Quando, un venerdì di novembre, Skippy si accascia sul pavimento durante una gara a chi mangia più ciambelle, nessuno ci fa caso. Non ci fanno caso i compagni del Seabrook College che bullizzano Skippy da tempo. Eppure, il mistero della morte di Skippy e delle settimane che l'hanno precedute finirà per scombinare l'esistenza dei ragazzi e dell'intera comunità della scuola. Dal preside, soprannominato l'«Automa», ai genitori e ai professori, evidentemente troppo distratti da tresche e disillusioni personali per accorgersi che qualcosa, nella vita di Skippy, proprio non quadrava.

Isak, a strong, stoical ‘tiller of the ground, body and soul’, makes his way into the Norwegian hinterlands and settles on an area of land that suits him, unaware that it belongs to the state. He fashions the land into a farm, named ‘Sellanraa’ by the enigmatic Lensmand Geissler, and builds a life for himself with his wife, Inger, and their children. Together they endure the seasons and the encroachment of industrialisation as they cultivate the land and make it fertile, proving that fulfilment lies with the soil.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. These deceptively simple lines from the title poem of this collection suggest Robert Frost at his most representative: the language is simple, clear and colloquial, yet dense with meaning and wider significance. Drawing upon everyday incidents, common situations and rural imagery, Frost fashioned poetry of great lyrical beauty and potent symbolism. Now a selection of the best of his early works is available in this volume, originally published in 1916 under the title Mountain Interval.

With one impatient phone call, a young Christopher Isherwood is drawn into the film industry. On the other end of the line is the brilliant yet temperamental Austrian director Friedrich Bergmann. Christopher’s job is to rescue the script of a saccharine love story set in nineteenth-century Vienna, a film called Prater Violet. Meanwhile, in the real Vienna of 1934, the Austrian right crushes a socialist uprising. Bergmann is distraught; his family is in danger in Vienna, while his prophecy of a coming war goes unheeded by his British colleagues.

In the industrial heart of Victorian England–now Stoke-on-Trent–lonely Anna Tellwright is dominated by her miserly, bullying father and the strict Methodist community of Bursley. Inheriting a fortune does not free her from subjugation: every direction has an obstacle and Anna must choose between the ambitious Henry Mynors (duty) and the sensitive Willie Price (desire). Will she break free from society’s expectations or succumb to the life laid out for her? Bennett’s depiction of the Potteries brings to life a world of social pressures, moral dilemmas, and the struggle for personal freedom.

Diving back to bits of her past, A Sweet Embrace looks at aspects from Francesca's past, both childhood and some more recent events. Again also delving into the political sphere, A Sweet Embrace takes on a subject that is unfortunately common place in the United States, and less so in the rest of the world, Mass Shootings. Having examined the statistics between the 6 nations to have had a Mass Shooting in 2025, and for the majority of those 6 looking back at the past 30 years, and one only looking back a dozen, Francesca paints a stark reminder that gun control works to curb mass violence.

A House to Let is a short story originally published in 1858 in the Christmas edition of Dickens' Household Words magazine. Each of the contributors wrote a chapter (stories within a story, or, in the case of Adelaide Anne Procter, poetry) and the story was edited by Dickens, who also wrote the first and last chapters with Wilkie Collins.

The play is significant for the way it deals with the fate of a married woman, who at the time in Norway lacked reasonable opportunities for self-fulfillment in a male-dominated world, despite the fact that Ibsen denied it was his intent to write a feminist play. It aroused a great sensation at the time and caused a "storm of outraged controversy" that went beyond the theatre to the world of newspapers and society.

Ne vous méprenez pas ! Passés composés n’est pas le titre d’une grammaire ni d’un outil de conjugaison, mais celui d’un recueil de nouvelles. Treize personnages ayant marqué, chacun à sa manière, la grande ou la petite histoire du Québec y sont présentés, à la fois par l’entremise de la fiction, puis dans de courtes biographies.
