Sparkling with wit, wisdom, and wonderful songs including "I Could Have Danced All Night," "Wouldn’t It Be Loverly," and "Get Me To The Church On Time," this musical play based on Bernard Shaw’s "Pygmalion" has been delighting audiences since its premiere in the 1950s. When overbearing Professor Higgins encounters flower girl Eliza Doolittle in Covent Garden, he recognizes that her poor speech is all that separates her from the upper classes. Higgins wagers that he can transform her into a Duchess in a matter of weeks. However, the story raises questions about identity, class, and the consequences of transformation. As Eliza undergoes her metamorphosis, she grapples with her sense of self and the implications of her newfound status. The narrative explores themes of social mobility and personal agency, ultimately asking what happens to Eliza when the bet is over.

Die Kanzlei Bendini, Lambert & Locke bietet ein attraktives Gehalt, hohe Prämien und vielversprechende Aufstiegschancen. Mitch kann nicht widerstehen und nimmt das Angebot an.

Doch bald entdeckt er, dass er überwacht wird – Mikrofone in seinem Auto, seiner Wohnung und im Büro. Nach einem mysteriösen Unfall, bei dem zwei Kollegen sterben, beginnt er zu recherchieren und erkennt, dass die Kanzlei in krumme Geschäfte verwickelt ist. Mitch will fliehen, doch kein Mitarbeiter hat bisher lebend die Kanzlei verlassen. Ein Grisham zu lesen ist ein Genuss, ihn zu hören, steigert das Erlebnis.

[ Penguin Readers Level 2 ] The idea for this famous story came to du Maurier one day when she was walking across to Menabilly Barton farm from the house. She saw a farmer busily ploughing a field whilst above him the seagulls were diving and wheeling. She developed an idea about the birds becoming hostile and attacking him. In her story, the birds become hostile after a harsh winter with little food—first the seagulls, then birds of prey, and finally even small birds—all turn against mankind. The nightmarish vision appealed to Hitchcock who turned it into the celebrated film.
Der Horror, den die Vögel in dem kleinen Küstenort Bodega Bay verbreiten, ist unvergesslich. Im Mittelpunkt steht das Drama zwischen Mitch, Melanie und Anne. Die Frage des Überlebens bleibt offen, während die Protagonisten mit der Bedrohung durch die Vögel konfrontiert werden. Die Geschichte entfaltet sich in einer Atmosphäre der Spannung und des Unbehagens, die den Leser in ihren Bann zieht. Die Vögel werden zum Symbol für das Unbekannte und das Unkontrollierbare, während die Charaktere mit ihren eigenen Ängsten und Konflikten kämpfen. Du Maurier schafft es, die Grenzen zwischen Mensch und Natur zu verwischen und eine tiefgreifende Reflexion über die menschliche Existenz und die Fragilität des Lebens zu bieten.

Contemporary / British English Meet the Larkin family They enjoy a wonderful country life, never worrying about money, work -- or the law. But then, one day, a man arrives from the tax office. Is the taxman going to change the Larkin's lives? Or is his life going to change forever?
"Das psychologische Meisterwerk des kühnen englischen Erzählers spielt im Milieu der Bergarbeiter und ist einem Urthema der Menscheit gewidmet: der Liebe zwischen Mutter und Sohn. Schwankend zwischen einer nahezu erotischen Verbundenheit mit seiner Mutter und einem hassenden Verlangen, sich ihrem starken Einfluss zu entziehen, versucht er vergeblich, Glück bei anderen Frauen zu finden." (Rowohlt)

An eighty-foot yacht suddenly capsizes in the Aegean, leaving only six survivors. Then, minutes later, in the same area, an unidentified four-engine jet crashes into the sea. Are these twin disasters more than coincidence? Commander Talbot and the crew of the HMS Ariadne are assigned to retrieve from the ocean floor the jet's volatile cargo: atomic and hydrogen weaponry with the force to destroy millions. As the delicate operation proceeds, Talbot finds himself trapped in a whirl of nightmarish events involving terrorism and drugs -- and a diabolic plot that leads straight to the Pentagon.
