Heidi grandit
Heidi a retrouvé ses chères montagnes après un séjour à la ville. Mais là-bas, l’absence de la fillette a laissé un vide dans les cœurs, et tout particulièrement dans celui de Clara dont la santé périclite. Que faire pour aider la jaune malade ? Heidi a une idée : Clara pourrait peut-être la rejoindre sur l’alpage.
The Golden Egg
En Anglais – In The Golden Egg, as the first leaves of autumn begin to fall, Vice Questore Patta asks Brunetti to look into a minor shop-keeping violation committed by the mayor's future daughter-in-law. Brunetti has no interest in helping his boss amass political favors, but he has little choice but to comply. Then Brunetti's wife, Paola, comes to him with a request of her own. The mentally handicapped man who worked at their dry cleaner has just died of a sleeping pill overdose, and Paola loathes the idea that he lived and died without anyone noticing him, or helping him.Brunetti begins to investigate the death and is surprised when he finds nothing on the man: no birth certificate, no passport, no driver's license, no credit cards. As far as the Italian government is concerned, he never existed. Stranger still, the dead man's mother refuses to speak to the police, and assures Brunetti that her son's identification papers were stolen in a burglary.
Man vs Beast
En Anglais – CHERUB agents are all seventeen and under. They wear skate tees and hemp, and look like regular kids. But they're not. They are trained professionals who are sent out on missions to spy on terrorists and international drug dealers. CHERUB agents hack into computers, bug entire houses, and download crucial documents. It is a highly dangerous job. For their safety, these agents DO NOT EXIST. Mainstream animal protection groups have always stayed within the law, but a new band of radical liberationists argues that if humans and animals are equal, then it's right to kill or threaten one human in order to save the lives of many animals. In a new mission, James and the other CHERUB agents must go up against the most radical group yet in a daring and violent attempt to save hundreds of lives… including their own.
Après la pluie le beau temps
Sous ce proverbe qu’elle a choisi pour titre, la comtesse de Ségur nous fait connaître la belle histoire d’une pauvre orpheline élevée par un oncle injuste. Même lorsque Georges, son fils, a tort, c’est Geneviève, sa nièce, que celui-ci punit, et la générosité de Geneviève est telle que jamais elle ne dénonce son cousin. Mais, si l’oncle est aveugle, d’autres ne le sont pas et la pauvre orpheline se trouve d’amusants protecteurs : Ramoramor, un Noir, fidèle au souvenir de ses parents, et Mlle Primerose, une vieille cousine bavarde autant qu’agissante. C’est à eux deux qu’elle devra de voir enfin le bonheur éclairer sa vie qui semblait si bien promise à l’infortune. Après la pluie le beau temps.
