Als mir meine Schwester Thea erzählte, dass sich in den U-Bahn-Tunneln von Mausilia ein Gespenst herumtrieb, wusste ich, dass ich diese Geschichte für die "Neuen Nager-Nachrichten" haben musste! Also machte ich mich mit Thea, Farfalle und meiner Assistentin Pinky Pick auf Geisterjagd. Schon bald fanden wir heraus, dass Sally Ratmaussen, die Verlegerin der "Ratten-Zeitung", ebenfalls hinter dem geheimnisvollen Geist her war. Und dann saßen wir alle zusammen in der Mausefalle - denn wie sich herausstellte, war das Gespenst eine Katze!

Manchmal braucht auch eine vielbeschäftigte Maus wie ich einen schönen, erholsamen Urlaub. Doch jedes Mal, wenn ich endlich frei machen wollte, ging irgendwas schief!

Warum, warum, warum war ich nicht in meinem gemütlichen Mauseloch in der Stadt geblieben?

The Awakening shocked turn-of-the-century readers and reviewers with its treatment of sex and suicide. In a departure from literary convention, Kate Chopin failed to condemn her heroine''s desire for an affair with the son of a Louisiana resort owner, whom she meets on vacation. The power of sensuality, the delusion of ecstatic love, and the solitude that accompanies the trappings of middle- and upper-class convention are themes of this now-classic novel. The book was influenced by French writers ranging from Flaubert to Maupassant, and can be seen as a precursor of the impressionistic, mood-driven novels of Virginia Woolf and Djuna Barnes. Variously called "vulgar," "unhealthily introspective," and "morbid," the book was neglected for several decades, not least because it was written by a "regional" woman writer.

"The Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Famous Moll Flanders" es una novela publicada en 1722 por Daniel Defoe. Considerada como novela picaresca, Moll Flanders es un personaje de clase baja que se mueve por distintas esferas sociales intentando salir adelante mediante su ingenio. La protagonista sufre todos sus males por un unico defecto: querer ser rica sin poder serlo; lo que la lleva a cometer adulterio, prostitucion, abandono infantil, incesto y robo. Asimismo es la historia de los crimenes de una mujer sin fe, con una voluntad pecaminosa, a la que la prosperidad solo le llega cuando acepta la confesion y la sumision a los designios divinos. "Moll Flanders" tambien ofrece valiosa informacion acerca de la vida, los habitos y los castigos en el mundo de la delincuencia del siglo XVIII, asi como una de las mejores descripciones de la vida en el barrio londinense de The Mint y de la prision de Newgate.

Banished from England for seeking to marry against his father''s wishes, Ivanhoe joins Richard the Lion Heart on a crusade in the Holy Land. On his return, his passionate desire is to be reunited with the beautiful but forbidden lady Rowena, but he soon finds himself playing a more dangerous game as he is drawn into a bitter power struggle between the noble King Richard and his evil and scheming brother John. The first of Scott''s novels to address a purely English subject, Ivanhoe is set in a highly romanticized medieval world of tournaments and sieges, chivalry and adventure where dispossessed Saxons are pitted against their Norman overlords, and where the historical and fictional seamlessly merge.
