Title : Different Seasons - Stephen King - Book Summary : You don't read a Stephen King novel, you devour it. With Different Seasons, our pleasure is quadrupled, because this time King offers us four stories that are actually novels in their own right. An innocent man sentenced to life imprisonment seeks escape; a young boy unmasks a former Nazi in a small Californian town; some kids go looking for a corpse; a doctor tells the story of a young, single, pregnant woman in the 1930s... Nothing in common, on the surface, between these four themes. But behind these heroes of very different ages and backgrounds, it is American society that Stephen King dissects, with his characteristic attention to detail and the right words, his sense of observation, suspense, and dark humor. America does not emerge unscathed from this vivisection. Neither do we... EAN: 9782277224341 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : In case of happiness - David Foenkinos - Book Summary : There are romance novels that are already love films. But Truffaut is no longer here to make them. [...] So it's better to stick to novels, to the rare novels of today that really talk about love. The love we have experienced, the love we are going to experience, for sure, the love we dream of experiencing. Thank you, Foenkinos." Erik Orsenna, of the Académie française "Jubilant! David Foenkinos, eccentric and facetious author, does not deviate from his reputation. [...] For this delightful epic, he delights in social comedy and distills his delightful sentences while discussing once again the future of married life."

Title : Apocalypse on Command - Ken Follett - Book Summary : The Great California Fault, a weak point in the Earth's crust, experiences frequent earthquakes. The one that just occurred, of low intensity, might have gone unnoticed if it hadn't been claimed by terrorists. A claim that neither the FBI nor the police take seriously. Only seismologist Michael Quercus is troubled, because everything indicates that this earthquake was artificially induced. Then a second earthquake shakes a small town, kills the inhabitants, destroys the houses, causes panic, and mysterious "Soldiers of Heaven" threaten to cause a third, apocalyptic one. As comfortable with scientific anticipation as with espionage or historical epics, the author of The Pillars of the Earth draws us here into a terrifying... and perfectly plausible disaster scenario.
