Story
Based on true events–a companion novella to 47 Days: The True Story of Two Teen Boys Defying Hitler's Reich Solingen, Germany, December 19, 1944: Günter has had it—he is starving. After the bombing of his hometown, even the few food rations, they were getting, are no longer available. On the eve of his sixteenth birthday, he and his friend, Helmut, come across a battalion of returning German soldiers. One offers them his downtrodden military horse, if they can trade civilian clothes. Günter immediately agrees, even if he doesn’t quite know where to find something suitable.

Story
Paris, 1798. Hortense de Beauharnais is engrossed in her studies at a boarding school for aristocratic girls, most of whom suffered tragic losses during the tumultuous days of the French Revolution. She loves to play and compose music, read and paint, and daydream about Christophe, her brother's dashing fellow officer. But Hortense is not an ordinary girl. Her beautiful, charming mother, Josephine, has married Napoleon Bonaparte, soon to become the most powerful man in France, but viewed by Hortense as a coarse, unworthy successor to her elegant father.

Story
Poil de Carotte est un petit garçon roux, dernier d'une famille de trois enfants, issu d'un milieu provincial bourgeois. Il est depuis toujours persécuté par sa mère, entre un père absent et un frère et une sœur indifférents. Poil de Carotte veut comprendre pourquoi sa mère ne l'aime pas, ce qu'il y a derrière cette rousseur qu'elle rejette. Peut-être est-il un enfant adopté ou peut-être n'est-il pas le fils de son père ?
