Giovanni’s Room (Penguin Modern Classics)
An alternate cover for this ISBN can be found here.Baldwin's haunting and controversial second novel is his most sustained treatment of sexuality, and a classic of gay literature. In a 1950s Paris swarming with expatriates and characterized by dangerous liaisons and hidden violence, an American finds himself unable to repress his impulses, despite his determination to live the conventional life he envisions for himself. After meeting and proposing to a young woman, he falls into a lengthy affair with an Italian bartender and is confounded and tortured by his sexual identity as he oscillates between the two.Examining the mystery of love and passion in an intensely imagined narrative, Baldwin creates a moving and complex story of death and desire that is revelatory in its insight.
Modern Classics Siddhartha (Penguin Modern Classics)
Hermann Hesse's moving and inspirational chronicle of spiritual evolution, Siddhartha, includes a new introduction by bestselling author Paulo Coehlo in Penguin Classics. Siddhartha is perhaps the most important and compelling moral allegory our troubled century has produced. Integrating Eastern and Western spiritual traditions with psychoanalysis and philosophy, this strangely simple tale, written with a deep and moving empathy for humanity, has touched the lives of millions since its original publication in 1922. Set in India, Siddhartha is the story of a young Brahmin's search for ultimate reality after meeting with the Buddha. His quest takes him from a life of decadence to asceticism, from the illusory joys of sensual love with a beautiful courtesan, and of wealth and fame, to the painful struggles with his son and the ultimate wisdom of renunciation. Hermann Hesse (1877-1962) suffered from depression, endured criticism for his pacifist views, and weathered series of personal crises which led him to undergo psychoanalysis with J. B. Lang: a process which resulted in Demian (1919), a novel whose main character is torn between the orderliness of bourgeois existence and the turbulent and enticing world of sensual experience. This dichotomy is prominent in Hesse's subsequent novels, including Siddhartha (1922), Steppenwolf (1927), Narcissus and Goldmund (1930) and his magnum opus, The Glass Bead Game (1943). Hesse was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1946. Paulo Coelho was born in Brazil and has become one of the most widely read authors in the world. Especially renowned for The Alchemist and Eleven Minutes, he has sold more than 100 million books worldwide and has been translated into 66 languages. If you enjoyed Siddhartha, you might like Hesse's Steppenwolf, also available in Penguin Classics.

Animal Farm
All animals are equal - but some are more equal than others' When the downtrodden animals of Manor Farm overthrow their master Mr Jones and take over the farm themselves, they imagine it is the beginning of a life of freedom and equality. But gradually a cunning, ruthless élite among them, masterminded by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, starts to take control. Soon the other animals discover that they are not all as equal as they thought, and find themselves hopelessly ensnared as one form of tyranny is replaced with another. 'It is the history of a revolution that went wrong - and of the excellent excuses that were forthcoming at every step for the perversion of the original doctrine,' wrote Orwell for the first edition of Animal Farm in 1945. Orwell wrote the novel at the end of 1943, but it almost remained unpublished: its savage attack on Stalin, at that time Britain's ally, led to the book being refused by publisher after publisher. Orwell's simple, tragic fable has since become a world-famous classic. This Penguin Modern classics edition includes an introduction by Malcolm Bradbury.

Culture et impérialisme – Edward Saïd
Dans Culture et impérialisme, Edward Said sonde des chefs-d’œuvre de la tradition occidentale et montre comment quelques-unes des productions culturelles les plus vénérées - y compris Mansfield Park de Jane Austen, Heart of Darkness de Joseph Conrad, Aida de Giuseppe Verdi, et L’Etranger d’Albert Camus - font appel aux mêmes énergies qui entrent dans la construction des empires. Il éclaire brillamment la manière dont la culture et la politique ont coopéré, sciemment et incons-ciemment, pour produire un système de domination qui a contribué, plus que les canons et les sol-dats, à construire une souveraineté qui s’étendait sur les formes, les images et l’imaginaire aussi bien des dominants que des dominés. Cet essai retrace également le développement d’une « souche oppo-sitionnel » qui a identifié et exposé les mécanismes de contrôle et de répression. Travaillant essen-tiellement dans les langues de leurs maîtres coloniaux, des écrivains autochtones comme William Butler Yeats, Aimé Césaire, Frantz Fanon, Kateb Yacine, et Chinua Achebe ont participé au pro-cessus de décolonisation en réclamant le droit pour leurs peuples à l’autodétermination de l’histoire et de la culture.
Enfin ce livre passionné et immensément documenté montre comment, aujourd’hui encore, l’héritage impérial imprègne les relations entre l’Occident et le monde anciennement colonisé à chaque niveau de la pratique politique, idéologique et sociale. Sa vision révèle néanmoins un vrai espoir : l’Occident et les peuples anciennement « assujettis » peuvent atteindre une cohabitation harmonieuse. Au-delà des nationalismes de division, Edward Said montre le chemin vers une prise de conscience que la véritable communauté humaine est mondiale.
« De nos jours, pour l’essentiel, le colonialisme direct a pris fin. L’impérialisme, nous le verrons, perdure là où il a toujours existé, dans une sorte de sphère culturelle générale et dans des pratiques politiques, idéologiques, économiques et sociales spécifiques. »
Edward W. Said.
Ennemis Mortels, représentations de l’islam et politiques musulmanes en France à l’époque coloniale – Olivier Lecour Granmaison
Pour mieux comprendre la place singulière de l’islam aujourd’hui en France, cet ouvrage étudie les représentations de cette religion et des musulmans élaborées de la fin du XIXe siècle jusqu’à la guerre d’Algérie par les élites académiques, scientifiques, littéraires et politiques.
S’appuyant sur des sources diverses, parfois ignorées ou négligées, Olivier Le Cour Grandmaison analyse la façon dont ces élites ont, pendant des décennies, conçu et diffusé un portrait pour le moins sombre des colonisés musulmans. Pendant qu’Ernest Renan, par exemple, soutient que l’islam « n’a été que nuisible », Guy de Maupassant se passionne pour la sexualité prétendument débridée et « contre nature » de ses adeptes.
Conçues par des personnalités souvent célèbres, diffusées par des institutions prestigieuses, ces représentations sont rapidement incluses dans de multiples ouvrages de vulgarisation. Jugé rétif au progrès, le « musulman » est décrit comme un danger protéiforme et existentiel qui menace les bonnes mœurs, la sécurité sanitaire, celle des biens et des personnes, l’avenir de la nation et de la civilisation occidentale.
Ces représentations éclairent également les « politiques musulmanes » mises en œuvre par la France. Enfin, comme le montre l’auteur, ce passé affecte toujours notre présent et alimente les obsessions islamophobes de beaucoup de nos contemporains.
Le vent a dit son nom – Mohamed Abdallah
Oran, automne 1954.
à la Mauresque, un espace symbole de tout un pays en agitation, au cœur de la ville indigène d’Oran, les doutes de ses occupants se multiplient et les questions abondent. Journalistes, politiques, romanciers, poètes, artistes se débattent dans un moment charnière de l’Histoire de leurs pays. Le monde ancien se meurt, tandis que le nouveau tarde à naître pour eux. Les hésitations comme les initiatives sont légion.
Ils essayent de naviguer à vue dans un océan si vaste qu’il se confond avec l’horizon ; un horizon qu’ils semblent parfois oublier mais que l’auteur a essayé de donner en permanence à voir aux lecteurs à travers son roman : Le Vent a dit son Nom.
multipliant les références aux figures emblématiques de l’éveil des consciences pour la liberté, Mohamed Abdallah tente d’offrir un regard neuf sur le rôle que peuvent tenir les hommes de lettres, les intellectuels, et plus généralement les gens de la culture, au moment où une Nation s’apprête à connaître de nouvelles épreuves. Autant de thèmes qui résonnent encore avec notre actualité.
« Une sage malice rayonnait de ses traits, et on avait toujours l’impression qu’il en savait plus qu’il ne voulait bien le dire, qu’une réflexion astucieuse se cachait derrière ses sourires. Son esprit vif et sa bonne bouille faisaient le bonheur de la Mauresque et de ses environs ; un rappel par son charme si tranquille que le monde pouvait encore recéler de la délicatesse. » (M. Abdallah)
Mémoires d’un gardien de but – Mehdi Cerbah
Dans ce récit autobiographique, Mehdi Cerbah, un des plus célèbres gardiens de but de sa génération, se livre aux amateurs de la balle ronde et relate les moments les plus succulents, parfois douloureux, qui ont jalonné sa carrière de footballeur, depuis son premier poste à la sélection nationale, catégorie cadet, en 1968.
De ses passages dans les clubs du championnat national aux compétitions africaines et méditerranéennes, jusqu’à l’épopée du Mondial 1982 avec la sélection nationale, revivre ces instants, dans l’intimité des vestiaires, des entraînements, des regroupements ou lors des déplacements, nous replongent dans un passé où le football en Algérie était non seulement considéré comme une compétition sportive où les clubs se disputaient les premières places des championnats en toute sportivité, car dignes représentants d’un quartier de la ville ou d’une région, mais en plus, c’était une « question de fierté nationale » que de voir le football national arracher sa place dans les débats des compétitions continentales et mondiales, juste au lendemain de l’indépendance du pays. Cela devait se faire sous le poids de lourdes jambes et d’un dévouement absolu.
Avec ce témoignage poignant, vivant, et vécu de surcroît, Mehdi Cerbah, la Grinta, comme aimer l’appeler ses coéquipiers, lègue dans ces pages une partie de l’histoire du football algérien et rend hommage à toute une génération de footballeurs, d’entraîneurs, de dirigeants et cadres sportifs qui ont fait son prestige. En homme public, dans un domaine aussi sensible que le football, il refuse de se murer dans le silence, se rendre complice d’un quelconque détournement de cette histoire ou permettre aux fossoyeurs de s’approprier des honneurs qui ne leurs sont pas dus.
« Faire oublier les sacrifices et les exploits consentis par toute une génération, digne héritière de son aînée, la glorieuse équipe du FLN, est une sorte de confiscation d’une partie de notre histoire... », nous confie-t-il.
Comment israël expulsa les palestiniens – Dominique Vidal
« Le passage du Yichouv à l’Etat d’Israël doit en effet beaucoup à la situation qui prévaut après 1945 : le génocide a donné une légitimation tragique à la revendication sioniste d’un Etat, incité les Alliés à la soutenir, et travaillé la mauvaise conscience des opinions dans les pays complices de l’entreprise nazie. Sans oublier les centaines de milliers de personnes déplacées qui, ne pouvant pas rentrer dans leur pays ni émigrer en Grande-Bretagne ou aux Etats-Unis, n’ont d’autre choix que l’émigration vers la Palestine. Autant de facteurs qui participent au ‘‘ lien entre l’Holocauste et Israël ’’ souligné par le grand intellectuel palestinien Edward Saïd… » Dominique Vidal (Le Monde diplomatique).
En 1987, paraissait « La Naissance du problème des réfugiés palestiniens », le premier livre de ce qu’on allait bientôt appeler la « nouvelle histoire » israélienne. Son auteur, Benny Morris, mais aussi Ilan Pappé, Avi Shlaïm, Tom Segev et d’autres ont, en quelques années, réécrit les conditions dans lesquelles l’État d’Israël a vu le jour, battant en brèche les mythes et les tabous chers à leurs prédécesseurs. Il est désormais impossible de nier la réalité de l’expulsion de quelque 800.000 Palestiniens dans les mois qui précèdent et suivent la création de l’État juif en mai 1948.
Que nous apprennent les travaux de ces chercheurs sur des événements fondateurs du conflit israélo-palestinien Quels débats ont-ils suscités parmi leurs pairs ? Quelle influence ont-ils exercée sur une société israélienne ? confrontée, entre deux Intifadas, aux accords de paix d’Oslo ? Autant de questions auxquelles répond ce livre de synthèse.
En portant à la connaissance d’un grand public les apports d’ouvrages dont la plupart n’ont pas été traduits en français, ce livre complété par une enquête originale sur les polémiques actuelles autour de la « nouvelle histoire » en Israël.
