Title : Stories That Tilt - Alfred Hitchcock - Book
Summary : Most of the texts presented here have that little something that surprises, seduces, astounds, or grips. It could be the instrument of the crime imagined by Arthur Porges, the unusual atmosphere in Joseph Csida, the fall in Richard Lewis or Fletcher Flora, or even the emotion of a very different quality aroused by Murray Wolf... But, in any case, the tilt occurs and, with the next story, another no less exciting part begins!

Title : High Voltage - Ingrid Astier - Book
Summary : "How many apocalypses can one carry within oneself?" On the outskirts of Paris, a wealthy Saudi's convoy speeds through the night. An unprecedented attack occurs, worthy of the finest teams. "A great albatross" for Commander Suarez and his men from the anti-banditry brigade, stunned by the scope of the affair. Enough to distract them for a while from their obsession with the Gecko - a living legend who strolls the rooftops of Paris, gold on his fingers, as if it were his home, from the dome of the Institut de France to the Saint-Eustache church... Who is the mastermind behind this bloody attack? The convoy's most precious loot, however, is neither money nor diamonds. But a woman, Ylana, as beautiful as she is lost. Ranko is a hardened loner with incredible willpower. But also a man on edge, affected by the history of the former Yugoslavia. The attack on the convoy brings them together. Ranko's destiny has irrevocably changed. Her uncle, Astrakhan, seals this fate by giving her a chess set. The set of Svetozar Gligoric, the grandmaster who carved his pieces from wine corks. And he asks her to fight—at boxing and chess—to infiltrate the art world and steal its finest works from Enki Bilal, the famous artist. War and love hover like vultures. The police, a woman, or fate—who is capable of bringing Ranko down?

Title : The Great Heart - Jean-Christophe Rufin - Book
Summary :
2012 Historical Novel Prize In the heat of a Greek island, a man hides to escape his pursuers. He recalls his extraordinary life and attempts to unravel the skein of his destiny. The son of a humble furrier, he became the richest man in France. He enabled Charles VII to end the Hundred Years' War. He changed the way people viewed the Orient. With him, Europe moved from the time of the Crusades to that of trade. Like his palace in Bourges, a medieval castle on one side and a Renaissance palace on the other, he is a two-faced being. As familiar with kings and the pope as with the humblest homes, he traveled throughout the known world. At the height of his fame, he experienced fall, destitution, and torture before regaining freedom and fortune. Of all the attachments in his life, the most moving was the one that bound him to Agnès Sorel, the Lady of Beauty, the first royal favorite in the history of France, who died at the age of twenty-eight. Her name is Jacques Coeur. We must forget everything we know about the Middle Ages and immerse ourselves in the freshness of this book. It has the power of a picaresque novel, the precision of a biography, and the melancholic charm of confessions.

Title : The House of Memory - Lucia Graves - Book
Summary : September 1939. The Cazalet family, gathered at Home Place, learns of England's entry into the war following the invasion of Poland. One after another, London homes are closed to seek shelter in Sussex, where the concerns of everyone—parent, child, or servant—are regularly interrupted by German raids. Polly, whose parents are sinking into an unbearable silence, turns to Christopher's pacifist speeches and Miss Milliment's attentive ear. Clary, her best friend, records every inch of her life in notebooks and develops a thousand scenarios to explain the silence of her father Rupert, who has disappeared off the French coast. Could he have become a spy alongside General de Gaulle? Zoë, his wife, has just given birth to Juliet, who may never know her father. Fascinated, the two teenagers also observe their cousin Louise: at eighteen, when she makes her debut in a sinister provincial theater, she smokes and wears trousers, to the great displeasure of her family. Second volume of the Cazalet saga, A Rude Test picks up the thread of the lives of characters whose most buried secrets Elizabeth Jane Howard continues to explore, while England suffers the full force of the much-feared world conflict.

Title : The Great Gatsby - Francis Scott Fitzgerald - Book
Summary :
A collection of books written by successful authors to encourage reading in the original version and thus improve your English. In 1920s Long Island, the party is noisy and the drinking plentiful. Especially at Jay Gatsby's. An adventurer with a dark past, an artist remarkable for his ability to create a character from scratch, Gatsby, a solar figure in his radiance, lunar in the mystery he generates, is renowned for the parties he hosts at his sumptuous estate. The opulence, as well as the superficiality of the conversations and human relationships, seem to have no limits. This is why the illusion can only be fleeting. Among the guests of this strange host is Nick Carraway, a lucid observer who alone manages to detect a certain grandeur in Gatsby, the embodiment of multiple aborted promises. Advanced level Francis Scott Fitzgerald entered Princeton University in 1913. Frustrated by not being athletic, brilliant, or wealthy, he devoted his energies to writing musicals. His encounter with the beautiful and eccentric Zelda Sayre would turn his life upside down. In 1920, he achieved success with The Other Side of Paradise. With Zelda, he would embody the "Jazz Age." The couple moved to Paris, like their friend Ernest Hemingway. These years were years of drinking, chaos, and easy money. Fitzgerald wrote The Happy and the Damned, expressing his anxieties. He and his wife then moved to Cap d'Antibes, where they had a daughter, but Zelda's mental health was already deteriorating. It was in France that Fitzgerald completed The Great Gatsby, whose film adaptations would allow him to continue leading an easy life. During the Depression of 1929, the couple was on the French Riviera. Fitzgerald drank increasingly heavily, and Zelda was eventually interned in Switzerland. Unable to sell enough books, Fitzgerald embarked on the lucrative but hated business of writing screenplays for Hollywood. In 1939, he began The Last Tycoon but drank more than ever. He died in 1940 of a heart attack, leaving his novel unfinished.

Title : The Succession - Jean-Paul Dubois - Book
Summary :
Paul Katrakilis has been living in Miami for several years. He has never known such happiness. Yet, he still feels inadequate in the world. Even the Cesta punta, this sport whose beauty transports him and which he practices professionally, can no longer shake off the weight that weighs on his shoulders. When the French consulate calls him to announce his father's death, he finally decides to face the memory of a family he tried in vain to leave behind. For the Katrakilis are anything but ordinary: the grandfather, Spyridon, Stalin's doctor, once fled the USSR with a slice of the dictator's brain in his luggage; the father, Adrian, also a doctor, is a strange, seemingly insensitive man; the mother, Anna, and her own brother lived as husband and wife in the large shared house. It is a whole dynasty that seems, in one way or another, passionately devoted to its own extinction. Paul must now return to France to empty the house. When he comes across two black notebooks secretly kept by his father, he finally understands the meaning of his inheritance.
With In La Succession, Jean-Paul Dubois delivers a heartbreaking story where the nostalgic evocation of happiness blends with the sadness of loss. His elegance, his taste for the absurd, and some of his obsessions remain intact.

Title : The Olive Tree Valley - Françoise Bourdon - Book
Summary :
Every time he contemplated his trees, Ulysses thought of his father, his grandfather, and the generations of Valentines who had succeeded one another at Combe aux Oliviers, an estate in the Nyons region.

When, in the aftermath of the Great War, she takes over the estate, she devotes her life to her trees, including Noé, the oldest, her confidant in good times and bad. At the dawn of a new life, everything changes.

Title : Glacial Times - Fred Vargas - Book
Summary : Adamsberg grabbed his phone, pushed aside a pile of files, and put his feet up on his desk, leaning back in his chair. He'd barely slept a wink of sleep last night; one of his sisters had contracted pneumonia, God knows how. "The woman at 33 bis?" he asked. "Open veins in the bathtub? Why are you bothering me with that at 9 a.m., Bourlin? According to internal reports, it was a proven suicide. Do you have any doubts? Adamsberg liked Commissioner Bourlin. A big eater, a heavy smoker, a perpetual eruption, living life to the fullest, skimming the chasms, hard as a rock and curly like a young lamb, he was a resistance fighter to be respected, who would still be at his post at 100. "Judge Vermillon, the new zealous magistrate, is on me like a tick," said Bourlin. "Do you know what ticks do?"
