Harry Potter, I : Harry Potter à l'école des sorciers [Livre Audio (French Edition)
Mrs Dursley, quant à elle, était mince et blonde et disposait d'un cou deux fois plus long que la moyenne, ce qui lui était fort utile pour espionner ses voi­sins en regardant par-dessus les clôtures des jardins. En fait, Mrs Dursley faisait comme si elle était fille unique, car sa soeur et son bon à rien de mari étaient aussi éloignés que possible de tout ce qui faisait un Dursley. Les Dursley tremblaient d'épou­vante à la pensée de ce que diraient les voisins si par malheur les Potter se montraient dans leur rue. Après avoir terminé ses études secondaires, elle étudie la littérature française et la philologie à l'université d'Exeter et à la Sorbonne, à Paris. C'est en 1990 que l'idée de Harry Potter et de son école de sorciers germe dans son imagination, lors d'un voyage en train. Vivant dans une situation précaire, elle se plonge dans l'écriture de la première aventure de Harry Potter et termine la rédaction de ce manuscrit qui l'avait accompagnée de Londres à Porto, jusqu'aux cafés d'Édimbourg. J. K. Rowling a également écrit trois petits livres, dont les bénéfices sont reversés à des organisations caritatives, et qui sont comme des ouvrages authentiques sortis tout droit de la bibliothèque de Poudlard : Les Animaux fantastiques, Le Quidditch à travers les âges et Les Contes de Beedle le Barde. Après un OBE (Order of the British Empire, ordre de chevalerie du système honorifique britannique) pour ses services rendus à la littérature enfantine, J. K. Rowling a reçu de nombreux prix et décorations, notamment le prix Prince des Asturies de la Concorde, la Légion d'Honneur française et le prix Hans Christian Andersen.

Elvis Presley : L'anthologie des enregistrements des années 60 (5CD audio)
The Essential 60's Masters.
Reviews
"I was looking for the Elvis Presley movie soundtrack for "Tickle Me" and it is not widely available and far too costly at 100s of dollars. So, I wrote down the song track list and started my hunt on Elvis Presley compilation c.d sets and came across this one. Much to my surprise all the song tracks from "Tickle Me" are included on this 5 disc set. This set also includes a 18 page double sided booklet with a comprehensive write up and movie stills."
"Armed with some very strong songs and an even stronger set of musicians he was able to climb right back up the charts. Unfortunately, the people surrounding Elvis had made it all but impossible for him to get fresh songwriting talent. Elvis and the band played right through the weak material and managed to give the listener good performances. This box set is a testament to that time and to a man who loved to sing."
"I really enjoyed the alternate takes on some classics of the late sixties."
"Elvis voice in the 60's is becoming richer, and wider range."
"Great packaging, not going to open, just a great collection add for $17."
"This box set doesn't have the movie song, which I think is awsome."
"Wonderful music from the King, including some songs we had not heard before."
"Great Selection of songs and the recording quality is exceptional."

"To get 9 CDs and 3+ books for $28 is just an unbelievable bargain especially compared to big-name systems which, ironically, consistently get poor reviews and cost much, much more. The main advantage of the Duolingo course is that it is interactive -- you have to type in answers and if you get too many wrong, you have to repeat the lesson. Another thing is that listening to spoken Spanish and reading it at the same doubles your learning capacity as aural and visual input are stored in different parts of the brain and subsequently reinforce each other."
"In contrast to my high school German, I was clearly at my own pace with this study, and I proceeded at one lesson each week, regardless of how easy some seemed (with the exception of numbers, which went more quickly). That being said, if you are not keen on the subjunctive mood, indirect object pronouns and similar grammatical elements as such, the books provide brief descriptions of each as they are encountered."
"I had previously purchased Rosetta Stone which provides no workbooks and the online access costs $14 per month or $89 per year....this after you pay a premium price for something that is no better than this product."
"However, I decided to leave this feedback since Living Language really has to be appreciated for their great method of teaching, their great service and their great price that is very affordable."
