Shadow Of The Sphinx


The time has come for the final confrontation. Appointed supreme magistrate and first minister of Egypt, Pazair and his wife Neferet must join forces against the Finance Minister, Pazair's sworn enemy, now openly presenting himself as spokesman for the conspirators who plan to overthrow Ramses the Great in order to seize supreme power. The situation appears desperate. By undermining the economy, the conspirators threaten to destroy the values which presided over the birth of Egyptian civilisation. And allies are few and far between. Where is Pazair's blood brother Suti, who has escaped from his Nubian prison? After several fruitless attempts, will the mysterious "shadow-eater" succeed in eliminating Pazair? Who is the real leader of the conspirators, the one hiding in the shadows? And who will emerge victorious from this fierce battle, on which the survival of Egypt depends?

Kate Remembered


'For more than twenty years, Katharine Hepburn imparted many of the details of her life to me suggesting that I weave them into a book - one that would appear upon her death. Sad to say, the time has come to publish that book. But I find comfort in knowing she lived a very rich 96 years, and I have tried my best to honour her wish of making the book as true to her spirit as possible - as inspiring, as loving and as fun.' Scott Berg KATE REMEMBERED is a loving tribute and a tender farewell that reveals an unusual relationship in a unique life, one fully lived - and largely according to Katharine Hepburn's own rules. More importantly, it sets down many of the stories of that life as she saw them, full of sentiments she felt should not be made public until after her death. Ultimately, this book is not only a story of the poignant final twenty years in which Scott Berg knew Katharine Hepburn, but also a tale of a great theatrical personality and the better part of the century that was the stage for her distinguished life.

Broken Music: Memoirs


"I pore over Beatles albums with the same obsessive and forensic scrutiny that I'd applied to Rodgers and Hammerstein, only now I have a guitar. I have an instrument that can reproduce the practical magic of the chord structures and the network of ri ffs that their songs are built on. And what songs, one after the other, album after album. I learn to play them all, confident that if I persevere, what I can't play immediately will yield its secret eventually. I will reapply the needle of the recor d player again and again to the bars of music that seem beyond my analysis, like a safecracker picking a lock, until the prize is mine. No school subject ever occupies as much of my time or energy. I'm not claiming that any kind of prescience about t he future was at work here, but there was something in the driven and compulsive nature of this obsession that was unusual, something in the unconscious saying, 'This is how you escape.' 'This is how you escape.'"Upozornenie: Vzhľadom na častejšie ob meny vydaní tejto knihy v zahraničí, kus, ktorý vám zašleme, nemusí mať rovnakú obálku ako je zobrazená tu.

In Her Shoes


Rose Feller is thirty years old, a high-powered attorney, with a secret passion for romance novels, an exercise regime she's going to start next week, and dreams of a man who will slide off her glasses, gaze into her eyes, and tell her that she's beautiful. Meet Rose's sister Maggie. Twenty-eight years old, drop-dead gorgeous and only occasionally employed, Maggie is a backing singer in a band called Whiskered Biscuit. She dreams of fame and fortune -- and of getting her dowdy big sister to stick to a skin-care regime. These two women with nothing in common but a childhood tragedy, shared DNA, and the same size feet, are about to learn that their family is more different than they ever imagined, and that they're more alike than they'd ever believe. Funny and poignant, richly detailed and wrenchingly real, IN HER SHOES will speak to anyone who's endured the bonds of sisterhood, and to everyone who's dreamed of trying something else on for size.

Oú es-tu?


Dans Et si c'était vrai..., Marc Levy faisait vivre des fantômes , dans Où es-tu ?, les fantômes sont toujours là, mais ce sont ceux des rendez-vous manqués entre Philip et Susan. Ils ne faisaient qu'un, jusqu'à ce que Susan décide de s'engager dans une organisation humanitaire au Honduras, et que leurs vies se séparent. Pour toujours, ou presque : des lettres, quelques rencontres furtives à l'aéroport continueront à entretenir la flamme, vacillante, mais tenace. Aussi, quand on demande à Philip d'honorer une promesse qu'il a faite à Susan, il n'hésite pas une seconde. Et pourtant, quelle promesse... Encore une fois, Marc Levy nous offre un récit bien ficelé, facile à lire, et qui fonctionne. De l'amour, du suspense, des rebondissements : il y a tout... Alors, on lui reprochera sûrement d'appliquer toujours les mêmes vieilles recettes, mais après tout, tous n'ont pas son talent pour les rendre efficaces. L'auteur nous assure quelques bonnes heures de lecture, qui sont toujours bonnes à prendre, n'en déplaise aux esprits chagrins ! --Karla Manuele

Et si c´était vrai...


Lauren est dans le coma, c'est indéniable. Mais elle est aussi dans le placard d'Arthur, un peu comme un fantôme, cela est tout aussi indéniable... Arthur, en tout cas, est bien obligé de l'admettre : il la voit, l'entend, la comprend et finit même par l'aimer. Mais que peut-on espérer d'un fantôme que l'on est le seul à distinguer ? On ne tombe pas amoureux d'un mirage, on ne force pas son meilleur ami à dérober une ambulance pour kidnapper un corps dans le coma, on ne ment pas à la police pour sauver une ombre, et pourtant... Marc Lévy signe ici un premier roman particulièrement grisant, qui s'amuse du lecteur et de ses certitudes, toujours avec légèreté : comme Arthur, on se laisse prendre au jeu de Lauren, et comme lui, on finit par se dire, entre deux rebondissements : Et si c'était vrai.... Phénoménal succès de librairie dès sa sortie, ce roman trouvera bientôt une consécration sur grand écran puisque Steven Spielberg a décidé de porter cette invraisemblable histoire à l'écran. --Karla Manuele
