Any Old Diamonds , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 485min

Lord Alexander Pyne-ffoulkes, the younger son of the Duke of Ilvar, holds a bitter grudge against his wealthy father. The Duke intends to give his Duchess a priceless diamond parure on their wedding anniversary - so Alec hires a pair of jewel thieves to steal it. The Duke's remote castle is a difficult target, and Alec needs a way to get the thieves in. Soldier-turned-criminal Jerry Crozier has the answer: He'll pose as a Society gentleman and become Alec's new best friend. But Jerry is a dangerous man: controlling, remote, and devastating. He effortlessly teases out the lonely young nobleman's most secret desires, and soon he's got Alec in his bed - and the palm of his hand. Or maybe not. Because as the plot thickens, betrayals, secrets, new loves, and old evils come to light. Now the jewel thief and the aristocrat must keep up the pretence, find their way through a maze of privilege and deceit, and confront the truth of what's between them...all without getting caught. ungekürzt.

Anthologie des épithalames burundais Volume II

Ce second volume de l'Anthologie des épithalames burundais rassemble les transcriptions musicales des soixante-quatre chants de mariage présentés et traduits par Barbara Ndimurukundo-Kururu dans le premier volume. Purs joyaux de l'oralité, les épithalames offrent une remarquable synthèse de l'art vocal burundais en empruntant à tous les genres et à tous les styles de la tradition. Ils composent une vibrante parure de chants et de danses qui accompagne et relate les sept étapes de ce jour de fête extrêmement codifié. Ils s'associent tout particulièrement aux états d'âme de la mariée dont ils expriment les joies comme les peines, la lucidité souvent amère devant la nouvelle condition promise et son acceptation résignée. Les partitions sont assorties d'analyses et de commentaires qui approfondissent notre connaissance du système musical en vigueur et qui nous éclairent sur la relation étroite qu'entretiennent la langue kirundi, la parole et le chant dans la tradition burundaise.

While investigating a man claiming to be the long-lost heir to a noble family, Veronica Speedwell gets the surprise of her life in this new adventure from the New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award-nominated author Deanna Raybourn. London, 1889. Veronica Speedwell and her natural historian beau Stoker are summoned by Sir Hugo Montgomerie, head of Special Branch.

Or is he a devious impostor, determined to gain ownership over the family's most valuable possessions-a legendary parure of priceless Rajasthani jewels? It's a delicate situation, and Veronica is Sir Hugo's only hope. Veronica and Stoker agree to go to Hathaway Hall to covertly investigate the mysterious amnesiac. Veronica is soon shocked to find herself face-to-face with a ghost from her past.
