Résumé de l'éditeur:

Libéré de l'horreur des tranchées où il a combattu, Tom Sherbourne, de retour en Australie, devient gardien de phare sur l'île de Janus, une île sur les Lights, sauvage et reculée. À l'abri du tumulte du monde, il coule des jours heureux avec sa femme Isabel ; un bonheur peu à peu contrarié par l'impossibilité d'avoir un enfant. Jusqu'à ce jour d'avril où un dinghy vient s'abîmer sur le rivage, abritant à son bord le cadavre d'un homme et un bébé sain et sauf. Isabel demande à Tom d'ignorer le règlement, de ne pas signaler "l'incident" et de garder avec eux l'enfant. Une décision aux conséquences dévastatrices...

Un premier roman plébiscité dans le monde entier qui interroge les liens du cœur et du sang. Une interprétation à "cœur battant" qui entraîne l'auditeur dans une histoire pleine de méandres, bouleversante, en immersion totale.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 11 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

In 1985, Bret Easton Ellis shocked, stunned, and disturbed with Less Than Zero, his extraordinarily accomplished first novel (New Yorker), successfully chronicling the frightening consequences of unmitigated hedonism within the ranks of the ethically bereft youth of '80s Los Angeles. Twenty-five years later, Ellis returns to those same characters to Clay and the band of infamous teenagers whose lives weave sporadically through his but now, they face an even greater period of disaffection: their own middle age.

Clay seems to have moved on hes become a successful screenwriter but when he returns from New York to Los Angeles, to help cast his new movie, hes soon drifting through a long-familiar circle.

Blair, his vulnerable former girlfriend, is now married to Trent still a bisexual philanderer and their Beverly Hills parties attract excessive levels of fame and fortune. Clays childhood friend Julian is a recovering addict running an ultra-discreet, high-class escort service, and their old dealer Rip, reconstructed and face-lifted nearly beyond recognition, is involved in activities far more sinister than those of his notorious past.

After a meeting with a gorgeous but talentless actress determined to win a role in his movie, Clay finds himself connected with Kelly Montrose, a producer whose gruesomely violent death is suddenly very much the talk of the town. As his seemingly endless proclivity for betrayal leads him to be drawn further and further into this ominous case, it looks like he will face far more serious consequences than ever before.

Idioma: Español

Fecha de publicación: 06-30-11

Calificaciones: 3.5 de 5 de 2 votos

Categorías: Fiction, Contemporary

Resumen del editor:

En los diez magistrales relatos que componen El balneario, se incluye el que da título al libro y que obtuvo el premio Café Gijón de novela corta 1954. No resulta fácil encontrar, en la logia mayor de la literatura española contemporánea, una observadora de la cotidianidad tan aguda, profunda y lúcida como Carmiña Martin Gaite. Nadie como ella para reparar en ese detalle, aparentemente nimio, que revela una dependencia, subraya un ejercicio de poder, señala con el dedo un terror, un ataque de angustia o de soledad. (Luis Alberto de Cuenca).

Publisher's Summary:

Damian Baxter is very rich and dying. He lives alone, attended by chauffeur, butler, cook and a housemaid, a life of everything and nothing. Before he goes he needs to know if he has a living heir. At stake is his fortune - in excess, he reckons, of 500 million. By the time he married he was sterile (the result of adult mumps in his early twenties), but what about before that unfortunate illness? Had he fathered a child as a young man?

An anonymous letter from twenty years before suggests so. But finding the truth will not prove easy, as the only man who knows where to look is Damian's sworn enemy.

Often funny and on occasion even shocking, the twists and turns of Past Imperfect will leave readers as intrigued as Damian at the eventual outcome.

Just as in his bestselling book Snobs, Julian Fellowes shows himself a wonderful storyteller with characters superbly observed. Here is the Jane Austen of the twenty-first century with more than an acerbic dash of Evelyn Waugh.
