Robert Langdon, professeur de symbologie à Harvard, se réveille en pleine nuit à l'hôpital. Désorienté, blessé à la tête, il n'a aucun souvenir des dernières trente-six heures. Pourquoi se retrouve-t-il à Florence ? D'où vient cet objet macabre que les médecins ont découvert dans ses affaires ? Quand son monde vire brutalement au cauchemar, Langdon va s'enfuir avec une jeune femme, Sienna Brooks. Rapidement, Langdon comprend qu'il est en possession d'un message codé créé par un éminent scientifique - un génie qui a voué sa vie à éviter la fin du monde, une obsession qui n'a d'égale que sa passion pour l'une des oeuvres de Dante Alighieri: le grand poème épique Inferno. Pris dans une course contre la montre, Langdon et Sienna remontent le temps à travers un dédale de lieux mythiques, explorant passages dérobés et secrets anciens, pour retrouver l'ultime création du scientifique - véritable bombe à retardement - dont personne ne sait si elle va améliorer la vie sur terre ou la détruire.

Ro murmurs into my ear. "Don't be afraid, Dol. They're not coming for us." Still, he slips his arm around me and we wait until the sky is clear. Because he doesn't know. Not really. Everything changed on The Day. The day the Icon appeared in Los Angeles. The day the power stopped. The day Dol's family dropped dead. The day Earth lost a war it didn't know it was fighting. Since then, Dol has lived a simple life in the countryside with fellow survivor Ro-safe from the shadow of the Icon and its terrifying power. Hiding from the one truth she can't avoid. They're different. They survived. Why? When the government discovers their secret, they are forced to join faint-hearted Tima and charismatic Lucas in captivity. Called the Icon Children, the four are the only humans on Earth immune to the power of the Icons. Torn between brooding Ro and her evolving feelings for Lucas, between a past and a future, Dol's heart has never been more vulnerable. And as tensions escalate, the Icon Ch 16 ildren discover that their explosive emotions-which they've always thought to be their greatest weaknesses-may actually be their greatest strengths. Bestselling author Margaret Stohl delivers a thrilling novel set in a haunting new world where four teens must piece together the mysteries of their pasts-in order to save their future. 13 Praise for Icons : "Fans of Stohl's Beautiful Creatures series will find many of the same elements here - paranormal romance, a fast pace, and intriguing characters - but within a distinctly science-fiction setting. The strong messages of questioning authority, daring to resist injustice, and loyalty to one's group will resonate with teens who loved The Hunger Games ." Booklist 01 Margaret Stohl lebt mit ihrer Familien im kalifornischen Los Angeles.

When Barry Fairbrother dies in his early forties, the town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty facade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils...Pagford is not what it first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the parish council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations? A big novel about a small town, The Casual Vacancy is J.K. Rowling's first novel for adults. It is the work of a storyteller like no other.
