Book Description
Sur les rives d'un petit lac du Maine, Alicia et Six Godwin coulent une existence paisible, entre la librairie qu'ils ont créée et leur passion commune pour la pêche. Jusqu'au jour où ils décident de passer le week-end dans le luxueux lodge que leur richissime cousine, Iphigene Seldon, dirige d'une main de fer. Agée de 77 ans et dotée d'un caractère bien trempé, la vieille femme a justement convoqué ce même week-end ses nombreux héritiers pour leur annoncer qu'elle modifie son testament. Au lodge, l'atmosphère devient électrique. Et tandis qu'un orage d'une extrême violence se prépare, tous les membres de la famille se laissent envahir par des envies de meurtre. Débordant d'un humour féroce, Meurtres à Willow Pond combine intrigue sans failles et rythme haletant. Ned Crabb mène le lecteur en bateau jusqu'à la dernière page, à la manière d'une Agatha Christie qui aurait appris à pêcher à la mouche, un verre de bourbon à portée de main.

Book Description
A nineteenth century Spanish seamstress flees her village for Morocco in a novel with “a magical realist aspect . . . An epic sweep and a richness of characterization” (The Independent). They say Frasquita is a healer with occult powers; that perhaps she is even a sorceress. Indeed, she has a remarkable gift, one that has been passed down to the women in her family for generations. From mere rags, she can create gowns and other garments so magnificent, so alive, that they mask any defect or deformity. They bestow a blinding beauty on whoever wears them. But Frasquita’s gift makes others in her small Andalusian village jealous. And when her gambling husband brings misfortune on their family, Frasquita travels across southern Spain and into Africa with her five children in tow. Her exile becomes a quest for a better life, and a way to free her daughters from the fate of her family of sorcerers. “Like the beautiful frescoes of García Márquez, this novel is a marvelous and lyrical fairytale bursting with colorful characters” —La Revue Littéraire Des Copines

Book Description
The Mass Ornament today remains a refreshing tribute to popular culture, and its impressively interdisciplinary writings continue to shed light not only on Kracauer's later work but also on the ideas of the Frankfurt School, the genealogy of film theory and cultural studies, Weimar cultural politics, and, not least, the exigencies of intellectual exile.

Book Description
The world has changed radically since 1989, when the General Assembly declared the period from 1990 to 1999 as the United Nations Decade of International Law. During that time, the international community claimed some major achievements as reflected by the adoption of conventions and treaties. This publication presents a collection of essays from legal advisers of States and international organizations, all of whom are among those committed to promoting respect for international law. Their contribution provides a practical perspective on international law, viewed from the standpoint of those involved in its formation, application and administration.

Book Description
This book surveys the entire range of crime films, including important subgenres such as the gangster film, the private eye film, film noir, as well as the victim film, the erotic thriller, and the crime comedy. Focusing on ten films that span the range of the twentieth century, Thomas Leitch traces the transformation of the three leading figures that are common to all crime films: the criminal, the victim and the avenger. Analyzing how each of the subgenres establishes oppositions among its ritual antagonists, he shows how the distinctions among them become blurred throughout the course of the century. This blurring, Leitch maintains, reflects and fosters a deep social ambivalence towards crime and criminals, while the criminal, victim and avenger characters effectively map the shifting relations between subgenres, such as the erotic thriller and the police film, within the larger genre of crime film that informs them all.
