Bestselling author Delia Ephron shares a deeply personal collection of stories and essays, anchored by a loving remembrance of her sister Nora. In Sister Mother Husband Dog, Delia Ephron brings her trademark wit and effervescent prose to a series of autobiographical essays about life, love, sisterhood, movies, and family. In "Losing Nora," she deftly captures the rivalry, mutual respect, and intimacy that made up her relationship with her older sister and frequent writing companion. Other essays run the gamut from a humorous piece about love and the movies--how one romantic comedy completely destroyed her twenties--to the joy of girl friends and best friendship, the magical madness and miracle of dogs, keen-eyed observations about urban survival, and a serious and affecting memoir of life with her mother and growing up the child of alcoholics. Ephron's eloquent style and voice illuminate every page of this superb and singular work.
Siedler Und Filibuster in Sonora: Eine Mexikanische Region Im Interesse Auslandischer Abenteurer Und Machte (1821-1860)

Die besondere Anziehungskraft Sonoras lag in ihren Gold- und Silbervorkommen. Sie weckten das Interesse Frankreichs und der USA und lockten europaische Siedler in diese mexikanische Region, die von widrigen klimatischen und demografischen Bedingungen ebenso wie von den Konflikten mit ihrer indigenen Bevolkerung gepragt war. Ab 1848 sollte die neue Grenze zu den USA die Situation Sonoras massgeblich bestimmen, da sie Apachen als Ruckzugs- und militarischen Abenteurern den Filibustern als Aufmarschgebiet diente. Der Bundesstaat schien der geeignete Ort zur Umsetzung ihrer politischen Ambitionen zu sein, die oft nahezu deckungsgleich waren mit den Zielen der franzosischen bzw. nordamerikanischen Politik. Die Versuche der Filibuster, Sonora aus dem Verband der mexikanischen Staaten zu losen und dort unabhangige Republiken zu errichten, stehen im Vordergrund dieser Studie. Es werden auch die wirtschaftlichen, politischen und sozialen Folgen der Filibusterexpeditionen beleuchtet, die Sonoras Sonderweg begrundeten, der beispielhaft ist fur den inneren Zustand Mexikos im 19. Jahrhundert.
Ma ei suuda sõnadega väljendada, kui väga mulle see raamat meeldis. Ma oleksin tahtnud, et see kestaks igavesti! - Reese WitherspoonAastaid on jutud Paduratüdrukust kummitanud Barkley Cove'i, vaikse Põhja-Carolina rannikulinnakese elanikke. Kui 1969. aastal leitakse paduralt nägusa Chase Andrewsi surnukeha, kahtlustavad kohalikud kohe Kya Clarki - Paduratüdrukut.Aga Kyat tunnevad vähesed. Tundlik ja intelligentne tüdruk on elanud aastaid üksinda padural, mida ta oma koduks nimetab, leidnud sõpru kajakate hulgast ja õppetunde liivateradest. Elus vaid ühe päeva kooliharidust saanud tüdruk on sündinud loodusteadlane, kes õpib maailma tegelikke reegleid maalt endalt. Kuni jõuab kätte aeg, mil Kya hakkab tundma igatsust puudutuste ja armastuse järele, ning kui tema metsik ilu võlub ära kaks linnakese noormeest, avab Kya end uuele elule - kuni sünnib mõeldamatu.Romaan "Kus laulavad langustid" on erakordselt peen ood loodusele, habras täiskasvanuks saamise lugu ja painav mõrvamüsteerium. Delia Owensi mõtlemapanev, elutark ja sügavalt liigutav romaan tuletab meile meelde, et meid jääb alatiseks saatma see laps, kes me kord olime. "Kus laulavad langustid" on ilmumisest alates olnud New York Timesi raamatumüügi edetabeli tipus.Owensi valulikult kaunis debüütromaan on ülistuslaul loodusele. - The New York Times Book ReviewSelles vaimustavas romaanis on kõike - salapära, romantika ning paeluvad tegelased. - Nicholas SparksPõhja-Carolina ranniku padura rütmidest ja varjudest läbi imbunud erakordselt kaunis romaan. - PeopleKütkestav ja originaalne. Mõrvamüsteerium, kohtudraama, armastuslugu ja täiskasvanuks saamise teekond, mille peategelane jääb lugejatele veel kauaks meelde. - ShelfAwareness
Universal and timeless, Delia Ephron's How to Eat Like a Child is a delightful revisiting of the joys -- and tricky ploys -- of childhood. Made into a children's television special and a musical theater revue performed across the country each year, How to Eat Like a Child offers advice beyond the artful etiquette of food consumption. Ephron also teaches us How to Laugh Hysterically, How to Have a Birthday Party, How to Torture Your Sister, and much, much more. As the Washington Post Book World noted, After the giggles of recognition have subsided, one thing will be very clear: all adults are kids in grown-ups' clothing.

Quelle place occupe le droit dans l’Encyclopédie de Diderot et de D’Alembert? Quels rapports le mouvement encyclopédique et l’esprit de la Déclaration des droits de 1789 entretiennent-ils? Dans cette étude novatrice, Luigi Delia explore les enjeux du droit dans l’entreprise emblématique des Lumières.Encadrée par la publication de deux ouvrages fondamentaux – L’Esprit des lois de Montesquieu (1748) et le Traité des délits et des peines de Beccaria (1765) –, l’Encyclopédie propose une nouvelle conception de la justice en faisant dialoguer des cultures juridiques différentes, celle des juristes et celle des philosophes. A partir d’articles ‘raisonnés’ rédigés par la figure émancipatrice du chevalier de Jaucourt, L. Delia met en relief l’esprit de réforme qui souffle sur deux grands sujets de discussion au XVIIIe siècle: la justice naturelle et le droit pénal. Guerre, esclavage, loi, code, sanction, suicide, duel, torture comptent parmi les thèmes de réflexion abordés. L’ouvrage étudie également Beccaria, autre personnalité essentielle du moment; il souligne l’ascendant de ses idées sur Diderot, De Felice, Merlin de Douai, Jacques-Vincent Delacroix, et en examine la réception dans le cercle d’Yverdon et dans l’Encyclopédie méthodique de Panckoucke. Ce faisant, L. Delia dresse un tableau des principales polémiques de l’époque suscitées par trois questions majeures: la torture judiciaire, la peine de mort et la condition des détenus, questions qui anticipent à plus d’un titre les débats contemporains sur la justice et les droits de l’homme.
