Lacná kniha La Premiere Enquete de Maigret (-70%)
Qui a tiré un coup de revolver, en pleine nuit, dans l'hôtel particulier de la puissante famille Gendreau-Balthazar, rue Chaptal ? Tout jeune secrétaire du commissariat du quartier Saint-Georges, Jules Maigret se voit confier une enqu?te officieuse - car on n'attaque pas de front ces gens de la haute société, aux relations influentes. Maigret va habilement débrouiller l'écheveau des secrets de la famille Gendreau. En particulier les ambitions d'Hector, fondateur de la dynastie: assurer ? sa descendance un nom ? particule. Comment la vanité m?lée aux intér?ts d'argent peut déboucher sur le meurtre, c'est ce que nous découvrirons au terme de l'enqu?te. Enqu?te inutile. Maigret apprendra que les riches méritent des égards auxquels d'autres classes sociales n'ont pas droit...

Let it Come Down
"Let It Come Down", with its title from Macbeth, tells the story of Dyar, a New York bank clerk who throws up his secure, humdrum job to find a reality abroad with which to identify himself, and his macabre experiences in the inferno of Tangiers as he gives in to his darkest impulses. Rich in descriptions of the corruption and decadence of the International Zone in the last days before Moroccan independence, Bowles' second novel is an alternately comic and horrific account of a descent into nihilism.
Notes from Underground
A collection of powerful stories by one of the masters of Russian literature, illustrating Fyodor Dostoyevsky's thoughts on political philosophy, religion and above all, humanity. From the primitive peasant who kills without understanding that he is destroying a human life, to the anxious antihero of Notes From Underground--a man who both craves and despises affection--this volume and its often-tormented characters showcase Dostoyevsky's evolving outlook on man's fate. The compelling works presented here were written at distinct periods in the author's life, at decisive moments in his groping for a political philosophy and a religious answer. Thomas Mann described Dostoyevsky as "an author whose Christian sympathy is ordinarily devoted to human misery, sin, vice, the depths of lust and crime, rather than to nobility of body and soul"--and Notes From Underground as "an awe-and-terror-inspiring example of this sympathy." Translated and with an Afterword by Andrew R. MacAndrew

Lacná kniha Furie (-50%)
Vous êtes professeur d'anglais, à la retraite, plutôt célèbre grâce à la télévision, et puis une nuit vous vous retrouvez, un couteau à la main, dans la chambre de votre femme, où dort paisiblement votre garçon. En furie. En pleine transe rageuse. Prêt à commettre l'irréparable. Inquiétant, non ? De quoi filer à l'anglaise, dare-dare, abandonnant femme et enfant, pour gagner les États-Unis. C'est ce qui arrive à Malik Solenka, Londonien d'origine indienne, "irascible créateur de poupées naguère historien des idées". Mais voilà. À New York, le refuge qui se voudrait un moment de répit, de méditation, de quête d'une sérénité perdue, la furie poursuit son œuvre démentielle. Elle prend d'abord la forme de meurtres de jeunes filles puis de rencontres amoureuses, de jeux érotiques qui tournent au cauchemar… Pour son dernier roman, Salman Rushdie n'a pas fait dans la petite dentelle, le point de Bruges ou d'Alençon, ni lésiné sur les moyens de lancer et relancer son abracadabrant récit. Il cite Woody Allen et Proust, commente un match de foot de l'Euro 2000, parle d'Alain Ducasse et d'Excalibur… Il convoque genres policier et psychologique, la tragédie et la drôlerie, l'érotisme et l'humour distant (so british), use des suspensions, des interrogations, rebondit dans l'exclamation, oscillant entre rêve et réalité. Un livre plein et entier. --Céline Darner

Death Comes As The End
A novel of anger, jealousy, betrayal and murder in 2000 BC It is Egypt, 2000 BC, where death gives meaning to life. At the foot of a cliff lies the broken, twisted body of Nofret, concubine to a Ka-priest. Young, beautiful and venomous, most agree that she deserved to die like a snake. Yet Renisenb, the priest's daughter, believes that the woman's death was not fate, but murder. Increasingly, she becomes convinced that the source of evil lurks within her own father's household. As the wife of an eminent archaeologist, Agatha Christie took part in several expeditions to the Middle East. Drawing upon this experience and exhaustive research, she wrote this serial killer mystery laid in Egypt 4000 years ago.

Hobbit
The classic bestseller behind this year's biggest movie, this definitive paperback edition features nine illustrations and two maps drawn by J.R.R. Tolkien, and a preface by Christopher Tolkien. Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely travelling further than the pantry of his hobbit-hole in Bag End. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard, Gandalf, and a company of thirteen dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on an unexpected journey 'there and back again'. They have a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon! The prelude to The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit has sold many millions of copies since its publication in 1937, establishing itself as one of the most beloved and influential books of the twentieth century.
To the Lighthouse
A pioneering work of modernist fiction, using her unique stream-of-consciousness technique to explore the inner lives of her characters, Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse is widely regarded as one of the greatest artistic achievements of the twentieth century. This Penguin Classics edition is edited by Stella McNichol, with an introduction and notes by Hermione Lee. To the Lighthouse is at once a vivid impressionistic depiction of a family holiday, and a meditation on marriage, on parenthood and childhood, on grief, tyranny and bitterness. For years now the Ramsays have spent every summer in their holiday home in Scotland, and they expect these summers will go on forever; but as the First World War looms, the integrity of family and society will be fatally challenged. With a psychologically introspective mode, the use of memory, reminiscence and shifting perspectives gives the novel an intimate, poetic essence, and at the time of publication in 1927 it represented an utter rejection of Victorian and Edwardian literary values. Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) is regarded as a major 20th century author and essayist, a key figure in literary history as a feminist and modernist, and the centre of 'The Bloomsbury Group', an informal collective of artists and writers that exerted a powerful influence over early twentieth-century British culture. Between 1925 and 1931 Virginia Woolf produced what are now regarded as her finest masterpieces, from Mrs Dalloway (1925) to the poetic and highly experimental novel The Waves (1931). She also maintained an astonishing output of literary criticism, short fiction, journalism and biography, including the playfully subversive Orlando (1928) and A Room of One's Own (1929) a passionate feminist essay. If you enjoyed To the Lighthouse, you might like James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, also available in Penguin Classics.
