The port of Marseille, in the twenties. Marius, César's son, owner of the Bar de la Marine, is torn between his love for Fanny, the little shellfish merchant, and his desire to take the rush, to travel the world... When Marcel Pagnol, in 1929, had Marius performed on a Parisian stage, he probably had no idea that his characters would become as famous as Harpagon or Monsieur Jourdain.
Two years later, Pagnol and Alexander Korda made a film out of it, Raimu, Charpin, Orane Demazis, Pierre… Read More

Set in Scotland during the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion, in the exotic French Indies, and in the North American wilderness, the story has as its hero one of the most compelling yet horrifying studies of evil in nineteenth-century fiction—James Durie, Master of Ballantrae. The Master is about his infective influence—on his younger, less attractive brother Henry; on Henry's wife Alison; and on those narrators whom Stevenson so skillfully employs to present their experiences of this charming, ruthless, and evil man.

By definition, a maverick is a "lone dissenter" who "takes an independent stand apart from his or her associates" or "a person pursuing rebellious, even potentially disruptive policies or ideas." The word maverick has evolved in the English language from being the term for an unbranded stray calf to a label given to a nontraditional person to a more extreme "uncontrollable individualist, iconoclast, unstable nonconformist." The word has grown into an adjective ("he made a maverick decision") and become a verb ( mavericking or mavericked ). Of all the words that originated in the Old West and survive to the… Read More

Johnson, the 36th President of the United States.
This book covers Johnson's life from 1941 to 1948, during which time he went from being a little-known congressman to a powerful figure in… Read More
