Описание: From legendary writer Edmund White, a bold and sweeping new novel that traces the extraordinary fates of twin sisters, one destined for Parisian nobility and the other for Catholic sainthood Yvette and Yvonne Crawford are twin sisters, born on a humble patch of East Texas prairie but bound for far grander fates. Just as an untold fortune of oil lies beneath their daddy's land, both girls harbour their own secrets and dreams -ones that will carry them far from Texas and from each other. As the decades unfold, Yvonne will ascend the highest ranks of Parisian society as Yvette gives herself to a lifetime of worship and service in the streets of Jerico, Colombia.

And yet, even as they remake themselves in their radically different lives, the twins find that the bonds of family and the past are unbreakable. Spanning the 1950s to the recent past, Edmund White's marvellous novel serves up an immensely pleasurable epic of two Texas women as their lives traverse varied worlds: the swaggering opulence of the Dallas nouveau riche, the airless pretention of the Paris gratin and the strict piety of a Colombian convent.

Описание: In this new translation the brilliant and impassioned descriptions of Augustine`s colourful early life are conveyed to the English reader with accuracy and art. Augustine tells of his wrestlings to master his sexual drive, his rare ascent from a humble Algerian farm to the edge of the corridors of high power at the imperial court of Milan, and his renunciation of secular ambition and marriage as he recovered the faith that his mother had taught him. It was in a Milan garden that Augustine finally achieved the act of will to Christian conversion, which he compared to a lazy man in bed finally deciding it is time to get up and face the day.

Описание: "He aqu mi secreto, que no puede ser m s simple: solo con el coraz n se puede ver bien; lo esencial es invisible a los ojos".

Autorretrato y obra testamentaria, f bula m tica y relato filos fico que interroga acerca de la relaci n del ser humano con su pr jimo y con el mundo, El Principito concentra, con maravillosa simplicidad, la larga y constante reflexi n de Saint-Exup ry sobre la amistad, el amor, la responsabilidad y el sentido de la vida, en un contexto marcado por el conflicto mundial y el desasosiego de un escritor piloto profundamente afectado por su soledad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The Little Prince is a classic tale of equal appeal to children and adults. On one level it is the story of an airman's discovery, in the desert, of a small boy from another planet - the Little Prince of the title - and his stories of intergalactic travel, while on the other hand it is a thought-provoking allegory of the human condition.

The Little Prince has been selected as a Common Core Text Exemplar (Grades 4-5, Stories).

Описание: Citadelle, œuvre posthume publiée en 1948, constitue la "somme" de Saint-Exupéry et rassemble les méditations de toute une vie. Michel Quesnel, avec Pierre Chevrier, avait établi le texte de la première publication. Dans cette nouvelle édition abrégée, il a réussi à distinguer et mettre en lumière les thèmes essentiels qui illustrent cet ouvrage et il nous livre les secrets, les modulations d'une pensée originale et poétique. Saint-Exupéry envisageait la traversée de Citadelle à la façon de ces promenades "dans une campagne étrangère" qu'il évoque au cours même du livre. "Et peu à peu au cours du long pèlerinage, tandis que mon cheval boitait dans les ornières, ou tirait les rênes pour brouter l'herbe rase le long des murs, me vint le sentiment que mon chemin dans ses inflexions subtiles et ses respects et ses loisirs, et son temps perdu comme par l'effet de quelques rites ou d'une antichambre de roi, dessinait le visage d'un prince, et que tous ceux qui l'empruntaient, secoués par leurs carrioles ou balancés par leurs ânes lents, étaient, sans le savoir, exercés à l'amour".

Thanks to its size and geographic position, Texas is home to nearly 30,000 species of insects, likely making its insect population the most diverse in the nation. Ranging from eastern and western to temperate and tropical species, this vast array of insects can be difficult to identify.

Containing 1,300 species and more than 2,700 photographs, this guide offers a wealth of information about the characteristics and behaviors of Texas's insects. Each chapter introduces an order with a discussion of general natural history and a description of other qualities helpful in distinguishing its various species, while every species' entry provides a state map showing where it is most likely to be found, a key displaying its seasonal distribution, information about its habitat, and corresponding photos. Featuring colored tabs for quick reference, a glossary, and information about other arthropods, this guide is the perfect companion for anyone wanting to identify and learn more about the many insects of Texas.

Описание: Il est inexplicable que nous soyons vivants. Je remonte, ma lampe électrique à la main, les traces de l'avion sur le sol. A deux cent cinquante mètres de son point d'arrêt nous retrouvons déjà des ferrailles tordues et des tôles dont, tout le long du parcours, il a éclaboussé le sable. Nous saurons, quand viendra le jour, que nous avons tamponné presque tangentiellement une pente douce au sommet d'un plateau désert.
