Title : Three Mint Lollipops - Robert Sabatier - book Summary : Olivier, the little boy in Swedish Matches , has left his beloved rue Labat to live with his uncle. For the child, this means a change of planet. The bourgeois world, the opulent apartment, and the Desrousseaux family's high society life surprise and disconcert him. Olivier has difficulty fitting in. But such is life, and soon he will realize that his curiosity is constantly aroused. Who is Uncle Henri really? And Aunt Victoria? There are also the cousins, the two maids, and, since we entertain a lot, a whole host of comical, grandiose or ridiculous characters. And then, and above all, the streets of Paris, the Canal Saint-Martin, the astonishing Grands Boulevards, their mysterious passages, their theaters, their cinemas, their music halls... Three Mint Lollipops , a marvelous sequel to Swedish Matches , revives a way of life, a thousand forgotten facts, a whole celebration of life which appears, from page to page, in a universe of truth and poetry.

Title : Typhoon - Joseph Conrad - book Summary : Stop!" roared Mr. Rout. No one—not even Captain MacWhirr, who, alone on deck, had seen a white line of foam advancing, so high that he could hardly believe his eyes—no one was ever to know what the steepness of that wave had been, and the frightful depth of the chasm that the hurricane had dug behind the moving wall of water. It was running to meet the ship; and the Nan-Shan, then, stopping as if to gird up its loins, raised its bows, then jumped. The flames of all the lamps drooped, darkening the engine room; one of them went out. With a heart-rending crash, a furious and whirling tumult, tons of water fell on the deck..."

Title : Too Much Happiness - Alice Munro - book Summary : On the train platform, a black cat crosses their path obliquely. She hates cats. Black cats even more. But she says nothing and suppresses a shudder. As if to reward this restraint, he announces that he will travel with her to Cannes, if she agrees. She can barely reply, she is so grateful. Alice Munro's characters chase happiness. A vain, desperate, and dizzying quest, but one they pursue relentlessly. In this collection of short stories, we encounter a student who accepts an old man's indecent proposals, a grieving mother who changes her identity, and a woman finally facing her share of cruelty. With precise and sensitive writing, Alice Munro highlights the invisible forces guiding each destiny. EAN : 9782879297293 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : Three Days at My Mother's - François Weyergans - book Summary : "On the train, he pressed his head against the window and saw, superimposed on it, floating amidst a backdrop of scrub, a pale, tense face, his own, with its unmistakable forehead, high and receding hairline, swollen eyelids, and thin-lipped mouth. He felt like saying to himself: "What can I do for you?" This face so close to his inspired a deep sympathy in him." Night after night, a deeply disturbed man protects himself by recalling his past—so many travels, so many haunting romantic encounters. His memory makes him dizzy. Will his memories help him get better? He invents a series of doubles who lead romantic lives just as turbulent as his own. He wants to visit his mother. She lives alone in Provence and will soon be ninety. He has a job to finish first. His mother tells him, "Instead of sending faxes to your dozen or so lovers, you should publish a book, otherwise people will think you're dead." Better than anyone, François Weyergans combines depth and humor, emotion and laughter, in this novel which powerfully affirms the powers of literature.

Title : You Belong to Me - Mary Higgins Clark - book Summary : Susan Chandler has built a solid reputation as a psychologist, notably thanks to the show she hosts on a New York radio station. But nothing prepares her for the most extreme dangers. Especially not those that await her in the investigation she embarks upon after inviting the author of a book on the mysterious disappearances of several women. She has no idea that she has just stepped into a terrible spiral. Nor that she will face the madness of a psychopath who offers each of his future victims a ring engraved with the words: "You belong to me." By leading us on the trail of a formidable and unsuspected "serial killer," Mary Higgins Clark once again demonstrates her mastery. This chase of a woman against death is undoubtedly one of the titles—the 100th Special Suspense!—that will mark the collection. Breathtaking, relentless, a new masterpiece of suspense that will surprise you. EAN : 9782226100641 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : Truisms - Marie Darrieussecq - book Summary The director was very kind to me the day I was hired. I was allowed to run my perfume shop on my own. It was going well. Only, when the first symptoms appeared, I had to leave the perfume shop. It wasn't a matter of decency or anything; it was just that everything was getting too complicated. Luckily, I met Edgar, and Edgar, as you know, became President of the Republic. I was Edgar's muse. But no one recognized me. I had changed too much. Had I missed the chance of a lifetime? In any case, I still didn't really understand what was happening to me. It was especially this bruise under my right breast that worried me..."
