Le jour où j’ai appris à vivre
Imaginez : vous vous baladez sur les quais de San Francisco un dimanche, quand soudain une bohémienne vous saisit la main pour y lire votre avenir. Amusé, vous vous laissez faire, mais son regard se fige, elle devient livide. Ce qu'elle va finalement vous dire, vous auriez préféré ne pas l'entendre. À partir de là, rien ne sera plus comme avant, et il vous sera impossible de rester sur les rails de la routine habituelle.C'est ce qui va arriver à Jonathan. À la suite de cette rencontre troublante, il va se retrouver embarqué dans une aventure de découverte de soi ponctuée d'expériences qui vont changer radicalement sa vision de sa vie, de la vie...La leçon de bonheur.

Dracula (Wordsworth Collector’s Editions)
Dracula by Bram Stoker'There he lay looking as if youth had been half-renewed, for the white hair and moustache were changed to dark iron-grey, the cheeks were fuller, and the white skin seemed ruby-red underneath: the mouth was redder than ever, for on the lips were gouts of fresh blood, which trickled from the corners of the mouth and ran over the chin and neck. Even the deep, burning eyes seemed set amongst the swollen flesh, for the lids and pouches underneath were bloated. It seemed as if the whole awful creature were simply gorged with blood: he lay like a filthy leech, exhausted with his repletion.'Thus Bram Stoker, one of the greatest exponents of the supernatural narrative, describes the demonic subject of his chilling masterpiece Dracula, a truly iconic and unsettling tale of vampirism.

Arranged chronologically, the accompanying introductory essays set Shelley's works in their historical, social and political context.
