Rókák esküvője
Simon Márton harmadik kötetének költészete egyenes beszéd, kitérőkkel. Egy olyan belső monológ felvétele, amelyből az ébrenlét cenzorai még nem vágták ki a mindennapokat folytonos ostrom alatt tartó irracionalitást. Néha nehéz különbséget tenni élők és holtak között: van, aki távozik, és van, aki visszajár. Az emberi beszédet meg-megrepesztik a természet és a technológia szívhangjai. Belebotlunk egy papírpohárba, és mire felnézünk, a versmondatba már besétált egy őz. Vagy egy róka, amelyben a legtöbb hagyományos kultúra szerint soha nem lehet megbízni. Simon Márton versei azonban egy olyan világról szólnak, ahol lehet, hogy már csak a rókákban bízhatunk.

A Night In With Grace Kelly
I laughed my slippers off!' Alexandra Brown
Fate has got it in for Libby Lomax. She realised, far too late, that her best friend Olly, is the actual Love of Her Life. Now he's in love with the so-nice-it-hurts, Tash, and it looks like her happy ending is completely out of reach.
Things start looking up when she, quite literally, runs into the completely gorgeous Joel. Libby discovers that there is more to Joel than his six-pack, not least, the incredible fact that he honestly believes he has found his fairy tale princess in her.
And if this wasn't enough, an unwanted guest shows up on Libby's enchanted sofa; Grace Kelly, wearing her iconic wedding dress and convinced that Libby is figment of her imagination. But one thing that Grace doesn't believe in is fairy tales. Grace believes that if you really want something, then you've got to make it happen yourself; words which give Libby hope that happy endings aren't just for fairy tale princesses...

The Catalogue of Shipwrecked Books
"Like a Renaissance wonder cabinet, full of surprises and opening up into a lost world." --Stephen Greenblatt "A captivating adventure...For lovers of history, Wilson-Lee offers a thrill on almost every page...Magnificent." --The New York Times Book Review Named a Best Book of the Year by: * Financial Times * New Statesman * History Today * The Spectator * The impeccably researched and vividly rendered account of the quest by Christopher Columbus's illegitimate son to create the greatest library in the world--"a perfectly pitched poetic drama" (Financial Times) and an amazing tour through sixteenth-century Europe. In this innovative work of history, Edward Wilson-Lee tells the extraordinary story of Hernando Colón, a singular visionary of the printing press-age who also happened to be Christopher Columbus's illegitimate son. At the peak of the Age of Exploration, Hernando traveled with Columbus on his final voyage to the New World, a journey that ended in disaster, bloody mutiny, and shipwreck. After Columbus's death in 1506, the eighteen-year-old Hernando sought to continue--and surpass--his father's campaign to explore the boundaries of the known world by building a library that would collect everything ever printed: a vast holding organized by summaries and catalogues, the first ever search engine for the exploding diversity of written matter as the printing press proliferated across Europe. Hernando restlessly and obsessively amassed his collection based on the groundbreaking conviction that a library of universal knowledge should include "all books, in all languages and on all subjects," even material often dismissed as ephemeral trash: song sheets, erotica, newsletters, popular images, romances, fables. The loss of part of his collection to another maritime disaster in 1522--documented in his poignant Catalogue of Shipwrecked Books--set off the final scramble to complete this sublime project, a race against time to realize a vision of near-impossible perfection. Edward Wilson-Lee's account of Hernando's life is a testimony to the beautiful madness of booklovers, a plunge into sixteenth-century Europe's information revolution, and a reflection of the passion and intrigues that lie beneath our own attempts to bring order to the world today.

Rhinoceros
Tous les chats sont mortels. Socrate est mortel. Donc Socrate est un chat." Tout langage stéréotypé devient aberrant. C'est ce que Ionesco démontre dans Rhinocéros, pice qui a tout d'abord vu le jour sous la forme d'une nouvelle. Partisan d'un théâtre total, il porte l'absurde son paroxysme en l'incarnant matériellement. Allégorie des idéologies de masse, le rhinocéros, cruel et dévastateur, ne se déplace qu'en groupe et gagne du terrain une vitesse vertigineuse. Seul et sans trop savoir pourquoi, Bérenger résiste la mutation. Il résiste pour notre plus grande délectation, car sa lutte désespérée donne lieu des caricatures savoureuses, des variations de tons et de genres audacieuses et anticonformistes. La sclérose intellectuelle, l'incommunicabilité et la perversion du langage engendrent des situations tellement tragiques qu'elles en deviennent comiques, tellement grotesques qu'elles ne peuvent tre que dramatiques. On a dit du théâtre de Ionesco qu'il était engagé ; il l'est, en faveur de l'individu, menacé de marginalisation quand, malgré ses faiblesses, il parvient résister aux tentations avilissantes qu'il a lui-mme fait naître. --Sana Tang-Léopold Wauters "
Les Hauts de Hurle-Vent
L o la terre est sauvage et le vent glacial, l o les pentes sont hostiles, les esprits peuvent devenir rudes, tenaces. Ils peuvent aussi tre incroyablement imaginatifs et poétiques. Enfant du Yorkshire, Emily Brontë se fait la fois peintre réaliste, romancire gothique et pote du surnaturel dans cet ouvrage qui retrace, sur deux générations, les conséquences désastreuses d'un amour contrarié, celui d'Heathcliff et de Catherine. Elle y décrit merveille la lande monochrome que seule la bruyre égaie ici et l, les marais dont l'humidité ronge les os et alourdit le coeur, les vents monotones et agressifs dont le sifflement effraie l'imagination. Elle dépeint avec véracité les tourments violents de la passion, de la vengeance et de la peur. Mais surtout, Emily Brontë démontre ses talents de composition, orchestrant sans dissonances les retours dans le temps, les intrusions de l'étrange et les changements de point de vue. Elle dévoile enfin la disposition romantique d'une jeune femme qui semble croire que le repos de l'âme ne se gagne qu'au terme d'une douloureuse errance. --Sana Tang-Léopold Wauters

Princess
In a land where Kings still rule, I am a Princess. You must know me only as Sultana, for I cannot reveal my true name for fear that harm will come to me and my family for what I am about to tell you.
Think of a Saudi Arabian princess and what do you see? A woman glittering with jewels, living a life of unbelievable luxury. She has gold, palaces, swimming-pools, servants, designer dresses galore. But in reality she lives in a gilded cage. She has no freedom, no vote, no control over her own life, no value but as a bearer of sons. Hidden behind the veil, she is a prisoner, her jailers her father, her husband, her sons.
'Sultana' is a member of the Saudi royal family, closely related to the King. For the sake of her daughters, she decided that it was time for a woman in her position to speak out about the reality of life for women in her country, whatever their rank. She tells of her own life, from her turbulent childhood to her arranged marriage - a happy one, until her husband decided to take a second wife - and of the lives of her sisters, her friends and her servants. In contrast to the affection and easy camaraderie amongst the women, she relates a history of appalling oppression against them, everyday occurrences that in any other culture would be seen as shocking human rights violations: forced marriages, servants bullied into sex slavery, summary executions.
Princess is a testimony to a woman of indomitable spirit and great courage. By speaking out, 'Sultana' risked bringing the wrath of the Saudi establishment upon her head and upon the heads of her children. For this reason, she told her story anonymously.
