Title : Brave New World - Aldous Huxley - book Summary : Nearly a century ago, in stunning visions, Aldous Huxley imagined a future civilization down to its most surprising workings: a perfectly hierarchical World State had confined the last wild humans to reserves.

The lower castes, for their part, were conditioned to be fully satisfied with their lot. In this society where happiness is the law, family, monogamy, and feelings are banished. The best of all possible worlds is possible. Today, it even seems familiar to us. EAN: 9782266128568 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : Delicacy - David Foenkinos - book Summary : François thought: If she orders a decaf, I'll get up and leave. It's the least convivial drink there is. Tea isn't much better. You feel like you're going to spend Sunday afternoons watching television. Or worse: at the in-laws'. Finally, he decides that a juice would be good. Yes, a juice is nice. It's convivial and not too aggressive. You smell like a sweet and balanced girl. But which juice? It's better to avoid the classics: let's avoid apple or orange, too common. You have to be a little bit original, but not eccentric. Papaya or guava are scary. Apricot juice is perfect. If she chooses that, I'll marry her... "I'll have a juice... Apricot juice, I think," Nathalie replied. He looked at her as if she were an invasion of reality. EAN : 9782070440252 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo
