Title: Treasure Island - Robert Louis Stevenson - book Summary : Irony and paradox shape this singular coming-of-age novel, which has become a classic of children's literature, even though it is much more than that. A fourteen-year-old child, Jim Hawkins, learns to be a master, mentored by the most deceptively good-natured of buccaneers. His madness proves to be a good advisor, and his numerous misconducts save the clan of adults, guardians of a decidedly too wise law. As for the treasure, stolen from under the pirates' noses, it is immediately spent, as if it burned their fingers, as if the call of gold had been succeeded by its curse. Nourished by elementary emotions, between wonder and terror, dream and nightmare, this story consecrates the most subtle of writers, elevating adventure to the rank of major art.

Title: The Last Day of a Condemned Man - Followed by Claude Gueux and the Tapner Affair - Victor Hugo - book Summary : "V. Hugo wrote admirable poems, he wrote admirable novels and admirable dramas; but, for us, his capital work - when the executioner has been chased away - will be to have helped to chase the executioner away. "There is something greater than a great poet or a great novelist, and that is a wise man. There is something more beautiful, more enviable than imagination, and that is the heart." This was at a time when Joseph de Maistre saw the death penalty as the keystone of the social edifice. But Pierre Larousse was right to congratulate himself on the effectiveness of this strange book. Hugo reinvents his art to serve the noblest of causes. Who is he, this condemned man? What crime has he committed? We will never know. With his hand, with his pen, he simply has to lead us towards his immediate future. How can we think about man when man decides on the death of man?

On board: Alonso, King of Naples, his son, and Antonio, King of Milan. On the island where they are stranded, Prospero reigns, a great connoisseur of occult sciences, who has mastered the taming of fantastical beings, such as Caliban, the monstrous son of the witch Sycorax, or Ariel, the spirit of air and water, who makes storms arise. A dramatic twist: Antonio, one of the shipwrecked, is none other than Prospero's brother, whom he exiled from Milan to seize the throne from him. For Prospero, the hour of revenge has come... With The Tempest (1611), his last play, Shakespeare signs his most serious tragicomedy: against the backdrop of rivalry between two brothers fighting for power, the eternal struggle between good and evil, between truth and illusion, plays out.

Title: The Prey - Irène Némirovsky - book Summary : Nothing is more bitter than seeing superhuman efforts yield so little happiness. There remains only one possible consolation: to tell oneself that there is no happiness. First published in 1938, this novel, with its Stendhalian undertones, tells the story of the social rise and fall of an ambitious young man, Jean-Luc Daguerne, whose love for his beloved will lead him to his downfall. Against this tried-and-true backdrop, Irène Némirovsky makes the words dance with humor and brilliantly plays with human passions and the cruelties of fate. But this Prey owes much to the 1930s, to their tragic energy, to all their shattered hopes. It is this mad dash toward the abyss that makes it so modern. We have been rediscovering the work of Irène Némirovsky with pleasure since the posthumous publication of Suite française in 2004. A very prominent novelist in Paris in the 1930s, Irène Némirovsky, born in Kiev in 1903, died in Auschwitz, was arrested on July 13, 1942 by the French police.

Title : Ninety-three - Victor Hugo - Book Summary : 1793: a terrifying year in which the Revolution was attacked from all sides and responded to the threat with the Terror. Three men embodied the struggle between the partisans of the Ancien Régime and those of the Republic of Enlightenment and progress: the Marquis de Lantenac, an old aristocrat who was the soul of the Vendée insurrection; Cimourdain, a member of the people and an intractable delegate of the Convention; and Gauvain—nephew of the Marquis and spiritual son of Cimourdain—a nobleman who had joined the ranks of the people. Their terrible confrontation would reveal, beyond the bloody twists and turns of the Revolution, the greatness of the man, his moral conscience, and his integrity. The edition's dossier offers an analysis of David's painting, The Sabine Women (1799), an allegory of France after the Terror.
