Satisfaction

« Je pense souvent à ce qu’il restera, à ce qu’Erwan gardera de moi, de son enfance, j’aimerais saisir, révéler ses sensations sur la pellicule photographique, graver nos instants, craignant que l’amour ne disparaisse avec les souvenirs, graver l’odeur du jasmin quand nous nous approchons de notre maison, odeur de la stabilité du lieu intérieur malgré les désordres de mon cœur, contre la violence extérieure, réelle ou imaginaire, de la mer, des hommes. »À travers la voix incandescente de Madame Akli, Nina Bouraoui nous offre un roman brûlant, sensuel et poétique qui réunit toutes ses obsessions littéraires : l’enfance qui s’achève, l’amour qui s’égare, le désir qui fait perdre la raison.La beauté de cet ouvrage inquiétant tient dans le contraste entre l’exaltation de la nature, la lumière idyllique des lieux et l’obscure prison mentale de l’héroïne. L’Obs.Puissant et magnifique. Le Parisien.

"Je venais d'avoir onze ans lorsque j'ai pris conscience de ce qu'était le destin. C'est drôle, en repensant à cette soirée et à tout ce qui m'est arrivé d'important depuis, je me dis que dans une vie, on ne voit jamais venir les événements qui vont vraiment compter.Depuis ce jour, plus personne ne m'a pris dans ses bras. Enfin, jusqu'à la semaine dernière. C'était encore pour m'annoncer une nouvelle qui allait dynamiter mon existence. Il n'y a pas que les insectes qui se prennent des coups de pantoufle. Je ne sais pas qui les donne, mais si c'est un dieu, il chausse grand."À travers une histoire aussi réjouissante qu'émouvante, Gilles Legardinier nous entraîne vers le moment où chacun doit décider de ce qui compte réellement dans sa vie. Plus de temps à perdre. Plus question de s'égarer. Se jeter sans filet. Aimer, libre comme jamais.

Sérotonine

"Mes croyances sont limitées, mais elles sont violentes. Je crois à la possibilité du royaume restreint. Je crois à l'amour", écrivait récemment Michel Houellebecq.Le narrateur de Sérotonine approuverait sans réserve. Son récit traverse une France qui piétine ses traditions, banalise ses villes, détruit ses campagnes au bord de la révolte. Il raconte sa vie d'ingénieur agronome, son amitié pour un aristocrate agriculteur (un inoubliable personnage de roman - son double inversé), l'échec des idéaux de leur jeunesse, l'espoir peut-être insensé de retrouver une femme perdue.Ce roman sur les ravages d'un monde sans bonté, sans solidarité, aux mutations devenues incontrôlables, est aussi un roman sur le remords et le regret.

Scenes from a Childhood

2.530,00 د.ج
WINNER OF THE 2023 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE Scenes from a Childhood is the latest collection of stories by Jon Fosse, one of Norway's most celebrated authors and playwrights, famed for the minimalist and unsettling quality of his writing. In the title work, a loosely autobiographical narrative covers infancy to awkward adolescence, unearthing the moments of childhood that linger longest in the imagination. In 'And Then My Dog Will Come Back To Me', a haunting and dream-like novella, a dispute between neighbours escalates to an inexorable climax. Taken from various sources, the texts gathered here together for the first time demonstrate that the short story is one of the recurrent modes of Fosse's imagination, and occasions some of his greatest works.

The Other Name: Septology I-II

2.990,00 د.ج
WINNTER OF THE 2023 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURESeptology I-II follows the lives of two men living close to each other on the west coast of Norway. The year is coming to a close and Asle, an ageing painter and widower, is reminiscing about his life. He lives alone, his only friends being his neighbour, Åsleik, a bachelor and traditional Norwegian fisherman-farmer, and Beyer, a gallerist who lives in Bjørgvin, a couple hours’ drive south of Dylgja, where he lives. There, in Bjørgvin, lives another Asle, also a painter. He and the narrator are doppelgangers – two versions of the same person, two versions of the same life. Written in hypnotic prose that shifts between the first and third person, Septology calls into question concrete notions around subjectivity and the self. What makes us who we are? And why do we lead one life and not another? Through flashbacks, Fosse deftly explores the convergences and divergences in the lives of both Asles, slowly building towards a decisive encounter between them both. A writer at the zenith of his career, with Septology Fosse presents us with an indelible and poignant exploration of the human condition that will endure as his masterpiece.

A New Name: Septology VI-VII

2.990,00 د.ج
Asle is an ageing painter and widower who lives alone on the southwest coast of Norway. His only friends are his neighbour, Åsleik, a traditional fisherman-farmer, and Beyer, a gallerist who lives in the city. There, in Bjørgvin, lives another Asle,also a painter but lonely and consumed by alcohol. Asle and Asle are doppelgängers – two versions of the same person, two versions of the same life, both grappling with existential questions.In this final instalment of Jon Fosse’s Septology, the major prose work by ‘the Beckett of the twenty-first century’ (Le Monde), Christmas is approaching. Tradition has it that Åsleik and Asle eat lutefisk together, but this year Asle has agreed for the first time to celebrate Christmas with Åsleik and his sister, Guro. On Christmas Eve, Åsleik, Asle, and the dog Bragi take Åsleik’s boat out on the Sygnefjord. Meanwhile, we follow the lives of the two Asles as younger adults in flashbacks: the narrator meets his lifelong love, Ales: joins the Catholic Church: starts exhibiting with Beyer: and can make a living by trying to paint away all the pictures stuck in his mind. After a while, Asle and Ales leave the city and move to the house in Dylgja. The other Asle gets married too, but his wedding ends with a sobbing bride and is followed soon after by a painful breakup.Written in melodious and hypnotic ‘slow prose’, A New Name: Septology VI-VII is a transcendent exploration of the human condition by Jon Fosse, and a radically other reading experience – incantatory, hypnotic, and utterly unique.

Drive your Plow over the Bones of the Dead

2.070,00 د.ج
With DRIVE YOUR PLOW OVER THE BONES OF THE DEAD, Man Booker International Prize-winner Olga Tokarczuk returns with a subversive, entertaining noir novel. In a remote Polish village, Janina Duszejko, an eccentric woman in her sixties, recounts the events surrounding the disappearance of her two dogs. She is reclusive, preferring the company of animals to people: she's unconventional, believing in the stars: and she is fond of the poetry of William Blake, from whose work the title of the book is taken. When members of a local hunting club are found murdered, Duszejko becomes involved in the investigation. By no means a conventional crime story, this existential thriller by `one of Europe's major humanist writers' (GUARDIAN) offers thought-provoking ideas on our perceptions of madness, injustice against marginalized people, animal rights, the hypocrisy of traditional religion, belief in predestination - and caused a genuine political uproar in Tokarczuk's native Poland.
