First published in 1875, General William T. Sherman's memoir was one of the first from the Civil War and was offered to the public because, as Sherman wrote in his dedication, "no satisfactory history" of the war was yet available. Although Memoirs has been revised and corrected many times over the years, Sherman famously never changed the original text of his recollections.

Als Josef K. eines Morgens aufwacht wird er überraschend verhaftet. Von einer mysteriösen Behörde soll ihm der Prozess gemacht werden. Im Laufe der Kapitel gerät K. in ein alptraumhaftes Labyrinth einer surrealen Bürokratie. K. dringt immer tiefer in dieses System ein, er erfährt Verschiedenes über die Hierarchien der "Gerichte", doch nie gelangt er zur höchsten Instanz, nie erfährt er, worin seine "Schuld" besteht. Gleichzeitig dringt das System immer weiter in K.s Leben ein. Schließlich muss er erkennen, dass der "Sinn dieser großen Organisation, dieser korrupten Bande", der Sinn dieses geheimnisvollen Prozesses die "Sinnlosigkeit" ist...

Light-skinned Black woman Irene Redfield encounters an old childhood friend - Clare - who is now "passing" as a White woman.

Le nouveau phénomène de l'humour vient de Berlin-Est... Et c'est un kangourou ! Un jour, Marc-Uwe Kling voit débarquer chez lui un kangourou sans gêne. Communiste et chômeur, le marsupial vide le réfrigérateur et refuse de payer un loyer. Surtout, il entraîne le narrateur - souvent contre son gré - dans des conversations à bâtons rompus brassant tous les sujets, du totalitarisme des marchands de soupe en sachet aux tatouages de Robbie Williams. Difficile à la lecture de savoir qui des deux protagonistes montre le plus de mauvais esprit.

Captain Marryat's The Children of the New Forest is a wonderful tale in narrative, historically rich and quite fascinating. This story of adventure, treachery, and love takes place during the English Civil War, when fellow countrymen are found enemies, and are set against each other, Roundhead and Cavalier, Parliament and the King. Many hoped for the same thing: justice. But, for a long time, neither could find it. In the midst of all were the Beverlies, the family of a faithful Cavalier, who died in service of the king.

1950, Saint-Veillant, Dordogne. Gil Jallas, beau garçon de dix-sept ans, a l'esprit et les sens aiguisés. Il rêve d'entrer à l'université et de devenir un grand écrivain. Las, la réalité n'est pas un rêve. En guise d'écriture, sitôt décrochée la première partie de son bac, c'est à celle de la perception qu'il va devoir s'atteler. Plongé au cœur des rumeurs et des secrets inavouables du bourg qu'attise encore la mémoire de la guerre toute proche, le futur romancier met au jour les vérités humaines pas toujours reluisantes.

The Witch is dead. And the discovery of her corpse - by a group of children playing near the irrigation canals - propels the whole village into an investigation of how and why this murder occurred. Rumors and suspicions spread. As the novel unfolds in a dazzling linguistic torrent, with each unreliable narrator lingering on new details, new acts of depravity or brutality, Melchor extracts some tiny shred of humanity from these characters that most would write off as utterly irredeemable, forming a lasting portrait of a damned Mexican village.

Vadim, adolescent intuitif et caustique, cherche encore à faire le deuil de son père lorsqu'il perd son amie Valentine. Jour après jour, sous les regards impuissants de ses proches, il s'isole. Incapable de retourner au collège, cloîtré chez lui, Vadim s'échappe sur les toits de son immeuble pour trouver une issue à sa mélancolie. Une rencontre va le sauver : par le hasard d'une chute, Vadim tombe sur Alma... Le roman poignant de deux solitudes, qui vont s'amadouer, s'épauler, se heurter parfois. Une très belle histoire d'amitié.

Considerado como um dos maiores romances de Machado de Assis e pertencente ao gênero de realismo psicológico, mesmo contendo resquícios de sua fase romântica, por tratar de temas como ciúmes, adultério e amor na perspectiva do protagonista, com suas reflexões e devaneios. Dom Casmurro narra a história de Bentinho, sua infância na Rua de Matacavalos e seu grande amor por Capitu, uma das figuras femininas mais enigmáticas da literatura brasileira. A relação dos dois é abalada quando Bento começa a acreditar que sua mulher o está traindo com o melhor amigo.

Este libro ejemplifica como pocos la idea de que la obra postrera de un autor se transforma en involuntario legado. Austerlitz es el último libro que Sebald publicó en vida, y sin duda una de las novelas más ineludibles de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Pero es también una novela fantasma: el retrato fascinado de una Europa recién desaparecida. A través de los encuentros entre el narrador y el misterioso Jacques Austerlitz, al que conoce accidentalmente en la estación de Amberes, se va desplegando un recorrido espectral por la civilización europea del siglo XX, un mundo de fortalezas, estaciones de tren, campos de concentración, librerías.

The Singularity of Being presents a Lacanian vision of what makes each of us an inimitable and irreplaceable creature. It argues that, unlike the "subject" (who comes into existence as a result of symbolic prohibition) or the "person" (who is aligned with the narcissistic conceits of the imaginary), the singular self emerges in response to a galvanizing directive arising from the real. This directive carries the force of an obligation that cannot be resisted and that summons the individual to a "character" beyond his or her social investments.

Born from Bukowski's columns, the LA underground press of the 1960s, Bukowski defined his early alter ego, Hank Chinaski, as a self-described dirty old man who eyes his defeatist attitude about himself with his clarity to see humor and holiness in others. Addictive and instructive listening, Bukowski delivers the humanity and intelligence of all the unseen. Filled with his usual obsessions - sex, booze, gambling - Notes features Bukowski's offbeat insights into politics and literature, and his tortured, violent relationships.

Essere ragazzi a Palermo: la contraddizione di trovarti con Giovanni Falcone che ti fa gli auguri di compleanno e il figlio di un noto boss mafioso che è tuo amico perché essere amici, alle scuole elementari, è normale, e bello. Anni dopo, con alle spalle l'Italia degli anni Novanta, i suoi riti e le sue stragi, come quella di Capaci - rimasta impressa nella memoria di un ragazzo ora divenuto adulto - un vassoio d'argento che appartiene a quel periodo potrebbe rappresentare un'altra prova, vera e concreta, dei rapporti fra la mafia e i vertici politici dello Stato.

Written before all of Antarctica was fully mapped and explored, At the Mountains of Madness tells of a terrifying journey into the unknown. Epic in scope, cinematic in its sweep, and breathtaking in its revelations about humanity, this—described by some as the first true science-fiction novel—may be Lovecraft’s greatest literary achievement!
