The Cider House Rules
Set among the apple orchards of rural Maine, it is a perverse world in which Homer Wells' odyssey begins. As the oldest unadopted offspring at St Cloud's orphanage, he learns about the skills which, one way or another, help young and not-so-young women, from Wilbur Larch, the orphanage's founder, a man of rare compassion with an addiction to ether. Dr Larch loves all his orphans, especially Homer Wells. It is Homer's story we follow, from his early apprenticeship in the orphanage, to his adult life running a cider-making factory and his strange relationship with the wife of his closest friend.

Lacná kniha Un Temps pour Vivre (-90%)
Soldat d'une armée allemande laquelle ses chefs avaient promis la maîtrise du monde et qui compte ses innombrables morts, Ernst Gräber échappe l'enfer des bombardements l'occasion d'une permission et quitte le front russe devant Stalingrad pour partir la recherche de ses parents. Effrayante odyssée : il ne traverse que des villes en ruine et ne voit que des survivants affamés. La rencontre d'une amie d'enfance, Elisabeth, va soudain illuminer la vie d'Ernst. Mais, aprs le spectacle de la destruction des hommes, y a-t-il encore un temps pour aimer ? Dans Un temps pour vivre, un temps pour mourir, E. M. Remarque impose l'idée, alors nouvelle, de guerre totale ". Il y révle la barbarie laquelle aboutit l'armée allemande, aveuglément bornée, sur le front de l'Est. Et le soldat Ernst Gräber, contraint de se battre malgré lui au nom de l'Allemagne nazie, témoigne du dilemme dans lequel finit par se trouver tout individu quand il veut demeurer fidle sa conscience."

Ílion
O hněvu Achillea, syna Péleova, zabijáka soucit neznajícího, osudem k smrti předurčeného, nám zpívej, ó Múzo. Tak začíná nejslavnější Homérův epos a jsou to i první slova románu Dana Simmonse. Ale to je jen úvod, jen vstup do knihy, která nám představí bohy a hrdiny starověkého Řecka, Achájce i Trójany, ve zcela novém světle. Průvodcem nám je profesor Thomas Hockenberry, který celý život studoval a přednášel Ilias a Odysseu... a ted' je dennodenně z vůle Múzy Meleté přítomen obléhání Tróje. Snídá s prostými vojáky obou znepřátelených stran a pokouší se - s větším či menším úspěchem - zasáhnout do dění. Současně probíhá děj na Zemi, která je po mnoha a mnoha katastrofách obydlena pouze zbytkem lidstva, které je negramotné. Všichni cestují faxem - ale jen tam, kam je to dovoleno- a jsou obsluhování podivnými tvory - voynixy. A nakonec jsou tu moravci - obyvatelé jupiterovských měsíců - a jejich expedice, která má zjistit, proč se v posledních letech tak zvýšila kvantová aktivita na Marsu

House of Odysseus
From the author of the critically acclaimed Ithaca - A Sunday Times Historical Fiction Book of the Year - comes an exquisite and gripping new tale that breathes life into ancient myth. This is the story of Penelope of Ithaca, famed wife of Odysseus, as it has never been told before.
On the isle of Ithaca, Queen Penelope maintains a delicate balance of power. Many years ago, her husband, Odysseus, sailed to war with Troy and never came home. In his absence, Penelope uses all her cunning to keep the peace - but this is shattered by the arrival of Orestes, king of Mycenae, and his sister Elektra.
Orestes's hands are stained with his mother's blood. Not so long ago, the son of Agamemnon took Queen Clytemnestra's life on Ithaca's sands. Now, racked with guilt, he is slowly losing his mind.
Penelope knows destruction will follow in his wake as surely as the Furies circle him. His uncle, Menelaus, the battle-hungry king of Sparta, longs for Orestes's throne - and if he can seize it, no one will be safe from his violent whims.
Trapped between two mad kings, Penelope fights to keep war from Ithaca's shores. Her only allies are Elektra and Helen of Troy, Menelaus's enigmatic wife. And watching over them all is the goddess Aphrodite, who has plans of her own.
Each woman has a secret. And their secrets will shape the world.

James
From the Booker Prize-shortlisted author of The Trees James is an enthralling and ferociously funny novel that leaves an indelible mark, forcing us to see Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in a wholly new and transformative light.
The Mississippi River, 1861. When the enslaved Jim overhears that he is about to be sold to a new owner in New Orleans and separated from his wife and daughter forever, he decides to hide on nearby Jackson's Island until he can formulate a plan. Meanwhile, Huck Finn has faked his own death to escape his violent father who recently returned to town. Thus begins a dangerous and transcendent journey by raft along the Mississippi River, toward the elusive promise of free states and beyond. As James and Huck begin to navigate the treacherous waters, each bend in the river holds the promise of both salvation and demise. With rumours of a brewing war, James must face the burden he carries: the family he is desperate to protect and the constant lie he must live. And together, the unlikely pair must face the most dangerous odyssey of them all . . .
From the shadows of Huck Finn's mischievous spirit, Jim emerges to reclaim his voice, defying the conventions that have consigned him to the margins.
