Rêves de montagnes
Résumé : Par l'auteur d'Into the wild et de Tragédie à l'Everest. Fou d'alpinisme, Jon Krakauer nous offre ici le récit de douze aventures en montagne. Il nous entraîne ainsi dans l'ascension du sommet de l'Eiger, de cascades de glace mais aussi sur les parois d'un canyon du Colorado, nous livrant au passage sa vision personnelle - et quelque peu critique - de Chamonix, cette " capitale mondiale de l'alpinisme ". Nous le suivons avec un intérêt qui ne faiblit jamais de l'Alaska à l'Himalaya, des Rocheuses aux Alpes, comme si nous vivions les ascensions en direct à ses côtés. Krakauer a le don rare de restituer l'atmosphère d'un lieu, de nous rendre sensibles à ses spécificités tout en traçant sur le vif le portrait des hommes souvent fascinants qu'il rencontre chemin faisant.ÉPUISÉVOIR PRODUIT19,00 € -
Sur ordre de dieu. Double meurtre au pays des mormonts
Une petite ville plantée dans le sillage de Salt Lake City, le fief de l'Eglise mormone. Le 24 juillet 1984, Allen Lafferty, mormon pratiquant, rentre chez lui après sa journée de travail, dans la maison qu'il habite avec sa jeune épouse et leur bébé de quinze mois. Quand il pousse la porte, l'horreur l'attend : Brenda et sa petite fille ont été sauvagement égorgées. En un instant, Allen est convaincu qu'il connaît les coupables. Et pour cause, ce sont ses frères. A la barre des mois plus tard, Ron et Dan Lafferty ne nieront pas les faits. Pas plus qu'ils n'exprimeront le moindre remords. Les deux Lafferty sont des prophètes, Dieu parle à travers eux, il leur chuchote ses ordres. Pour eux, l'Etat n'existe pas. L'école ? Une machination. La médecine ? Un charlatanisme. Ron et Dan Lafferty ont quitté le giron des mormons pour embrasser une foi chrétienne radicale, dont l'un des piliers n'est autre que la polygamie. Et Brenda Lafferty avait commis l'erreur d'y être opposée... Revenant sur les grandes heures de la fondation de la religion mormone et l'épineux dossier des sectes transfuges qu'elle a fait naître dans ses rangs, le maître de la narrative non fiction interroge les ressorts du fanatisme religieux et exhume l'une des affaires criminelles les plus retentissantes de l'histoire américaine des dernières décennies.ÉPUISÉVOIR PRODUIT22,00 €

FLAUBERT S PARROT
Just what sort of book is Flaubert's Parrot, anyway? A literary biography of 19th-century French novelist, radical, and intellectual impresario Gustave Flaubert? A meditation on the uses and misuses of language? A novel of obsession, denial, irritation, and underhanded connivery? A thriller complete with disguises, sleuthing, mysterious meetings, and unknowing targets? An extended essay on the nature of fiction itself? On the surface, at first, Julian Barnes's book is the tale of an elderly English doctor's search for some intriguing details of Flaubert's life. Geoffrey Braithwaite seems to be involved in an attempt to establish whether a particularly fine, lovely, and ancient stuffed parrot is in fact one originally "borrowed by G. Flaubert from the Museum of Rouen and placed on his worktable during the writing of Un coeur simple, where it is called Loulou, the parrot of Felicité, the principal character of the tale." What begins as a droll and intriguing excursion into the minutiae of Flaubert's life and intellect, along with an attempt to solve the small puzzle of the parrot--or rather parrots, for there are two competing for the title of Gustave's avian confrere--soon devolves into something obscure and worrisome, the exploration of an arcane Braithwaite obsession that is perhaps even pathological. The first hint we have that all is not as it seems comes almost halfway into the book, when after a humorously cantankerous account of the inadequacies of literary critics, Braithwaite closes a chapter by saying, "Now do you understand why I hate critics? I could try and describe to you the expression in my eyes at this moment; but they are far too discoloured with rage." And from that point, things just get more and more curious, until they end in the most unexpected bang. One passage perhaps best describes the overall effect of this extraordinary story: "You can define a net in one of two ways, depending on your point of view. Normally, you would say that it is a meshed instrument designed to catch fish. But you could, with no great injury to logic, reverse the image and define the net as a jocular lexicographer once did: he called it a collection of holes tied together with string." Julian Barnes demonstrates that it is possible to catch quite an interesting fish no matter how you define the net. --Andrew HimesÉPUISÉVOIR PRODUIT13,60 € -

Pride and prejudice (VO)
When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships,gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.EN STOCKCOMMANDER12,00 € -
MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS (VO)
Murder on the Orient Express is a tour-de-force variation on the theme of the English house-party, gathering a remarkable set of characters, each a secretive soul, for a journey on the fabled Orient Express train as it travels from Istanbul to Paris. On hand to resolve the murder of an American passenger is Hercule Poirot, the dapper Belgian detective, dependent only on his wit, who tucks away obscure, seemingly unrelated minutiae in his facile mind. When he determines that the corpse was a renowned child kidnapper/killer, he begins to wonder about connections between the passengers and the victim. A misplaced button, overheard conversations, a monogrammed handkerchief, and an elusive figure clad in a scarlet kimono all become clues as Hercule Poirot interrogates the snow-trapped travelers and comes to his own conclusions. Murder on the Orient Express, with its skill plot construction, adroit writing, and thought-provoking revelations, reminds us that what is "just" is not always what is legal..EN STOCKCOMMANDER9,00 € -

The boy in the striped pyjamas
In this Holocaust novel, Bruno leaves his wonderful Berlin home with his parents because of "the fury." Boyne's depiction of time and place becomes real with Michael Maloney's characterization of this displaced 9-year-old, who rapidly goes from excited confusion to indignant anger. Maloney's narrative bits are a calm counterpoint to the bewilderment of the protagonist, who finds himself at "Off With," where he is surrounded by people dressed in striped pajamas. Maloney continues to dramatize Bruno's moods as he makes friends with a young prisoner and observes the cruelty of a controlling soldier. Making Bruno real is crucial to our acceptance of his innocent horror, essential to filling in all the author doesn't say, and necessary to establishing the emotional balance we need to hear this disturbing story.
