Man vs Beast
En Anglais – CHERUB agents are all seventeen and under. They wear skate tees and hemp, and look like regular kids. But they're not. They are trained professionals who are sent out on missions to spy on terrorists and international drug dealers. CHERUB agents hack into computers, bug entire houses, and download crucial documents. It is a highly dangerous job. For their safety, these agents DO NOT EXIST. Mainstream animal protection groups have always stayed within the law, but a new band of radical liberationists argues that if humans and animals are equal, then it's right to kill or threaten one human in order to save the lives of many animals. In a new mission, James and the other CHERUB agents must go up against the most radical group yet in a daring and violent attempt to save hundreds of lives… including their own.
La peau
En 1943, Curzio Malaparte, grand correspondant de guerre et officier de liaison auprès des Alliés, se trouve à Naples avec les troupes américaines venues libérer le pays. Entouré de ces hommes fraîchement débarqués en Europe, que les années de combat et de désillusion n’ont pas encore abîmés, l’auteur entreprend une tragique odyssée à travers une Italie en ruine, livrée à la misère et au chaos. Partout on se livre aux plus viles exactions. Comme un écho au tumulte des hommes, le Vésuve entre en éruption, les animaux meurent au supplice, la terre se déchire.
Marie Antoinette
(Reliure toile ornée de l’éditeur) – Destin tragique de la reine Marie-Antoinette sous la plume d’un grand historien, spécialiste des grands personnages. Plus qu’une biographie, c’est l’ Histoire véridique, grâce à des documents inédits provenant des archives nationales. Constamment rééditée, la Marie-Antoinette d’André Castelot est non seulement le plus grand de ses innombrables succès, mais reste sans doute le best-seller des biographies, toutes époques et tous personnages confondus.Près d’un million d’exemplaires vendus en librairie, auxquels s’ajoute le succès stupéfiant de sa traduction américaine (450 000 exemplaires). On s’accorde pour estimer, malgré le temps qui passe et les nombreuses biographies parues depuis, que celle de Castelot ” n’a pas pris une ride “.
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. …
