« Ma conscience a mille langues, et chaque langue raconte une histoire, et chaque histoire me condamne comme scélérat. Le parjure, le parjure, au plus haut degré, le meurtre, le meurtre cruel, au plus atroce degré, tous les crimes, poussés au suprême degré, se pressent à la barre criant tous Coupable ! coupable ! » Ô roi criminel, maître des cruautés et des traîtrises, la démesure de ton ambition t'a fait commettre les pires violences. Souviens-toi de tes victimes, le roi Henry VI, Clarence, son frère, les deux jeunes innocents exécutés dans la tour de Londres, Buckingham et tant d'autres, crains leur vengeance, car après le crime vient le châtiment, Marguerite l'a prédit...

Designed to appeal to the book lover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautifully bound pocket-sized gift editions of much loved classic titles. Bound in real cloth, printed on high quality paper, and featuring ribbon markers and gilt edges, Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure. The Beautiful and Damned, F. Scott Fitzgerald's second novel, tells the story of Anthony Patch, a 1920s socialite and presumptive heir to a tycoon's fortune, the relationship with his wife Gloria, his service in the army, and alcoholism. Anthony and Gloria are young and gorgeous, rich and leisured and they dedicate their lives to the pursuit of happiness and we follow the intimate story of their marriage as it disintegrates under the weight of their expectations, fuelled by dissipation, jealousy and aimlessness. Fitzgerald skilfully portrays the Eastern elite as the Jazz Age begins its ascent, engulfing all classes into what will soon be known as Café Society. As with all of his other novels, it is a brilliant character study and is also an early account of the complexities of marriage and intimacy, largely based on Fitzgerald's relationship and marriage with Zelda Fitzgerald. With an afterword by Ned Halley.

Bound in real cloth, printed on high quality paper, and featuring ribbon markers and gilt edges, Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure. Tales of the Jazz Age features some of F. Scott Fitzgerald's best-loved short stories and 'novelettes' including 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' and 'The Diamond as Big as the Ritz'. Set in the Jazz Age, Fitzgerald's own term for the Roaring Twenties of newly confident, post-war America, this collection shows a comic genius at work, fashioning every genre from low farce to shrewd social insight, along with fantasy of extraordinary invention. These stories illuminate the unique talent who went on to write The Great Gatsby, and to become one of the enduring icons of American literature. With an afterword by Ned Halley.

Set just before World War I the story chronicles the tragedy of Edward Ashburnham, the soldier to whom the title refers, and his own seemingly perfect marriage and that of two American friends. The novel is told using a series of flashbacks in non-chronological order, a literary technique that formed part of the author's pioneering view of literary impressionism. Ford employs the device of the unreliable narrator to great effect as the main character gradually reveals a version of events that is quite different from what the introduction leads the reader to believe.

Antonio, un riche armateur de Venise, décide d'emprunter trois mille ducats à l'usurier juif Shylock afin d'aider son ami Bassanio à gagner Belmont où il espère faire la conquête de la belle et riche Portia. Comme les autres prétendants, il doit se soumettre à l'épreuve que le père disparu de la jeune femme a imaginée, et choisir entre trois coffrets, d'or, d'argent, et de plomb. Mais, au moment où il l'emporte sur ses rivaux, il apprend qu'Antonio vient d'être jeté en prison pour n'avoir pu rembourser sa dette à Shylock qui exige qu'en verni du contrat une livre de chair soit prélevée sur le corps de son débiteur. Publié en octobre 1600, Le Marchand de Venise entrecroise deux intrigues dont l'une met en scène, à Venise, le monde de l'argent et de la justice, tandis que l'autre, à Belmont, fait place à la musique et l'amour : une double comédie qui ne se referme pas sur une fin heureuse, mais laisse à leur mvstère les figures complexes du juif cruel, et cependant humain, et des chrétiens qui ont su en faire leur victime.

Là-dessus ils découvrirent trente ou quarante moulins à vent, et, dès que don Quichotte les vit, il dit à son écuyer : "La fortune conduit nos affaires mieux que nous n'eussions su désirer, car voilà, ami Sancho Pança, où se découvrent trente ou quelque peu plus de démesurés géants, avec lesquels je pense avoir combat et leur ôter la vie à tous. - Quels géants ? dit Sancho. - Ceux que tu vois là, répondit son maître, aux longs bras, et d'aucuns les ont quelquefois de deux lieues. - Regardez, monsieur, répondit Sancho, que ceux qui paraissent là ne sont pas des géants, mais des moulins à vent et ce qui semble des bras sont les ailes, lesquelles, tournées par le vent, font mouvoir la pierre du moulin. - Il paraît bien, répondit don Quichotte, que tu n'es pas fort versé en ce qui est des aventures : ce sont des géants, et, si tu as peur, ôte-toi de là et te mets en oraison, tandis que je vais entrer avec eux en une furieuse et inégale bataille." Et, disant cela, il donna des éperons à son cheval Rossinante. [Source : 4e de couv.]

This book contains more cocktails than any other - 1,500 of them, ranging from classic Martinis to unblushing modern concoctions such as Sex on the Beach. Recipes are user friendly, assembled on a 'unit' basis that clearly shows the proportions needed to make the perfect cocktail - without fuss. Ingredients and equipment are easy to acquire, techniques straightforward. Bewildering measures - 'jigger', 'half-gill' 3/4 fl oz - are avoided. There is much entertainment to be found in these pages too, with revealing anecdotes about many of the cocktails, and generous sprinklings of apposite quotations, risque jokes and little curiosities. The Ultimate Cocktail Book is more than a reference guide, it's a concocter's companion and a source of enlightenment. A volume tailor-made, in short, for good mixers.
