In this thy day
En Anglais – In « In this thy land » (1945) McLaverty explores the effects of the famine on the consciousness of the Irish rural poor after the passage of the Wyndham Land Act (1903) enabled to possess land. For them, it symbolized autonomy, social respectability, and the ability to resist the disasters and starvation of the past …..
Earthly powers
En Anglais – Anthony Burgess, author of A Clockwork Orange, is regarded as one of the most original and daring writers in the English language. His work is illuminated by a dazzling imagination, by a gift for character and plot, by a talent for surprise. In Earthly Powers Burgess created his masterpiece. At its center are two twentieth-century men who represent different kinds of power—Kenneth Toomey, eminent novelist, a man who has outlived his contemporaries to survive into honored, bitter, luxurious old age as a celebrity of dubious notoriety; and Don Carlo Campanati, a man of God, eventually beloved Pope, who rises through the Vatican as a shrewd manipulator to become the architect of church revolution and a candidate for sainthood. Through the lives of these two modern men Burgess explores the very essence of power. As each pursues his career—one to sainthood, one to wealthy exile—their relationship becomes the heart of a narrative that incorporates almost everyone of fame and distinction in the social, literary, and political life of America and Europe. This astonishing company is joined together by the art of a great novelist into an explosive and entertaining tour de force that will captivate fans of sweeping historic fiction.
The mottled lizard
En Anglais – This sequel to THE FLAME TREES OF THIKA continues the story of Elspeth Huxley’s childhood in Kenya. British settlers, called to serve in WW I, return to their neglected farms and ranches. For Tilly and Robin it is back to the struggle. For their daughter, now 11, it is back to the ponies, lessons at home, wild pets (this time a cheetah named Rupert), and hunting trips with Njombo, the Kikuyu headman. But more is happening. The child narrator is growing into a woman. We lose the wide-eyed child narrator of Thika, but gain in her place a thoughtful and prescient observer of the rapidly changing continent.
L’Allée du Roi
De sa naissance dans une prison de Niort à sa mort dans le doux asile de Saint-Cyr, de l’obscure pauvreté de son enfance antillaise à la magnificence de la Cour, de la couche d’un poète infirme et libertin à celle du Roi-Soleil, de la compagnie joyeuse de Ninon de Lenclos au parti pris de dévotion de l’âge mûr, quel roman que cette vie ! Dans le personnage et le destin de Françoise d’Aubigné, marquise de Maintenon, qu’on surnomma « la belle Indienne », se reflètent les aspects contradictoires du « Grand Siècle », dissimulés sous l’apparence immuable de la majesté royale. À partir d’une documentation considérable et en recourant aux nombreux écrits, souvent inédits, de Mme de Maintenon, Françoise Chandernagor a voulu restituer le vrai visage de ce témoin intelligent et sensible. C’est à la découverte d’une femme belle avec esprit, ambitieuse avec dignité, secrète avec sincérité, raisonnable avec passion, que nous entraîne L’Allée du Roi.
