In these eleven stories, Fitzgerald depicts the Roaring Twenties as he lived them. He masterfully blends accounts of flappers and the smart set with more fantastical visions of America, always imbuing his narratives with his trademark themes of money, class, ambition and love.

Depuis un siècle et demi, Jane Eyre fascine les lecteurs et les critiques se demandent pourquoi cette œuvre est si populaire. Comme c'est souvent le cas avec les livres qui demeurent vivants, l'histoire contient quelque chose de plus que de simples rebondissements romantiques et des éléments dramatiques d'un roman gothique. Le temps a effacé la rigidité de l'époque victorienne et a apaisé le scandale suscité par le comportement et les opinions de l'héroïne indomptable, dont l'auteure a défendu la cause en affirmant : « Ne confondons pas convention et morale ! » Le secret d'une grande littérature ne peut être défini, mais les générations de lecteurs passionnés nous révèlent quelque chose. Nous réalisons que nous lisons une histoire fictive, tout en ressentant que la voix de la narratrice est étrangement réelle, que les émotions sont authentiques et que les événements sont explosifs. Ainsi, le combat de l'héroïne intrépide contre sa tutrice inhumaine, les conditions cruelles de l'internat et l'ordre social rigide a un impact puissant, révélant l'expérience personnelle de l'auteure, celle d'une jeune fille persécutée après la perte de ses parents. Et ne reprochons pas à l'auteure que dans son grand récit épique, l'amour triomphe des cruelles adversités, des caprices du destin et du poids d'un terrible secret.

Sur la route
- 436pages
- 16 heures de lecture
Le roman "Sur la route" a provoqué un bouleversement culturel aux États-Unis à la fin des années cinquante, faisant de Jack Kerouac une icône de la littérature spontanée et détabouisée. Considéré comme la bible légendaire de la génération beat, ce livre est une déclaration générationnelle et une réponse au paradoxe social de son époque : bien que l'Amérique fût à son apogée économique, ses maux devenaient de plus en plus visibles. Jack Kerouac (1922 – 1969) est l'un des représentants les plus significatifs de la beat generation, auteur de trois recueils de poésie et de plus de quinze romans souvent autobiographiques. À dix-sept ans, il s'installe à New York, une ville qui lui révèle une passion pour le jazz et le désir d'écrire, tout en l'entraînant dans l'expérimentation avec les drogues. Son amitié avec Allan Ginsberg et William Burroughs a donné naissance à un nouveau mouvement littéraire. L'œuvre de Kerouac est marquée par des influences de la foi catholique, de la méditation bouddhiste et des improvisations jazz. Malgré son aspiration à la liberté et à la spontanéité, il a souffert de dépressions et de solitude, et est décédé à quarante-sept ans à cause de problèmes de santé liés à l'alcool.

In The Lady in the Lake, hardboiled crime fiction master Raymond Chandler brings us the story of a couple of missing wives—one a rich man's and one a poor man's—who have become the objects of Philip Marlowe's investigation. One of them may have gotten a Mexican divorce and married a gigolo and the other may be dead. Marlowe's not sure he cares about either one, but he's not paid to care.
Un mari idéal
- 158pages
- 6 heures de lecture
Sir Robert Chiltern a vendu un secret d'Etat. L'argent ainsi gagné lui a permis de se lancer dans le monde avec succès et de devenir un homme politique de tout premier plan. Mais personne ne sait d'où il tient sa fortune, à l'exception d'une aventurière qui le fait chanter. En dépeignant ironiquement le mari idéal sous les traits d'un homme politique riche et ambitieux, Wilde souligne la relation entre une institution à ses yeux contestable - le mariage - et les intérêts d'argent et de pouvoir. Mais plus profondément, cette comédie de société joue sur l'écart entre l'irréprochable apparence d'un homme et la réalité que dissimule son masque. Wilde dénonce ainsi les hypocrisies, mais le souci de séduire son public par le mot d'esprit et le paradoxe prime tout, et c'est la grâce de ce langage brillant qui assura le succès de la pièce en 1895.

Set in South Africa under white rule, Doris Lessing's first novel is both a riveting chronicle of human disintegration and a beautifully understated social critique. Mary Turner is a self-confident, independent young woman who becomes the depressed, frustrated wife of an ineffectual, unsuccessful farmer.

Locked in anguish, Mary and Moses - master and slave - are trapped in a web of mounting attraction and repulsion. Their psychic tension explodes in an electrifying scene that ends this disturbing tale of racial strife in colonial South Africa. The Grass Is Singing blends Lessing's imaginative vision with her own vividly remembered early childhood to recreate the quiet horror of a woman's struggle against a ruthless fate.
