Book summary:
A priori, le petit Nicolas est un enfant comme les autres. Pourtant, le récit de ses aventures n'en finit pas de surprendre par le nombre de bêtises que lui et sa petite bande de copains déclenchent en permanence ! Et il faut être drôlement patient et avoir beaucoup de mérite, comme sa maîtresse ou ses parents, pour vivre avec un pareil petit diable !
Aucun adulte ne semble pouvoir résister à Nicolas et ses copains, Agnan le chouchou, ou Eudes le costaud, ni le photographe de l'école, ni l'inspecteur en personne, ni même le directeur ou le pauvre surveillant, M. Bouillon. Bref, le petit Nicolas et toute sa bande sèment un joyeux désordre et une belle zizanie partout où ils passent.
L'écriture, proche du langage oral, rehausse le comique des situations et l'on ne peut s'empêcher de rire lorsqu'on écoute le petit Nicolas raconter ses multiples aventures, avec la naïveté et la candeur d'un enfant qui semble ne pas très bien saisir l'importance de tous ses actes et les réactions qu'ils entraînent auprès des adultes. De bonnes rigolades en perspective, même si la spécificité de cet humour nécessite quelquefois l'explication des grands ! --Xavier Marciniak [via]

Book summary:
Imaginez-vous perdu dans le désert, loin de tout lieu habité, et face à un petit garçon tout blond, surgi de nulle part. Si de surcroît ce petit garçon vous demande avec insistance de dessiner un mouton, vous voilà plus qu'étonné ! À partir de là, vous n'aurez plus qu'une seule interrogation : savoir d'où vient cet étrange petit bonhomme et connaître son histoire.
S'ouvre alors un monde étrange et poétique, peuplé de métaphores, décrit à travers les paroles d'un "petit prince" qui porte aussi sur notre monde à nous un regard tout neuf, empli de naïveté, de fraîcheur et de gravité. Très vite, vous découvrez d'étranges planètes, peuplées d'hommes d'affaires, de buveurs, de vaniteux, d'allumeurs de réverbères.
Cette évocation onirique, à laquelle participent les aquarelles de l'auteur, a tout d'un parcours initiatique, où l'enfant apprendra les richesses essentielles des rapports humains et le secret qui les régit : "On ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."
Oeuvre essentielle de la littérature, ce livre de Saint-Exupéry est un ouvrage que l'on aura à coeur de raconter à son enfant, page après page, histoire aussi de redécouvrir l'enfant que l'on était autrefois, avant de devenir une grande personne ! --Xavier Marciniak [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Little Prince'
Book summary:
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry first published The Little Prince in 1943, only a year before his Lockheed P-38 vanished over the Mediterranean during a reconnaissance mission. More than a half century later, this fable of love and loneliness has lost none of its power. The narrator is a downed pilot in the Sahara Desert, frantically trying to repair his wrecked plane. His efforts are interrupted one day by the apparition of a little, well, prince, who asks him to draw a sheep. "In the face of an overpowering mystery, you don't dare disobey," the narrator recalls. "Absurd as it seemed, a thousand miles from all inhabited regions and in danger of death, I took a scrap of paper and a pen out of my pocket." And so begins their dialogue, which stretches the narrator's imagination in all sorts of surprising, childlike directions.
The Little Prince describes his journey from planet to planet, each tiny world populated by a single adult. It's a wonderfully inventive sequence, which evokes not only the great fairy tales but also such monuments of postmodern whimsy as Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities. And despite his tone of gentle bemusement, Saint-Exupéry pulls off some fine satiric touches, too. There's the king, for example, who commands the Little Prince to function as a one-man (or one-boy) judiciary:
I have good reason to believe that there is an old rat living somewhere on my planet. I hear him at night. You could judge that old rat. From time to time you will condemn him to death. That way his life will depend on your justice. But you'll pardon him each time for economy's sake. There's only one rat.
The author pokes similar fun at a businessman, a geographer, and a lamplighter, all of whom signify some futile aspect of adult existence. Yet his tale is ultimately a tender one--a heartfelt exposition of sadness and solitude, which never turns into Peter Pan-style treacle. Such delicacy of tone can present real headaches for a translator, and in her 1943 translation, Katherine Woods sometimes wandered off the mark, giving the text a slightly wooden or didactic accent. Happily, Richard Howard (who did a fine nip-and-tuck job on Stendhal's The Charterhouse of Parma in 1999) has streamlined and simplified to wonderful effect. The result is a new and improved version of an indestructible classic, which also restores the original artwork to full color. "Trying to be witty," we're told at one point, "leads to lying, more or less." But Saint-Exupéry's drawings offer a handy rebuttal: they're fresh, funny, and like the book itself, rigorously truthful. --James Marcus [via]

Book summary:
You could be excused for thinking that this book is one containing a simple story for young children about a Little Prince. How wrong you would be! This is far from the truth: it is much more. It is a complex story containing lots of ambiguities about a child with golden hair. These are all eruditely discussed before the actual story begins, in a section entitled "How It All Began". "Is The Little Prince a story written for children or is it a meditation intended for adults?"
The Art of Living is discussed, along with a system of values, and the train of thought behind them is the unifying element. You are invited to "look at the book, and allow yourself to travel from one image to the next... " It was written and published more than 50 years ago in the USA, and the author was a Frenchman who illustrated the book himself; it was later translated by Kathryn Woods. The Little Prince is still very popular and has now been translated into many languages. Shortly after it was first written, the author died--disappearing together with his plane somewhere over the Mediterranean. This Gift edition contains all the original illustrations, plus some more original drawings that came to light later and have been published here for the first time.--Susan Naylor

Book summary:
Let's face it--even some adults find Tolkien's mammoth fantasy a daunting mouthful but children now have this special seven-book box set of The Lord of The Rings to make the epic tale just that bit easier to chew on. Split into its seven constituent parts, these slim volumes tell the ageless tale of young Frodo's quest to destroy The Ring and defeat the forces of evil. It's beautifully presented in a black presentation box with the movie logo and an illustration on the side and the spines of the books also form the movie logo. A contemporary look and plenty of "cool appeal" will grab kids' interest and ensure they don't miss out on reading this classic of the genre. --Jonathan Weir [via]

Book summary:
Three-volume boxed set edition lavishly illustrated in full color by Alan Lee

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, The Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth still it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell, by chance, into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins.

From his fastness in the Dark Tower of Mordor, Sauron's power spread far and wide. He gathered all the Great Rings to him, but ever he searched far and wide for the One Ring that would complete his dominion.

On his eleventy-first birthday, Bilbo dissapeared bequeathing to his young cousin, Frodo, the Ruling Ring, and a perilous quest: to journey across Middle-earth, deep into the shadow of the Dark Lord and destroy the Ring by casting it into the Cracks of Doom.

The Lord of the Rings tells of the great quest undertaken by Frodo and the Fellowship of the Ring: Gandalf the wizard, the hobbits Merry, Pippin and Sam, Gimli the Dwarf, Legolas the Elf, Boromir of Gondor, and a tall, mysterious stranger called Strider.

Book summary:
Book Description Nicholas is the first of five books that bring to life the day to day adventures of a young school boy - amusing, endearing and always in trouble. An only child, Nicholas, appears older at school than he does as home and his touchingly naive reaction to situations, cut through the preconceptions of adults and result in a formidable sequence of escapades. This first book in the series contains a collection of nineteen individual stories where, in spite of trying to be good, Nicholas and his friends always seem to end up in some kind of mischief. Whether in the school room, at home, or in the playground, their exuberance often takes over and the results are calamitous at least for their teachers and parents. Whether confusing the photographer hired to take the class picture, dealing with having to wear glasses for the first time, or trying desperately to help the teacher when the school inspector pays a visit, Nicholas always manages to make matters worse. Nicholas was awarded the 2006 Batchelder Honor Award, which recognizes outstanding children's books published in a foreign language and translated into English. Nicholas was also recognized by The Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) as a 2006 Notable Children's Book. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Ship of Magic'
Book summary:
Robin Hobb, author of the Farseer trilogy, has returned to that world for a new series. Ship of Magic is a sea tale, reminiscent of Moby Dick and Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin series in its details of shipboard life. It is also a fantasy adventure with sea serpents, pirates, and all sorts of magic. The liveships have distinct personalities and partner with specific people, somewhat like Anne McCaffrey's Brain ships and their Brawns, though these are trading ships and have full crews.
Hobb has peopled the book with many wonderfully developed characters. Most of the primary ones are members of the Vestritts, an Old Trader family which owns the liveship Vivacia. Their stories are intercut with those of Kennit, the ambitious pirate Brashen, the disinherited scion of another family who served on the Vestritt's ship, and Paragon, an old liveship abandoned and believed mad. The sentient sea serpents have their own story hinted at, as well.
Though Ship of Magic is full of action, none of the plotlines get resolved in this book. Readers who resent being left with many questions and few answers after almost 700 pages should think twice before starting, or wait until the rest of the series is out so that their suspense won't be too prolonged. But Hobb's writing draws you in and makes you care desperately about what will happen next, the mark of a terrific storyteller. --Nona Vero [via]

Book summary:
A priori, le petit Nicolas est un enfant comme les autres. Pourtant, le récit de ses aventures n'en finit pas de surprendre par le nombre de bêtises que lui et sa petite bande de copains déclenchent en permanence ! Et il faut être drôlement patient et avoir beaucoup de mérite, comme sa maîtresse ou ses parents, pour vivre avec un pareil petit diable !
Aucun adulte ne semble pouvoir résister à Nicolas et ses copains, Agnan le chouchou, ou Eudes le costaud, ni le photographe de l'école, ni l'inspecteur en personne, ni même le directeur ou le pauvre surveillant, M. Bouillon. Bref, le petit Nicolas et toute sa bande sèment un joyeux désordre et une belle zizanie partout où ils passent.
L'écriture, proche du langage oral, rehausse le comique des situations et l'on ne peut s'empêcher de rire lorsqu'on écoute le petit Nicolas raconter ses multiples aventures, avec la naïveté et la candeur d'un enfant qui semble ne pas très bien saisir l'importance de tous ses actes et les réactions qu'ils entraînent auprès des adultes. De bonnes rigolades en perspective, même si la spécificité de cet humour nécessite quelquefois l'explication des grands ! --Xavier Marciniak [via]

Book summary:
Imaginez-vous perdu dans le désert, loin de tout lieu habité, et face à un petit garçon tout blond, surgi de nulle part. Si de surcroît ce petit garçon vous demande avec insistance de dessiner un mouton, vous voilà plus qu'étonné ! À partir de là, vous n'aurez plus qu'une seule interrogation : savoir d'où vient cet étrange petit bonhomme et connaître son histoire.
S'ouvre alors un monde étrange et poétique, peuplé de métaphores, décrit à travers les paroles d'un "petit prince" qui porte aussi sur notre monde à nous un regard tout neuf, empli de naïveté, de fraîcheur et de gravité. Très vite, vous découvrez d'étranges planètes, peuplées d'hommes d'affaires, de buveurs, de vaniteux, d'allumeurs de réverbères.
Cette évocation onirique, à laquelle participent les aquarelles de l'auteur, a tout d'un parcours initiatique, où l'enfant apprendra les richesses essentielles des rapports humains et le secret qui les régit : "On ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."
Oeuvre essentielle de la littérature, ce livre de Saint-Exupéry est un ouvrage que l'on aura à coeur de raconter à son enfant, page après page, histoire aussi de redécouvrir l'enfant que l'on était autrefois, avant de devenir une grande personne ! --Xavier Marciniak [via]

Book summary:
174pages. in8. Broché. "Tout ce qu'on peut dire de l'Inde est vrai, on y voit les choses plus clairement parce que c'est le chaos", affirme Arundhati Roy à propos de ce premier livre qui lui a valu le Booker Prize en 1997. La jeune romancière indienne s'est inspirée du village d'Ayemenem, dans l'État de Kerala en Inde du sud, où elle a grandi. Un monde de bruit et de fureur vu à travers le regard de Rahel et de son frère Estha, deux jumeaux silencieux, perdus dans le monde des adultes et contraints par eux à la pire des trahisons. Dans l'odeur douceâtre de l'usine de confitures de la grand-mère, la lutte des classes rejoint la lutte des castes et autour de la redoutable grand-tante Baby Kochamma s'agitent des personnages tragiques ou pittoresques comme l'oncle Charko ou Ammu, la mère des jumeaux, abandonnée par son mari et amoureuse en secret d'un Intouchable. La seule loi qui régisse ce chaos est celle qui précise "qui devait être aimé et jusqu'à quel point", une loi qu'il coûte toujours cher d'enfreindre, en Inde ou ailleurs. -Gérard Meudal [via]

Book summary:
Der Bund ist zerbrochen, Gandalf verloren. Frodo und Sam sind fort, nur Merry und Pippin bleiben mit Boromir zurück. Da werden sie von einem Orkheer überfallen. Boromir verteidigt die Freunde bis zu seinem eigenen Tod, doch die Hobbits werden gefangengenommen. Aragorn, Legolas und Gimli nehmen ihre Spur auf. Merry und Pippin gelingt die Flucht, und sie kommen in einen geheimnisvollen Wald, wo sie Baumbart treffen, einen uralten, baumähnlichen Riesen vom Geschlecht der Ents. Er erkennt die Gefahr, die Mittelerde droht, und sammelt sein Volk, um Saruman anzugreifen. Aragorn, Legolas und Gimli treffen überraschend auf Gandalf, der nicht tot ist, aber verändert. Sie begeben sich an den Hof von Rohan, einem pferdeliebenden Volk, entlarven Schlangenzunge, Sarumans Spion, der König Thoden in seiner Gewalt hatte. Vor Helms Klamm schlagen sie eine unvergessliche Schlacht Gimli und Legolas wetteifern, wer die meisten Orks tötet Gimli gewinnt. Sie erreichen Sarumans Festung Isengard, entdecken, daß sie bereits von den Ents zerstört worden ist, und finden Merry und Pippin, beide unversehrt. Sie befreien Saruman, nachdem sie seinen Zauberstab zerbrochen haben. Zur gleichen Zeit nähern sich Frodo und Sam Mordor. Gollum, angezogen von dem Ring, folgt ihnen. Sie fangen ihn ein und machen ihn zu ihrem Führer. Gollum bringt sie zu den geheimen Stufen, dem Zugang zum Land Mordor. Dieser finstere Ort wird von Kankra bewacht, einer Riesenspinne, die Frodo mit ihrem Stachel vergiftet. Sam beschließt schweren Herzens, den Ring zu nehmen und die Quest alleine zu beenden. Doch da belauscht er ein Gespräch der Orks und erfährt, daß Frodo nicht tot ist, sondern nur bewußtlos. [via]
