Modern Classics Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter (Penguin Modern Classics)
A superb autobiography by one of the great literary figures of the twentieth century, Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter offers an intimate picture of growing up in a bourgeois French family, rebelling as an adolescent against the conventional expectations of her class, and striking out on her own with an intellectual and existential ambition exceedingly rare in a young woman in the 1920s. Simone de Beavoir describes her early life, from her birth in Paris in 1908 to her student days at the Sorbonne, where she met Jean-Paul sartre - 'the dream-companion I had longed for since I was fifteen'.

Zidane, une vie secrète
Connaissez-vous Zidane ? Le joueur de génie, la star mondiale, le héros national, oui, sans doute. Mais Zinedine Zidane lui-même ? Malgré la légende et en dépit des médias, l'homme reste finalement un mystère. Avoir été Dieu sur terre, adulé de tous, peut se révéler terrible. Cette enquête, menée dans toute l'Europe pendant près de deux ans, n'a pas été sans difficultés, puisque deux détenteurs du manuscrit se sont fait cambrioler tour à tour. Pourquoi ? Parce que cette biographie lève le voile sur les secrets d'un joueur qui avait tout connu avant d'avoir trente ans. Dépassé par sa notoriété, empêché par ses contrats publicitaires, reclus derrière une omerta presque sans faille, l'ex-capitaine des Bleus ne s'appartient plus vraiment mais a su tourner cette célébrité à son avantage. En éclairant certaines facettes méconnues du personnage- sa vie quotidienne, son rapport à l'argent, son entourage, cet ouvrage se penche également sur "l'après Zizou", sans manquer de saluer le talent et la carrière fabuleuse de l'ex-idole des stades.

A Very Easy Death
Long considered one of Simone de Beauvoir's masterpieces, A Very Easy Death is a profoundly affecting, day-by-day recounting of her mother's final days after she is hospitalized following a fall. Though a devout Catholic, her faith is subsumed by her terror of death, and as her body fails, she clings to life with fierce, primal desperation. In depicting her mother's refusal to 'go gentle' while her autonomy and dignity are taken from her, Simone de Beauvoir 'shows the power of compassion when it is allied with acute intelligence' (Sunday Telegraph). Powerful, touching and sometimes shocking, this is an end-of-life account that no reader is likely to forget.
Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams
A collection of early prose stories, journalism and journal pieces exploring the themes of mental illness, creativity and gender, from one of the twentieth century's most important writers. Every day from nine to five I sit at my desk facing the door of the office and type up other people's dreams. An office assistant in a hospital pursues a secret vocation. A girl endures a series of initiation ceremonies to join her high school sorority. A married woman seeks relief from the dull realities of daily life. From her mid-teens Sylvia Plath wrote stories, twenty-four of which are collected here, along with works of journalism and extracts from her journal. 'All the pieces presented here are revealing . . . It ought to round out one's knowledge of the writer, and, perhaps, offer some surprises. Luckily it does both.' Margaret Atwood, New York Times 'A beautiful, delicate, commanding poet.' Lena Dunham ' She embodied a seismic shift in consciousness which enabled us to feel and think as we do today, and of which she was a supremely vulnerable and willing casualty. She changed our world.' Margaret Drabble, Guardian
