Moon Palace

1990 || Paperback || Paul Auster || Faber & Faber

Paul Auster's enthralling adventure story from the author of contemporary classic The New York Trilogy: 'a literary voice for the ages' (Guardian) It was the summer that men first walked on the moon. I was very young back then, but did not believe there would ever be a future. I wanted to live dangerously, to push myself as far as I could go, and then see what happened when I got there.'So begins the mesmerising narrative of Marco Stanley Fogg - orphan, child of the 1960s, a quester by nature.

Moon Palace is his story - a novel that spans three generations, from the early years of this century to the first lunar landings, and moves from the canyons of Manhattan to the cruelly beautiful landscape of the American West. Filled with suspense, unlikely coincidences, wrenching tragedies and marvellous flights of lyricism and erudition, the novel carries the reader effortlessly along with Marco's search - for love, for his unknown father, and for the key to the elusive riddle of his origins and his fate. 'Clever: very...

Les mots

2023 || Paperback || Jean-Paul Sartre || Gallimard

J'ai commencé ma vie comme je la finirai sans doute : au milieu des livres. Dans le bureau de mon grand-pere, il y en avait partout ; défense était de les faire épousseter sauf une fois l'an, avant la rentrée d'octobre. Je ne savais pas encore lire que, déja, je les révérais, ces pierres levées : droites ou penchées, serrées comme des briques sur les rayons de la bibliotheque ou noblement espacées en allées de menhirs, je sentais que la prospérité de notre famille en dépendait...

Madame Bovary

2023 || Paperback || Gustave Flaubert || Gallimard

C'est l'histoire d'une femme mal mariée, de son médiocre époux, de ses amants égoïstes et vains, de ses rêves, de ses chimères, de sa mort. C'est l'histoire d'une province étroite, dévote et bourgeoise. C'est, aussi, l'histoire du roman français. Rien, dans ce tableau, n'avait de quoi choquer la société du Second Empire. Mais, inexorable comme une tragédie, flamboyant comme un drame, mordant comme une comédie, le livre s'était donné une arme redoutable : le style. Pour ce vrai...
