Format : 22 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-86046-991-6 Catégories : [Centre d'intérêt] Livre en anglais Index. décimale : 843 Résumé : One night Jose Antonio Maria Vaz hears gunfire from the deserted theatre next door to his bakery. He races to the theatre's uppermost gallery, and there beneath him on a spotlit stage lies the wounded body of Nelio, a street urchin renowned for living on his wits. Gasping, the wounded boy asks to be taken to the roof to breathe the beautiful air fresh off the Indian Ocean. On that theatre roof, his life ebbing away, Nelio begins his story.
At the age of five, Nelio watched helplessly as his village was burned to the ground and his people were massacred by bandits. He escaped by chance; a man handed him a gun and ordered him to shoot another boy, but instead he turned the gun on the bandit and ran. He made his way to the coast, encountering en route bizarre characters who gave him guidance. Upon arrival in the city Nelio joined a rough street gang, and began a very different way of life.Exemplaires (1)

Titre : City of The Beasts Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Isabel Allende Editeur : London : Flamingo Année de publication : 2003 Importance : 406 p. Format : 20 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-00-714637-6 Catégories : [Centre d'intérêt] Livre en anglais Index. décimale : 843 Résumé : Adventure seekers will find plenty of thrills in Allende's first novel for young readers. When 15-year-old Alexander Cold is sent to stay with his eccentric, gruff grandmother, Kate, while his mother is being treated for cancer, he is more than a little reluctant to accompany Kate on a writing assignment in South America to search for a legendary nine-foot-tall "Beast." However, once the expedition down the Amazon begins, Alexander's doubts are pushed out of his mind by more immediate concerns, such as keeping an eye on two suspicious members of the party: a native named Karakawe and Mauro Cari as, a wealthy entrepreneur. After Alexander's mysterious encounter with a caged jaguar, another teen, Nadia, explains its importance to him, and begins calling Alexander "Jaguar." This marks the beginning of their somewhat surreal journey: the two teens are kidnapped by the "People of the Mist," a tribe possessing the power of turning invisible, and enter a mountain to discover the mythical city of El Dorado and the enigmatic "Beasts." Reluctant readers may be intimidated by the thickness of this volume, but the plot moves at a rapid pace, laced with surprises and ironic twists. The action and outcome seem preordained, cleverly crafted to deliver the moral, but many readers will find the author's formula successful with its environmentalist theme, a pinch of the grotesque and a larger dose of magic.

Although confused at first and quickly imprisoned, he soon realises that his knowledge of the future can transform his fate. Correctly predicting a solar eclipse from inside his prison cell, Morgan terrifies the people of England into releasing him and swiftly establishes himself as the most powerful magician in the land, stronger than Merlin and greatly admired by Arthur himself. But the Connecticut Yankee wishes for more than simply a place at the Round Table. Soon, he begins a far greater struggle: to bring American democratic ideals to Old England. Complex and fascinating, A Connecticut Yankee is a darkly comic consideration of the nature of human nature and society. Exemplaires (1)

With a will of iron, and a lot of hard work, he eventually built the largest ranch in California. But success came at a price and, with no mother in their lives, the domineering Tucker's relationship with each of his very different daughters was complicated.
Caroline, the youngest, was overlooked by her father for her entire life. She fled the ranch as early as she could to become a wife and mother, pursuing a career writing children's books.
Gemma, his declared favourite, wanted to escape and, yearning for Hollywood glamour, became a major TV star.
Kate, the eldest, stayed at home to work on the ranch, forsaking relationships and family for a father who took her completely for granted.
When JT dies suddenly, the paper trail he leaves behind reveals much more than the sisters could ever have guessed. The truth brings a new reality, strengthening their bond with each other and helping them to understand who they really are and what they really want.Exemplaires (1)

Titre : Eat, Pray, Love Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Elizabeth Gilbert Editeur : London : Bloomsbury Année de publication : 2006 Importance : 349 p. Format : 18 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-7475-8935-8 Catégories : [Centre d'intérêt] Livre en anglais Index. décimale : 843 Résumé : Gilbert (The Last American Man) grafts the structure of romantic fiction upon the inquiries of reporting in this sprawling yet methodical travelogue of soul-searching and self-discovery. Plagued with despair after a nasty divorce, the author, in her early 30s, divides a year equally among three dissimilar countries, exploring her competing urges for earthly delights and divine transcendence. First, pleasure: savoring Italy's buffet of delights--the world's best pizza, free-flowing wine and dashing conversation partners--Gilbert consumes la dolce vita as spiritual succor. "I came to Italy pinched and thin," she writes, but soon fills out in waist and soul. Then, prayer and ascetic rigor: seeking communion with the divine at a sacred ashram in India, Gilbert emulates the ways of yogis in grueling hours of meditation, struggling to still her churning mind. Finally, a balancing act in Bali, where Gilbert tries for equipoise "betwixt and between" realms, studies with a merry medicine man and plunges into a charged love affair. Sustaining a chatty, conspiratorial tone, Gilbert fully engages readers in the year's cultural and emotional tapestry--conveying rapture with infectious brio, recalling anguish with touching candor--as she details her exotic tableau with history, anecdote and impression.

At the centre of this sweeping saga stands Paula O'Neill, beloved granddaughter of Emma and the guardian of her vast business empire. Paula believes that all that Emma left to the family is secure. However, beneath the surface sibling rivalry and discontent are beginning to flare.
Into this volatile mix walks Evan Hughes, a young American fashion designer. On her deathbed, Evan's grandmother told her to find Emma Harte. But Emma has been dead for thirty years; and Evan bears an uncanny resemblance to Paula O'Neill.
Troubled by Evan's presence, Paula turns to Emma's recently discovered war-time diaries to find the truth...
The decades fall away. It is London during The Blitz and Emma Harte comes vividly back to life. Working hard under war-time conditions, she is also holding her family together as bombs drop, sirens wail and her sons go off to war. As she struggles to cope, the indomitability, will power and strength that have forged Emma into the woman she is all come to the fore.
As the pages unfurl, Paula discovers the secret Emma Harte took to the grave to protect others.Exemplaires (1)
