The Murders in the Rue Morgue And The Purloined Letter (+ Audio CD) Edgar Allan Poe CIDEB

For centuries hummingbirds have captured our imaginations: revered by Native Americans, coveted by European collectors and admired worldwide for their jewel-like plumage, acrobatic flight and immense character • Though their renown extends throughout the world, hummingbirds are found exclusively in the Americas. Small in stature yet fiercely tenacious, they have conquered every habitat imaginable: from boreal woodlands to deserts, mangrove swamps to volcanic slopes, and on islands both tropical and sub-polar. The Glitter in the Green takes us on an unforgettable journey in search of the most remarkable examples of this wildly variable family. There's the Bee Hummingbird in Cuba, the smallest species of bird to have ever lived; the diminutive Rufous Hummingbird, whose annual migration exceeds 3,000 miles; and the critically endangered Juan Fernandez Firecrown, marooned on the remote Pacific island that inspired Robinson Crusoe

An unforgettable thriller from an incredible new author, for fans of We Were Liars and Half Bad, reminiscent of The Virgin Suicides • Father wants sixteen-year-old Castley and her five siblings to hide from the world. Living in a falling-down house deep in the woods, he wants to bury their secrets where noone will ever find them • Father says they are destined to be together forever. In heaven. Father says the sooner they get there, the better • But Castley wants to be normal. She wants to kiss boys and wear jean shorts • Castley wants to live

For centuries, scientists had only one way to study the brain: wait for misfortune to strike - strokes, seizures, infections, lobotomies, horrendous accidents, phantom limbs, Siamese twins - and see how the victims changed afterwards. In many cases their survival was miraculous, and observers marvelled at the transformations that took place when different parts of the brain were destroyed. Parents suddenly couldn't recognise their children. Pillars of the community became pathological liars and paedophiles. Some people couldn't speak but could still sing. Others couldn't read but could write • The stories of these people laid the foundations of modern neuroscience and, century by century, key cases taught scientists what every last region of the brain did

В доме на улице Морг обнаружены два женских трупа. У полиции нет ни мотивов, ни улик этого загадочного преступления. Ясно лишь одно: убийца не только обладает нечеловеческой силой, но и способен растворяться в тумане ночи... И тогда за дело берется один из лучших детективов Франции Огюст Дюпен. Он умело распутывает все узелки и собирает куски головоломки в единое целое • Опубликовав в апреле 1841 г. рассказ "Убийства на улице Морг" , американский писатель Эдгар По заложил основы детективного жанра и ввел в литературный обиход нового героя - благородного сыщика, наделенного выдающимися умственными способностями и "даром анализа", при помощи которых он виртуозно расследует самые трудные загадки и преступления • Также в сборнике представлены рассказы "Сердце-обличитель", "Маска Красной смерти" и "Падение дома Ашеров"
