Story
Publié en 1839, "La Chartreuse de Parme" a été écrit en 53 jours par Stendhal. L'œuvre a pour décor l'Italie si chère à Stendhal. La Sanseverina possède toutes les dimensions de la femme amoureuse et objet d'amour passionné, tandis que le héros, Fabrice del Dongo, est un enfant béni des dieux. Mais leur fougue et leur sentimentalisme vont les mener à un destin tragique.

Story
Chef-d'œuvre de la littérature russe, livre culte à travers le monde, "Le Maître et Marguerite" dénonce dans un rire féroce les pouvoirs autoritaires, les veules qui s'en accommodent, les artistes complaisants, l'absence imbécile de doute. Moscou, années 1930, le stalinisme est tout puissant, l'austérité ronge la vie et les âmes, les artistes sont devenus serviles et l'athéisme est proclamé par l'État. C'est dans ce contexte que le diable décide d'apparaître et de semer la pagaille bouleversant les notions de bien, de mal, de vrai, de faux.

Un enregistrement exceptionnel : les cinq volumes des "Misérables", un des plus grands romans de la littérature française, enfin disponibles en livre audio. Jean Valjean, Cosette, les Thénardier, Gavroche, ou encore Javert sont autant de noms qui résonnent au-delà de l'histoire qui les a fait naître. Ces misérables sont décrits à la fois comme des archétypes du genre humain, mais aussi comme les produits d'une société génératrice de pauvreté, d'ignorance et de désespoir.

De nature passionné et nourri d'idéaux, il confie ses espoirs, ses pensées, ses doutes, ses quêtes et dresse le portrait d'une communauté villageoise, de petites gens, de nobles et de plus fortunés qu'il voudrait "élever" malgré une santé fragile.

Son mari, Charles Bovary, ne ressemble en rien aux amants mystérieux et délicats de ses lectures : c'est un officier de santé qui exerce dans un village normand où Emma, confrontée à la réalité de la vie quotidienne, va peu à peu perdre pied.

Editorial reviews
Parmi les classiques de la littérature française, La Princesse de Clèves figure en bonne place. Paru en 1678, ce livre écrit par Madame de la Fayette est souvent considéré comme le premier roman français. Si sa langue peut sembler austère et l'histoire banale, ce roman n'en est pas moins un chef-d'œuvre à découvrir.
Le roman d'un amour impossible
La Princesse de Clèves est le roman d'un amour impossible entre le duc de Nemours et Mme de Clèves. Au premier regard, ils tombent amoureux l'un de l'autre, passionnément, viscéralement. Mais la princesse est mariée et Nemours a des principes : le roman tout entier est bâti sur la question de savoir si les amoureux vont succomber ou non à leurs sentiments. L'auteure tient en haleine le lecteur, en explorant les tréfonds de l'âme humaine en proie à la passion du cœur. Les deux protagonistes se croisent et se recroisent, s'épient, se languissent, au bord de l'adultère.
Une galerie de personnages finement analysés
Madame de La Fayette dans La Princesse de Clèves met en scène avec habileté toute une galerie de personnages dont l'analyse psychologique est d'une déroutante modernité. L'histoire se passe à la cour de France du roi Henri II et permet au lecteur de découvrir les coulisses d'une société façonnée par le paraître.
Bien loin d'être un roman à l'eau de rose, ce livre questionne profondément les valeurs comme l'honneur, le sacrifice et bien sûr l'amour, thème central dans la plus pure tradition de la littérature précieuse. Madame de la Fayette explore avec une grande délicatesse les méandres de la passion, qui rongent les trois personnages principaux : la princesse de Clèves et le duc de Nemours, mais aussi le prince de Clèves, amoureux de sa femme qui en aime un autre...
La Princesse de Clèves, un succès jamais démenti
Livre fondateur, La Princesse de Clèves est devenu un modèle littéraire du roman psychologique, qui inspirera plus tard Balzac ou Cocteau. Dès sa parution, les copies s'arrachent et les mondaines de l'époque ne se privent pas de commenter l'histoire. On spécule aussi beaucoup sur le nom de l'auteur, car le livre est d'abord publié de façon anonyme. Depuis sa parution, La Princesse de Clèves a été réédité plus de 200 fois et figure quasi systématiquement au programme des études littéraires.
Adapté au théâtre, au cinéma et à la télévision et même en bande dessinée, ce roman profond et intemporel est aussi disponible en livre audio sur Audible.fr. Une autre façon de découvrir ce classique de la littérature française !
Publisher's summary
Si La Princesse de Clèves, lors de sa parution en 1678, est le livre le plus immédiatement commenté de son époque, c'est que, sans rompre totalement avec le roman antérieur, il y introduit le souci de vraisemblance et de brièveté qui caractérise alors la nouvelle, et concilie de manière neuve narration et psychologie. La Princesse de Clèves est l'œuvre la plus célèbre de Marie-Madeleine de La Fayette. Son succès fut immense dès sa publication en 1678, ce roman est considéré comme un prototype du roman d'analyse psychologique.

It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.
