Le Ravissement De Lol V. Stein

Marguerite Duras · 1976

L'histoire de Lol Valérie Stein commence au moment précis où les dernières venues franchissent la porte de la salle de bal du casino municipal de T. Beach. Elle se poursuit jusqu'à l'aurore qui trouve Lol V. Stein profondément changée. Une fois le bal terminé, la nuit finie, une fois rassurés les proches de Lol V. Stein sur son état, cette histoire s'éteint, sommeille, semblerait-il durant dix ans. Lol Stein se marie, quitte sa ville natale, S. Tahla, a des enfants, paraît confiante dans le déroulement de sa vie et se montre heureuse, gaie. Après la période de dix ans la séparant maintenant de la nuit du bal, Lol V. Stein revient habiter à S. Tahla où une situation est offerte à son mari. Elle y retrouve une amie d'enfance qu'elle avait oubliée, Tatiana Karl, celle qui tout au long de la nuit du bal de T. Beach était restée auprès d'elle, ce qu'elle avait également oublié. L'histoire de Lol V. Stein reprend alors pour durer quelques semaines.

1984

George Orwell · 1961

<b>Written more than 70 years ago, <i>1984</i> was George Orwell’s chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, his dystopian vision of a government that will do anything to control the narrative is timelier than ever...<br><br><b>• Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s <i>The Great American Read •</i></b><br></b><br>“<i>The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.</i>”<br><br>Winston Smith toes the Party line, rewriting history to satisfy the demands of the Ministry of Truth. With each lie he writes, Winston grows to hate the Party that seeks power for its own sake and persecutes those who dare to commit thoughtcrimes. But as he starts to think for himself, Winston can’t escape the fact that Big Brother is always watching...<br><br>A startling and haunting novel, <i>1984</i> creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the novel’s hold on the imaginations of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions—a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.

Dracula

Bram Stoker · 2017

When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula with the purchase of a London house, he makes horrifying discoveries about his client and his castle. Soon afterwards, a number of disturbing incidents unfold in England: an unmanned ship is wrecked at Whitby; strange puncture marks appear on a young woman's neck; and the inmate of a lunatic asylum raves about the imminent arrival of his 'Master'. In the ensuing battle of wits between the sinister Count Dracula and a determined group of adversaries, Bram Stoker created a masterpiece of the horror genre, probing deeply into questions of human identity and sanity, and illuminating dark corners of Victorian sexuality and desire.
