New Releases by Margaret Mitchell

Set in the historical frame of the War of Secession (1861-1865) and in the times preceding and following the battle, Lo que el viento se llevo is an impassioned novel that is almost impossible to put down. Romanticism, passion, pain, nostalgia and a surprising vitality are embodied in the unforgettable protagonist, Scarlett O''Hara, whose charismatic character, next to personalities like Rhett Butler, the kind-hearted Melly, or Ashley the dreamer, requires no introduction.

The prodigious childhood talent of the author of "Gone With the Wind" is brought to life in this collection of writings published on the 100th anniversary of her birth. 24 photos.

This coursebook comprises a two-stage course covering all aspects of French use in a business environment. Formal and structured, it is one of a series, which is pitched at university students. It provides guided writing, revised reading and listening comprehension, reading passages and extra listening practice. There are also ten new dossiers offering additional language practice, reading material or background information and revised grammar sections. Transcripts of the listening passages are provided.

Until recently, the odd thought Margaret Mitchell had only one story to tell: Gone With the Wind. Now meet a heroine to match Scarlett: Courtenay Ross, a feisty, independent-minded woman, and the two men -- one a cool-headed, well-heeled gentleman, the other a hot-blooded, pugnacious sailor -- who adore her. A tale of yearning, valor, and devotion, Lost Laysen enthralls from its delightful beginning to its unforgettable end. Equally intriguing is the story behind the story -- the real-life romance that inspired Mitchell: how she gave the original manuscript as a gift to her beau. Henry Love Angel, and how the manuscript, along with Mitchell''s intimate letters and treasured photographs, were lovingly safeguarded only to be discovered decades later in a shoebox Lost Laysen is pure magic, a gift for us to cherish from America''s most beloved storyteller.

This is part of a series which covers the NVQ and GNVQ language options in Business, and Leisure & Tourism, and is available in French, German and Spanish. Each course comprises a student book, a resource and assessment file, two presentation cassettes and two consolidation cassettes. End-of-unit progress checks are cross-matched with NVQ criteria for assessment in reading, speaking and writing, and each of the resource files contains photocopiable worksheets and a cassette for preparation and assessment in all four skills.
