As Jim digs deeper, he finds himself entangled in a dangerous web of deception orchestrated by the brilliant and ruthless Pepe Nero—and the equally cunning Angelina.

Jessica was eight years old, and she had a secret. It wasn't a normal secret, like the surprise birthday present you buy for your mum or the secret code word that gets you into the club that you and your friends made.

First published between 1870 and 1893, Émile Zola’s 20-book cycle chronicling four generations of the Rougon-Macquarts was a shocking exposé of the decadence, degradation and moral decay of 19th-century France. It included some of his greatest novels, among them his masterpiece, Germinal. These innovative, ambitious dramas, first broadcast on Radio 4 over 24 hours in 2015-16, are a radical reimagining of Zola’s classic series, introducing us to 104-year-old matriarch, Dide, imprisoned in an asylum in southern France.

But faith endures where tyranny overreaches, and the long arc of judgment begins to bend.

Told through the amused, watchful eye of a local narrator, Our New Neighbors at Ponkapog is a gently ironic portrait of curiosity, manners, and the subtle dramas that unfold when privacy meets polite scrutiny. As the young couple settles into their secluded life, questions arise—not dramatic ones, but the kind born of daily observation: Who are they? How do they live? And why do they remain so carefully out of reach?

Emily Dickinson was one of the most reclusive of all poets. She spent much of her life in seclusion in her father’s house in Amherst, and only a handful of her 1800 poems were published in her lifetime. Credit for the posthumous publication of her work must be given to her editor and friend Thomas W. Higginson, who reported that, in spite of the voluminous correspondence which passed between himself and Dickinson, he only met her twice in person.

This collection arguably contains some of the most charming lyrics ever written in English. Blake’s poems can be enjoyed, not only for their historical importance in an age which was fiercely proud of its genius and its traditions, but also for their simple and beautiful expression of “two contrary states of the human soul.” Songs of Innocence was originally a complete collection of twenty-three poems, first printed in 1789. In 1794, a composite collection entitled Songs of Innocence and of Experience, containing forty-seven poems, was published.

The thesis of this story is that “because of the development of scientific knowledge, separate sovereign states and separate sovereign empires are no longer possible in the world. To attempt to keep on with the old system is to heap disaster upon disaster for [hu]mankind and perhaps to destroy our race altogether. The remaining interest of this book now is the sustained validity of this thesis and the discussion of the possible ending of war on the earth.”

People often ask me, "How did Mrs. Duchesney become a famous Paris detective?"

For you see, she had never been what others in that part of the world might call "normal." When I came to Paris in search of Mrs. Duchesney, a person described to me as the legendary Paris Sleuth Extraordinaire, I did not imagine her to be the unassuming little woman seated alone on a bench in Parc Montsouris.
