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.
Undermajordomo minor
En Anglais – Lucy Minor is the resident odd duck in the hamlet of Bury. He is a compulsive liar, a sickly weakling in a town famous for begetting brutish giants. Then Lucy accepts employment assisting the majordomo of the remote, foreboding Castle Von Aux. While tending to his new post as undermajordomo, he soon discovers the place harbours many dark secrets, not least of which is the whereabouts of the castle's master, Baron Von Aux. Thus begins a tale of polite theft, bitter heartbreak, domestic mystery, and cold-blooded murder. Undermajordomo Minor is an ink-black comedy of manners, an adventure, and a mystery, and a searing portrayal of rural Alpine bad behaviour, but above all it is a love story. And Lucy must be careful, for love is a violent thing.
Cool !
En Anglais – One day Robbie is hit by a car while running after his dog, Lucky. Unconscious, Robbie lies in hospital, unable to speak, move or eat. But he can hear; he is aware. His friends and family try desperately to reach him – even Zola, his favourite Chelsea footballer, comes to see him. And still Robbie can’t ‘wake up’. Until one day, against hospital rules, Dad brings Lucky into the hospital. Can Lucky bring Robbie back to life ?
L’équipage
Un équipage d'aviateurs pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, c'est un pilote, chargé de manoeuvrer l'avion, et un observateur, qui examine le terrain. Et l'un des meilleurs équipages de l'escadrille de Jonchery est celui de Jean Herbillon et de Claude Maury. Le jeune Herbillon rêvait d'exploits à son arrivée au front ; quelques mois ont suffi à le désenchanter. Claude, ancien fantassin, espère que son prestige de pilote lui permettra de reconquérir la femme qu'il aime. Les deux hommes ont noué une amitié fusionnelle. Jusqu'à ce que Jean apprenne que son coéquipier et lui sont amoureux de la même femme… Leur rivalité va-t-elle détruire le lien irremplaçable qui unit l'équipage ? Avec cette oeuvre, inspirée par sa propre expérience de héros de l'aviation pendant la Grande Guerre, Kessel livre un hymne bouleversant au courage et à la fraternité.
