A sumptuous treasury of original fairytales from the brothers Grimm, introduced by award-winning author Cornelia Funke and with full colour illustrations by artists Quentin Blake, Raymond Briggs, Axel Scheffler, Oliver Jeffers, Helen Oxenbury and Emma Chichester Clark celebrating the bicentenary of the first volume of Grimms' original fairytales. From the land of fantastical castles, vast lakes and deep forests, the Brothers Grimm collected a treasury of enchanting folk and fairy stories full of giants and dwarfs, witches and princesses, magical beasts and cunning children. From classics such as 'The Frog Prince' and 'Hansel and Grettel' to the delights of 'Ashputtel' - the original Cinderella - all hold a timeless magic which has enthralled children for generations. Illustrators Quentin Blake, Raymond Briggs, Axel Scheffler, Helen Oxenbury, and Oliver Jeffers have each chosen their personal favourite fairytale to illustrate, and their individual styles make this a unique treasury for all the family to share. Contains over 50 original fairytales, collected and written by Jacob Ludwig Carol Grimm (1785-1863) and Wilhelm Carl Grimm (1786-1859), universally known as 'the brothers Grimm'. Born in the German state of Hesse, their ambition was to collect traditional tales in order to preserve Germany's heritage. They published two volumes in 1812 and 1814 which include some of the best-known fairy tales of all time, such as 'Tom Thumb' and 'The Elves and the Shoemaker'. Grimms' original fairytales - some dark and scary, others light and fun - are the foundation of many favourite picture books today. This beautiful treasury is published to celebrate the bicentenary of the first volume of Grimms' original fairytales, and includes full page colour plates by today's top children's book illustrators.

In questo saggio molto personale, scritto con grande eloquenza - frutto dell'adattamento di una conferenza TEDx dal medesimo titolo di straordinario successo - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie offre ai lettori una definizione originale del femminismo per il XXI secolo. Attingendo in grande misura dalle proprie esperienze e riflessioni sull'attualità, Adichie presenta qui un'eccezionale indagine d'autore su ciò che significa essere una donna oggi, un appello di grande attualità sulle ragioni per cui dovremmo essere tutti femministi. In un contesto in cui il femminismo era considerato un ingombrante retaggio del secolo scorso, la posizione di Adichie ha cambiato i termini della questione. Alcuni brani della sua conferenza sono stati campionati da Beyoncé nel brano Flawless e hanno fatto il giro del mondo. La scritta FEMINIST a caratteri cubitali come sfondo della performance dell'artista agli Mtv Video Music Awards e il famoso discorso dell'attrice Emma Watson alle Nazioni Unite in cui si dichiara femminista sono segni evidenti del fatto che c'è un prima e un dopo Dovremmo essere tutti femministi. contributori TR Francesca Spinelli LE Marta De Lorenzis

Am 8. März 1886 bestellte Gottlieb Daimler bei der Wagenbaufabrik Wilhelm Wimpff & Sohn in Stuttgart eine Kutsche in der Ausführung "Americaine", angeblich zum bevorstehenden Geburtstag seiner Frau Emma, in Wahrheit jedoch, um sie als weiteren Versuchsträger mit einem Motor auszurüsten. Eingebaut wurde ein luftgekühlter stehender Einzylinder, der nach dem Vorbild der "Standuhr" ausgeführt war. Gegenüber dem Motor aus dem Reitwagen hatten Daimler und Maybach den Hubraum nahezu verdoppelt, und die Leistung konnte dementsprechend auf 1,1 PS gesteigert werden. Die Motorkutsche wurde im Jahre 1887 von Luft- auf Wasserkühlung umgerüstet. Zu diesem Zweck wurde ein großflächiger Lamellenkühler unterhalb der hinteren Sitzbank montiert. Daimlers Motorwagen war das erste vierrädrige Fahrzeug, das von einem schnellaufenden Verbrennungsmotor angetrieben wurde. Im Gegensatz zum Benz Patent-Motorwagen, der eine eigenständige ganzheitliche Konstruktion darstellte, war Daimlers erstes Automobil lediglich eine Kutsche ohne Deichsel mit der üblichen Drehschemel-Lenkung - eben eine Kutsche ohne Pferde. Daimler dachte zunächst nicht an eine Weiterentwicklung oder gar die Serienproduktion seines Motorwagens. Er hatte mit der Motorkutsche einmal mehr die Verwendungsmöglichkeiten seines Motors demonstriert und verfolgte auch weiterhin das Ziel, Motoren für alle denkbaren industriellen Einsatzmöglichkeiten zu produzieren Das Miniaturmodell der Daimler Motorkutsche ist in Originalfarben lackiert, aus Metallspritzguss designt und in höchster Detailtreue nach den original CAD-Daten umgesetzt. Dies spiegelt sich an sämtlichen hochwertigen Dekorationen in originalgetreuer Darstellung wieder. Das kleine Kunstwerk bereichert definitiv die Sammlung jedes Miniaturmodell-Liebhabers und wird in einer Mercedes-Benz Classic Verpackung geliefert. Baureihe: Daimler Motorkutsche (1886) Material: Metallspritzguss Maßstab: 1:18 handmontiertes Präzissionsmodell made for Mercedes-Benz by NorevHinweisNicht für Kinder unter 14 Jahren geeignet

ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS BOOKS AND WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE FOR LITERATURE _______________________________ 'Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice' Gabriel García Márquez's great masterpiece is the story of seven generations of the Buendía family and of Macondo, the town they built. Though little more than a settlement surrounded by mountains, Macondo has its wars and disasters, even its wonders and its miracles. A microcosm of Columbian life, its secrets lie hidden, encoded in a book, and only Aureliano Buendía can fathom its mysteries and reveal its shrouded destiny. Blending political reality with magic realism, fantasy and comic invention, One Hundred Years of Solitude is one of the most daringly original works of the twentieth century. _______________________________ 'As steamy, dense and sensual as the jungle that surrounds the surreal town of Macondo!' Oprah, Featured in Oprah's Book Club 'Should be required reading for the entire human race' The New York Times 'The book that sort of saved my life' Emma Thompson 'No lover of fiction can fail to respond to the grace of Márquez's writing' Sunday Telegraph

Im Zuge der sexuellen Revolution und dem Aufstieg der Frauenbewegung wurde das Tennismatch von 1973 zwischen der weltbesten Spielerin Billie Jean King (Emma Stone) und dem ehemaligen Herrenmeister und Serienbetrüger Bobby Riggs (Steve Carell) als der Kampf der Geschlechter angekündigt und entwickelte sich zu einem der meistgesehenen Sportereignisse im Fernsehen aller Zeiten, das weltweit 90 Millionen Zuschauer erreichte. Während die Rivalität zwischen King und Riggs intensiver wurde, kämpften beide abseits des Platzes mit persönlicheren und komplexeren Herausforderungen. Die äusserst private King setzte sich nicht nur für Gleichheit ein, sondern hatte auch Schwierigkeiten, ihre eigene Sexualität zu akzeptieren, während sich ihre Freundschaft mit Marilyn Barnett (Andrea Riseborough) entwickelte. In der Zwischenzeit kämpfte Riggs, einer der ersten selbstgemachten Prominenten der Medienära, mit seinen Glücksspiel-Dämonen, was auf Kosten seiner Familie und seiner Frau Priscilla (Elisabeth Shue) ging. Gemeinsam boten Billie und Bobby ein kulturelles Spektakel, das weit über den Tennisplatz hinaus hallte und Diskussionen in Schlafzimmern und Vorstandsetagen anregte, die bis heute nachwirken. Der Kampf der Geschlechter feierte im September 2017 Premiere und erhielt positive Kritiken von den Kritikern, die die Leistungen von Stone und Carell lobten, wobei einige es als die beste Leistung von Stones Karriere bezeichneten. Die Musik stammt von Nicholas Britell. Er wurde 2016 für den Academy Award für die beste Originalmusik und den Golden Globe Award für die beste Originalmusik für den Film Moonlight nominiert. Der Soundtrack enthält ebenfalls originale Songs, darunter Rocket Man von Elton John, What Is Life von George Harrison, Crimson and Clover von Tommy James & The Shondells und If I Dare von Sara Bareilles. LP 1 von Der Kampf der Geschlechter ist auf blauen Vinyl gepresst und LP 2 auf pinkem Vinyl. Diese limitierte Auflage von 500 einzeln nummerierten Exemplaren enthält ein 4-seitiges Booklet mit exklusiven Bildern und Liner Notes.

But could chasing a miracle cost her the future? A letter arrives at Alice's new house, interrupting her fresh start. It's addressed to her, but written by a man she's never met. And yet Michael understands her - her grief, her fears, even her dreams. As more letters follow, Alice becomes convinced that she and Michael are connected somehow - that they are meant to meet. Or perhaps, in some impossible way, they already have. But there's one complication: Michael isn't just a stranger - he's writing from four decades in the past. And as Alice searches for a man who may no longer be waiting, she must decide whether love can truly defy time - or whether she's risking the chance at happiness right in front of her.

Recipes featured in the book include: English Muffins, based on the muffins served with after-dinner tea in 'Pride and Prejudice'; Buttered Apple Tart as offered by Mr. Woodhouse to Miss Bates in 'Emma'; and Jumbles, inspired by the biscuits enjoyed by Fanny in 'Mansfield Park'. From Plum Cake and Gingerbread to Ratafia Cakes and Sally Lunns 'Tea with Jane Austen' has all the recipes you need to create the finest tea time treats, and the original recipes are given alongside, so you can compare them and appreciate modern time-savers such as icing sugar, dried yeast and electric mixers all the more!

*From the creator of SLOW HORSES and soon to be a major TV series starring Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson* 'If you haven't read Zoë Boehm yet, welcome to your next fiction addiction' Val McDermid, author of Past Lying 'Good characterisation, dialogue and a well-paced narrative make this confident first novel frighteningly plausible' Daily Telegraph It's an evening like any other when an explosion rips through the leafy Oxford suburb Sarah Tucker calls home. In the aftermath, a house now stands devastated, with two adults dead and a young girl missing. With the police more interested in keeping the neighbours from rubbernecking than in searching for the missing child, Sarah becomes obsessed with finding her. She enlists the help of Zoë Boehm's investigation agency, but Sarah's and Zoë's search reveals more secrets than answers, taking them from Oxford's cobbled streets to the rugged outer reaches of the British Isles. As Zoë and Sarah draw closer to the truth, they are caught in a web of conspiracy and come up against government forces, cold-blooded mercenaries and vengeful loners. Down Cemetery Road is Mick Herron's debut novel, and the first book in the Zoë Boehm series, now reissued in hardback to celebrate twenty-one years since its original publication.
