Spitcat, a raging forest fire in the Sierra Nevada of California, had a lifespan of merely eleven days, "yet its effects could be reckoned ahead in centuries." So writes George R. Stewart in this engrossing novel of a fire started by lightning in the dry heat of September, and fanned out of control by unexpected winds. The book begins with the origins of the fire - smoldering quietly at first, unnoticed, then suddenly bursting into a terrifying inferno, devouring trees and animals over acre after acre and leaving nothing but desolation in its wake.

"J'étais au trente-sixième dessous. J'avais du verre pilé à la place du cœur. Quand j'ai rencontré Dominic, tout a changé. Peu à peu, la douleur s'est atténuée. J'ai réappris à être heureuse. Je n'aurais jamais soupçonné à quel point il était exaltant de s'abandonner. C'est aussi à Dominic que je dois cette découverte. Avec lui, j'explore un univers inconnu où le plaisir et la douleur ne font qu'un, à l'image de cet amour en clair-obscur dont il m'entoure. Un amour qui me laisse pieds et poings liés.

"The Fir-Tree" (Danish: Grantræet) is a literary fairy tale by the Danish poet and author Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875). The tale is about a fir tree so anxious to grow up, so anxious for greater things, that he cannot appreciate living in the moment. The tale was first published 21 December 1844 with "The Snow Queen", in Copenhagen, Denmark, by C.A. Reitzel. One scholar (Andersen biographer Jackie Wullschlager) indicates that "The Fir-Tree" was the first of Andersen's fairy tales to express a deep pessimism.
