Title : Brooklyn - Colm Tóibín - book
Summary : After The Master (2005), Best Foreign Book Award, Colm Tóibín offers us Brooklyn, Costa Prize (formerly the Whitbread Prize) for the best British novel.
Enniscorthy, southeast Ireland, 1950s. Like many young people of her generation, Eilis Lacey, with an accounting degree in hand, is unable to find work. Through a priest, her sister Rose obtains a job for her in the United States. By pushing her younger sister to leave, Rose sacrifices herself: she will now be alone to care for their widowed mother and will have little chance of marrying. Terrified of leaving the family cocoon, but forced to comply with Rose's decision, Eilis leaves Ireland. In Brooklyn, she rents a room in an Irish boarding house and begins her American life under the watchful eye of the landlady and other tenants. At first, homesickness overwhelms her, leaving her sad and lonely. Then, little by little, she becomes attached to the newness of her existence. To her job as a saleswoman in a department store where the first Black customers make a timid appearance that scandalizes right-thinking souls—except Eilis, who, in her small hometown, has never known racism. To the Friday dance at the local parish church. To the evening classes through which she perfects her accounting skills. In this rhythm between reassuring monotony and exciting new things, Eilis finds a kind of freedom not unlike happiness. And when Tony, a tender, serious, and very much in love Italian, enters her life, she is convinced that her future is mapped out: she will become American. But a family tragedy forces her to cross the Atlantic again for a few weeks in Ireland. Back home, Eilis has become a fashionable, desirable woman, adorned with the charm of an exile. Brooklyn, Tony, American life is veiled in the unreality of dreams. A new future awaits her in the small town of her childhood: a man ready to marry her, a job. Two countries, two jobs, two loves. Irreconcilable possibilities flood Eilis, inflicting on her the small death that the imperative of choices implies.

Title : Elisabeth of Austria or Fate - Jean des Cars - book
Summary :
The tragic and now mythical destiny of an unforgettable female figure.
In 1898, Sissi was assassinated in Geneva by an Italian anarchist. Since then, the Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary has become a myth. A sovereign of legendary beauty, whimsical and solitary, she continues to fascinate millions of men and women. Her destiny, marked by the fatality that strikes great dynasties, still fascinates us. She has inspired painters, poets, psychoanalysts, and filmmakers. This is the real Sissi, bathed in the charm of a Bavarian princess who, in 1854, married Franz Joseph, the emperor who ruled over fifty million subjects. While in Vienna she was criticized, in Budapest, under the name Erszébet, she was venerated because she defended Hungarian nationalism against Austrian influence. A modern figure and avid traveler in a teeming fin-de-siècle, from the Danube palaces to the Greek and Norman coasts, Sissi shunned protocol and took refuge on the borders of nostalgia and nonconformity. Seductive and rebellious, more lucid than many diplomats about the Balkan turmoil, she was a visionary of fin-de-siècle tragedies. Today, in Central Europe, the memory of Sissi is gaining new popularity. For five years, Jean des Cars's investigation took him to the former Habsburg Empire to meet the descendants of Sissi. Meticulous and well-argued, he brings together unpublished or little-known memories, testimonies, and archives, and, thanks to spectacular revelations, sheds original light on this unforgettable woman. From History to Myth, a reference book, already translated in Germany, Japan, Spain, and Hungary.

Behind the walls of the harem, hundreds of slaves, captured from all over Europe, lived in the hope of one day being honored by the Sultan.

She had lost her country, Poland, her name, her freedom, but she was ready for any seduction and any cruelty for power. From then on, her destiny was linked to that of Sultan Suleiman. On the path to glory, perhaps she would encounter love? Roxelana the divine and Suleiman the magnificent: their story was destined to survive the centuries. Vintila Corbul and Mircea Burada bring to life with pomp two exceptional beings who were reunited for eternity in the shadow of a marble mosque.
