Le plus beau livre sur l'amitié enfantine: un matin de chasse dans les collines, Marcel rencontre le petit paysan., Lili des Bellons. Ses vacances et sa vie entière en seront illuminées.
Un an après La Gloire de mon père, Marcel Pagnol pensait conclure ses Souvenirs d'enfance avec ce Château de ma mère (1958), deuxième volet de ce qu il considérait comme un diptyque, s'achevant sur la scène célèbre du féroce gardien effrayant la timide Augustine. Le petit Marcel., après la tendresse familiale, a découvert l'amitié avec le merveilleux Lili., sans doute le plus attachant de ses personnages. Le livre se clôt sur un épilogue mélancolique., poignante élégie au temps qui a passé. Pagnol y fait vibrer les cordes d'une gravité à laquelle il a rarement habitué ses lecteurs.
« Hé ! l'ami !
Je vis un garçon de mon âge qui me regardait sévèrement. Il ne faut pas toucher les pièges des autres. dit-il. Un piège, c'est sacré ! - Je n'allais pas le prendre, dis-je. Je voulais voir l'oiseau.
II s'approcha: c 'était un petit paysan. Il était, brun, avec un fin visage provençal, des yeux noirs et de longs cils de fille. »

Two volumes of Colette's most beloved works, with a new Introduction by Judith Thurman.
Chéri, together with The Last of Chéri, is a classic story of a love affair between a very young man and a charming older woman. The amour between Fred Peloux, the beautiful gigolo known as Chéri, and the courtesan Léa de Lonval tenderly depicts the devotion that stems from desire, and is an honest account of the most human preoccupations of youth and middle age. With compassionate insight Colette paints a full-length double portrait using an impressionistic style all her own.
A lively introduction for children to written Chinese, Chineasy(R) for Children makes learning Chinese fun and simple. The book features playful illustrations by Noma Bar that relate each character's shape to its meaning, alongside games and activities to make learning interactive.
Introductory spreads explain how Chinese is written in pictograms--characters form building blocks for other words and sentences. Subsequent spreads feature lively scenes that help children to recognize over 100 Chinese characters. The book is organized by themes such as numbers, family, animals, and food, each section covering vocabulary within that topic. Stories about the development of characters and customs provide the perfect introduction to Chinese culture, while games and activities allow children to put into practice what they have learned. The book also features a picture library of characters for avid linguists to memorize as well as guidance on Mandarin pronunciation.
Entrepreneur ShaoLan Hsueh created Chineasy(R) to educate the world about the richness of Chinese culture through its written language. Her visual, building-block-style teaching method makes learning characters simple and fun: by learning common characters, readers can quickly grasp and communicate basic words and phrases while traveling.
Illustrated by Noma Bar, this guide breaks down essential characters for reading directions, making purchases, using public transport, ordering food off a menu, and more. Through teaching fundamental building-blocks, ShaoLan also explains the history and cultural influences behind each character. Whether you are planning a business trip or a vacation, Chineasy(R) Travel is the perfect pocket-sized companion to help you break down the barriers of language and culture, and broaden your traveling horizons in the Chinese-speaking world.

Beginning with The Ancient Ones, the chapters describe Choctaw prehistory, daily life before contact, ritual and religion, trade, removal to Indian Territory, schools, newspapers, and contemporary life.

Pronto una serie de Netflix "Muchos años después, frente al pelotón de fusilamiento, el coronel Aureliano Buendía había de recordar aquella tarde remota en que su padre lo llevó a conocer el hielo". Con estas palabras empieza una novela ya legendaria en los anales de la literatura universal, una de las aventuras literarias más fascinantes del siglo xx. Millones de ejemplares de Cien años de soledad leídos en todas las lenguas y el Premio Nobel de Literatura coronando una obra que se había abierto paso a "boca a boca" --como gusta decir el escritor-- son la más palpable demostración de que la aventura fabulosa de la familia Buendía-Iguarán, con sus milagros, fantasías, obsesiones, tragedias, incestos, adulterios, rebeldías, descubrimientos y condenas, representaba al mismo tiempo el mito y la historia, la tragedia y el amor del mundo entero. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Soon-to-be a Netflix series "One Hundred Years of Solitude is the first piece of literature since the Book of Genesis that should be required reading for the entire human race. . . . Mr. Garcia Marquez has done nothing less than to create in the reader a sense of all that is profound, meaningful, and meaningless in life." --William Kennedy, New York Times Book Review One of the most influential literary works of our time, One Hundred Years of Solitude remains a dazzling and original achievement by the masterful Gabriel Garcia Marquez, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. One Hundred Years of Solitude tells the story of the rise and fall, birth and death of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendiá family. Inventive, amusing, magnetic, sad and alive with unforgettable men and women--brimming with truth, compassion, and a lyrical magic that strikes the soul--this novel is a masterpiece in the art of fiction.
They find the boy by the swimming pool, dolls floating on its surface.
Inside the house, his teacher lies dead.
But he claims to remember nothing...
June 2010. In the middle of a World Cup match, Martin Servaz receives a call from a long-lost lover. A few miles away in the town of Marsac, Classics professor Claire Diemar has been brutally murdered.
As if that weren't disturbing enough, Servaz receives a cryptic e-mail indicating that Julian Hirtmann, the most twisted of all serial killers, is back...and hitting a little too close to home. With death and chaos surrounding the small university town in Southern France where he was once a student and where his daughter is now enrolled, Servaz must act quickly.
With the help of detectives Irene Ziegler and Esperandieu, Servaz will have to uncover a world of betrayal and depravity to connect the dots between these gruesome murders that keep re-opening wounds from his past. After the success of The Frozen Dead, Bernard Minier plunges readers once again into a perfectly constructed, dark and oppressive atmosphere, driven foreward by a gripping plot, pushing the limits of the genre.
