** WINNER OF THE L.A. TIMES BOOK PRIZE FOR BIOGRAPHY **American writer Stephen Crane died in 1900 at the age of 28. In his short, intense life, this burning boy wrote a masterpiece, The Red Badge of Courage, as well as other novels, short stories, and dispatches from the front of two wars. His adventurous life took him to the Wild West, Mexico, then to Cuba during the Spanish American War - dodging bullets which killed those around him, and suffering shipwreck on his way home.Fleeing America because of a scandalous love affair, his last 18 months were spent in Britain where he became a close friends of H.G. Wells, Henry James and, especially, Joseph Conrad.Auster 's intention is to restore Crane to the pantheon of Modernist 20th century authors such as Conrad.Through Auster's skill as a novelist, Crane leaps off the page, and into the reader's heart.

Trilogie new-yorkaise. Cité de verre ; Revenants ; La chambre dérobée
De toutes les qualités qui ont justifié le succès de la Trilogie new-yorkaise, l'art de la narration est sans doute la plus déterminante. C'est qu'il suffit de s'embarquer dans la première phrase d'un de ces trois romans pour être emporté dans les péripéties de l'action et étourdi jusqu'au vertige par les tribulations des personnages. Très vite pourtant, le thriller prend une allure de quête métaphysique et la ville, illimitée, insaisissable, devient un gigantesque échiquier où Auster dispose ses pions pour mieux nous parler de dépossession.Sur commande en 2-4 joursCOMMANDER10,20 € -

Ariel VO
The poems in Sylvia Plath's Ariel, including many of her best-known such as 'Lady Lazarus', 'Daddy', 'Edge' and 'Paralytic', were all written between the publication in 1960 of Plath's first book, The Colossus, and her death in 1963.'If the poems are despairing, vengeful and destructive, they are at the same time tender, open to things, and also unusually clever, sardonic, hardminded . . . They are works of great artistic purity and, despite all the nihilism, great generosity . . . the book is a major literary event.' A. Alvarez in the ObserverThis beautifully designed edition forms part of a series with five other cherished poets, including Wendy Cope, Don Paterson, Philip Larkin, Simon Armitage and Alice Oswald.Sur commande en 6-10 joursCOMMANDER17,00 € -
The journals of Sylvia PLath 1950-1962
The Journals of Sylvia Plath offers an intimate portrait of the author of the extraordinary poems for which Plath is so widely loved, but it is also characterized by a prose of vigorous immediacy which places it alongside The Bell Jar as a work of literature. These exact and complete transcriptions of the journals kept by Plath for the last twelve years of her life - covering her marriage to Ted Hughes and her struggle with depression - are a key source for the poems which make up her collections Ariel and The Colossus.'Everything that passes before her eyes travels down from brain to pen with shattering clarity - 1950s New England, pre-co-ed Cambridge, pre-mass tourism Benidorm, where she and Hughes honeymooned, the birth of her son Nicholas in Devon in 1962. These and other passages are so graphic that you look up from the page surprised to find yourself back in the here and now . . . The struggle of self with self makes the Journals compelling and unique.' John Carey, Sunday TimesSur commande en 6-10 joursCOMMANDER26,00 € -

On the night of the Endless Moon, the Erlking means to capture one of the seven gods and so be reunited with his lover, Perchta, who has been banished to the underworld. But it soon becomes clear that the Eriking's hunger for vengeance won't be satisfied with a single wish, and his true intentions have the power to alter the mortal realm forever.

As the evil forces gather, it seems only their love is strong enough to sustain them...Sur commande en 6-10 joursCOMMANDER9,81 €

THE PARIS LABYRINTH
In turn-of-the-twentieth-century France, Vincent-an ingenious designer of secret passages-embarks on a thrilling adventure to unlock ancient mysteries in a quest for lost treasure. Along the way, he battles against dark forces as he tries to discern who he can trust, while racing against the clock. Vincent knows what it means to keep a secret. With his troupe of talented craftsmen-his only family-he designs hidden compartments for priceless treasures and passages for undetectable escape routes. The rich and powerful who hire him pay handsomely for his work-and for his discretion. As Paris hosts the 1889 World's Fair, the city fills with visitors who come to see the controversial new Eiffel Tower with its gravitydefying elevators, to discover the latest inventions from across the globe, or to scout for prospective investment opportunities. After Vincent takes on an urgent secret mission, his team suddenly becomes the target of attempted assassinations. In a race against time, as death licks at their heels, they puzzle over who could be behind the violence. A client trying to erase tracks to a secret ? The dark forces of the occult somehow provoked by their work ? Confronted with mysteries uncovered from the past, and a life-or-death challenge that tests the limits of his ability, Vincent will do everything in his power to thwart the menace and protect his friends ... if only he can survive.Sur commande en 2-4 joursCOMMANDER24,90 € -
