It's Kind of a Funny Story
Ned Vizzini • 2007
<br>Like many ambitious New York City teenagers, Craig Gilner sees entry into Manhattan’s Executive Pre-Professional High School as the ticket to his future. Determined to succeed at life—which means getting into the right high school to get into the right college to get the right job—Craig studies night and day to ace the entrance exam, and does. That’s when things start to get crazy.<br><br>At his new school, Craig realizes that he isn't brilliant compared to the other kids; he’s just average, and maybe not even that. He soon sees his once-perfect future crumbling away. The stress becomes unbearable and Craig stops eating and sleeping—until, one night, he nearly kills himself. <br><br>Craig’s suicidal episode gets him checked into a mental hospital, where his new neighbors include a transsexual sex addict, a girl who has scarred her own face with scissors, and the self-elected President Armelio. There, isolated from the crushing pressures of school and friends, Craig is finally able to confront the sources of his anxiety.<br><br>Ned Vizzini, who himself spent time in a psychiatric hospital, has created a remarkably moving tale about the sometimes unexpected road to happiness. For a novel about depression, it’s definitely a funny story.<br>

Letters to a Young Poet
Rainer Maria Rilke • 2018
<p>Facsimile of 1943 Edition. Born in 1875, the great German lyric poet Rainer Maria Rilke published his first collection of poems in 1898 and went on to become renowned for his delicate depiction of the workings of the human heart. Drawn by some sympathetic note in his poems, young people often wrote to Rilke with their problems and hopes. From 1903 to 1908 Rilke wrote a series of remarkable responses to a young, would-be poet on poetry and on surviving as a sensitive observer in a harsh world. Those letters, ten in all, remain a fresh source of inspiration and insight to the poetic sensibility to this day.</p>
Brave New World
Aldous Huxley • 2006
Now more than ever: Aldous Huxley's enduring masterwork must be read and understood by anyone concerned with preserving the human spirit<br/>"A masterpiece. ... One of the most prophetic dystopian works." —Wall Street Journal<br/>Aldous Huxley's profoundly important classic of world literature, Brave New World is a searching vision of an unequal, technologically-advanced future where humans are genetically bred, socially indoctrinated, and pharmaceutically anesthetized to passively uphold an authoritarian ruling order–all at the cost of our freedom, full humanity, and perhaps also our souls. “A genius [who] who spent his life decrying the onward march of the Machine” (The New Yorker), Huxley was a man of incomparable talents: equally an artist, a spiritual seeker, and one of history’s keenest observers of human nature and civilization. Brave New World, his masterpiece, has enthralled and terrified millions of readers, and retains its urgent relevance to this day as both a warning to be heeded as we head into tomorrow and as thought-provoking, satisfying work of literature. Written in the shadow of the rise of fascism during the 1930s, Brave New World likewise speaks to a 21st-century world dominated by mass-entertainment, technology, medicine and pharmaceuticals, the arts of persuasion, and the hidden influence of elites.<br/>"Aldous Huxley is the greatest 20th century writer in English." —Chicago Tribune
Loathing You
Amina Khan • 2023
Hate. Detest. Despise. These words were the only way that Adaline and Juliette could possibly describe their relationship, or lack thereof.<br/>Adaline would argue that this is because a certain she-devil has been making her life hell for the last five years. All for what? Because she was bisexual and wasn't born with a silver spoon, like every other student at Richmond academy?<br/>Juliette doesn't need to argue, she is a Kingston, an heiress to a multimillion empire. Yet still the need to argue arises within her anytime she is near Adaline emery.<br/>They were polar opposites, Juliette was ice and Adaline fire, where juliette was handed everything Adaline worked hard for everything. Where Adaline was an outcast, Juliette was the queen bee.<br/>They only had one thing in common...they both loathed eachother.

Les Nuits blanches
Fédor Dostoïevski • 2010
Product Description<br/><br/><br/>Les Nuits blanches est un court roman de Dostoïevski, publié en 1848. Ce récit amoureux développe et dénonce l'ambiguïté de ce que l'on croit voir et ressentir avec la réalité des sentiments et des choses. Comme les nuits qui ne sont plus obscures à Saint-Pétersbourg, le désespoir de Nastenka se révèle être une illusion passagère, dans laquelle le héros a pourtant placé toute la vérité de la jeune fille dont il est tombé amoureux.<br/><br/><br/>About the Author<br/><br/><br/>Fédor Dostoïevski est né à Moscou en 1821 et mort à Saint-Pétersbourg en 1881. Alors que ses parents le destinent à entrer dans une carrière d’ingénieur, Dostoïevski s’intéresse aux lettres et à la politique. Il appartient très jeune à un groupe socialiste, ce qui lui vaut d’être arrêté en 1849 et conduit au bagne en Sibérie. Cette peine dure jusqu’en 1854, mais elle lui apporte « une grande connaissance du peuple russe » et l’auteur l’utilisera dans ses romans, comme Crime et Châtiment. Lorsqu’il retrouve la liberté, Dostoïevski est d’abord officier en Sibérie, puis il prend sa retraite en 1860. À partir de cette époque, il voyage en Europe, devient un joueur obsessionnel (ce qui donnera lieu au roman Le Joueur), et se ruine. Sa rencontre avec Anna Snitkine, qu’il engage d’abord comme dactylo et qui devient rapidement sa femme, lui permet de vivre de son métier, il écrit alors ses romans les plus connus, jusqu’aux Frères Karamazov qu’il publie à 60 ans, peu de temps avant sa mort.

All That You Deserve
Jacqueline Whitney • 2021
You are someone worth fighting for. Keep going.<br/>Thank you for being the person who makes people feel okay when they’re not ok. The world is truly a kinder place because you are in it. You didn’t ask to go through what you do and you are so brave for enduring it.<br/>You are brave for trying to move on. You are brave for forgiving that person that seemed impossible to forgive. You deserve to be proud of the person you are and love the life you are living.<br/>You deserve to live the life you want to live, not the life others expect you to live.<br/>You deserve to wholeheartedly love yourself and your life. You deserve to break free from your past and the hurt it has held you in for too long. You deserve to find whole healing and full freedom from any darkness that tries to take your light. You deserve to finally find the peace your soul has been searching for. You deserve to see yourself as someone who is beautiful–– you wouldn’t be here if you weren’t meant to be precisely the person you are. You deserve to be loved by someone who loves you with unconditional love––the kind of love you have always dreamed of. I hope you never tell yourself that you are worth nothing because you are worth everything. Sometimes life is beautiful and then unimaginably difficult, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be beautiful again. You can’t wait until life doesn’t hurt anymore to choose to believe you deserve more. You can’t wait until you feel ready to start stepping towards your dreams. You deserve to find everything you’re looking to get out of this precious life. More than anything I just hope you know that you deserve to be here, now. The world would never be the same without you.

Emily Brontë • 2002
<b>Coming soon to the big screen is Emerald Fennell’s feature film “<i>Wuthering Heights</i>,” which captures the spirit of this epic love story and stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as Catherine and Heathcliff.<br></b><br>Emily Brontë's only novel endures as a work of tremendous and far-reaching influence. The Penguin Classics edition is the definitive version of the text, edited with an introduction by Pauline Nestor.<br><br>Lockwood, the new tenant of Thrushcross Grange, situated on the bleak Yorkshire moors, is forced to seek shelter one night at Wuthering Heights, the home of his landlord. There he discovers the history of the tempestuous events that took place years before. What unfolds is the tale of the intense love between the gypsy foundling Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw. Catherine, forced to choose between passionate, tortured Heathcliff and gentle, well-bred Edgar Linton, surrendered to the expectations of her class. As Heathcliff's bitterness and vengeance at his betrayal is visited upon the next generation, their innocent heirs must struggle to escape the legacy of the past. <br><br>In this edition, a new preface by Lucasta Miller, author of <i>The Brontë Myth</i>, looks at the ways in which the novel has been interpreted, from Charlotte Brontë onwards. This complements Pauline Nestor's introduction, which discusses changing critical receptions of the novel, as well as Emily Brontë's influences and background.

The Song of Achilles: A Novel
Madeline Miller • 2012
A New York Times Bestseller<br/>“At once a scholar’s homage to The Iliad and startlingly original work of art….A book I could not put down.” —Ann Patchett, author of The Dutch House<br/>A thrilling, profoundly moving, and utterly unique retelling of the legend of Achilles and the Trojan War from the bestselling author of Circe<br/>A tale of gods, kings, immortal fame, and the human heart, The Song of Achilles is a dazzling literary feat that brilliantly reimagines Homer’s enduring masterwork, The Iliad. An action-packed adventure, an epic love story, a marvelously conceived and executed page-turner, Miller’s monumental debut novel has already earned resounding acclaim from some of contemporary fiction’s brightest lights—and fans of Mary Renault, Bernard Cornwell, Steven Pressfield, and Colleen McCullough’s Masters of Rome series will delight in this unforgettable journey back to ancient Greece in the Age of Heroes.<br/>“A captivating retelling of The Iliad and events leading up to it through the point of view of Patroclus: it’s a hard book to put down, and any classicist will be enthralled by her characterisation of the goddess Thetis, which carries the true savagery and chill of antiquity.” — Donna Tartt, The Times

Incest
Anaïs Nin • 1993
The trailblazing memoirist and author of Henry & June recounts her relationships with Henry Miller and others—including her own father. Anaïs Nin wrote in her uncensored diaries like they were a broad-minded confidante with whom she shared the liberating psychosexual dramas of her life. In this continuation of her notorious Henry & June, she recounts a particularly turbulent period between 1932 and 1934, and the men who dominated it: her protective husband, her therapist, and the poet Antonin Artaud. However, most consuming of all is novelist Henry Miller—a man whose genius, said Anaïs, was so demonic it could drive people insane. Here too, recounted in extraordinary detail, is the sexual affair she had with her father. At once loving, exciting, and vengeful, it was the ultimate social transgression for which Anaïs would eventually seek absolution from her analysts. “Before Lena Dunham there was Anaïs Nin. Like Dunham, she’s been accused of narcissism, sociopathy, and sexual perversion time and again. Yet even that comparison undercuts the strangeness and bravery of her work, for Nin was the first of her kind. And, like all truly unique talents, she was worshipped by some, hated by many, and misunderstood by most . . . A woman who’d spent decades on the bleeding edge of American intellectual life, a woman who had been a respected colleague of male writers who pushed the boundaries of acceptable sex writing. Like many great . . . experimentalists, she wrote for a world that did not yet exist, and so helped to bring it into being.” —The Guardian Includes an introduction by Rupert Pole

As her husband, her brother-in-law and sister each fight to reassert their control, Yeong-hye obsessively defends the choice that’s become sacred to her. Soon their attempts turn desperate, subjecting first her mind, and then her body, to ever more intrusive and perverse violations, sending Yeong-hye spiraling into a dangerous, bizarre estrangement, not only from those closest to her, but also from herself. <br><br>Celebrated by critics around the world, <i>The Vegetarian</i> is a darkly allegorical, Kafka-esque tale of power, obsession, and one woman’s struggle to break free from the violence both without and within her.<br><b><br>A Best Book of the Year: <i>BuzzFeed, Entertainment Weekly, Wall Street Journal, Time, Elle, The Economist, HuffPost, Slate, Bustle, The St. Louis Dispatch, Electric Literature, Publishers Weekly</i></b>

Fernando Pessoa • 2002
La Nausée
Jean-Paul Sartre • 1938
Après avoir fait de longs voyages, Antoine Roquentin s'est fixé à Bouville, au milieu des féroces gens de bien. Il habite près de la gare, dans un hôtel de commis voyageurs, et fait une thèse d'histoire sur un aventurier du XVIIIe siècle, M. de Rollebon. Son travail le conduit souvent à la bibliothèque municipale, où son ami l'Autodidacte, un humaniste, s'instruit en lisant les livres par ordre alphabétique. Le soir, Roquentin va s'asseoir à une table du "Rendez-vous des Cheminots" pour entendre un disque - toujours le même : Some of these days. Et parfois, il monte avec la patronne du bistrot dans une chambre du premier étage. Depuis quatre ans, Anny, la femme qu'il aime, a disparu. Elle voulait toujours qu'il y eût des "moments parfaits" et s'épuisait, à chaque instant, en efforts minutieux et vains pour recomposer le monde autour d'elle. Ils se sont quittés ; à présent Roquentin perd son passé goutte à goutte, il s'enfonce tous les jours davantage dans un étrange et louche présent. Sa vie même n'a plus de sens : il croyait avoir eu de belles aventures ; mais il n'y a pas d'aventures, il n'y a que des "histoires". Il s'accroche à M. de Robellon : le mort doit justifier le vivant. Alors commence sa véritable aventure, une métamorphose insinuante et doucement horrible de toutes ses sensations ; c'est la Nausée, ça vous saisit par-derrière et puis on flotte dans une tiède mare de temps. Est-ce Roquentin qui a changé ? est-ce le monde ? Des murs, des jardins, des cafés sont brusquement pris de nausée ; une autre fois il se réveille dans une journée maléfique : quelque chose a pourri dans l'air, dans la lumière, dans les gestes des gens. M. de Rollebon meurt pour la seconde fois ; un mort ne peut jamais justifier un vivant. Roquentin se traîne au hasard des rues, volumineux et injustifiable. Et puis, le premier jour du printemps, il comprend le sens de son aventure : la Nausée, c'est l'Existence qui se dévoile.

Marion Brunet • 2024
1997. Mano et Axelle, aussi passionnées que révoltées, évoluent dans le milieu engagé et militant d'une ville étudiante. Exaltées par leurs idéaux, entourées par un groupe soudé, elles rêvent d'un autre ordre social tout en laissant naître entre elles un amour fou. Jusqu'au jour où elles participent à un braquage qui tourne mal : l'une tue un policier et écope d'une lourde peine de prison, l'autre parvient à s'échapper. Vingt-cinq ans plus tard, dans la campagne où elle a posé sa caravane, Mano attend, bouleversée, car une femme la cherche. Est-ce la possibilité de retrouvailles si longtemps rêvées ou le moment de solder les comptes ? En explorant le destin brisé de deux jeunes femmes en quête d'amour et de justice, Marion Brunet excelle une fois de plus à raconter l'intime au coeur de la société par la grâce de son écriture sensible et juste.
La prochaine fois que tu mordras la poussière
Panayotis Pascot • 2023
Ce livre me fait peur. Il a été douloureux à pondre. Mon père nous a annoncé qu'il n'allait pas tarder à mourir et je me suis mis à écrire. Trois années au peigne fin, mes relations, mes pensées paranoïaques, mon rapport étrange avec lui, crachés sur le papier. Je me suis donné pour but de le tuer avant qu'il ne meure. Ce que je ne savais pas c'est que j'allais traverser un épisode dépressif si intense que j'allais frôler la mort moi aussi...0C'est l'histoire de quelqu'un qui cherche à tuer. Soi, ou le père, finalement ça revient au même... " P. P. Panayotis Pascot s'attaque d'une plume tranchante et moderne à trois thématiques qu'il tisse ensemble pour composer un récit autobiographique aussi acide qu'ultralucide. La relation au père, l'acception de son homosexualité et la dépression s'enchevêtrent ici dans un violent passage à l'âge adulte.0Mais la lumière y sort toujours d'un regard, une façon d'observer le quotidien avec autant de tendresse et d'humour que de clairvoyance. Un livre événement.

« Je m'appelle Fatima Daas. Je suis la mazoziya, la dernière. Celle à laquelle on ne s'est pas préparé. Française d'origine algérienne. Je suis musulmane. Une Clichoise qui passe plus de trois heures par jour dans les transports. Cette banlieusarde qui observe les comportements parisiens. Je suis une menteuse, une pécheresse. Adolescente, je suis une élève instable. Adulte, je suis hyperinadaptée. J'écris des histoires pour éviter de vivre la mienne. L'amour, c'était tabou à la maison, la sexualité aussi. Lorsque Nina a débarqué dans ma vie, je ne savais plus du tout ce dont j'avais besoin et ce qu'il me manquait. »<br/>Ici l’écriture cherche à inventer l’impossible : comment danser dans une impasse jusqu’à ouvrir une porte là où se dressait un mur. Virginie Despentes.<br/>Une bombe à fragmentation qui ausculte avec finesse et passion la question de l’identité. Clémentine Goldszal, Elle.<br/>Un premier livre d’une grande puissance. Nathalie Crom, Télérama.<br/>Prix Les Inrockuptibles 2020 catégorie premier roman.
