di levatura morale offerto dalla povertà non lascia dubbi su chi siano quelli a cui si apriranno le porte del Cielo. Dal libro sono stati tratti vari film primo fra tutti il film muto di Pierre leni, del 1928, dalla cui colonna sonora è stata tratta la cornice musicale.

When she falls victim to the lies of the vengeful and lustful Archdeacon Claude Frollo, only Quasimodo can save her from the gallows. In sanctuary, looming high above Paris, their fates entwine.
