As night falls over Vienna, Franz Ritter, an insomniac musicologist, takes to his sickbed with an unspecified illness and spends a restless night drifting between dreams and memories, revisiting the important chapters of his life: his ongoing fascination with the Middle East and his numerous travels to Istanbul, Aleppo, Damascus, and Tehran, as well as the various writers, artists, musicians, academics, orientalists, and explorers who populate this vast dreamscape. At the center of these memories is his elusive, unrequited love, Sarah, a fiercely intelligent French scholar caught in the intricate tension between Europe and the Middle East.
With exhilarating prose and sweeping erudition, Mathias Énard pulls astonishing elements from disparate sources--nineteenth-century composers and esoteric orientalists, Balzac and Agatha Christie--and binds them together in a most magical way.

Le 27 octobre 1949, le nouvel avion d'Air France, le Constellation, lance par l'extravagant M. Howard Hughes, accueille trente-sept passagers. Le 28 octobre, l'avion ne repond plus a la tour de controle. Il a disparu en descendant sur l'ile Santa Maria, dans l'archipel des Acores. Aucun survivant. La question que pose Adrien Bosc dans cet ambitieux premier roman n'est pas tant comment, mais pourquoi ? Quel est l'enchainement d'infimes causalites qui, mises bout a bout, ont precipite l'avion vers le mont Redondo ? Quel est le hasard objectif, notion chere aux surrealistes, qui rend necessaire ce tombeau d'acier ? Et qui sont les passagers ? Si l'on connait Marcel Cerdan, l'amant boxeur d'Edith Piaf, si l'on se souvient de cette musicienne prodige que fut Ginette Neveu, dont une partie du violon sera retrouvee des annees apres, l'auteur lie les destins entre eux. Entendre les morts, ecrire leur legende minuscule et offrir a quarantehuit hommes et femmes, comme autant de constellations, vie et recit.
Acompaña a Coraline y déjate transportar al mundo de fantasía y terror creado por el premiado autor Neil Gaiman. El libro en que se basó la película.
«Damas y caballeros, niñas y niños, pónganse en pie y aplaudan: Coraline es una obra maestra.» --Philip Pullman, The Guardian Al día siguiente de mudarse de casa, Coraline explora las catorce puertas de su nuevo hogar. Trece se pueden abrir con normalidad, pero la decimocuarta está cerrada y tapiada. Cuando por fin consigue abrirla, Coraline se encuentra con un pasadizo secreto que la conduce a otra casa tan parecida a la suya que resulta escalofriante. Sin embargo, hay ciertas diferencias que llaman su atención: la comida es más rica, los juguetes son tan desconocidos como maravillosos y, sobre todo, hay otra madre y otro padre que quieren que Coraline se quede con ellos, se convierta en su hija y no se marche nunca. Pronto Coraline se da cuenta de que, tras los espejos, hay otros niños que han caído en la trampa. Son como almas perdidas, y ahora ella es su única esperanza de salvación. Pero para rescatarlos tendrá también que recuperar a sus verdaderos padres, y cumplir así el desafío que le permitirá volver a su vida anterior.
