Goku's adventure from the best-selling classic manga Dragon Ball
continues in this new series written by Akira Toriyama himself!
Ever since Goku became Earth's greatest hero and gathered the seven
Dragon Balls to defeat the evil Boo, his life on Earth has grown a
little dull. But new threats loom overhead, and Goku and his
friends will have to defend the planet once again in this
continuation of Akira Toriyama's best-selling series, Dragon Ball!
Granolah and Goku's battle reaches its climax! And Granolah is
willing to put his life on the line to take Vegeta down with him
too! But suddenly, Monaito appears with an important message for
all three fighters-the truth about what happened on planet Cereal
all those years ago...
'A bookshop is a first-rate place for unobtrusive observation,' he
continued. 'One can remain in it an indefinite time, dipping into
one book after another, all over the place.' Mr Richard Dodsley,
owner of a fine second-hand bookshop on Charing Cross Road, has
been found murdered in the cold hours of the morning. Shot in his
own office, few clues remain besides three cigarette ends, two
spent matches and a few books on the shelves which have been
rearranged. In an investigation spanning the second-hand bookshops
of London and the Houses of Parliament (since an MP's new crime
novel Death at the Desk appears to have some bearing on the case),
Ferguson's series sleuth MacNab is at hand to assist Scotland Yard
in an atmospheric and ingenious fair-play bibliomystery.
Born the crown prince of a prosperous kingdom, Xie Lian was
renowned for his beauty, strength, and purity. His years of
dedication and noble deeds allowed him to ascend to godhood. But
those who rise, can also fall... and fall he does, cast from the
Heavens again and again and banished to the mortal realm. Eight
hundred years after his mortal life, Xie Lian has ascended to
godhood for the third time. Now only a lowly scrap collector, he is
dispatched to wander the earthly realm to take on tasks appointed
by the heavens to pay back debts and maintain his divinity. Aided
by old friends and foes alike, and graced with the company of a
mysterious young man with whom he feels an instant connection, Xie
Lian must confront the horrors of his past in order to dispel the
curse of his present. This Chinese xianxia fantasy novel series
built around the romanticised love between two men (danmei) is the
newest work from author Mo Xiang Tong Xiu, and has spawned an
ongoing multimedia franchise that's beloved across the world -
including the animated series (donghua) that amassed 100 million
views in just its first month.
Twee plaasdramas oor grense, tradisies, grond en bloed.
Melk & Vleis
Dis 1996. Suid-Afrika het verander, maar sekere huishoudings nog nie. ’n Suksesvolle aktuaris los haar werk in die stad nadat sy verlief raak op ’n sjarmante jong boer. Sy probeer haar bes om in te pas by die kleindorpse gemeenskap, haarself in haar huwelik te laat geld, en die familieplaas van ondergang te red. Nadat ’n erfgenaam gebore word, begin dinge egter op die plaas uitrafel ...
Bloed & Bodem
Jana besoek haar pa en oom op die familieplaas. Die plaas gaan agteruit en haar pa sit meer op die kroegstoel as die kerkbank. Een nag los hy in sy dronkenskap die hek oop en dit word ‘n aand wat niemand sal vergeet nie... ’n Verhaal oor plaasaanvalle en die desperate nalatenskap van Afrikanermans wat nooit kon heel nadat hulle aan die “verkeerde” kant van die apartheidstryd geveg het nie.
'Doctor Watson, Mr Sherlock Holmes' - The most famous introduction
in the history of crime fiction takes place in Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle's A Study in Scarlet, bringing together Sherlock Holmes, the
master of science detection, and John H. Watson, the great
detective's faithful chronicler. This novel not only establishes
the magic of the Holmes myth but also provides the reader with a
dramatic adventure yarn which ranges from the foggy, gas-lit
streets of London to the burning plains of Utah. The Sign of the
Four, the second Holmes novel, presents the detective with one of
his greatest challenges. The theft of the Agna treasure in India
forms a catalyst for treachery, deceit and murder. With these two
classic novels, A Study in Scarlet and The Sign of the Four, you
have the brilliant foundation of the Sherlock Holmes canon. Reading
pleasure rarely comes any finer.

London, 1943. Across the city prominent figures in science and the
military are bursting into flame and being incinerated. Convinced
that the Germans have deployed a new terror weapon, a desperate
government turns to the one man who can track down the source of
this dreadful menace - Sherlock Holmes. The quest for a solution
drives Holmes into an uneasy alliance with the country's most
brilliant scientific genius, Professor James Moriarty. Only Holmes
knows that, behind his facade of respectability, Moriarty is the
mastermind behind a vast criminal empire. As they pursue the trail
of incendiary murders, Holmes is quite sure that the professor is
playing a double game and that there lies ahead a duel to the death
which they cannot both survive. A tribute to the classic Universal
Pictures Sherlock Holmes film series starring Basil Rathbone and
Nigel Bruce.
Who is trying to destroy Barclay Clements' fragile wife Nicky? The
mysterious figure from her past? Or someone closer to home? Someone
they look upon as a friend? This is Michael Limmer's fourth
full-length thriller, his previous being A Heart to Betray (2015).
All profi ts from his writings are shared between three Christian
charities: Support for Romania, assisting poor and homeless
families in that country; Starfi sh Asia, helping educate children
from the poorest families in Pakistan; and Barnabas Fund, aiding
persecuted Christian minorities world-wide.
'I hate murders and I hate murderers, but I must admit that the
discovery of a bearded corpse would give a fillip to my jaded
mind.' Vivian Lestrange - celebrated author of the popular mystery
novel The Charterhouse Case and total recluse - has apparently
dropped off the face of the Earth. Reported missing by his
secretary Eleanor, whom Inspector Bond suspects to be the author
herself, it appears that crime and murder is afoot when Lestrange's
housekeeper is also found to have disappeared. Bond and Warner of
Scotland Yard set to work to investigate a murder with no body and
a potentially fictional victim, as E C R Lorac spins a twisting
tale full of wry humour and red herrings, poking some fun at her
contemporary reviewers who long suspected the Lorac pseudonym to
belong to a man (since a woman could apparently not have written
mysteries the way that she did). Incredibly rare today, this
mystery returns to print for the first time since 1935.
Die nuwe Afrikaanse prosaboek is ’n viering van verskeidenheid. Dit bied ’n verruimende, vars blik op die Afrikaanse kortverhaal met sowel klassieke verhale deur welbekende skrywers asook voorheen ongepubliseerde verhale deur nuwe stemme. Jan Rabie, wat in die laat-1950’s die kontoere van die literêre landskap verlê het met sy soms absurde, soms filosofiese, soms politieke “prosas”, dien as inspirasie.
HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved,
essential classics.
'How sad it is I shall grow old, and horrid, and dreadful. But
this picture will remain always young If it was only the other way
'
Wilde's first and only published novel recounts the story of
handsome Dorian Gray who upon having his portrait painted desires
that it will age and grow ugly while he may remain eternally
beautiful. The painting, which reflects each of Gray's sins and
transgressions in its hideousness, haunts him until it finally
becomes unbearable. In this dark tale of duplicity and mortality,
Wilde creates a world where art and reality collide."
