Sa Majesté des Mouches
William Golding · 2008
Soit un groupe d'enfants, de six à treize ans, que l'on isole sur une île déserte. Qu'advient-il d'eux après quelques mois? William Golding tente l'expérience. Après les excitantes excursions et parties de baignade, il faut s'organiser pour survivre. C'est au moins la réflexion de Ralph, celui qui fut élu chef au temps heureux des commencements, et du fidèle Piggy. Mais c'est ce que refusent de comprendre Jack, le second aspirant au "trône", et les siens. Cette première division clanique n'est pas loin de reproduire un schéma social ancestral. S'ensuivent des comportements qui boudent peu à peu la civilisation et à travers lesquels les rituels immémoriaux le disputent à une sauvagerie d'une violence sans limite. Dès Sa Majesté des Mouches (1954), porté à l'écran par Peter Brook (1963), apparaît l'obsession de William Golding : l'homme est foncièrement mauvais. Le monde est porteur d'une cruauté sans faille dans laquelle chacun se fourvoie et finit par périr, comme il l'illustre plus tard dans Les Héritiers ou Parade sauvage. L'écrivain reçut le prix Nobel de littérature en 1983

Gatsby le magnifique
F. Scott Fitzgerald · 2003
The only edition of the beloved classic that is authorized by Fitzgerald’s family and from his lifelong publisher. This edition is the enduring original text, updated with the author’s own revisions, a foreword by his granddaughter, and with a new introduction by National Book Award winner Jesmyn Ward. The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s third book, stands as the supreme achievement of his career. First published by Scribner in 1925, this quintessential novel of the Jazz Age has been acclaimed by generations of readers. The story of the mysteriously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s.
L'Etranger
Albert Camus · 2018
Camus' sparse parable about the human condition is one of the great stories of the 20th Century, here adapted for the stage by Booker prize winner Ben Okri. A faceless man who can no longer pretend, Mersault commits a senseless murder under the glare of the Algerian sun. On trial he feels distanced from proceedings, he is castigated for not expressing remorse, for not crying at his mother's funeral, and is forced to confront the hypocrisy and injustice of society. In an age where we are being increasingly told what to feel, The Outsider is a blast of uncompromising honesty. Albert Camus, French novelist, essayist, philosopher and Nobel laureate, was one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th Century. Ben Okri, author of The Famished Road, is one of contemporary literature's most important writers. This adaption brings them together for a rare dramatisation of one of modern literature's most celebrated works.
Lolita
Vladimir Nabokov · 1989
Awe and exhiliration--along with heartbreak and mordant wit--abound in <b>Lolita</b>, Nabokov's most famous and controversial novel, which tells the story of the aging Humbert Humbert's obsessive, devouring, and doomed passion for the nymphet Dolores Haze. <b>Lolita</b> is also the story of a hypercivilized European colliding with the cheerful barbarism of postwar America. Most of all, it is a meditation on love--love as outrage and hallucination, madness and transformation.
Le meilleur des mondes
Aldous Huxley · 2013
Cent ans de solitude
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
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.

Le Rouge et le Noir
Stendhal · 2020
Alors que Napoléon, son modèle, est à jamais défait, Julien Sorel est condamné à grandir dans une famille mesquine, à vivre dans une province trop étroite. Soldat privé de bataille, il ne lui reste que le coeur des femmes à faire saigner. Ce sera d'abord Mme de Rênal, jeune femme mélancolique dont il est devenu le précepteur des enfants. Arrivé à Paris, il séduira Mathilde de la Mole, jeune et fougueuse aristocrate, non pour sa fortune mais par défi. Tous se retrouveront dans le claquement des pistolets. Stendhal puise dans un fait divers sanglant la singularité tranchante de son roman. Loin d'une fresque abstraite, Le Rouge et le Noir a tout d'un corps rouge du sang qui s'y écoule, noir de la poudre qui y brûle.

Le Grand Meaulnes
Jennifer Hashmi, Alain Fournier · 2020
Alain-Fournier, was born in 1886 in La Chapelle-d'Angillon in the Cher region of France. His book "Le Grand Meaulnes" is about adolescence and regret for that which is lost. Jennifer Hashmi has not tried to transform Le Grand Meaulnes into an English version of a French novel. The poetic style of the original has been left intact, pointing always to something unattainable. Alain-Fournier communicates in hints, recollections, and frequent ellipses when Francois leaves the reader to intuit the rest for himself. Ms. Hashmi has adhered to the French wording and gaps in order to retain the intangible quality of Alain-Fournier's narrative. The story is about searching for that which is lost, lost youth, lost people, and is told by Francois who narrates all that is precious in his memory of Augustin Meaulnes, who changed his life for ever, and the lives of all of his class at Sainte-Agathe.
