Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt is die geliefde skrywer van Oskar en die Pienk Tannie en Monsieur Ibrahim en die Blomme van die Koran. In Madame Pylinska en die Geheim van Chopin vertel Schmitt die vermaaklike en dikwels roerende verhaal van sy lesse by ‘n Poolse klavieronderwyseres, Madame Pylinska.
Sy ‘Saterdae saam met Madame Pylinska’ sluit ook lesse in oor die geskiedenis van Pole en komponiste wat vir die klavier geskryf het, veral Chopin en Liszt. Ander onvergeetlike karakters in die verhaal is Schmitt se Tante Aimée, aan wie hy sy liefde vir die klavier en veral Chopin te danke het, en Madame Pylinska se katte, vernoem na (of geïnkarneer deur?) beroemde Chopinpianiste soos Alfred Cortot, Arthur Rubinstein en Vladimir Horowitz.
Dit is ook die verhaal van Schmitt se ontdekking van waar sy eintlike talent lê: nie by die uitvoering van Chopin nie, maar by die skryf van kortverhale, romans en dramas.

Noam is a young man when the Flood wreaks havoc on the world,
destroying the peaceful lakeside village he called home, and
turning his whole life upside down. Destined to live forever as an
immortal, Noam travels through the centuries in search of the
meaning of life, and the events which shaped who we have become
today. Paradises Lost is the first installment of Eric-Emmanuel
Schmitt’s monumental project of recounting the history of
humanity, the fruits of more than thirty years of research. The
first in a series, and in the form of a stylistic novel much like
Yuval Noah Harari crossed with Alexandre Dumas. Schmitt combines
his scientific, religious and philosophical research to propel
readers from one world to another, and from pre-history to today.

This groundbreaking book offers a compelling articulation of the
right of access to justice for individuals facing human rights
violations by international organizations. Following an examination
of the human rights obligations of a variety of international
organizations, the author scrutinizes their dispute settlement
mechanisms as well as the conflict between their immunities and the
right of access to justice before national jurisdictions.
Highlighting recent examples, such as the cholera outbreak in
Haiti, this book reveals how individual victims of human rights
violations by international organizations are frequently left in
the cold, due to the lack of an independent, impartial dispute
settlement mechanism before which they can file such claims.
Considering both global mechanisms and current mechanisms
established by international organisations such as administrative
jurisdictions for employment-related disputes, Pierre Schmitt finds
that they either are not competent or that they have a limited
scope. He concludes by offering normative proposals addressed both
to international organizations and to national judges confronted
with such cases. Offering a wealth of empirical and practical
wisdom, this book will appeal to scholars in public international
law and human rights. It is also a must-read for practitioners,
judges and legal advisers working in the field and will prove a
useful tool for national authorities negotiating immunity
conventions with international organizations.
Humbug! On a cobblestone street in London, on a cold Christmas Eve,
the wealthy, greedy Ebenezer Scrooge is staying late at work at his
"counting-house," keeping his clerk, poor Bob Cratchit, busy and
cold and away from his family. But little does Scrooge know that
his old business partner, Jacob Marley - dead for seven years - is
about to pay him a ghostly visit! His intention: to warn Scrooge
that three spirits, the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and
future, will be soon coming to see him, in order to convince him to
change his ways before it's too late! As Scrooge comes to see the
mistakes he's made, as only the three spirits can show him, he
realises that nothing is better than being loved by his family and
his fellow people. In this gorgeously illustrated instant-hardcover
classic, the true meaning of Christmas is brought to life!
