The black country
En Anglais – When members of a prominent family disappear from a coal-mining village—and a human eyeball is discovered in a bird’s nest—the local constable sends for help from Scotland Yard’s new Murder Squad. Fresh off the grisly 1889 murders of The Yard, Inspector Walter Day and Sergeant Nevil Hammersmith respond, but they have no idea what they’re about to get into. The villagers have intense, intertwined histories. Everybody bears a secret. Superstitions abound. And the village itself is slowly sinking into the mines beneath it. Not even the arrival of forensics pioneer Dr. Bernard Kingsley seems to help. In fact, the more the three of them investigate, the more they realize they may never be allowed to leave . . . .

En Anglais – The definitive study of one of America’s most unusual experiments in establishing the ideal society. Introduction by Joseph Schiffman
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.
Boule de suif
Rouen, occupé par les Prussiens, durant la guerre de 1870. Des bourgeois tentent de fuir la ville en diligence. Parmi eux se trouve une prostituée, celle qu’on surnomme Boule de suif. Tous vont abuser de sa générosité et la forcer à céder au chantage sexuel d’un Prussien. Maupassant dresse ici un portrait inégalé de l’hypocrisie et de la lâcheté humaines. Il condamne sans appel la guerre et la classe dirigeante, paternaliste et profiteuse. Il nous communique toute sa tendresse pour une fille au grand coeur, symbole d’une résistance vouée à l’échec.
