John Griffith London was an American novelist, journalist, and social activist. A pioneer of commercial fiction and American magazines, he was one of the first American authors to become an international celebrity and earn a large fortune from writing. He was also an innovator in the genre that would later become known as science fiction. His most famous works include The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both set in the Klondike Gold Rush, as well as the short stories "To Build a Fire", "An Odyssey of the North", and "Love of Life". He also wrote about the South Pacific in stories such as "The Pearls of Parlay", and "The Heathen". London was part of the radical literary group "The Crowd" in San Francisco and a passionate advocate of unionization, workers' rights, and socialism. He wrote several works dealing with these topics, such as his dystopian novel The Iron Heel, his non-fiction exposé The People of the Abyss, War of the Classes, and Before Adam. London died November 22, 1916, in a sleeping porch in a cottage on his ranch. London's ashes were buried on his property not far from the Wolf House. The grave is marked by a mossy boulder. The buildings and property were later preserved as Jack London State Historic Park, in Glen Ellen, California.

Pulp fiction just got a whole lot scarier... Few books ever become loved. Most linger on undead, their sallow pages labyrinths of old, brittle stories and screeds of forgotten knowledge... And other things, besides: Paper-pale forms rustle softly through their leaves. Ink-dark shapes swarming in shadow beneath faded type. And an invitation... Harris delights in collecting the unloved. He wonders if you'd care to donate. A small something for the odd, pale children no-one has seen. An old book, perchance? Neat is sweet; battered is better. Broken spine or torn binding, stained or scarred - ugly doesn't matter. Not a jot. And if you've left a little of yourself between the pages - a receipt or ticket, a mislaid letter, a scrawled note or number - that's just perfect. He might call on you again. Hangover Square meets Naked Lunch through the lens of a classic M. R. James ghost story. To hell and back again (and again) through Whitby, Scarborough and the Yorkshire Moors. Enjoy your Mobius-trip. Bartholomew Richard Emenike Bennett was born in Leicester, the middle son of an American father and English mother. He has studied and worked in the US and New Zealand, and has a First Class Honours degree in Literature from the University of East Anglia. The Pale Ones is his first published work, although he has been writing fiction, long-form and short, since 2002.

John Wilkes Booth, a handsome, well-known stage actor, made his own plans for the theater that night. He planned to assassinate Lincoln. #3 When Lincoln was assassinated, his guard was outside the theater drinking with friends. Booth peered through the peephole and saw that the president was alone in the box. He shot Lincoln, then stabbed a military officer who tried to stop him as he leaped from the box to the stage. #4 For decades, the family of John Wilkes Booth has claimed that he died in a barn. However, other relatives have stated that he actually lived for many years after the assassination.

Intimement liée à la vie économique et sociale, la Poste s'intègre en effet - inévitablement - dans la vie du pays, et son Histoire est un reflet particulier de l'Histoire des civilisations. Or, l'installation à Lyon d'un premier relais de poste, remonte à 1481. En février 1611, fut décidé de la création d'un véritable service de messagerie, assurant des liaisons régulières avec plusieurs grandes villes de France. Georges Chapier dédicace donc ce livre aux philatélistes, aux marcophiles et à tous ceux qui s'intéressent à l'Histoire de la ville de Lyon.
