Florence Bell Livres

Cottonwoods, Utah. 1871. A woman stands accused. A man, sentenced to whipping. Into this travesty of small-town justice rides the one man the town elders fear. His name is Lassiter, a notorious gunman who's come to avenge his sister's death. It doesn't take Lassiter long to see that this once-peaceful Mormon community is controlled by the corrupt Deacon Tull--a powerful elder who's trying to take the woman's land by forcing her to marry him, branding her foreman as a dangerous "outsider." Lassiter vows to help them. But when the ranch is attacked by horse thieves, cattle rustlers, and a mysterious Masked Rider, he realizes they're up against something bigger, and more brutal, than the land itself.

Une collection de lectures dans un français adapté à l'apprentissage de la langue. Dans la Hollande du XVIIe siècle, alors que Guillaume d'Orange s'empare du pouvoir, un honnête horticulteur de province est accusé de trahison. Malgré son emprisonnement, le jeune homme tente de poursuivre son rêve : donner naissance à la tulipe noire. Aidé par Rosa, la propre fille du geôlier, il combattra les jalousies et méchancetés du monde extérieur pour mener à bien son entreprise. Ce roman original, presque poétique, se distingue des aventures tumultueuses des Trois Mousquetaires et du Comte de Monte-Cristo. Dans une sorte de huis-clos, l'auteur dresse un portrait vivant de ses personnages et des passions qui les agitent.
