Title : Off the coast of Eden - Roger Vercel - book Summary : A story of fishermen hired on one of the first cargo ships dedicated to cod fishing. Gone are the good sailing ships they had always known until then; now they have to relearn the trade on these boats where there is almost nothing to do. But if the boat, if the fishing ground changes, some things remain immutable. You must always rely on the captain of the ship, put your fortune in his hands, because it is he who decides the fishing grounds; put your life in his hands, because it is he who holds the fate of all the men he takes with him, the responsibility of a father over his children. An accusation of infidelity for the captain's wife, left alone on land for so many months. The worst betrayal for a sailor, wounded in his flesh. Why does this subject interest Roger Vercel so much since it has already been found in several novels? Perhaps because he takes the victim at the moment when it will hurt her the most, at a time when she cannot fight and at a time when she must not falter, a moment when thoughts will invade her, take precedence over her responsibilities. Weighing the responsibility of an entire crew against the heart of a man: an experience he repeats from all angles, from the victim or the culprit, from the man or the woman, happy or unhappy ending, to fully understand the consequences. But of course, the reader, like the sailors on the ship, finds himself held hostage by the madness that takes hold of the captain, of the ship. The anguish that gnaws at him, the uncertain outcome, against which he can do nothing... EAN: 9782226043146 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : The house of Bernarda Alba blood wedding - Federico Garcia Lorca - book Summary : Blood Wedding Lorca was inspired by a news item reported in July 1928. But it was only in 1931 that he began to compose his play. He finished it during the summer of 1932. Premiered on March 8, 1933 in Madrid where it was a great success, acclaimed for months in Buenos Aires, it toured the world and unfortunately its triumph obscured all the rest of Lorca's work, permanently associating his image for the majority with that of an exclusively Andalusian, folkloric author. Not that it lacks beauty: noble architecture, admirable scenes, but it betrays an excessive desire to flatter the public's taste with its declamatory frenzy and easy lyricism. The House of Bernarda Alba Starting from a childhood memory that had greatly impressed him, Lorca had set out to compose a simple "photographic documentary" without "a drop of poetry." But his genius decided otherwise. He made The House of Bernarda Alba, as his brother Don Francisco asserts, perhaps the most poetic of all his plays. By moving the action from the beginning of the 20th century to the eve of the Civil War, the first cracklings of which can be heard, he establishes a burning climate of demands and social unrest that extends to exploited domestics and all dominated women. The incandescent prose burns all the flowers of lyricism. And poetry from then on is called revolt. EAN: 9782070339068 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : The Last Herd - Maurice Genevoix - book Summary : The story of a deer, Le Rouge, who becomes the leader of the herd, and the strange fascination he exerts on another solitary of the forest, the huntsman La Futaie, until the final confrontation. "Hunting is nothing," wrote Maurice Genevoix, "if it is not first poetry. Poetry of the quest, of the pursuit and of adventure; instinctive and profound sympathy with the branch carrying clues, the trampled grass, the humus where an imprint is imprinted; with what hides, slips, slips away and escapes, but leaves behind a smell, a down, a flake that the thorn catches and which remains warm in the sun, alive with the passing breaths."
