Begraven dromen
En néerlandais – Dr. Victoria McClellan schrijft een biografie over het turbulente leven van de dichteres Lydia Brooke, vijf jaar na haar tragische zelfmoord. Naarmate Vic meer in de ban raakt van Lydia’s poëzie en leven, groeien haar twijfels over de toedracht van Lydia’s dood. Was het werkelijk zelfmoord? Vic besluit haar ex-man Duncan Kincaid, hoofdinspecteur bij Scotland Yard, om hulp te vragen. Kincaids adjudant en geliefde Gemma James ziet het hernieuwde contact tussen de ex-echtgenoten met gemengde gevoelens aan. Maar als Vic in groot gevaar blijkt te zijn, kan Gemma niet langer aan de zijlijn blijven staan.
La maison Tellier
Fermé pour cause de première communion : un tel avis, sur la porte d’une maison close, n’est pas chose courante, et les habitués de la maison Tellier, de Fécamp, n’en reviennent pas. Pendant ce temps, Madame et ses cinq pensionnaires vont retrouver à la campagne, le temps d’une fête, leurs émois et leur innocence de petites filles.
The political ideas of St Thomas Aquinas
En Anglais – St. Thomas Aquinas, the chief spokesman of medieval scholasticism, was born at Aquino, a tiny place near Naples and from the name of the place he received the title Aquinas. But he is better known as Thomas and his thought is known to us as Thomism. He belonged to an aristocratic Italian family which had connections with European kings and emperors. In order to be a church father and to devote his life to the cause of Christianity and study he surrendered his title “Count.” He joined the Dominican Order at the age of nineteen and for this purpose he had to fight his family. He studied in Naples, Cologne and Paris and in the last mentioned place he delivered several lectures on philosophy and theology. At the age of forty- eight he died.
The Supernaturalist
En Anglais – In the future, in a place called Satelite City, fourteen-year-old Cosmo Hill enters the world, unwanted by his parents. He's sent to the Clarissa Frayne Institute for Parentally Challenged Boys, Freight class. At Clarissa Frayne, the boys are put to work by the state, testing highly dangerous products. At the end of most days, they are covered with burns, bruises, and sores. Cosmo realizes that if he doesn't escape, he will die at this so-called orphanage. When the moment finally comes, Cosmo seizes his chance and breaks out with the help of the Supernaturalists, a motley crew of kids who all have the same special ability as Cosmo-they can see supernatural Parasites, creatures that feed on the life force of humans. The Supernaturalists patrol the city at night, hunting the Parasites in hopes of saving what's left of humanity in Satellite City. Or so they think.
