Le dernier appel d'un monument de la littérature pour une prise de conscience...

A poesia de João Luís Barreto Guimarães oscila, sempre, entre a contemplação da História, a ironia sobre as coisas comuns e quotidianas, a transformação dos sentimentos em meditação sobre a passagem

19 novembre 1957. "Cher Monsieur Germain, J'ai laissé s'éteindre un peu le bruit qui m'a entouré tous ces jours-ci avant de venir vous parler un peu de tout mon coeur. On vient de me faire un bien trop grand honneur, que je n'ai ni recherche ni sollicite. Mais quand j'ai appris la nouvelle, ma premiere pensee, apres ma mere, a ete pour vous. Sans vous, sans cette main affectueuse que vous avez tendue au petit enfant pauvre que j'etais, sans votre enseignement, et votre exemple, rien de tout cela ne serait arrive. (...) Je vous embrasse, de toutes mes forces. Albert Camus". Alors qu'il vient de recevoir le prix Nobel de litterature, Albert Camus ecrit a son ancien instituteur a Alger, celui sans qui "rien de tout cela ne serait arrive", toute sa reconnaissance. L'ensemble de la correspondance entre les deux hommes et un extrait du Premier homme ou apparait le personnage de l'instituteur M. Bernard sont ici reunis. Une edition en forme d'hommage a ce lien magnifique de gratitude et de tendresse.

Raccolgo in questo volume tre storie che ho scritto nel decennio 50-60 e che hanno in comune il fatto di essere inverosimili e di svolgersi in epoche lontane e in paesi immaginari. Ho voluto farne una trilogia desperienze sul come realizzarsi esseri umani: nel Cavaliere inesistente la conquista dellessere, nel Visconte dimezzato laspirazione a una completezza al di la delle mutilazioni imposte dalla societa, nel Barone rampante una via verso una completezza non individualistica da raggiungere attraverso la fedelta a unautodeterminazione individuale: tre gradi dapproccio alla liberta. E nello stesso tempo ho voluto che fossero tre storie, come si dice, aperte, che innanzi tutto stiano in piedi come storie, per la logica del succedersi delle loro immagini, ma che comincino la loro vera vita nellimprevedibile gioco dinterrogazioni e risposte suscitate nel lettore. Vorrei che potessero essere guardate come un albero genealogico degli antenati delluomo contemporaneo, in cui ogni volto cela qualche tratto delle persone che ci sono intorno, di voi, di me stesso.

The epic, long-awaited definitive story of Sylvanas Windrunner, one of World of Warcraft's most enduring and iconic characters. Ranger-General. Banshee Queen. Warchief. Sylvanas Windrunner has borne many titles. To some, she is a hero . . . to others, a villain. But whether in pursuit of justice, vengeance, or something more, Sylvanas has always sought to control her own destiny. The power to achieve her goals has never been closer, as Sylvanas works alongside the Jailer to liberate all Azeroth from the prison of fate. Her final task? Secure the fealty of their prisoner-King Anduin Wrynn. To succeed, Sylvanas will be forced to reflect on the harrowing path that brought her to the Jailer's side, and reveal her truest self to her greatest rival. Here, Sylvanas' complete story is laid bare: from the breaking of the Windrunner family and her rise to Ranger-General; to her own death at the hands of Arthas and her renewed purpose in founding the Forsaken; to the moment she first beheld the Maw, and understood the true consequences of what lay beyond the veil of death. But as her moment of victory draws near, Sylvanas Windrunner will make a choice that may ultimately come to define her. A choice that's hers to make.

Legendary storyteller Stephen King goes into the deepest well of his imagination in this spellbinding novel about a seventeen-year-old boy who inherits the keys to a parallel world where good and evil are at war, and the stakes could not be higher - for their world or ours.Charlie Reade looks like a regular high school kid, great at baseball and football, a decent student. But he carries a heavy load. His mom was killed in a hit-and-run accident when he was ten, and grief drove his dad to drink. Charlie learned how to take care of himself - and his dad. Then, when Charlie is seventeen, he meets a dog named Radar and her aging master, Howard Bowditch, a recluse in a big house at the top of a big hill, with a locked shed in the backyard. Sometimes strange sounds emerge from it.
