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.

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.
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 . . . .
