Gerard Schwarz takes you through the life of Anton Dvorak, a devoted Czech nationalist who, like other composers of the nineteenth century, brought national or ethnic pride into the concert hall by using their nation's folk music to evoke patriotic sentiments.

By the time Mozart turned 20 he was already one of the most skilled composers of his day. His output included not only symphonies and concertos but piano pieces, serenades, arias, operas, and smaller species of musical theater, songs, and church music. Symphony No. 40 in G Minor forms the centerpiece of the "final trilogy".

The music of Franz Schubert is cherished for its beautiful flow of melody; melody that runs through the composer's songs and instrumental compositions like a clear and inexhaustible stream. But Schubert was more than just a gifted melodist. He was also the creator of exquisite symphonies in the Classical tradition.

Here is a compelling tale sure to delight the most discerning reader of Victorian tales of terror and the supernatural.

Tout le monde l'utilise, tout le monde en parle, ses progrès font la une : mais qui sait vraiment ce qu'est l'informatique ?

C'est cela, l'informatique : une méthode systématique pour transformer un besoin en une suite d'opérations élémentaires.

The sun has descended below the far horizon. The inky blackness of night begins to envelop the land. Day has gone, and the nocturnal times reveal themselves. But above the dark blanket the moon, whether waxing or waning, stands sentry, and around it vast clouds and swirls of stars regiment themselves. We look up in awe and wonder, frail beneath their vista. Our gloried poets are on hand, though, to capture word and deed, emotion and feeling, friend and foe.

It is often said that two things are unavoidable: death and taxes.Certainly the latter is a common thorn in adult life, but as to the former it seems that for many people it is merely a hiccup in life’s eternal journey. A journey they wish, if being of good deed and character, to share at the eternity of heaven’s largesse, a reward for faith and the obligations of religion. Of course for those not so fortunate an altogether different experience was prepared for them: hell.

Victoria’s reign was long and presided over the restless expansion of the British Empire and reams of creative genius. Within these volumes we can bring only a glimpse of the richness, beauty and words of the poets and their musings on this remarkable age. Many are world-renowned - Tennyson, Browning, Arnold, Kipling, Austin, Hopkins, Hardy and Swinburne. Some are almost forgotten - Patmore, Newbolt, Synge. And some are barely noted - Lyall, Meynell and Merdeith. But together they encompass a great poetical age.

Private investigator Tom Collins is hired to protect a leading lady's reputation at all costs and is drawn into a case of scandal, forbidden passion, blackmail and cold-blooded murder.

February 1922. Hollywood is young but already mired in scandal. When a leading movie director is murdered, Irish American investigator Tom Collins is called in by studio boss Mack Sennett, whose troubled star, Mabel Normand, is rumoured to be involved. But Normand has gone missing. And, as Collins discovers, there's a growing list of suspects.

L'autoanalyse est née lorsque Freud a considéré les rêves comme des expressions humaines à part entière et mis au point une méthode pour les interpréter. Cette pratique n'est pas, pour autant, réservée au fondateur de la psychanalyse. Elle est accessible à tous ceux qui acceptent leur inconscient. Cependant, s'ouvrir à sa part irrationnelle nécessite rigueur et lucidité. Cet ouvrage nous explique comment instaurer ce dialogue entre nos parties les plus méconnues.

Inspiré par l’artiste antillaise Marie Martinez, surnommée la Malibran noire, le récit met en scène une narratrice universitaire qui fait des recherches sur ce personnage.
