SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE! A powerful, unforgettable
graphic novel from the world of Wonder, by globally bestselling and
award-winning author R J Palacio. To the millions of readers who
fell in love with R J Palacio's Wonder, Julian is best-known as
Auggie Pullman's classroom bully. White Bird reveals a new side to
Julian's story, as Julian discovers the moving and powerful tale of
his grandmother, who was hidden from the Nazis as a young Jewish
girl in occupied France during the Second World War. An
unforgettable, unputdownable story about strength, courage and the
power of kindness to change hearts, build bridges, and even save
lives, from the globally bestselling author of Wonder.
In an alternate world where the mere presence of American
superheroes changed history, the US won the Vietnam War, Nixon is
still president, and the cold war is in full effect. Watchmen
begins as a murder-mystery, but soon unfolds into a planet-altering
conspiracy. As the resolution comes to a head, the unlikely group
of reunited heroes--Rorschach, Nite Owl, Silk Spectre, Dr.
Manhattan and Ozymandias - have to test the limits of their
convictions and ask themselves where the true line is between good
and evil. In the mid-eighties, Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons created
Watchmen, changing the course of comics' history and essentially
remaking how popular culture perceived the genre. Popularly cited
as the point where comics came of age, Watchmen's sophisticated
take on superheroes has been universally acclaimed for its
psychological depth and realism. Watchmen is collected here with a
new cover, sketches, extra bonus material, and a new introduction
by series artist Dave Gibbons.
Bei Liu has chosen to challenge Cao Cao for the role of the most
powerful man in China. But on the eve of battle, Bei Liu's ally,
Shao Yuan, fails to support him, and Bei Liu must run for his life.
This leaves Yu Guan alone to fend for himself against Cao Cao, who
is keen to have a man of his courage and honor on his side. Can Cao
Cao convince Yu Guan to change allegiance? Can Yu Guan serve two
masters? What will happen when a decision is made?

Caesar het 'n boek geskryf! Ja, sowaar! Hy het sy kommentare oor
die Galliese oorlog neergepen. Maar sy slinkse uitgewer, Sinus
Apocrivus, het ander planne met die manuskrip. Is Caesar se
“Kommentare oor die Galliese oorlog” nog volledig, en hoekom word
die kopiiste skielik opgesluit? Is dit dalk omdat hulle iets weet
wat die res van Gallie nie mag weet nie, en wat die hele ryk gaan
skud? Wanneer een van die kopiiste ontsnap met 'n papirusrol onder
die arm, is die gort gaar!
