Antonio, un riche armateur de Venise, décide d'emprunter trois mille ducats à l'usurier juif Shylock afin d'aider son ami Bassanio à gagner Belmont où il espère faire la conquête de la belle et riche Portia. Comme les autres prétendants, il doit se soumettre à l'épreuve que le père disparu de la jeune femme a imaginée, et choisir entre trois coffrets, d'or, d'argent, et de plomb. Mais, au moment où il l'emporte sur ses rivaux, il apprend qu'Antonio vient d'être jeté en prison pour n'avoir pu rembourser sa dette à Shylock qui exige qu'en verni du contrat une livre de chair soit prélevée sur le corps de son débiteur. Publié en octobre 1600, Le Marchand de Venise entrecroise deux intrigues dont l'une met en scène, à Venise, le monde de l'argent et de la justice, tandis que l'autre, à Belmont, fait place à la musique et l'amour : une double comédie qui ne se referme pas sur une fin heureuse, mais laisse à leur mvstère les figures complexes du juif cruel, et cependant humain, et des chrétiens qui ont su en faire leur victime.
" Tout n'est pas liberté dans le monde ", et quand ce monde est le Wild, pays farouche et terre glacée, même le loup se sent prisonnier. Jack London, dans ce décor sauvage et cette nature hostile, nous conte l'histoire d'un louveteau qui vient petit à petit à la civilisation et se fait chien. La vie âpre des animaux sauvages et des chasseurs indiens ou blancs de l'Alaska a rarement été peinte avec autant de force et de vérité. Pour écrire ce récit, qui est devenu un classique de la littérature, Jack London s'est inspiré des souvenirs de son séjour dans le Grand Nord.

Elle devrait nager dans le bonheur, pourtant elle est rongée par l'angoisse, le doute, l'insatisfaction... S'ensuivent un divorce, une dépression et une liaison désastreuse qui la laissent exsangue et encore plus désemparée. Elle décide de tout plaquer pour partir seule à travers le monde. À elle de se construire la vie qu'elle s'est choisie ! En Italie, elle goûte aux délices de la dolce vita et prend les "douze kilos les plus heureux de sa vie", en Inde, ashram et rigueur ascétique l'aident à discipliner son esprit (lever à 4 heures du matin, méditation et nettoyage des sols !) et en Indonésie, elle cherche à réconcilier son corps et son âme pour trouver l'équilibre qu'on appelle le bonheur... Elizabeth Gilbert nous invite à un voyage vers l'inconnu joyeux et émouvant, libéré des mascarades et faux-semblants.
