Book Description
This “PetitPudlo” is a guide to the best hotels, restaurants, cafes, and food shops in more than 150 cities, towns, and villages in the beautiful French provinces of Normandy and Brittany. Normandy, the site of the D-Day landing beaches, museum, and memorials, probably has more significance to American visitors than any other part of France. A milestone event of great Franco-American importance, the dedication on June 6, 2007, of the Normandy Cemetery Visitor Center on the sixty-third anniversary of the landings, ensures its continued popularity. Also home to legendary Mont-Saint-Michel, the Bayeux Tapestry, and Giverny (the home of Claude Monet), Normandy is the third most popular destination in France for Americans after Paris and Versailles. Brittany, next door, offers 800 miles of grand rocky coastline, fishing villages, and prehistoric menhirs. Gilles Pudlowski’s guide profiles hundreds of hotels and restaurants serving the fish, shellfish, duck, and famous cheeses for which this region is known, as well as its most charming cafes and typically Breton creperies. In addition, specialty gourmet stores that offer the bounty of these gastronomic provinces are listed for each town.

A Dangerous Fiction
Author: Barbara Rogan
Publisher: Penguin Group
ISBN: 0143125656
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
When a glamorous literary agent falls prey to a violent stalker, she discovers that the publishing biz can really be murder, for fans of The Spellman Files and Maisie Dobbs “Suspenseful . . . Barbara Rogan cleverly explores . . . our capacity for self-deception and weaves it into an absorbing mystery that keeps its secret until the very end.” —NPR Jo Donovan always manages to come out on top. Originally from the backwoods of Appalachia, she forged a hard path to elegant lunches and parties among New York City’s literati. At thirty-five, she’s the widow of the renowned novelist (and notorious playboy) Hugo Donovan, the owner of one of the best literary agencies in town, and is one of the most sought-after agents in the business. But all this is about to fall apart, as a would-be client turns stalker, a hack shops around a proposal for an unauthorized tell-all biography of Hugo, and a handsome old flame shows up without warning. Both a seasoned author and a former literary agent herself, Barbara Rogan knows the publishing world from all angles. Fans of Lisa Lutz and Jaqueline Winspear will adore Jo Donovan and Rogan’s wickedly sharp tale that skewers the dangerous fictions we read—and the dangerous fictions we tell ourselves.

Otters
Author: Hans Kruuk
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191513725
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
Otters are highly charismatic and popular animals of very considerable concern to conservationists worldwide. Written by the pre-eminent authority in the field, this book builds on the reputation of the author's landmark monograph of the European otter, Wild Otters (OUP, 1995). Furthermore, its broader scope to include all species of otter in North America as well as Europe and elsewhere leads to a deeper synthesis that greatly expands the book's overall relevance and potential readership. Aimed at naturalists, scientists and conservationists, its personal style and generously illustrated text will appeal to amateurs and professionals alike. It emphasises recent research and conservation management initiatives for all 13 species of otter worldwide, incorporates recent molecular research on taxonomy and population genetics, and discusses the wider implications of otter studies for ecology and conservation biology. As well as enchanting direct observations of the animals, there is guidance about how and where to watch and study them. From otters in the British and American lakes and rivers, to sea otters in the Pacific Ocean, giant otters in the Amazon and other species in Africa and Asia, this book provides an engaging approach to their fascinating existence, to the science needed to understand it, and to the very real threats to their survival.

The Abbess of Castro
Author: Stendhal
Publisher: Lindhardt og Ringhof
ISBN: 8726667983
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 121
Book Description
'The Abbess of Castro' is a novella by Stendhal which recounts the untimely tragic romance between the daughter of the wealthiest man in Lazio and a penniless gangster. It may be a tale of star-crossed lovers set in Italy, but this novella is so much more than an alternative Romeo and Juliet. Beneath the surface lies an eye-opening tale of political machinations that Machiavelli would be proud of, violent family feuds and swashbuckling adventures. Claimed to be translated from 16th Century manuscripts, 'The Abbess of Castro' packs an extra punch with its extremely unsympathetic view on warfare and an acute critique on ardent individuals undone by passion. Stendhal is widely regarded to be an eminent example of Romantic Realism throughout his work and directly influenced the world-famous Russian author Leo Tolstoy in his depictions of war, especially in Tolstoy's works 'Sevastopol Sketchers', 'The Invaders', 'The Cossacks' and 'Youth and Childhood'. Stendhal (1783-1842), the pseudonym of Marie-Henry Beyle, was a French writer. A pioneer of literary realism and master of the psychological portrayals of his characters, he is best known for his novels 'The Red and the Black' (1830) and 'The Charterhouse of Parma' (1839).
