Le bal des tentations

Who wrote the plays and poems credited to William Shakespeare?Though professors and English teachers would have you believe the matter is settled and the author of Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet and Much Ado about Nothing has long since been identified, that is far from true. There are good reasons to doubt that the man who was born and died in Stratford-upon-Avon was ever any kind of writer, much less the most honored author in the English language. As time goes on, the number of doubters - including authors, actors, attorneys, doctors, judges, university professors, and scholars of English literature - continues to grow, as does the list of books documenting the many reasons for doubt. While the major books on the authorship question are excellent, they're mostly big (often running upwards of 500 pages) and often densely written in order to fit in all the details. It's a major commitment of time to thoroughly absorb the books, so it's easier for readers who aren't already doubters to pass by rather than dive into the literature to find out more. MUCH ADO ABOUT SHAKESPEARE is a quick introduction to the authorship question. If you've heard that there's a squabble about who Shakespeare really was, but you don't know much about it - or if you've simply wondered what all the fuss is about - this 10, 000-word summary is a good starting place. This is not intended as a scholarly work. The aim of the book is to present the basic information and encourage a reader to inquire further. Leigh Michaels is the author of more than 100 books, including fiction and non-fiction. She came to the Shakespeare authorship controversy more than 30 years ago, when her background as an author and investigative reporter led her to wonder how the man from Stratford-upon-Avon could have been the author of the plays and poems.

Patron et papa - Milliardaire et papa - Trois enfants à aimer - Marié malgré lui

From the author:"I write novels about glitzy and glamorous people who go to wonderful restaurants and eat exotic dishes. But I keep my fancy cookbooks in my office for reference. For my own cooking, I stick to tried-and-true, practical recipes that are fast and good, or they're easy to fix, or they make a lot and freeze well so I only have to go through the slicing-and-dicing stages once in a while. And if you keep a pantry stocked with basics, most of these recipes don't call for a special trip to the supermarket. This book also includes a section of fast hacks (like how to make a cake mix taste like a professional baker's product) and substitutions (like what to do when your recipe calls for self-rising flour and you don't have any). I've also added a section called "Don't Eat This!" which includes homemade green cleaning solutions and other do-it-yourself products, some around-the-house tricks for getting rid of pests, and some fun craft projects."
