Les Poisons de la Couronne ressuscitent, presque jour par jour, les conflits, les intrigues, les haines et les crimes du règne de Louis X le Hutin, qui ne dura que dix-huit mois, mais dont les conséquences seront capitales pour la monarchie française. Lorsqu'il meurt empoisonné, en juin 1316, c'est la première fois depuis plus de trois siècles qu'un roi de France décède sans laisser un héritier mâle. Les "Rois maudits", célèbre fresque historique en sept volumes, font revivre le XIVe siècle, entre le procès des Templiers et les débuts de la guerre de Cent Ans.

Nepolapitelný, šarmantní a poněkud uličnický Arsène Lupin se setkává s legendárním logikem Sherlockem Holmesem. Střet a souboj dvou osobností spustí řetězec napínavých událostí, v nichž se zablýskne vzácný modrý diamant, ale nebude chybět ani pořádná dávka mužské cti, dámského půvabu, intrik a překvapivých a nápaditých zvratů. Lakonický a noblesní humor, který je pro postavu Arsèna Lupina příznačný, ještě vynikne v kontrastu s metodickým Holmesem a jeho železnou logikou a téměř zázračnou předvídavostí. Souboj dvou nejdůmyslnějších a nejkreativnějších mužů, kteří ačkoli každý na jiné straně zákona, zkříží samozřejmě zbraně podle pravidel dvorské etikety, může začít.

Z pszczołami ma się sprawa podobnie jak z wieloma rzeczami tego świata. Dostrzegamy różne fakty, śledzimy obyczaje, powiadamy: robią to a to, pracują w ten a ten sposób, królowa tak przychodzi na świat, robotnice są dziewicami, rój następuje w tym a tym czasie. Wydaje nam się, że poznaliśmy wszystko, i nie pytamy o więcej. Widzimy, jak śpieszą z kwiatu na kwiat, obserwujemy rozgwar i ruch ula, a egzystencję tę uważamy za bardzo prostą, wyznaczając jej granice od instynktownego szukania karmy do również instynktownego rozmnażania się.

Another action-packed mystery by Maurice LeBlanc! This story has to do with the final Will of a man named Mornington, who, in the year 1900, left behind the sum of $400 million francs. Of that, three-fourths went to his adopted country - which left $100 million francs to be distributed to his heirs. The executor of the estate was Mornington's friend, Don Luis Perenna (AKA Arsene Lupin). The problem, however, was that no one knew where (or even who) some of the heirs were. If no heirs were to be found within 3 months, the entire $100 million francs would go to Perenna.

"Jamais Marie-Ange et Jean-Noël, lorsqu'il fallut régler la succession de Mme de la Monnerie, ne se seraient attendus à voir surgir autant de gens dévoués, autant de parents éloignés et de vieux amis de la famille prêts à les secourir de leur aide et de leurs compétences ! Deux jeunes chevreuils se promenant en forêt et brusquement rembûchés, lancés, poursuivis, étouffés, déchirés par une meute, telle fut à peu près l'histoire de cette succession."

He is charged with multiple breaches of immigration law and detained pending a full jury trial.

A story of romance, humor, and true detective fiction, this novel begins with Arsène Lupin, a gentleman thief known for his strict moral code, forcing the French authorities to find an investigator who can put a stop to his dealings. In order to find a competitor keen enough, they must traverse the English Channel, where they find Herlock Sholmes and his assistant, Wilson - two of the most inquisitive and successful detectives in the world. Does Lupin stand a chance?

Dans cette aventure, Lupin affronte avec humour et brio le brillant détective Herlock Sholmès, un double bien réel et tout aussi brillant du célèbre détective anglais Sherlock Holmes. Herlock Sholmes est une copie transparente du héros de Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes, qui en 1906 avait déjà connu un très grand succès en France.

Maurice Riordan's keenly anticipated new collection continues his agile exploration of time, both in its depredations and rewards, while also bringing a sceptical, enquiring intelligence to bear on the anxieties and vanities of our age. Here we have disquieting songs of a mutable self; a projected online deathbed confession; the soul haranguing the body; while encounters with ghostly feet and tongues of fire consort with riffs on Baudelaire, Rilke and Old English. These poems pulse with mischief and macabre humour, making for a pungent and haunting listen.

"En voilà un qui aura tout pour être heureux, s'il sait s'en servir'', dit en se redressant Noël Schoudler. En homme qui connaissait le prix des choses, le géant calculait tout ce que l'enfant réunissait sur lui, ou réunirait un jour, tout ce qui se trouvait déjà dans le berceau : la banque, les sucreries, un grand journal quotidien, un titre du Saint Empire, la notoriété mondiale du poète et ses droits d'auteur, le château et les terres du vieil Urbain."
