Die Neuübersetzung von Gabriel García Márquez' wichtigstem Roman »Hundert Jahre Einsamkeit« - erstmals im Taschenbuch. Gabriel García Márquez' bedeutendster Roman und einer der schönsten der Weltliteratur: Bildhaft und anekdotenreich erzählt der Literaturnobelpreisträger García Márquez die hundertjährige Familiengeschichte der Buendías - eine Geschichte von Siegen und Niederlagen, hochmütigem Stolz und blinder Zerstörungswut, unbändiger Vitalität und ihrem endgültigem Untergang. Die ganze Tragödie Lateinamerikas spiegelt sich in der phantastischen Welt von Macondo. Die Neuübersetzung von Dagmar Ploetz lässt den stilistischen Reichtum des Originals frisch aufleuchten und bietet eine wunderbare Gelegenheit, diesen Klassiker der Weltliteratur neu zu entdecken.

« Le 9 janvier 1993, Jean-Claude Romand a tué sa femme, ses enfants, ses parents, puis tenté, mais en vain, de se tuer lui-même. L''enquête a révélé qu''il n''était pas médecin comme il le prétendait

Written over a seven-year period, from 1914 to 1921, this book has survived bowdlerization, legal action and controversy. The novel deals with the events of one day in Dublin, 16th June 1904, now known as Bloomsday . The principal characters are Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom and his wife Molly. Ulysses has been labelled dirty, blasphemous and unreadable.In a famous 1933 court decision, Judge John M. Woolsey declared it an emetic book - although he found it not quite obscene enough to disallow its importation into the United States - and Virginia Woolf was moved to decry James Joyce''s cloacal obsession . None of these descriptions, however, do the slightest justice to the novel. To this day it remains the modernist masterpiece, in which the author takes both Celtic lyricism and vulgarity to splendid extremes. It is funny, sorrowful, and even (in its own way) suspenseful. And despite the exegetical industry that has sprung up in the last 75 years, Ulysses is also a compulsively readable book.

From the moment that he constructs a perfect alibi, Guy Haines is trapped in a nightmare of shared guilt and an insidious merging of his personality with that of his conspirator.

A monument to sloth, rant and contempt, a behemoth of fat, flatulence and furious suspicion of anything modern - this is Ignatius J. Reilly of New Orleans, noble crusader against a world of dunces. In magnificent revolt against the twentieth century, Ignatius propels his monstrous bulk among the flesh-pots of a fallen city, filling his Big Chief tablets with invective, until his maroon-haired mother decrees that Ignatius must go to work.

Pour une journée qui s''annonçait vide, elle commençait de bien bonne heure...". Durant cette journée du 11 septembre 1939, sur une passerelle de la gare de Saint-Brieuc, le narrateur, comme s''il attendait quelque train toujours retarde, se rappelle une rencontre : Salido, combattant antifranquiste, qu''il a connu du temps ou il etait charge d''accueillir des refugies de la guerre d''Espagne. Ainsi ses souvenirs vont-ils s''organiser autour de Salido, ce rebelle, anime de l''esprit de revolte qui hante aussi le narrateur. Le recit conjugue present et souvenir, destin et retour sur soi, comme le suggere l''image de cette passerelle au-dessus des rails.
