Po przybyciu do ciepłych krajów, jaskółka zostawia Poucette w sercu kwiatu, gdzie czeka na nią książę, znacznie bardziej czarujący niż syn żaby i nudny kret!

Thirty-five years after his death in Paris at age twenty-seven, Jim Morrison's iconic legend remains as powerful as ever, swathed in the mists of mystery. There have been numerous biographies about the self-proclaimed "Lizard King's" life and career. But none have examined his roots and childhood, the intellectual foundations of his music, his wild days with the Doors, and his enigmatic early death as completely and insightfully as Break On Through.More than simply a fascinating look at a rock legend whose cult following never stops growing, here is the definitive Morrison biography: his angry relationship with his father; the early tragedies and terrible events responsible for the darkness of his artistic vision; his private life and legal trials, including his infamous Miami obscenity bust; and the truth about his final hours. Based on extensive research and featuring dozens of rarely published photographs, this is the authoritative portrait of the poet, the grim visionary, the haunted man, and his haunting music.

Frank Baum , is part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices, featuring new scholarship, thoughtful design, and crafted extras.

Since its first publication in 1900, Baum’s story of a girl swept away by a tornado to the enchanting Land of Oz has profoundly impacted readers of all ages. As Dorothy travels the yellow brick road to the Emerald City, seeking help from the Great and Terrible Wizard, she embarks on adventures with the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, and Cowardly Lion, confronting a wicked witch and discovering the values of friendship, loyalty, and self-confidence. While scholars have debated the tale's political meanings, Baum aimed to create a “modernized fairy tale” filled with wonder, devoid of heartaches. This classic fantasy adventure resonates with essential qualities every child needs: compassion, courage, and wisdom. With original illustrations by William Wallace Denslow. J. T. Barb
