The Mitford Girls : The Biography of an Outrageous Family

Arnaldo Ageno — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 12:06:53 +0000

Even if the six daughters, born between 1904 and 1920, of the charming, eccentric David, Lord Redesdale and his wife Sydney had been quite ordinary women, the span of their lives – encompassing the most traumatic century in Britain’s history – and the status to which they were born, would have made their story a fascinating one. But Nancy, Pamela, Diana, Unity, Decca and Debo, ‘the mad, mad Mitfords’, were far from ordinary.

The Complete History of Middle-earth : Boxed Set

Arnaldo Ageno — Sun, 27 Apr 2025 12:59:44 +0000

The complete 12-book History of Middle-earth, printed in three volumes and set in a matching box. J.R.R. Tolkien is famous the world over for his unique literary creation, exemplified in The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion.

What is less well known, however, is that he also produced a vast amount of further material that greatly expands upon the mythology and numerous stories of Middle-earth, and which gives added life to the thousand-year war between the Elves and the evil spirit Morgoth, and his terrifying lieutenant, Sauron. It was to this enormous task of literary construction that his Tolkien’s youngest son and literary heir, Christopher, applied himself to produce the monumental and endlessly fascinating series of twelve books, The History of Middle-earth. This very special collector’s edition brings together all twelve books into three hardback volumes – over 5,000 pages of fascinating Tolkien material – and places them in one matching box.

Cœur brûle et autres romances

Arnaldo Ageno — Tue, 07 Apr 2020 17:36:06 +0000

«Il avait fait chaud cet été-là en Provence, une chaleur tyrannique, menaçante. Vers juillet, Pervenche est partie. Elle ne s’était même pas présentée au bac, à quoi bon ? Elle n’avait rien fait, elle savait bien qu’elle ne pouvait pas réussir. Toute l’année, elle avait traîné, surtout avec “Red” Laurent, dans les bistros, les boîtes, les fêtes, ou simplement dans la rue. Elle buvait des bières, elle fumait. L’après-midi, elle retrouvait Laurent devant le garage abandonné, au pied de la colline. Laurent soulevait le rideau de tôle, et ils se glissaient à l’intérieur. Ça sentait le cambouis, et une autre odeur plus piquante, comme de la paille, ou de l’herbe qui fermente. Ils faisaient l’amour par terre, sur une couverture.»

The Plague (La Peste)

Arnaldo Ageno — Mon, 30 Mar 2020 14:41:10 +0000

The Plague is Albert Camus’s world-renowned fable of fear and courage
The townspeople of Oran are in the grip of a deadly plague, which condemns its victims to a swift and horrifying death. Fear, isolation and claustrophobia follow as they are forced into quarantine. Each person responds in their own way to the lethal disease: some resign themselves to fate, some seek blame, and a few, like Dr Rieux, resist the terror.

An immediate triumph when it was published in 1947, The Plague is in part an allegory of France’s suffering under the Nazi occupation, and a story of bravery and determination against the precariousness of human existence.
