Title : The Thing - John Wood Campbell - book
Summary :
Somewhere in Antarctica. Buried beneath the ice, near an artifact that looks like a spaceship, scientists discover a frozen body—presumably lying there for millions of years. A body that is decidedly inhuman. Decidedly... other. The decision is then made to bring the astonishing discovery back to the station for study. Slowly, the layer of ice around the creature begins to melt, gradually releasing this utterly terrifying strangeness. And the questions raced through the team of researchers: What is this thing? How did it get there? And after all, is it even dead? Haven't they uncovered the most horrific of abominations—a truly cosmic horror? A gripping tale published in 1938, presented here in a new translation, The Thing is a huge classic of world science fiction. Adapted for the screen three times, this short novel lays the foundations of the horror sci-fi narrative.

Title : The Devil's Sons - Volume 1 - Chloé Wallerand - book
Summary : Joining a gang? Avalone could never have considered it. Finding a family in the midst of all this violence? Even less so. And yet... If I thought I'd spend my first year of college in the most ordinary way, focused on my studies, accompanied by two or three friends, nothing could have prepared me for the turn my life was about to take. I should have known that having a best friend whose brother was in the Devil's Sons was going to be a source of trouble. But the last thing I imagined was finding myself tied to the activities of a pagan Michigan gang. Much less forging a friendship with these armed bad boys. And certainly not being attracted to Clarke Taylor, the most uncontrollable and dangerous of these boys... Now I'm trapped, and I have only one option: help them. Against my will...

Title : The Stein Report - José Carlos Llop - book
Summary : A past fraught with threats that darkens the present and blocks the future gives Llop's novels an inimitable tone. The outside world is as opaque as consciences, and the shadow of civil war disqualifies innocence, even childish ones, from the outset. We are in Spain, at the end of the 1960s, in a provincial port city. The hero, an overly sensitive teenager, feels trapped in a world where adults seem condemned to guilt, extravagance, and decline. At his grandparents' house, where he lives, the atmosphere is as stifling as that of the Jesuit school he attends. Until the day Stein appears, a new student whose free-spirited manner and casualness bring a wonderful breath of modernity and a spirit of adventure to the class. Spanish critics have compared The Stein Report to The Great Meaulnes and The Disarray of Student Törless. José Carlos Llop was born in Palma de Mallorca in 1956. He received the Best Short Stories Published in Spain award in 1999 and has published six collections of poetry, a Journal, and several novels, two of which were published by our publishers: Parle-moi du troisième homme (Tell Me About the Third Man) in 2005 and Le Messager d'Alger (The Messenger of Algiers) in 2006. Both were enthusiastically received by French critics.

Title : On Love and Loneliness - Jiddu Krishnamurti - book
Summary :
What is love? Possession, pleasure, the certainty of reciprocity? What do we call "loneliness," and why do we suffer from it? Addressing audiences as diverse as India, the United States, and England, Jiddu Krishnamurti has continually returned to these themes. Far from imposing a system on us, and proceeding most often by means of questions, he leads us step by step along the path to true emancipation. It is by freeing ourselves from the wounds of the past, as well as from the satisfactions and pleasures that each of us yearns to rediscover, that our minds can regain innocence and openness. Only then will we know what value and what place to give to sexuality as to friendship, to tenderness as to knowledge. And we will be able to truly love... The author of The Awakening of Intelligence and Liberating Oneself from the Known, who passed away in 1986, leaves a philosophical message accessible to everyone and of universal significance to a 21st century more enamored than ever with spirituality and peace.

Title : A Summer with Montaigne - Antoine Compagnon - book
Summary : For a long time, I wondered if I would dare to quote the very irreverent conclusion of the Essays, at the risk of frightening delicate ears... "Aesop, that great man, saw his master peeing while walking. What then," he said, "must we have to shit while running? Let us save time, we still have a lot of it idle and badly spent." An entire philosophy of life is thus summed up in a few striking words. Renaissance men were not as fussed as we are and frankly said what they thought. The last chapter of the Essays, "On Experience," sets out Montaigne's final wisdom, often associated with Epicureanism. Let us take the time to live; let us follow nature; let us enjoy the present moment; let's not rush into anything." In 40 chapters, Antoine Compagnon interprets Montaigne in a funny and clear way: from the notion of commitment to the throne of the world, passing through conversation, friendship or education, wasted time and even excess weight. He shows both the historical depth and the current scope of the Essays.

Title : Immortal hike - Compostela in spite of myself - Jean-Christophe Rufin - book
Summary : "Every time I've been asked the question 'Why did you go to Santiago?', I've been hard pressed to answer. Because the Way has the effect, if not the virtue, of making you forget the reasons that led you to embark on it. You've just left, that's all." Jean-Christophe Rufin followed the "Northern Way" to Santiago: 800 kilometers along the Basque and Cantabrian coasts, through the wild mountains of Asturias and Galicia. He gradually transformed himself into a heavenly tramp, a backpacker on the road to Compostela. He tells us, with delicious self-mockery, about this human and spiritual journey.
