A whiff of death
En Anglais – Everyone knew that Ralph Neufeld was a careful young chemist, especially his professor, Lou Brade. That’s why Ralph’s accidental demise due to a confusion of chemicals struck Brade, as well as the police, as highly unlikely. Someone on campus had, somehow, switched bottles on poor Neufeld, and the result was as deadly as had been planned. The trouble was all the right suspects were in the wrong places when it happened…all the wrong suspects had the right motives…and the one person most qualified to solve the crime was already being considered the killer!
Dans son ouvrage, les pouvoirs secrets de l’homme, le professeur Robert Tocquet rapporte ce propos de Jacques Chevalier, doyen de la faculté des lettres de Grenoble: « La croyance généralement persistante aux fantomes et auxx revenants semblerait dificilement explicable si elle était dénuée de tout fondement réel. Il faut donc examiner impartialement les faits » .
Martha Quest
En Anglais – Intelligent, sensitive, and fiercely passionate, Martha Quest is a young woman living on a farm in Africa, feeling her way through the torments of adolescence and early womanhood. She is a romantic idealistic in revolt against the puritan snobbery of her parents, trying to live to the full with every nerve, emotion, and instinct laid bare to experience. For her, this is a time of solitary reading daydreams, dancing — and the first disturbing encounters with sex. The first of Doris Lessing’s timeless Children of Violence novels, Martha Quest is an endearing masterpiece.
En Anglais – A beautifully written book about the life of the incredibly brilliant and gifted D.H. Lawrence. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to learn more of the man and read some of his most glorious writing.
