Gérard Lacase raconte un séjour qu'il fit à la Quartfourche afin de consulter des documents qui devaient l'aider à terminer sa thèse sur « la chronologie des sermons de Bossuet ». Mais les papiers que lui fournit M. Floche, qui l'accueille à la Quartfourche, l'intéressent bien moins qu'un portrait dont il tombe amoureux : celui d'Isabelle.

"When it comes to the trials and triumphs of becoming a grown up, journalist and former Sunday Times dating columnist Dolly Alderton has seen and tried it all. In this book, she vividly recounts falling in love, wrestling with self-sabotage, finding a job, throwing a socially disastrous Rod-Stewart themed house party, getting drunk, getting dumped, realising that Ivan from the corner shop is the only man you've ever been able to rely on, and finding...

Dans les halles grouillantes de Paris, le cœur battant de la ville, se croisent les destins des marchands, des ouvriers et des rêveurs. Émile Zola nous plonge au sein de ce marché foisonnant avec "Le Ventre de Paris", o il dépeint avec une précision réaliste la vie quotidienne et les luttes sociales du Second Empire. À travers les yeux de Florent, un idéaliste injustement accusé, nous découvrons un monde de contrastes, de saveurs et de...

Charles Bukowski turns to the bottle in this revelatory collection of poetry and prose that includes some of the writer's best and most lasting work. A self-proclaimed "dirty old man," Bukowski used alcohol as muse and as fuel, a conflicted relationship responsible for some of his darkest moments as well as some of his most joyful...

I believe that we all have had situations when we have struggled between doing what is right or wrong, being generous or selfish, demonstrating initiative or procrastination, being caring or obtuse, and being...

Beloved one, write. Write it all out, in any alphabet, in any language, in any form that comes from your magnificent heart, for this is where the healing is. May the strength, resilience, sweetness and beauty of the wild honeysuckle find you.

An American writer joins her husband, a contractor/consultant working in Iraq, to live in Amman, Jordan, and keeps a diary of day-to-day events. Out of this emerge so many stories of the pain and frustration of a forgotten world dating from a half-century earlier-the Palestinians who fled Israel in the '48 and '67 wars. In both cases - whether the Iraqi war or the Israeli-Palestinian conflict - she finds herself squarely within the enemy camp and...

Libro de reflexiones, dedicado a la memoria de mis padres. Luchando con el otro infierno que está dentro de cada uno de nosotros. El bicho hombre es un ser doble en el cual uno de los dos lados se divierte atormentando y el otro pasa todo el tiempo defendiéndose, mientras el tiempo discretamente pasa y los evita a ambos. Pero es más complicado dejar de oirse cuando nos comprendemos. Es complicado intentar convencer a una persona de que está errada...

During his two-year residence at Walden Pond, Henry David Thoreau became keenly aware of the natural world that surrounded him.

This book, originally published as Notes on New England Birds in 1910 and edited and arranged by Francis H. Allen, collects Thoreau's thoughts on the various bird species...
