Title: The Little Boyfriend - Donna Tartt - book Summary : The literary event of the 2003 back-to-school season. Donna Tartt returns after a 10-year absence! A drama about family, guilt, and revenge, moved to the world of children's literature and evoking the literature of the Old American South. A dark novel that blends the whimsy of Mark Twain with the charm of Carson McCullers and the darkness of William Faulkner... Here it is at last, the highly anticipated new novel from the author of Master of Illusions, a worldwide bestseller. In a small Mississippi town, Harriet Cleve Dufresnes grows up in the shadow of her brother. When she was still a baby, he was found dead, hanging from a tree in the garden. His murderer was never identified, and despite the passing years, the family has never recovered from the tragedy. For Harriet, who, mostly left to her own devices, lives in a fantasy world, her brother represents a link to a glorious past she knows only from stories and photographs glimpsed in picture books. Fiercely determined, remarkably precocious for her twelve years, and steeped in the adventure literature of Stevenson, Kipling, and Conan Doyle, she decides one summer to find the murderer and exact her revenge. Her only ally in this quest, her friend Hely, is devoted to her. But what they discover is far removed from their childhood games: it is a dark adult world, full of threats, where, outside the family intimacy, lurk enlightened preachers, criminals, drug traffickers... A picture of family nostalgia and grief, The boyfriend explores the world of crime and punishment. With its exceptional narrative power, this second novel undoubtedly confirms the sparkling talent of its author. " The boyfriend confirms the range of Donna Tartt's talents, and even amplifies them. This book reflects an enormous talent." New York Observer " The boyfriend is as good, and perhaps even better, than Tartt's first novel." The Sun, London "As the story moves toward its climax, Tartt's genius for suspense resurfaces: the final sequence, masterfully executed, takes your breath away. His writing flows: it is magnificent, visual, and erudite." The Times, London EAN: 9782259198172 Used book at low prices The book matches the photo See the different states

Title : My Mother's Piano - Yann Queffélec - Book Summary : My mother sang, played the piano, and ensured everyone's happiness. My father was famous, my sister a musical prodigy, my brother Hervé a magnificently absent-minded mathematician. I myself was a persevering dunce, a friend of the poètes maudits. A piano, if not two, cooed in the house. Epinal images are beautiful, they thwart destiny..." This book traces the stormy relationship I always had with my father, the man I loved, admired, and feared the most, and who wanted to make me bend to his law. It also tells the story of the decline of the Queffélec family, contradictory people, as modest as they were pretentious, as discreet as they were arrogant. "This autobiographical story ends with the death of his mother in 1969. "She disappeared so furtively that I still wonder today when she will return. Looking back," writes Yann Queffélec, "I ask myself a question. Was my mother ever happy with us, so demanding? With this book, I go to meet her, I join her...

Title : The Pianist - The Extraordinary Destiny of a Jewish Musician in the Warsaw Ghetto 1939-1945 - Wladylaw Szpilman - Book Summary : September 1939: Warsaw is crushed under German bombs. Before being silenced, the national radio station makes its last broadcast. The strains of Chopin's Nocturne in C-sharp minor rise up. The performer's name is Wladyslaw Szpilman. He is Jewish. For him, a long night is beginning... Six years later, when Radio Poland resumes its broadcasts, it will be broadcasting the same piece, by the same performer. In the meantime, Szpilman will have experienced it all—and survived it all: the ghetto, the extermination of his people, the Warsaw Uprising, and then the city's destruction by the Germans. When, frozen and starving, wandering from hiding place to hiding place, he is an inch from death, the most unlikely of rescuers appears: a German officer, a righteous man named Wilm Hosenfeld. Haunted by the atrocity of his people's crimes, they will protect him. In 1946, Szpilman published his story. It was called "The Robinson Crusoe of Warsaw." The book was almost immediately banned by the communist regime. It would take more than fifty years for this strangely detached text, both sober and moving, to be finally rediscovered. After serving as director of Polish national radio, Wladyslaw Szpilman had an international career as a composer and pianist. He died in Warsaw in July 2000.

Title : The Black Pharaoh - Christian Jacq - book Summary : The temples of Northern Egypt are deserted, the gods forgotten. Everyone now thinks only of making the most profit for themselves. Injustice and corruption reign. Five centuries after Ramses, far from its past splendor, the empire seems headed for irremediable ruin. One man, a Nubian, refuses this inevitability. Piankhy, the "living," the black pharaoh, governs his southern kingdom with wisdom and kindness. In his heart, a single desire: that the gods once again reside in a united Egypt, nourished by justice and love. But the price to pay is heavy for this man of peace: he would have to confront the Libyan Tefnakt, an authoritarian and ambitious northern prince, who wants to restore order and reign in glory—by subduing the country by force. Between the black pharaoh and the Libyan prince, war is inevitable. And the victory of one or the other of these inflexible wills depends on the survival of a thousand-year-old world... Despite his courage and the magic of his wife, is the black pharaoh truly capable of achieving the impossible? EAN : 9782221086254 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo
