When Brume's father hands her a secret spellbook, she tries out her wand and cauldron--and manages only to cover the whole village in fog!

Paperback. Zustand: Good. This classic book brings to life imperial Rome as it was during the second century A.D., the time of Trajan and Hadrian, Marcus Aurelius, and Commodus. It was a period marked by lavish displays of wealth, a dazzling cultural mix, and the advent of Christianity. The splendor and squalor of the city, the spectacles, and the day?s routines are reconstructed from an immense fund of archaeological evidence and from vivid descriptions by ancient poets, satirists, letter-writers, and novelists?from Petronius to Pliny the Younger. In a new Introduction, the eminent classicist Mary Beard appraises the book?s enduring?and sometimes surprising?influence and its value for general readers and students. She also provides an up-to-date bibliographic essay. ?Carcopino?s pledge to his readers was to open up to them some traces of the world that lay underneath the grandeur that remains the public face of ancient Rome. . . . No one has ever done it better.??Mary Beard, from the Introduction.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. From Goncourt Prize-winning author Jérôme Ferrari, a bewitching story of passion, death, and love, and a powerful reflection on the ambiguous relationship between art and reality Born in a small town in Corsican countryside, Antonia grows up in a place of deeply-rooted traditions and strong family ties. When she's fourteen, her uncle, a priest, gives her a camera--suddenly changing the way she looks at the world and igniting a passion that will prompt her to become a photojournalist. Over two decades later, Antonia is walking around the port of Calvi when she runs into Dragan, a soldier whom she had met when she was reporting on the war in the former Yugoslavia. The two spend the entire night in deep conversation, reminiscing about their experience of the conflict. Shortly after saying goodbye, as she drives home Antonia loses control of her car, plunges off a cliff and is killed instantly. Tasked with officiating his niece's funeral, Antonia's uncle is forced to reflect on her life and legacy, and on the profound questions they beg about ambition and doubt, passion and guilt, representation and reality. Wide in scope but rich in detail, restrained yet deeply moving, In His Own Image masterly weaves together the story of an individual life with universal themes that resonate across time and space. &nbsp.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The Strange follows an unnamed, undocumented immigrant who tries to forge a new life in a Western country where he doesn t speak the language. The story is deftly told through myriad viewpoints, as each narrator recounts a situation in which they crossed paths with the newly arrived foreigner. Many of the people he meets are suspicious of his unfamiliar background, or of the unusual language they do not understand. By employing this third-person narrative structure, Jerome Ruillier masterfully portrays the complex plight of immigrants and the vulnerability of being undocumented. The Strange shows one person s struggle to adapt while dealing with the often brutal and unforgiving attitudes of the employers, neighbors, and strangers who populate this new land. Ruillier employs a bold visual approach of colored pencil drawings complemented by a stark, limited palette of red, orange, and green backgrounds. Its beautiful simplicity represents the almost childlike hope and promise that is often associated with new beginnings. But as he implicitly suggests, it s a promise that can shatter at a moment s notice when the threat of being deported is a daily and terrifying reality.…
