Until one day, against hospital rules, Dad brings Lucky into the hospital. Can Lucky bring Robbie back to life ?
Undermajordomo minor
En Anglais – Lucy Minor is the resident odd duck in the hamlet of Bury. He is a compulsive liar, a sickly weakling in a town famous for begetting brutish giants. Then Lucy accepts employment assisting the majordomo of the remote, foreboding Castle Von Aux. While tending to his new post as undermajordomo, he soon discovers the place harbours many dark secrets, not least of which is the whereabouts of the castle's master, Baron Von Aux. Thus begins a tale of polite theft, bitter heartbreak, domestic mystery, and cold-blooded murder. Undermajordomo Minor is an ink-black comedy of manners, an adventure, and a mystery, and a searing portrayal of rural Alpine bad behaviour, but above all it is a love story. And Lucy must be careful, for love is a violent thing.
Marie Antoinette
(Reliure toile ornée de l’éditeur) – Destin tragique de la reine Marie-Antoinette sous la plume d’un grand historien, spécialiste des grands personnages. Plus qu’une biographie, c’est l’ Histoire véridique, grâce à des documents inédits provenant des archives nationales. Constamment rééditée, la Marie-Antoinette d’André Castelot est non seulement le plus grand de ses innombrables succès, mais reste sans doute le best-seller des biographies, toutes époques et tous personnages confondus.Près d’un million d’exemplaires vendus en librairie, auxquels s’ajoute le succès stupéfiant de sa traduction américaine (450 000 exemplaires). On s’accorde pour estimer, malgré le temps qui passe et les nombreuses biographies parues depuis, que celle de Castelot » n’a pas pris une ride « .
