Leaves of grass and selected prose
En anglais – … » I’ve been reading bits and pieces of this mammoth collection for decades. Though I haven’t finished every last page, I’ve completed the lion’s share of the famous sections and will keep whittling away on the rest. » …

Man and Superman, Arms and the Man, …..
En Anglais – 1898. Most of Shaw’s early plays were either banned by the censor or refused production. With Plays: Pleasant and Unpleasant he sought a reading audience. He also began the practice of writing the challenging, mocking, eloquent prefaces to his plays, which were sometimes longer than the play itself. This volume contains the Unpleasant: Widowers’ Houses; The Philanderer; and Mrs. Warren’s Profession.
La cote sauvage
Après deux ans de service militaire, Olivier revient passer ses vacances dans la maison de famille bretonne, où l’attendent sa mère et ses deux sœurs. La plus jeune, Anne, à laquelle il est tendrement attaché depuis l’enfance, lui apprend qu’elle va épouser Pierre, le meilleur ami d’Olivier. Quand Pierre les rejoint en Bretagne, Olivier, sacrifiant leur amitié, va tenter d’empêcher le mariage ; il décourage sa sœur, inquiète et humilie Pierre. Pourquoi veut-il que sa sœur Anne reste auprès de lui ? Est-ce un amour qui n’ose pas dire son nom ? Olivier arrivera-t-il à changer comme la saison et à redécouvrir l’autre versant de sa vie ? Il est capable de tout, silencieusement, même de se tuer, et le paysage doux, de brume et de soleil voilé, ne sera peut-être plus que le cadre ultime de sa vie.
Il poeta
En italien – Jack McEvoy fa il reporter di nera. La morte è il suo mestiere. Ma questa volta la morte gli porta una storia che non avrebbe mai voluto scrivere e un mistero che vuole risolvere a tutti i costi. Là fuori, in agguato, c'è un serial killer astuto e feroce, un perverso assassino, un meticoloso discepolo del male. Le sue vittime sono tutte poliziotti, agenti della omicidi. E il suo biglietto da visita è un verso di Edgar Allan Poe. La sua vittima è stata il fratello di McEvoy e la sua prossima… potrebbe essere lui stesso.
Sister Carrie
En anglais – When a girl leaves her home at eighteen, she does one of two things. Either she falls into saving hands and becomes better, or she rapidly assumes the cosmopolitan standard of virtue and becomes worse. The tale of Carrie Meeber’s rise to stardom in the theatre and George Hurstwood’s slow decline captures the twin poles of exuberance and exhaustion in modern city life as never before. The premier example of American naturalism, Dreiser’s remarkable first novel has deeply influenced such key writers as William Faulkner, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Saul Bellow, and Joyce Carol Oates. This edition uses the 1900 text, which is regarded as the author’s final version.
