Àííîòàöèÿ: La Signora di un borgo in bilico tra Liguria e Piemonte organizza un convegno sulle fiabe nella sua villa. Per Penelope Poirot e un gradito diversivo dalle incombenze imposte da tanto cognome. Per Velma Hamilton, la sua segretaria, e un rischiosissimo tuffo nel passato: la villa e a Corterossa, paese dei suoi nonni italiani, meta di tutte le estati della sua infanzia. E pericoloso svegliare i ricordi. Tornare sulle rive del lago dove Velma, un tempo, attendeva le fate. Ora si festeggia sull'acqua, tra profumi di griglie, e spari dal bosco accolgono il crepuscolo. Ma proprio sul piu bello, quando si vorrebbe lasciarsi andare, c'e una testa che cade. Con il sangue che le scorre nelle vene, Penelope Poirot scopre in fretta che erano in tanti a detestare la vittima. Il cavalier servente, la dottoranda mascolina, il Cristo boscaiolo... insomma, tutti coloro che ruotano intorno alla villa; ma anche Velma? Si, anche Velma. Sola contro tutti, Penelope Poirot segue accuratamente ogni pista, fino al disvelamento finale, in riva al lago, nell'ora blu. Se le chiedi cosa fa, Becky Sharp ti dira di essere un'avventuriera della parola scritta e vantera le sue prodezze da redattrice, copy e traduttrice. Millantera nobili natali nel regno della filosofia e della critica letteraria. Non paga, insinuera di essere scrittrice, misteriosa e altresi tradotta oltralpe. In realta si sospetta che si dedichi ad attivita sedentarie e che nei libri, soprattutto, si nasconda.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Tom Sharpe's indefatigable hero is pitted against the vices of an aristocratic pervert, the merciless greed of a politicians wife and the seedy underbelly of Britain's medical facilities, deftly exposing the farcical realities of small-town England and America.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Henry Wilt is still teaching at the Fenland Tech, attempting to drill English into plasterers, dozing through tedious committee meetings and occasionally getting mildly plastered in 'The Pig in a Poke' with one of his few bearable colleagues. But the even tenor of his days is rudely interrupted when the shadow of drug dealing flickers across the Tech. Suddenly Wilt becomes the target of suspicion. His colleagues believe him to be responsible for triggering a departmental inquiry, and his old adversary Inspector Flint, knowing that he's guilty of something, sees a chance to settle a number of scores.

Àííîòàöèÿ: A novel which continues the saga of Henry Wilt, an innate coward and hen-pecked husband whose escapades include a drunken (and very painful) battle with a rosebush, an all-consuming infatuation with an overseas student, and becoming an unwilling participant in an armed siege. From the author of RIOTOUS ASSEMBLY and GRANTCHESTER GRIND.

Àííîòàöèÿ: It's crisis time again at Porterhouse. Skullion is showing signs of frailty and the tricky task of appointing a new Master has to begin once more. Meanwhile, the college's monstrous debts refuse to go away and a sinister American seems determined to make a film on the premises.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Peregrine Roderick Clyde-Brown, a bumbling British public schoolboy, has a penchant for taking the most innocent commands literally. His adventures whisk him to a French castle, where he commits murder and mayhem. British humor is rarely captured as effectively as this. Fry accomplishes an incredible range of accents and distinctions of age, occupation and sex. If hearing an imitation of a man with a missing lower denture tickles you, then Vintage Stuff is right up your alley.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Shows how young people are responding differently to social, economic, and cultural transformations. By developing a brand of spatial cultural studies, this book explores complex formations of race and class as they arise in the subtle textures of whiteness, respectability, and youth subjectivity. Henry Wilt has for ten years been trying to teach English literature to his students at the Fenland College of Arts and Technology. He has become bored, frustrated and possibly murdereous, so Chief Inspector Flint suspects the worst when Henry`s wife Eva goes missing. From the author of GRANTCHESTER GRIND.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Qui est cette "ombre", ce sosie de Julius Baroncourt, qui le precede en tout lieu et parvient meme a deviner ses moindres pensees?... Une mauvaise plaisanterie? Un phenomene surnaturel? Non! Un double crime est commis. Sherlock Holmes se lance a la poursuite du coupable.
