It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a large ego must be in want of a woman to cut him down to size… Sharp, witty Jasmin Field has her own column in a national magazine and has just landed the coveted role of Elizabeth Bennett in a one-off fundraising adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Better yet, the play’s director, Hollywood heartthrob and Oscar-winner, Harry Noble, is every bit as obnoxious as she could have hoped. Which means a lot of material for her column. And a lot of fun in rehearsals. And then disaster strikes. Jazz’s best friend abandons her for a man not worthy to buy her chocolate, her family starts to crumble before her eyes and her award-winning column hits the skids. Worse still, Harry Noble keeps staring at her. As the lights dim, the audience hush, and Jazz awaits her cue, she realizes two very important things, one: she can’t remember her lines, and two: Harry Noble looks amazing in breeches…

Cristóbal Colón creció en Génova, Italia, y estudió geografía y astronomía en sus años mozos, antes de hacerse a la mar en la región del Mediterráneo. Proyectó un viaje arriesgado y consiguió apoyo de la realeza española para llevarlo a cabo. Se hizo a la mar bajo la bandera española con la idea de llegar a Asia por una ruta hacia el occidente. Colon desembarco en el Caribe, con la firme idea de que habia llegado a la costa oriental de Asia. Su legado es polemico, pues sirvio como punta de lanza de la presencia europea en America, con la que inicio la explotacion de la tierra y los pueblos indigenas del Nuevo Mundo.

When Jo Green takes a nannying job in London to escape her small-town routine, complicated family, and perfect-on-paper boyfriend Shaun, culture shock doesn't even begin to describe it. Dick and Vanessa Fitzgerald are the most incompatible pair since Tom and Jerry, and their children - glittery warrior pixie Cassandra, bloodthirsty Zak and shy little Tallulah - are downright mystifying. Suddenly village life seems terribly appealing. Then, just as Jo's getting the hang of their designer lifestyle, the Fitzgeralds acquire a new lodger and suddenly she's sharing her nanny flat with the distractingly good-looking but inexplicably moody Josh. So when Shaun turns up, things get even trickier -
