Mémoires d'Hadrien

Story
Cette œuvre est à la fois roman, histoire et poésie. En imaginant les Mémoires d'un grand empereur romain, l'auteur a voulu "refaire du dedans ce que les archéologues du XIXe siècle ont fait du dehors". Jugeant sans complaisance sa vie d'homme et son œuvre politique, Hadrien n'ignore pas que Rome finira un jour par périr, mais son réalisme romain et son humanisme hérité des Grecs lui font sentir l'importance de penser et de servir jusqu'au bout.

"Solennels parmi les couples sans amour, ils dansaient, d'eux seuls préoccupés, goûtaient l'un à l'autre, soigneux, profonds, perdus. Béate d'être tenue et guidée, elle ignorait le monde, écoutait le bonheur dans ses veines, parfois s'admirant dans les hautes glaces des murs, élégante, émouvante, exceptionnelle, femme aimée, parfois reculant la tête pour mieux le voir qui lui murmurait des merveilles point toujours comprises, car elle le regardait trop, mais toujours de toute son âme approuvées, qui lui murmurait qu'ils étaient amoureux."

Ses lecteurs vont pouvoir ensuite descendre ce grand fleuve aux lenteurs asiatiques et suivre la romancière dans tous les méandres du delta, dans la moiteur des rizières, dans les secrets ombreux où elle a développé l'incantation répétitive et obsédante de ses livres, de ses films, de son théâtre."

Publisher's summary
À l'été 1953, un jeune homme de 24 ans, fils de bonne famille calviniste, quitte Genève et son université, où il suit des cours de sanscrit, d'histoire médiévale puis de droit, à bord de sa Fiat Topolino. Nicolas Bouvier a déjà effectué de courts voyages ou des séjours plus longs en Bourgogne, en Finlande, en Algérie, en Espagne, puis en Yougoslavie, via l'Italie et la Grèce. Cette fois, il vise plus loin : la Turquie, l'Iran, Kaboul puis la frontière avec l'Inde. Il est accompagné de son ami Thierry Vernet, qui documentera l'expédition en dessins et croquis.
Ces six mois de voyage à travers les Balkans, l'Anatolie, l'Iran puis l'Afghanistan donneront naissance à l'un des grands chefs-d'œuvre de la littérature dite "de voyage", L'Usage du monde, qui ne sera publié que dix ans plus tard - et à compte d'auteur la première fois - avant de devenir un classique.
Par son écriture serrée, économe de ses effets et ne jouant pas à la "littérature", Nicolas Bouvier a réussi à atteindre ce à quoi peu sont parvenus : un pur récit de voyage, dans la grande tradition de la découverte et de l'émerveillement, en même temps qu'une réflexion éthique et morale sur une manière d'être au monde parmi ses contemporains, sous toutes les latitudes.

For 30 years, drummer, author, and songwriter Neil Peart had wanted to write a book about "the biggest journey of all in my restless existence: the life of a touring musician." Finally, the right time, and the right tour. In the summer of 2004, after three decades, 20 gold albums, and thousands of performances, the band Rush embarked on a 30th Anniversary World Tour. The "R30" tour traveled to nine countries, where the band performed 57 shows for more than half a million fans. Uniquely, Peart chose to do his between-show traveling by motorcycle, riding 21,000 miles of back roads.

New Hampshire features Frost's meditations on rural life, love, and death, delivered in the voice of a soft-spoken New Englander. Critics have long marveled at the poet's gift for capturing the speech of the region's natives and his realistic evocations of the area's landscapes. This compilation, first published in 1923, earned Frost the first of his four Pulitzer Prizes and includes several of his best-known poems: "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening", "Nothing Gold Can Stay", and "Fire and Ice".

The “mountain men” were the hunters and trappers who fiercely strode the Rocky Mountains in the early to mid-1800s. They braved the elements in search of the skins of beavers and other wild animals, to sell or barter for goods. The lifestyle of the mountain men could be harsh, existing as they did among animals, and spending most of their days and nights living and camping out in the great unexplored wilds of the Rockies.
