Happy birthday / Danielle Steel ; traduzione di Berta Maria Pia Smiths-Jacob
Milano : Sperling & Kupfer, 2012
Abstract: Bella, elegante e raffinata, Valerie Wyatt non è solo una famosa arredatrice di interni ma anche una vera regina di stile, con uno show in onda tutti i giorni. E allora perché è così infelice? Forse perché gli abiti costosi, le ore trascorse in palestra e le cure dei migliori parrucchieri di New York non possono nascondere un'innegabile verità: Valerie sta per compiere sessant'anni. E si sente terribilmente sola. Anche Aprii, sua figlia, si sente sola. Proprietaria di un ristorante alla moda, che assorbe tutte le sue energie, non ha tempo da dedicare agli amici o all'amore. Si ritrova così, alla vigilia del suo trentesimo compleanno, a fare un bilancio della vita troppo solitaria che conduce e a porsi l'unica domanda a cui non sa dare una risposta: dove ho sbagliato? Ma, all'improvviso, una tragedia sconvolge le giornate di Valerie e Aprii, costringendole a fare i conti con gli errori del passato e con due uomini molto speciali. E insegnando loro che, a volte, basta soffiare sulle candeline ed esprimere il desiderio giusto perché tutti i sogni si realizzino. Anche quelli più inaspettati. Dalla penna di Danielle Steel, una storia dolce e amara sul potere che ha la vita di regalarci sempre sorprese meravigliose.

Abstract: Jane Austen's sparkling and flawless comic masterpiece is the story of Emma Woodhouse- rich, charming, spoilt, obsessed with matchmaking and blind to everyone's faults - including her own. Although Austen described Emma as a character 'whom no one but myself will much like', her wit and her gradual self-realization make her one of the author's most remarkable, believably imperfect heroines.

Painting and drawing in Waldorf schools : classes 1-8 / Thomas Wildgruber
Edinburgh : Floris Books, 2012
Abstract: Painting and drawing are key artistic expressions which play an important role in children's physical, emotional and spiritual development. This comprehensive teachers' manual provides a complete artistic curriculum for Classes One to Eight in Steiner-Waldorf schools (age six to fourteen). At each stage, the book demonstrates the skills that teachers can help children to develop. There are 280 practical exercises for teachers to use, and over 800 drawings and paintings as inspiring examples of artistic possibilities. The curriculum moves from free drawing, to guided colour exercises, to precise perspective drawing. The exercises draw on elements of the Steiner-Waldorf curriculum at appropriate ages, incorporating themes from fables and legends, the Old Testament, Norse mythology, animals, Ancient Greece and botany. Throughout, the author draws on art theory and shows that art is truly a universal language. The book is also suitable for adult self-study.
The Picture of Dorian Gray / Oscar Wilde

When he wishes that a perfect portrait of himself would bear the signs of ageing in his place, the picture becomes his hideous secret, as it follows Dorian's own downward spiral into cruelty and depravity. The Picture of Dorian Gray is a masterpiece of the evil in men's hearts, and is as controversial and alluring as Wilde himself.
