Seize the Day
ISBN : 9780141184852
Fading charmer Tommy Wilhelm has reached his day of reckoning and is scared. In his forties, lie still retains a boyish impetuousness that has brought him to the brink of chaos : he is separated from his wife and children, at odds with his vain, successful father, failed in his acting career (a Hollywood agent once placed him as "the type that loses the girl") and in a financial mess. In the course of one climactic day lie reviews his past mistakes and spiritual malaise, until a mysterious, philosophizing con man grants him a glorious, illuminating moment of truth and understanding, and offers him one last hope... "Saul Bellow is one of the grants of the twentieth-century novel. Read Seize the Day and see why" Irish Times
Que sur toi se lamente le Tigre
ISBN : 9789973581228
Dans l'Irak rural d'aujourd'hui, sur les rives du Tigre, une jeune fille franchit l'interdit absolu : hors mariage, une relation amoureuse, comme un élan de vie. Le garçon meurt sous les bombes, la jeune fille est enceinte : son destin est scellé. Alors que la mécanique implacable s'ébranle, les membres de la famille se déploient en une ronde d'ombres muettes sous le regard tutélaire de Gilgamesh, héros mésopotamien porteur de la mémoire du pays et des hommes. Inspirée par les réalités complexes de l'Irak qu'elle connaît bien, Emilienne Malfatto nous fait pénétrer avec subtilité dans une société fermée, régentée par l'autorité masculine et le code de l'honneur.
