Book summary:
Bruno and Michel are half-brothers, born to a hippie mother who believed in following her bliss. As boys they live in ignorance of each other--at one point attending the same school without knowing of their blood connection. As grown men they're not truly close, but they occasionally phone each other late at night. Bruno's a hopeless sexual obsessive, often drunk or on his way there, and Michel's a molecular biologist, distant and inaccessible.
Michel Houellebecq's The Elementary Particles follows these brothers through the latter half of the 20th century. Bruno and Michel are buffeted by history, vessels of disappointment and desire rocked by the ocean of time. Shuttled away to a boarding school where he's sexually abused by other boys, Bruno grows up full of twisted sexual longings and a contempt for aging women so palpable that at times it's stomach-churning. At a commune in the country, Bruno takes stock:
The women were intolerable at breakfast, but by cocktail hour the mystical tarts were hopelessly vying with younger women once again. Death is the great leveler. On Wednesday afternoon he met Catherine, a fifty-year-old who had been a feminist of the old school. She was tanned, with dark curly hair; she must have been very attractive when she was twenty. Her breasts were still in good shape, he thought when he saw her by the pool, but she had a fat ass.
Michel doesn't hate women; he doesn't even notice them. Instead of leering at bodies by the pool, he stares at particles in microscopes. He wins prizes for his experiments, but never experiences the rush of life. For both men, the damage has been done by history, by mother, before the story begins. What interests Houellebecq are the permutations and recapitulations of damage--the way the particles of the self can never be completely reconstituted. --Emily White [via]

447pages. 11,0cm x 17,0cm x 1,8cm. broché. Un ancien maître tonnelier qui n'existe que par l'or qu'il accumule, une jeune fille recluse qui naît à la vie en découvrant l'amour, un jeune Parisien raffiné résolu à parvenir: Eugénie Grandet interroge fiévreusement le sens du réel, à une époque désertée par une monarchie légitime et un catholicisme jadis pourvoyeurs d'ordre. Dans ce roman, le premier des Scènes de la vie de province, Balzac renouvelle un thème littéraire déjà ancien. En passant du théâtre au roman, la province cesse d'être un pur objet de satire: elle exprime une profonde inquiétude historique, liée à d'importants bouleversements politiques, économiques et sociaux.

Book summary:
The Iliad (Ancient Greek ?????, Ilias) is, together with the Odyssey, one of two ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer, a supposedly blind Ionian poet. The epics are considered by most modern scholars to be the oldest literature in the Greek language. The Iliad concerns events during the tenth and final year in the siege of the city of Ilion, or Troy, by the Greeks. The Odyssey (Greek: ????????, Odusseia)is commonly dated circa 800 to 600 BC. The poem is, in part, a sequel to Homer's Iliad and mainly concerns the events that befall the Greek hero Odysseus (or Ulysses) in his long journeys after the fall of Troy and when he at last returns to his native land of Ithaca.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Immoralist'
Book summary:
With today's headlines and talk shows, it takes a lot to shock a reader--certainly more than was required in 1902, when André Gide's The Immoralist was first published. What was seen then as a story of dereliction translates today into a tale of introspection and fierce self-discovery. While traveling to Tunis with his new bride, the Parisian scholar Michel is overcome by tuberculosis. As he slowly convalesces, he revels in the physical pleasures of living and resolves to forgo his studies of the past in order to experience the present--to let "the layers of acquired knowledge peel away from the mind like a cosmetic and reveal, in patches, the naked flesh beneath, the authentic being hidden there."
But this is not the Michel his colleagues knew, nor the man Marceline married, and he must hide his new values under the patina of what he now reviles. Bored by Parisian society, he moves to a family farm in Normandy. He is happy there, especially in the company of young Charles, but he must soon return to the city and academe. Michel remains restless until he gives his first lecture and runs into Ménalque, who has long outraged society, and recognizes in him a reflection of his torment. Finally, Michel heads south, deeper into the desert, until, as he confides to his friends, he is lost in the sea of sand, under a clear, directionless sky.
What Gide's story lacks in sensationalism is fulfilled by his descriptive prose, which evokes the exotic nature of Michel's inner and outer journey: "I did not understand the forbearance of this African earth, submerged for days at a time and now awakening from winter, drunk with water, bursting with new juices; it laughed in this springtime frenzy whose echo, whose image I perceived within myself." --Joannie Kervran Stangeland [via]

Book summary:
Roman autobiographique mis en image par Jean-Jacques Annaud, L'amant est l'un des récits d'initiation amoureuse parmi les plus troublants qui soit. Dans une langue pure comme son sourire de jeune fille, Marguerite Duras confie sa rencontre et sa relation avec un rentier chinois de Saigon. Dans l'Indochine coloniale de l'entre deux-guerres, la relation amoureuse entre cette jeune bachelière et cet homme déjà mûr est sublimée par un environnement extraordinaire. Dès leur rencontre sur le bac qui traverse le Mékong, on ressent l'attirance physique et la relation passionnée qui s'ensuivra, à la fois rapide comme le mouvement permanent propre au sud de l'Asie et lente comme les eaux d'un fleuve de désir. Histoire d'amour aussi improbable que magnifique, L'amant est une peinture des sentiments amoureux, ces pages sont remplies d'un amour pur et entier. Ce roman vaudra un succès conséquent à Marguerite Duras. --Florent Mazzoleni [via]

Nobody writes about money like Balzac, and his classic chronicle of a young man from the provinces clawing his way to success in 19th century Paris, even as an older man is victimized by the same milieu, shrewdly captures the financial dimension of so much that goes on between people. The boarding house in which the two protagonists live is a microcosm of their world, and Goriot's treatment by his daughters would make Lear blanch. [via]

Rabelais's vigorous examination of the life of his times-from bizarre battles to great drinking bouts, from satire on religion and education to matter-of-fact descriptions of bodily functions and desires-is one of the great comic masterpieces of literature. [via]

Book summary:
Swann's Way begins with one of the most famous incidents in all of literature -- the taste of a madeleine and tea that reawakens the elusive childhood memories of the narrator, Marcel. An image of Charles Swann, a wealthy and fashionable neighbor, precipitates Marcel's recollection of Swann's marriage to Odette de Crecy, a beautiful, manipulative woman far beneath him in social standing, and of the jealousy, aroused by Odette's many affairs with both men and women, that eventually destroys Swarm. Marcel recounts, too, his own initiation into the aesthetic pleasures and sexual intrigues of belle-epoque Paris. The themes introduced in Swann's Way -- the destructive force of obsessive love, the allure and the consequences of transgressive sex, and the selective eye that shapes memories -- form the threads that unite all the volumes of Remembrance of Things Past.

According to Wikipedia: "Valentin Louis Georges Eugène Marcel Proust (10 July 1871 18 November 1922) was a French novelist, essayist, and critic, best known as the author of À la recherche du temps perdu (in English, In Search of Lost Time; earlier translated as Remembrance of Things Past), a monumental work of twentieth-century fiction published in seven parts from 1913 to 1927... Begun in 1909, À la recherche du temps perdu consists of seven volumes spanning some 3,200 pages and teeming with more than 2,000 literary characters. Graham Greene called Proust the "greatest novelist of the 20th century", and W. Somerset Maugham called the novel the "greatest fiction to date." Proust died before he was able to complete his revision of the drafts and proofs of the final volumes, the last three of which were published posthumously and edited by his brother, Robert." [via]

Book summary:
Roman picaresque, roman d'initiation, Voyage au bout de la nuit, signé Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Louis Destouches de son vrai nom, a été récompensé par le prix Renaudot en 1932. À la suite d'un défilé militaire, Ferdinand Bardamu s'engage dans un régiment. Plongé dans la Grande Guerre, il fait l'expérience de l'horreur et rencontre Robinson, qu'il retrouvera tout au long de ses aventures. Blessé, rapatrié, il vit le conflit depuis l'arrière, partagé entre les conquêtes féminines et les crises de folie. Réformé, il s'embarque pour l'Afrique, travaille dans une compagnie coloniale. Malade, il gagne les États-Unis, rencontre Molly, prostituée au grand cSur à Detroit tandis qu'il est ouvrier à la chaîne. De retour en France, médecin, installé dans un dispensaire de banlieue, il est confronté au tout-venant sordide de la misère, en même temps qu'il rencontre ici et là des êtres sublimes de générosité, de délicatesse infinie, "une gaieté pour l'univers"...
Epopée antimilitariste, anticolonialiste et anticapitaliste, somme de toutes les expériences de l'auteur, Voyage au bout de la nuit est peuplé de pauvres hères brinquebalés dans un monde où l'horreur le dispute à l'absurde. Mais, au bout de cette nuit, le voyage ne manque ni de drôlerie, ni de personnages fringants, de beautés féminines "en route pour l'infini". Texte essentiel de la littérature du XXe siècle, il est émaillé d'aphorismes cinglants, dynamité par des expressions familières, argotiques, et un éclatement de la syntaxe qui a fait la réputation de Céline. --Céline Darner [via]

Book summary:
Esa jovencita bellisima, pero pobre, que vive en Indochina, no es otra que la propia escritora quien, hoy, recuerda las relaciones apasionadas, de intensos amor y odio, que desgarraron a su familia y, de pronto, grabaron prematuramente en su rostro los implacables surcos de la madurez. Pocas personas -y en particular mujeres- permaneceran inmunes a la contagiosa pasion que emana de este libro. / This erotic novel won the Prix Goncourt award. Set in 1930s Saigon, this is the portrayal of an incandescent relationship between a young French girl and the elegant son of a wealthy Chinese family, and of the hate that slowly tears the girl's family apart.
