CHOSEN FOR THE DUCHESS OF CORNWALL'S READING ROOM BOOK CLUB 'A wartime thriller featuring a resourceful woman in grave danger... a great read' – HRH The Duchess of Cornwall It is 1939. Eva Delectorskaya is a beautiful 28-year-old Russian émigrée living in Paris. As war breaks out she is recruited for the British Secret Service by Lucas Romer, a mysterious Englishman, and under his tutelage she learns to become the perfect spy, to mask her emotions and trust no one, including those she loves most.

Now she must complete one final assignment, and this time Eva can't do it alone: she needs her daughter's help.
Famous in Belgium since the 1990s for his metal furniture and the interior design of commercial and private spaces, Xavier Lust quickly entered the inner sanctum of international design. Since 'Le Banc' marketed by MDF Italia, he has worked with this manufacturer as well as with world famous brands such as De Padova, Driade, Moroso and Extremis. Given the VIZO Henry Van de Velde Award for Young Talent in 2003, his furniture is identifiable thanks to a tension in the design that is his trademark. His work of (de)formation of metallic surfaces opens new fields of applications: modern furniture, tableware, the world of bath design, lighting, the casings of electronic products... His talent is to associate creativity on paper and 3D simulation with a subtle approach in the field. 250 colour illustrations

This book is published to coincide with an exhibition of the same name in the Museum Félicien Rops and the Maison de la Culture in Namur. The central theme is the tree, from ancient times to present day art. The tree has always been a source of attraction to men: mystery, protection and veneration. From the trees of good and evil in manuscripts dating back to the Middle Ages, up to the symbolist vision of nineteenth-century artists, the tree has intrigued and fascinated. In our time, contemporary artists continue to be inclined towards this natural element, attempting to grasp its essence. The theme is an inexhaustible source of inspiration to various artistic disciplines, from painting and sculpture to video and photography. Text in English and French. 75 colour illustrations
Ursprünglich waren Pudel apportierende Jagdhunde, spezialisiert auf die Wasserjagd. Der Name kommt vom alt-deutschen puddeln und bedeutet im Wasser planschen. Es wird gesagt, er hätte in seiner Geschichte auch als Hütehund gedient, was aber nicht bewiesen ist.

Jedes Jahr werden mehr als 2000 Pudel-Welpen in die Zuchtbücher des VDH eingetragen - ein guter Beweis für die Beliebtheit dieser besonderen Rasse, die in 4 Größen und verschiedenen Farben gezüchtet wird. Dieses Buch beschreibt Ihnen Wesen...
