This book is a reproduction of the original work, preserving its content and essence for readers. It offers an opportunity to explore classic literature in its authentic form.

Alan Rickman remains one of the most beloved actors of all time across almost every genre, from his breakout role as Die Hard's villainous Hans Gruber to his heart-wrenching run as Professor Severus Snape, and beyond. His air of dignity, his sonorous voice and the knowing wit he brought to each role continue to captivate new audiences today. But Rickman's artistry wasn't confined to just his performances. Fans of memoirs at large will delight in the intimate experience of reading Rickman detailing the extraordinary and the ordinary in a way that is 'anecdotal, indiscreet, witty, gossipy and utterly candid'. He grants us access to his thoughts, not only on plays, films and the craft of acting, but also politics, friendships and life. The Rickman Diaries was written with the intention to be shared, and reading it is like listening to Rickman chatting to a close friend.

A new Christmas classic from a magical Dame Emma Thompson and Axel Scheffler. The story of a very lucky, very special, very grubby dog, who lives, improbably, in the Victoria and Albert Museum. Emma Thompson magically weaves the real-life tale of Jim - beloved dog of Sir Henry Cole who created the first Christmas card - with a fantastically warm and heartfelt Christmas romp, brilliantly illustrated by bestselling illustrator, Axel Scheffler. A Christmas book to treasure, and an adventure filled with high emotion, guilt, redemption, unexpected presents and a life-changing brush with royalty.

When you think back to Christmases past, what made it magical? Looking towards the future, what would your perfect Christmas be? What would you change? What should we all change? The perfect holiday book, featuring the remembrances of Meryl Streep, Emilia Clarke, Olivia Colman, Caitlin Moran, and more, to coincide with the upcoming movie LAST CHRISTMAS, starring Emma Thompson, Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding. This is a beautiful, funny and soulful collection of personal essays about the meaning of Christmas, written by an exceptional body of voices from the boulevards of Hollywood to the soup kitchens of Covent Garden. Stepping away from the holiday shopping, the midtown Manhattan window decorations, and the gingerbread cookies and hot cocoa, this gem of a book is introduced and curated by Emma Thompson and Greg Wise and celebrates the importance of kindness and generosity, acceptance and tolerance - and shows us that these values are not just for Christmas, but for every day of the year. 25¢ from every book sold will be donated to Crisis and The Refugee Council!

Clicca qui per l'edizione "Storie senza tempo". Scritto nel 1795 con il titolo di "Elinor and Marianne", "Ragione e sentimento" viene pubblicato nel 1811. Come gli altri maggiori romanzi della Austen, descrive le vicende di un'anima ingenuamente romantica che, attraverso l'esperienza, giunge a comprendere infine la realtà dell'esistenza. Protagoniste sono le giovani sorelle Dashwood, Elinor e Marianne, che, alla morte del padre, sono costrette a fare i conti con le ristrettezze economiche nella loro nuova e modesta casa nel Devonshire. Qui conosceranno le pene e le gioie dell'amore e, imparando a conciliare la ragione con il sentimento, diventeranno donne. Attorno a questo processo di maturazione la Austen tesse una trama piena di grazia e ironia, in cui con la sua elegantissima prosa riesce ad analizzare e descrivere con straordinaria sottigliezza il contrasto e il dissidio tra istanze psicologiche e morali.
