Begleitet wird das Leben auf dem Platz vom unermüdlichen Klavierspiel des geheimnisvollen Fremden, der in die Mansarde gegenüber eingezogen ist. Doch obwohl Susanna hier ein Zuhause und eine Familie gefunden hat, lastet auf ihrem sonnigen Gemüt eine große Sehnsucht …

A hundred years ago in the Himalayan peaks of Nanvi Dar, the daughter of an English earl is kidnapped by a huge hairy monster. In a secret valley, Agatha Farley is introduced to a family of motherless yetis and dedicates her life to their upbringing, teaching them to speak, sharing stories, and instilling polite manners. As decades pass, the arrival of tourists, a hotel, and yeti-hunters threaten their existence. Agatha realizes that her ancestral home, Farley Towers, is their best chance for protection. When a boy and his sister discover her hidden valley, she sees them as the brave allies needed to execute her plan. The yetis are smuggled into the hotel’s bridal suite, but a baby yak's affection for the youngest yeti disrupts their escape plan, leading to a wildly entertaining road trip across the world. In the Sultan of Aslerfan's kingdom, the yetis liberate zoo animals; in the Alps, they save a lost child from a blizzard; and in Spain, the yak causes chaos at a bullfight. However, upon reaching England, they face an unexpected shock at Farley Towers. This early, unpublished work showcases the humor, lovable characters, intricate plotting, and themes of kindness and tolerance that define the author's later successes.

V knize Myšlení a pohyb shromáždil Bergson své nejcennější statě a přednášky z let 1903 až 1920 a sám je doplnil rozsáhlým úvodem, který lze považovat za syntetický výklad základních myšlenek jeho filosofie. Celý soubor vyšel poprvé v Paříži roku 1934 a je poslední knihou autora, jenž ve své závěti výslovně zakázal veškerou posmrtnou publikaci jiných článků a rukopisů než těch, které za svého života sám uveřejnil v knižní podobě. Bergson v tomto díle završuje svůj ambiciózní plán na proměnu metody filosofického uvažování, na nějž vztahuje v prvé řadě požadavek přesnosti. „Nic dosud nechybělo filosofii tolik jako přesnost“, říká v úvodu své knihy. Nejedná se však o přesnost matematickou, nýbrž o co nejvěrnější zachycení plynoucího a proměnlivého trvání skutečnosti. Z tohoto stanoviska Bergson kritizuje prázdnou formálnost filosofických systémů, které přehlížejí tu nejzákladnější lidskou zkušenost, totiž vnitřní prožívání času. Myšlení a pohyb je proto nepostradatelnou knihu pro všechny, kteří chtějí proniknout k samému jádru inspirace literárního modernismu, který se v Bergsonových šlépějích pokouší o zachycení proudu vědomí v jeho složitosti a mnohotvárnosti.
