Alles wat beweegt
Begin vorige eeuw beleeft een wereldberoemde danseres aan de Nederlandse kust de grootste omwenteling van haar levenDe Amerikaanse pionier van de moderne dans Isadora Duncan tart de normen en wetten van haar tijd, zowel in haar persoonlijke leven als in haar kunst. Voor het eerst in de geschiedenis danst ze op blote voeten en in losse gewaden, geïnspireerd op de bewegingen van de natuur.Wanneer ze zwanger raakt van een gehuwde man, trekt ze zich in 1906 enkele maanden terug in een villa in de duinen van Noordwijk aan Zee. Hopelijk ongezien door de paparazzi wil ze hier in Nederland haar eerste kind krijgen. Als ongetrouwde vrouw zet Isadora alles op het spel. Dat doet ze welbewust. Ze vindt dat een vrouw kinderen moet kunnen krijgen zoals zij dat wenst en ze kiest uit volle overtuiging voor de Britse toneelvernieuwer Edward Gordon Craig. Ze is vrij, maar raakt toch verstrikt in haar obsessie voor deze man.Isadora Duncan trotseert aan onze kust de conservatieve krachten die op haar inwerken en doorstaat de grootste omwenteling van haar leven.

Robinson Crusoe
'I walk'd about on the shore, lifting up my hands, and my whole being, as I may say, wrapt up in the contemplation of my deliverance ... reflecting upon all my comrades that were drown'd, and that there should not be one soul sav'd but my self ... 'Who has not dreamed of life on an exotic isle, far away from civilization? Here is the novel which has inspired countless imitations by lesser writers, none of which equal the power and originality of Defoe's famous book. Robinson Crusoe, set ashore on an island after a terrible storm at sea, is forced to make do with only a knife, some tobacco, and a pipe. He learns how to build a canoe, make bread, and endure endless solitude. That is, until, twenty-four years later, when he confronts another human being. First published in 1719, Robinson Crusoe has been praised by such writers as James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and Samuel Johnson as one of the greatest novels in the English language.The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

Da Terra à Lua
Da Terra à Lua: O Disparo de Artilharia Definitivo A Guerra Civil Americana acabou, e o Baltimore Gun Club - uma sociedade de entusiastas de armas ociosos - está desesperadamente entediado. O presidente deles, Impey Barbicane, propõe um projeto novo aparentemente impossível e quase insano: construir um canhão gigantesco, o Columbiad, capaz de lançar um projétil até a Lua. O que começa como um experimento matemático e balístico rapidamente se transforma na maior e mais ousada aventura da história humana quando um extravagante aventureiro francês, Michel Ardan, se voluntaria para ser passageiro dentro do projétil oco. Júlio Verne entrega uma obra-prima de ficção científica profética, fundamentada matematicamente e emocionante, sobre a ambição humana, a maravilha científica e o sonho audacioso de conquistar o espaço. Escrito quase um século antes das missões Apollo, este romance explora até onde a engenhosidade humana pode chegar quando impulsionada por paixão, engenharia e um toque de loucura.
