Decameron
The Decameron (subtitle: Prencipe Galeotto) is a collection of 100 novellas by Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio, probably begun in 1350 and finished in 1353. It is a medieval allegorical work best known for its bawdy tales of love, appearing in all its possibilities from the erotic to the tragic. Some believe many parts of the tales are indebted to the influence of The Book of Good Love. Many notable writers such as Chaucer are said to have drawn inspiration from The Decameron
L’incolore Tsukuru Tazaki et ses années de pèlerinage
" Depuis le mois de juillet de sa deuxième année d'université jusqu'au mois de janvier de l'année suivante, Tsukuru Tazaki vécut en pensant presque exclusivement à la mort. "À Nagoya, ils étaient cinq amis, inséparables. Puis Tsukuru a gagné Tokyo. Un jour, ils lui ont signifié qu'ils ne voulaient plus jamais le voir. Sans raison. Pendant seize ans, celui qui est devenu architecte a vécu séparé du monde. Avant de rencontrer Sara. Pour vivre cet amour, Tsukuru va entamer son pèlerinage, et confronter le passé pour comprendre ce qui a brisé le cercle.Renouant avec le réalisme onirique de ses débuts, le maître conteur de la trilogie 1Q84 tisse une fable initiatique d'une envoûtante étrangeté, à la mélancolie apaisée." Entrer dans ce livre, c'est comme faire un rêve dont on sait d'avance qu'on se réveillera plus heureux. " ElleTraduit du japonais par Hélène Morita
La villa aux étoffes (1)
Un manoir, une famille puissante, un sombre secret...À Augsburg, près de Munich, en 1913, la jeune Marie est embauchée en cuisine à la Villa aux étoffes, la résidence des Melzer, propriétaires d'une imposante usine de textile.

Paul, l'héritier principal, se tient loin de ce genre de mondanités, car il préfère de loin sa vie d'étudiant à Munich. Du moins jusqu'à ce qu'il croise Marie... Lorsque la Première Guerre mondiale déchire l'Europe et le reste du monde, la Villa et ses habitants seront aux premières loges du conflit et subiront des bouleversements dont les effets feront trembler toute la maisonnée, l'usine ainsi que ses employés. De quoi l'avenir de Marie et de tous ces gens qui sont devenus sa famille sera-t-il fait ?

Holiday
THE BOOKER PRIZE-WINNING NOVEL2019 marks the centenary of Stanley Middleton's birth. Holiday, winner of the 1974 Booker Prize, remains the most celebrated and popular novel from 'the Chekhov of suburbia'.Edwin Fisher has fled to a seaside resort of his childhood past to try to come to terms with the death of his baby son and the collapse of his marriage to Meg. On this strange and lonely holiday, as he seeks to understand what went wrong, Edwin must find somea way to think about what he has been and decide upon where he can go next.______________________________________'At first glance, or even at second, Stanley Middleton's world is easily recognizable... The excellence of art, for Middleton, is an exact vision of real things as they are. And because he is himself so exact an observer, his world at third glance can seem strange and disturbing or newly and brilliantly lit with colour.' A.S. Byatt‘We need Stanley Middleton to remind us what the novel is about. Holiday is vintage Middleton… One has to look at nineteenth-century writing for comparable storytelling.’ Sunday Times
The Conservationist
Mehring is rich. He has all the privileges and possessions that South Africa has to offer, but his possessions refuse to remain objects. His wife, son and mistress leave him: his foreman and workers become increasingly indifferent to his stewardship: even the land rises up, as drought, then flood, destroy his farm. As the upheaval in Mehring's world increasingly resembles that in the country as a whole, it becomes clear that only a seismic shift in ideas and concrete action can avert annihilation.
