Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Eine wunderschön-melancholische Liebesgeschichte.Stevens dient als Butler auf Darlington Hall. Er sorgt für einen tadellosen Haushalt und ist die Verschwiegenheit in Person: Niemals würde er auch nur ein Wort über die merkwürdigen Vorgänge im Herrenhaus verlieren. Er stellt sein Leben voll und ganz in den Dienst seines Herrn. Auch die vorsichtigen Annäherungsversuche von Miss Kenton, der Haushälterin, weist er brüsk zurück. Die Jahre vergehen, Stevens lebt ergeben in seiner Welt, bis ihn eines Tages die Vergangenheit einholt. »Was vom Tage übrigblieb« ist ein gesellschaftskritischer Roman, erzählt von jemandem, der sich eine solche Kritik nie erlauben würde, und eine wunderschöne, traurige Liebesgeschichte, erzählt von einem, der nie auch nur ahnte, dass er geliebt hat. 258 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - With America quietly gearing up for war in the Middle East, twenty-year-old Tassie Keltjin, a 'half-Jewish' farmer's daughter from the plains of the Midwest, has come to university - escaping her provincial home to encounter the complex world of culture and politics. When she takes a job as a part-time nanny to a couple who seem at once mysterious and glamorous, Tassie is drawn into the life of their newly-adopted child and increasingly complicated household. As her past becomes increasingly alien to her - her parents seem older when she visits; her disillusioned brother ever more fixed on joining the military - Tassie finds herself becoming a stranger to herself. As the year unfolds, love leads her to new and formative experiences - but it is then that the past and the future burst forth in dramatic and shocking ways. Refracted through the eyes of this memorable narrator, A Gate at the Stairs is a lyrical, beguiling and wise novel of our times. 336 pp. Deutsch.

Buch
Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Cells are the basis of all life in the universe. Our bodies are made up of billions of them: an incredibly complex society that governs everything, from movement to memory and imagination. When we age, it is because our cells slow down; when we get ill, it is because our cells mutate or stop working.In How We Live and Why we Die, Wolpert provides a clear explanation of the science that underpins our lives. He explains how our bodies function and how we derived from a single cell - the embryo. He examines the science behind the topics that are much discussed but rarely understood - stem-cell research, cloning, DNA - and explains how all life evolved from just one cell. Lively and passionate, How We Live and Why we Die is an accessible guide to understanding the human body and, essentially, life itself. 256 pp. Deutsch.
