In the fall of 1639, Roger Ludlow, a founder of the colony of Connecticut, led a small group of men and a large herd of cattle to the shore of Long Island Sound, where they established a settlement that became known as Fairfield. With this exciting new photographic history, the members of the Fairfield Historical Society have created a unique look back in time. More than 200 rare photographs in this book document the dramatic changes that have occurred in Fairfield's landscape and population during the last 130 years of its 350-year history. Agriculture dominated Fairfield's economy from its founding to the mid-nineteenth century. With the rise of neighboring Bridgeport as an industrial center in the 1860s to 1920s, laborers and business owners moved to Fairfield, and the once-rural landscape was transformed into suburban home lots. Today the town's population is a vibrant mix of commuters, local business people, and young families.
Orgueil et préjugés est le plus connu des six romans achevés de Jane Austen. Son histoire, sa question, est en apparence celle d'un mariage : l'héroïne, la vive et ironique Elizabeth Bennett qui n'est pas riche, aimera-t-elle le héros, le riche et orgueilleux Darcy ? Si oui, en sera-t-elle aimée ? Si oui, encore, l'épousera-t-elle ? Mais il apparaît clairement qu'il n'y a en fait qu'un héros qui est l'héroïne, et que c'est par elle, en elle et pour elle que tout se passe.
In the Atlantic Ocean, hurricane Helena is gathering strength, becoming the most powerful storm in recorded history. As Helena bears down on Bermuda, Donovan Nash, along with other members of the scientific research organization Eco-Watch, are called to fly in and extract key government people who have been studying Helena. For Donovan Nash, the routine mission turns deadly when an attempt is made on the life of the lead scientist. A woman from the past, Dr. Lauren McKenna, is suddenly thrust back into his life. With 300 mph winds and waves over 90 feet, Helena marches relentlessly for the vulnerable east coast of the United States. In a bold attempt to diffuse the power of the hurricane, Eco-Watch is called upon to conduct a final flight above the massive fury, where the jet suffers a catastrophic engine failure. Now the only option is to maneuver the crippled airplane into the calm of Helena's eye.

Lorsque Gregor Samsa s'éveilla un matin au sortir de rêves agités, il se retrouva dans son lit changé en un énorme cancrelat. Il était couché sur le dos, dur comme une carapace et, lorsqu'il levait un peut la tête, il découvrait un ventre brun, bombé, partagé par des indurations en forme d'arc, sur lequel la couverture avait de la peine à tenir et semblait à tout moment près de glisser. Ses nombreuses pattes pitoyablement minces quand on les comparait à l'ensemble de sa taille, papillotaient maladroitement devant ses yeux.

One of the most important works of twentieth-century American literature, Zora Neale Hurston's beloved 1937 classic, "Their Eyes Were Watching God," is an enduring Southern love story sparkling with wit, beauty, and heartfelt wisdom. Told in the captivating voice of a woman who refuses to live in sorrow, bitterness, fear, or foolish romantic dreams, it is the story of fair-skinned, fiercely independent Janie Crawford, and her evolving selfhood through three marriages and a life marked by poverty, trials, and purpose. A true literary wonder, Hurston's masterwork remains as relevant and affecting today as when it was first published -- perhaps the most widely read and highly regarded novel in the entire canon of African American literature.
