Résumé de l'éditeur:

De Prague à Alger, en passant par Paris, de 1910 à 2010, ce roman évoque la traversée d'un siècle par Joseph Kaplan, médecin juif praguois, qui débarque à Paris en 1936. Il écoute les chansons de Carlos Gardel et écume les bars parisiens, insensible à la montée des fascismes européens. Dans les tourmentes de l'Histoire, de la Seconde Guerre mondiale jusqu'à la chute du mur de Berlin, Joseph Kaplan va traverser le siècle en trébuchant puis se relevant.

Dans la veine du Club des incorrigibles optimistes, l'épopée d'un homme balloté dans les soubresauts de la grande histoire, une vie où amours, amitiés, espoirs et renoncements, se mêlent. Une vie de rencontres aussi, à commencer avec Ernesto G. - héros révolutionnaire cubain déchu- qui marquera sa vie à tout jamais.

Sébastien Hébrant, qui a lu Le premier jour et La première nuit de Marc Lévy chez Audiolib, met sa voix talentueuse au service du style à la fois épique et familier de Jean-Michel Guenassia...

Publisher's Summary:

Anais Hendricks, 15, is in the back of a police car, headed for the Panopticon, a home for chronic young offenders. She can't remember the events that led her here, but across town a policewoman lies in a coma and there is blood on Anais' school uniform. Smart, funny, and fierce, Anais is a counter-culture outlaw, a bohemian philosopher in sailor shorts and a pillbox hat. She is also a child, who has been let down, or worse, by just about every adult she has ever met.

The residents of the Panopticon form intense bonds, heightened by their place on the periphery, and Anais finds herself part of an ad hoc family there. Much more suspicious are the social workers, especially Helen, who is about to leave her job for an elephant sanctuary in India but is determined to force Anais to confront the circumstances of her birth before she goes. Looking up at the watchtower that looms over the residents, Anais knows her fate: She is part of an experiment, she always was, it's a given, a liberty - a fact. And the experiment is closing in.

In language dazzling, energetic, and pure, The Panopticon introduces us to a heart-breaking young heroine and an incredibly assured and outstanding new voice in fiction.

Title: Albert of Adelaide

Subtitle: A Novel

Author: Howard Anderson

Narrator: David Franklin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 20 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-10-12

Publisher: Hachette Audio

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 12 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

At once an old-fashioned-buddy-novel-shoot-'em-up and a work of deliciously imagined fantasy, Howard L. Anderson's dazzling debut presents the haunting story of a world where something has gone horribly awry....

Having escaped from Australia's Adelaide Zoo, an orphaned platypus named Albert embarks on a journey through the outback in search of "Old Australia", a rumored land of liberty, promise, and peace. What he will find there, however, away from the safe confinement of his enclosure for the first time since his earliest memories, proves to be a good deal more than he anticipated.

Alone in the outback, with an empty soft drink bottle as his sole possession, Albert stumbles upon pyromaniacal wombat Jack, and together they spend a night drinking and gambling in Ponsby Station, a rough-and-tumble mining town. Accused of burning down the local mercantile, the duo flees into menacing dingo territory and quickly go their separate ways - Albert to pursue his destiny in the wastelands, Jack to reconcile his past.

Encountering a motley assortment of characters along the way - a pair of invariably drunk bandicoots, a militia of kangaroos, hordes of the mercurial dingoes, and a former prize-fighting Tasmanian devil - our unlikely hero will discover a strength and skill for survival he never suspected he possessed.

Told with equal parts wit and compassion, Albert of Adelaide shows how it is often the unexpected route, and the most improbable companions, that lead us on the path to who we really are. Who you journey with, after all, is far more important than wherever it is you are going.

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 20 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Blockbuster number one New York Times best-selling author Jennifer Weiner returns with an irresistible story about a young woman trying to make it in Hollywood....

At 23, Ruth Saunders headed west with her 70-year-old grandma in tow, hoping to be hired as a television writer. Four years later, she's hit the jackpot when she gets "The Call": the sitcom she wrote, The Next Big Thing, has gotten the green light, and Ruthie's going to be the show-runner. But her dreams of Hollywood happiness are threatened by demanding actors, number-crunching executives, an unrequited crush on a boss, and her grandmother's impending nuptials.

Set against the fascinating backdrop of Los Angeles show business culture, with an insider's ear and eye for writer's rooms, bad behavior backstage, and set politics, Jennifer Weiner's new novel is a rollicking ride on the Hollywood rollercoaster and a heartfelt story about what it's like for a young woman to love, and lose, in the land where dreams come true.

Critic Reviews:

"Utterly engaging." (Time)

"A writer of innate brilliance." (The Philadelphia Inquirer)

"Weiner has a brilliant eye for social stratum, character sketches, and renderings of suburban atmospherics." (The Washington Post)

Resumen del editor:

Un capitán del ejército de Franco que, el mismo día de la Victoria, renuncia a ganar la guerra; un niño poeta que huye asustado con su compañera niña embarazada y vive una historia vertiginosa de madurez y muerte en el breve plazo de unos meses; un preso en la cárcel de Porlier que se niega a vivir en la impostura para que el verdugo pueda ser calificado de verdugo; por último, un diácono rijoso que enmascara su lascivia tras el fascismo apostólico que reclama la sangre purificadora del vencido. Son historias de los tiempos del silencio, cuando daba miedo que alguien supiera que sabías. Cuatro historias, sutilmente engarzadas entre sí, contadas desde el mismo lenguaje pero con los estilos propios de narradores distintos que van perfilando la verdadera protagonista de esta narración: la derrota. Premio Nacional de Literatura 2005, Premio de la Crítica 2005, Premio Setenil 2004.

Résumé de l'éditeur:

Les choses qui restent enfermées dans notre cœur n'existent pas en ce monde. Mais c'est dans notre cœur, ce monde à part, qu'elles se construisent pour y vivre.

Le livre 1 a révélé l'existence du monde 1Q84. Certaines questions ont trouvé leur réponse. D'autres subsistent : qui sont les Little People ? Comment se fraient-ils un chemin vers le monde réel ? Pourquoi deux lunes dans le ciel ? Et la chrysalide de l'air, est-elle ce lieu où sommeille notre double ? Ceux qui s'aiment ne sont jamais seuls. Le destin de Tengo et d'Aomamé est en marche.
