The world's largest submarine The Neptune is missing, lost somewhere at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. When Willy hears about it, he sets out right away with rambunctious Randolph, his fuzzy teddy, to rescue the crew of The Neptune. Along the way he'll meet Sybil Seagull, The Rightaway Bird and Boris the Blue Whale, who will help him take on Konrad the Killer Kipper who has taken the crew of the Neptune hostage. Can Willy and his new found friends save the crew before they become Konrad's lunch? A delightful children's story from best-selling author, Jeffrey Archer. Jeffrey Archer is a British novelist, Baron and former politician. During his political career, Archer began to write, his second novel `Kane and Abel' becoming an international bestseller. The novel became a mini-series some years later starring Sam Neil. He is the author of the `Clifton Chronicles' as well as a number of short stories and plays, as well as several best-selling children's novels. His best known works include ` First Among Equals', `Kane and Abel' and `Only Time Will Tell'.
Qu'est-ce qui pousse un bonhomme à passer 25 ans de sa vie dans l'esclavage d'un genre ingrat, au service des poètes, alors que toutes ces heures dérobées auraient pu être employées à l'édification, à la fortification d'une oeuvre personnelle ? Voilà une question fondamentale à laquelle je n'ai jamais su répondre, d'où peut-être mon intérêt pour l'homme Dauby ! [...] Le côté militant de Jean, sa conception de l'homme, du poète, avec un certain nombre de valeurs essentielles qui font tant défaut à notre société en cette fin de siècle, où chacun tente de retrouver ses repères : l'écoute, la tolérance, l'acceptation de l'autre, le sens de la parole offerte et cette amitié énorme, en perpétuelle gestation (qui revient dans toutes les bouches et sous toutes les plumes de ceux qui connaissent Jean et Gisèle). Enfin, sa poésie et son regard sur la poésie, qui met en avant la lisibilité et la communication entre les hommes. Le langage, qui va au-delà du langage, point de convergence du verbe et de l'action pour changer la vie, la rendre plus humaine. (Extrait de la préface).
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The British officer class was reluctant to believe that the good life was about to end. They had always been able to depend on the British to defend them, and they underestimated the Japanese military threat. #2 The Wrens were in specially built wooden quarters, two sharing a cabin, and each with the luxury of an ensuite bathroom. They had locally employed servants. The work could be tiring, but the servicemen and women were still very relaxed. #3 The fighting was coming, and the Wrens knew they might get separated. They decided to get married, and four days later, Lillie and Archie Feeney were evacuated to Colombo with the rest of the codebreakers and intercept operators. #4 The fall of Singapore led to the capture of thousands of Allied servicemen, but John Cox had already been evacuated to Java, as had Geoff Day, while John Watson had sailed for Colombo.
