Pán Scrooge je známy ako lakomec a jeho chamtivosť nepozná hraníc. Dokonca ani na Vianoce sa jeho tvrdé srdce neobmäkčí, len podráždene a s kyslým výrazom na tvári sleduje predvianočný zhon. Nečakaná a tajuplná návšteva, ktorá ho vyľaká, však mnohé zmení. Navštívi ho Marley, jeho dávny obchodný partner, čo by však nebolo nič neobvyklé, keby Marley nebol dávno mŕtvy. A nebude to len duch Marleyho, ale pána Scroogea prídu osobne pozrieť aj ďalšie prízraky. Štedrý deň sa neúprosne blíži a s ním možnosť vykúpenia. Prehodnotí Scrooge svoj doterajší život, alebo sa bude naďalej utápať v pocitoch odporu a nenávisti? Najkrajší príbeh veľkého anglického rozprávača " Vianočná koleda" z roku 1843 aj v súčasnosti dokáže zaujať a osloviť čitateľov po celom svete.

Není pochyb o tom, že hrdinka románu Pýcha a předsudek, Lízinka, je sama Jane Austenová (1775-1817). Přestože prožila tak typicky nekonfliktní život (nikdy se neprovdala a jediné nabídnutí k sňatku prý během hodiny důrazně odmítla), neobráží se v jejím díle žádná osudová hořkost. Zdá se, že se ze své pozice dcery bez věna, a tudíž dívky bez zvláštních šancí na lepší sňatek, spíš nesmírně bavila – asi jako člověk, který v divadle sleduje zábavnou komedii. Přidáním ironického podtextu posunula románovou tvorbu ze sfér naivního realismu o několik generaci kupředu. Víc než půldruhého století je doba, která dovedla pohltit stovky literárních děl, jimž se při zrodu prorokovala nesmrtelnost; a byla to díla s daleko efektnějšími a vzrušivějšími náměty než Pýcha a předsudek. Jemné kouzlo Jane Austenové má svůj stálý vděčný okruh čtenářů a každá nová generace autorčin odkaz objevuje po svém, v nových barevných odstínech a v novém lesku.

In the fall of 1639, Roger Ludlow, a founder of the colony of Connecticut, led a small group of men and a large herd of cattle to the shore of Long Island Sound, where they established a settlement that became known as Fairfield. With this exciting new photographic history, the members of the Fairfield Historical Society have created a unique look back in time. More than 200 rare photographs in this book document the dramatic changes that have occurred in Fairfield's landscape and population during the last 130 years of its 350-year history. Agriculture dominated Fairfield's economy from its founding to the mid-nineteenth century. With the rise of neighboring Bridgeport as an industrial center in the 1860s to 1920s, laborers and business owners moved to Fairfield, and the once-rural landscape was transformed into suburban home lots. Today the town's population is a vibrant mix of commuters, local business people, and young families.

In the Atlantic Ocean, hurricane Helena is gathering strength, becoming the most powerful storm in recorded history. As Helena bears down on Bermuda, Donovan Nash, along with other members of the scientific research organization Eco-Watch, are called to fly in and extract key government people who have been studying Helena. For Donovan Nash, the routine mission turns deadly when an attempt is made on the life of the lead scientist. A woman from the past, Dr. Lauren McKenna, is suddenly thrust back into his life. With 300 mph winds and waves over 90 feet, Helena marches relentlessly for the vulnerable east coast of the United States. In a bold attempt to diffuse the power of the hurricane, Eco-Watch is called upon to conduct a final flight above the massive fury, where the jet suffers a catastrophic engine failure. Now the only option is to maneuver the crippled airplane into the calm of Helena's eye.
