His cabinet team is adequate (just), the howling protests of the doctors after the GP changes has finally died down and, best of all, the Australian Greens are in receivership.

How do you deal with a party that doesn't play by the rules, protests in the nude, sends mail by carrier pigeon and has a list of candidates all called Ned Ludd?

Au XIXe siècle, le périple d'une Française exilée en terre slave. Un destin tumultueux et aventurier marqué par un amour inconditionnel pour la Russie. "L'hiver revint avec ses troïkas, les chevaux résistant aux intempéries, frangés de glace, et soufflant des jets de fumée.

Diese Spuren kann womöglich nur ein Mensch entschlüsseln: Gibson Vaughn, der mit Suzanne aufwuchs und die für ihn wie eine kleine Schwester war.

El humor se convierte en el arma que se defiende de la opresión, la injusticia, y la violencia. El gran solitario de Palacio es una obra sobre México, y sin embargo tiene algo del efecto globalizador que caracterizó al Boom latinoamericano: escrita en México, París, y Madrid, se publicó por primera vez en 1971 en Argentina; y de alguna manera representa una realidad que se ha repetido una y otra vez en la historia de Latinoamérica.
