The girl who kicked the hornets’ nest – Millenium III
Lisbeth Salander is plotting her revenge – against the man who tried to kill her, and against the government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life. But it is not going to be a straightforward campaign. After taking a bullet to the head, Salander is under close supervision in Intensive Care, and is set to face trial for three murders and one attempted murder on her eventual release. With the help of journalist Mikael Blomkvist and his researchers at Millennium magazine, Salander must not only prove her innocence, but identify and denounce the corrupt politicians that have allowed the vulnerable to become victims of abuse and violence. Once a victim herself, Salander is now ready to fight back.
Millénium 3 – La reine dans le palais des courants d’air
Après avoir échappé de peu à la mort, Lisbeth Salander se remet difficilement de ses blessures dans une chambre d’hôpital. Incapable physiquement d’agir, elle a de surcroît été placée en isolement et sous surveillance policière, car elle est encore sous le coup de plusieurs chefs d’accusation. La voilà coincée, donc, mais pas inactive, d’autant qu’un patient soigné dans une chambre voisine a de très sérieux et très anciens comptes à régler avec elle… De son côté, Mikael Blomkvist se démène pour innocenter et réhabiliter la jeune femme. Ses recherches lèvent le voile sur les plus inavouables activités de certains services secrets, mais les sombres personnages autour desquels se resserre son enquête ne vont pas se laisser menacer sans réagir. Le troisième volume de Millénium promet poussées d’adrénaline, insoutenable suspense et scènes terribles, mais la pire épreuve pour le lecteur consistera à se séparer des personnages à la fin de ce dernier volet de l’irrésistible trilogie.
Adam Runaway
En Anglais – « It is 1721 and young Adam Hanaway, devastated by his father’s sudden death, leaves England to seek his fortune in Lisbon, where his uncle is a successful merchant. But almost nothing turns out as Adam planned. His family’s welcome is cool, and Adam’s rise to the top is thwarted by Bartolomeu Gomes, his uncle’s treacherous clerk. » « As Adam attempts to overcome these obstacles he is handicapped by a certain personal trait. Not, he insists, that he is a coward exactly, but he is inclined to boldly put himself in dangerous situations and then at the last minute run away from them – hence the nickname given to him by friends who had observed this failing once too often. » « While Adam’s mother and sisters wait in England for him to rescue them from poverty, Adam is preoccupied with more compelling women: the beautiful, older half-Portuguese lady Maria Beatriz Hutchinson; the spoiled, rich Gabriella Lowther; and his charming young cousin Nancy. But Adam commits a social faux pas so severe he forever ruins his chances for making a good match – yet no one dares tell him what he has done wrong! » « Adam certainly has a lot to learn. …
