Monte Cinque
Dall'alto della montagna tu puoi vedere come sia grande il mondo, e come siano ampi gli orizzonti...Il profeta Elia testimonia, con la sua vicenda umana, la volontà indomabile di chi non si rassegna a un destino prestabilito ma, a costo di sfidare la volontà divina, percorre fino in fondo la propria strada, per affermare se stesso e afferrare saldamente il comando della propria vita. L'autore, in una breve nota iniziale, dice che l'inevitabile ha sfiorato la vita di ogni essere umano su questa terra. Alcuni si sono ripresi, altri hanno ceduto. Elia decide di vivere il proprio destino senza rassegnazione. Il Signore ha ordinato tremende prove per colui che ascenderà al cielo su un carro di fuoco trainato da cavalli fiammeggianti. Per sfuggire alla persecuzione della regina Gezabele, Elia è costretto a lasciare Israele. Giunto nella città di Akbar, la vedrà messa a ferro e fuoco. dall'esercito assiro e assisterà impotente alla morte della donna che ama, tra le macerie fumanti della sua casa. La volontà del profeta, che assume il colore della sfida, insieme all'innocenza del bambino che lo accompagna, lo spingeranno a superare ostacoli, paure e rimpianti. Al termine del'cammino lungo le pendici del Monte Cinque, invase da una vegetazione inselvatichita e avvolte nella nebbia, egli scorgerà il profilo radioso del regno della felicità.

Vingt ans apres
Vingt ans après, ils courent, chevauchent et ferraillent toujours, sur les routes de France ou d'Angleterre. Leurs bras, comme leurs langues, n'ont rien perdu de cette vigueur étincelante qui les faisait déplacer les montagnes et réussir l'impossible. Leur amitié, dans les moments critiques, ressoude leurs quatre lames comme limailles autour d'un seul aimant. Mais les temps ont bien changé. Aramis sert ses duchesses, Athos ne songe qu'à son fils, Porthos à son titre et d'Artagnan s'est attaché à un Mazarin que tout le monde abandonne. C'est le règne de l'individualisme bourgeois que Dumas dénonce, et l'élan brisé de la jeunesse, de ses espoirs, qu'il évoque avec une tendre nostalgie. Les montagnes, cette fois, ne bougent plus. Le ciel s'est assombri. Et si les dialogues claquent toujours, dans ces pages ferventes et enflammées, ils s'épuisent aussi, bien souvent, contre le mur de l'irrémédiable. Cette fragilité avouée, ce demi-renoncement, grandissent Dumas et nous le rendent plus proche encore. --Scarbo
Murders in Rue Morgue + CD (American English)
The room was on the fourth floor, and the door was locked - with the key on the inside. The windows were closed and fastened - on the inside. The chimney was too narrow for a cat to get through. So how did the murderer escape? And whose were the two angry voices heard by the neighbours as they ran up the stairs? Nobody in Paris could find any answers to this mystery. Except Auguste Dupin, who could see further and think more clearly than other people. The answers to the mystery were all there, but only a clever man could see them.
Le Démon et Mademoiselle Prym
Éternelle question du Bien et du Mal. Pour nous conter cette parabole, Paulo Coelho a transformé le fruit du savoir en lingots d'or, et le jardin d'Éden en petit village perdu dans les montagnes, somnolant dans une paisible béatitude. Et le serpent tentateur, voyageur élégant et beau parleur, a choisi pour médiatrice Chantal Prym, jeune et jolie barmaid. Décor d'une biblique simplicité, pour cette fable discrètement parfumée au soufre. Coelho dissèque et manipule ses personnages comme des marionnettes, dans ce monde tout bruissant d'ombres, d'anges et de démons bavards, où la mort ne se cantonne pas aux cimetières, mais reste toujours intimement liée à la vie. Alors, les hommes sont-ils bons ou mauvais ? Et Dieu s'intéresse-t-il à leur sort ? Les âmes ici se creusent comme des gouffres, où tourbillonnent le chaos des pulsions, des frustrations, la fascination et l'horreur de l'ennui. Forces contraires, qui se paralysent ou se décuplent : Coelho fait œuvre de chimiste plus que "d'alchimiste", et dans un style vigoureux, assène quelques vérités qui ne sont pas toutes bonnes à dire. --Scarbo

The Street Lawyer
Michael was in a hurry. He was scrambling up the ladder at Drake & Sweeney, a giant D. C. firm with 800 lawyers. The money was good and getting better; a partnership was three years away. He was a rising star, with no time to waste, no time to stop, no time to toss a few coins into the cups of panhandlers, no time to walk around them on the sidewalk, and no time for a conscience. But a violent encounter with a homeless man stopped him cold. Michael survived; his assailant did not. Who was this homeless man? Michael did some digging and learned that he was a mentally ill veteran who'd been in and out of shelters for twenty years. Then, Michael dug a little deeper, and found a dirty secret, and the secret involved Drake & Sweeney. The fast track derailed; and the ladder collapsed. Michael bolted from the firm, and took a top secret file with him. He landed in the streets, a poverty lawyer, a street lawyer, an advocate for the homeless, and a thief.

Le Tour du Monde en 80 Jour
Jules Verne aimait le grand spectacle, ses effets de scène et ses coups de théâtre. Et certains de ses livres, Le Tour du monde en 80 jours notamment, sont conçus comme des machines théâtrales. Tout y est calibré, ajusté pour tenir le lecteur en haleine, l'étonner, le distraire ou le prendre à contre-pied. On est en pleine esthétique romantique, celle de Dumas en particulier, avec qui Verne collabora un temps. Mais le Tour du monde c'est aussi l'avènement du monde industriel, le culte de la machine, de l'efficacité, le pointage horaire étendu à une échelle universelle. Culte porté jusqu'à l'outrance, avec un humour féroce, une ironie mordante : Verne n'est pas dupe. Et s'il agite ses personnages comme des marionnettes prises de frénésie, c'est pour, en sourdine, articuler un discours de révolte : Philéas Fogg n'est pas si loin de Némo l'anarchiste, nouveau Faust moderne, et ce texte éblouissant cache bien des profondeurs. --Scarbo

When a long-lost diary surfaces, it seems the two friends have found the key to the labyrinth - but when a fellow researcher is murdered only hours later, they suddenly find themselves in great danger. And what they discover embedded in the text stuns them: a narrative detailing the passion of a Renaissance prince, a hidden crypt, and a secret worth dying to protect."
