    • "Je m'appelle Jean Valjean. Je suis un galérien. J'ai passé dix-neuf ans au bagne. Je suis libéré depuis quatre jours et en route pour Pontarlier qui est ma destination. Quatre jours que je marche depuis Toulon. Aujourd'hui j'ai fait douze lieues à pied. Ce soir en arrivant dans ce pays, j'ai été dans une auberge, on m'a renvoyé à cause de mon passeport jaune que j'avais montré à la mairie. J'ai été à une autre auberge. On m'a dit: - Va-t'en! Chez l'un, chez l'autre. Personne n'a voulu de moi. J'ai été à la prison, le guichetier ne m'a pas ouvert. J'ai été dans la niche d'un chien. Ce chien m'a mordu et m'a chassé, comme s'il avait été un homme. On aurait dit qu'il savait qui j'étais. Je m'en suis allé dans les champs pour coucher à la belle étoile. Il n'y avait pas d'étoiles. J'ai pensé qu'il pleuvrait, et qu'il n'y avait pas de bon Dieu pour empêcher de pleuvoir, et je suis rentré dans la ville pour y trouver le renfoncement d'une porte. Là, dans la place, j'allais me coucher sur une pierre, une bonne femme m'a montré votre maison et m'a dit : - Frappe là. J'ai frappé. Qu'est-ce que c'est ici? êtes-vous une auberge ? J'ai de l'argent, ma masse. Cent neuf francs quinze sous que j'ai gagnés au bagne par mon travail en dix-neuf ans. Je paierai. Je suis très fatigué, j'ai bien faim. Voulez-vous que je reste ? - Madame Magloire, dit l'évêque, vous mettrez un couvert de plus".

    • "Soap Suds Row explores the history of United States Army Laundresses. These women were sanctioned and paid by the United States Army to wash the clothes of the soldiers from 1802-1876. The laundresses received a set wage and also received rations. Their work was hard and conditions were sometimes poor. Often these laundresses were married to enlisted men and they traveled with their various military companies. Soap Suds Row provides historic accounts of laundresses at several forts, both on the Western Frontier and during the Civil War and also describes the job, the culture, and the working conditions."--Provided by publisher.

    • Far from the Madding Crowd is perhaps the most pastoral of Hardy's Wessex novels. It tells the story of the young farmer Gabriel Oak and his love for and pursuit of the elusive Bathsheba Everdene, whose wayward nature leads her to both tragedy and true love. It tells of the dashing Sergeant Troy whose rakish philosophy of life was '...the past was yesterday; never, the day after'. And lastly, of the introverted and reclusive gentleman farmer, Mr Boldwood, whose love fills him with '...a fearful sense of exposure', when he first sets eyes on Bathsheba.

      A U.S. Naval aircraft on a routine weather patrol in the Caribbean encounters 'Mabel', a ferocious hurricane that should, nevertheless, pass harmlessly among the islands. But David Wyatt, civilian weather expert, has developed a sixth sense about hurricanes and is convinced that Mabel will change course and strike the island of San Fernandez and its capital, St Pierre. Scientific evidence is against him, the Commander of the U.S. Base refuses to evacuate, and Wyatt's lone voice is finally overwhelmed when a rebellion against the tyrannical dictator who rules San Fernandez sweeps down on St Pierre. Wyatt is forced to pit himself against insuperable odds, aided only by a small and diverse group of English and American civilians - and by Hurricane Mabel herself.

Trouble is, when Philip Marlowe asks Lavery about it he denies everything and sends the private investigator packing with a flea lodged firmly in his ear. But when Marlowe next encounters Lavery, he's denying nothing-- on account of the two bullet holes in his heart. Now Marlowe's on the trail of a killer, who leads him out of smoggy LA all the way to a murky mountain lake..." --
