Sinopsis

Booker-winner John Banville has long heralded Pascal Garnier as 'the true heir to Simenon'. Now, with a dozen of Garnier's noirs available in English, Banville introduces a new edition of one of Garnier's masterworks as part of a collection of contemporary and classic jewels of French literature.How's the Pain? sees ageing 'pest exterminator' Simon take on one last job on the Riveira, aided by young chauffeur Bernard. As the unlikely pair set off on their journey, Bernard soon finds that Simon's definition of vermin is broader than he'd expected... Veering from the hilarious to the horrific, this offbeat story from master stylist Pascal Garnier is at heart an affecting study of human frailty.

    Meet the Boxheads. They’re the family of the new millennium. The Boxheads have many funny situations as they explore their new surroundings and meet new friends at the local mall. Come along with them to learn about morals, good manners, and how to be a true friend through problem-solving. The Boxheads saga will continue with their unique methods of teaching children to love, respect, and have genuine feelings that are motivated by both heart and mind, always using the power of reasoning to weigh both sides, thus coming to the right and most thoughtful conclusions. By keeping the little conscious activated, it keeps an open mind to the good and not-so-good, in time developing character and good conduct. The Boxhead’s personalities reflect the basics of today’s children. Without any further ado, I would like to introduce the Boxheads!

    When an angel accidentally falls to Earth — quite literally — Victorian England isn’t ready for him. 
    In The Wonderful Visit, H. G. Wells blends gentle comedy, quiet wonder, and sharp social insight in this whimsical tale of the extraordinary disrupting the everyday. When a vicar mistakes a celestial visitor for a rare bird and wounds him, he soon discovers the “strange bird” is, in fact, an angel — bewildered, radiant, and suddenly subject to the odd rules of human life. 
    As the vicar tends to his unexpected guest, the angel must confront earthly aches, polite society, manners, gossip, and the peculiar limitations of mortals. What follows is a heart-touching and humorous exploration of innocence, belief, and the fragile barrier between the divine and the ordinary. 
    With charm and subtle satire, Wells invites us to consider how humanity might greet the miraculous — with curiosity, confusion, and perhaps a touch of grace. 
    A tender, thoughtful fantasy told with wit and warmth.
