Àííîòàöèÿ: The middle sister in a famous artistic dynasty, Daphne du Maurier is one of the master storytellers of our time, author of —Rebecca—, —Jamaica Inn— and —My Cousin Rachel—, and short stories, —Don—t Look Now— and the terrifying —The Birds— among many. Her stories were made memorable by the iconic films they inspired, three of them classic Hitchcock chillers. But it was her sisters, writer Angela and artist Jeanne,who found the courage to defy the conventions that hampered Daphne—s emotional life. In this group biography they are considered side by side, as they were in life, three sisters who grew up during the 20th century in the glamorous hothouse of a theatrical family dominated by a charismatic and powerful father. This family dynamic reveals the hidden world of the three sisters — Piffy, Bird & Bing, as they were known to each other — full of social non-conformity, love, rivalry and compulsive make-believe, their lives as psychologically complex as a Daphne du Maurier novel.

Àííîòàöèÿ: A mundane life takes a strange and magical turn in this rich gothic fantasy told with vivid black-and-white art — a graphic novel perfect for a Halloween night. As he twists the key and slowly creeps into the grand mansion left to him in his father's will, Salem Brownstone has an eerie feeling that his world is about to change. First there's the appearance of a beguiling contortionist from Dr. Kinoshita's Circus of Unearthly Delights . . . then a crystal ball . . . then an attack by the sinister Shadow Boys. It seems the father that Salem never knew was actually a powerful magician, and the son has inherited his dark legacy — and an unfinished battle for life or death. With intriguing echoes of Tim Burton, Edward Gorey, H. P. Lovecraft, and Aubrey Beardsley, this album-format, beautifully cloth-bound graphic novel forges a mesmerizing style all its own.

Àííîòàöèÿ: All these stories were written this century, most very recently, by talented beginners or established authors as famous as Arthur C.Clarke, Elspeth Davie, Thomas Hinde and Colin Thubron. Set in every corner of the British Isles, as well as in Kashmir, the Australian outback and a French launderette, these miniature dramas tell of a romantic, if painful, encounter at a cycle race, an obsessive tourist guide, a convent with problems and a Trotskyist bookseller. Comic or sad, exciting or thoughtful, they are deeply revealing about today's Britain and,with notes explaining the obscure words and technical terms, make a highly entertaining anthology, ideal for the serious student of life in Britain today or for anyone who simply enjoys a good read
