Ethel, a fiatal francia grafikusn? úgy tudja, hogy zsidó származású. Egy furcsa véletlennek k?sz?nhet?en felfedezi, hogy családja t?rténetébe kitalált szálak sz?v?dtek. Minden jel arra mutat, hogy nagymamája, a mindenkinél jobban szeretett Marie, akire egész identitását felépítette, hazudott neki. Vajon azért, hogy érdekesebb életet kreáljon magának, mint amilyen a sajátja volt, vagy más, ennél titokzatosabb okokból? Ethel lázasan kutatni kezd, de nagyanyja, aki válaszolhatna kérdéseire, Alzheimer-kórral küszk?dik, és már meg sem ismeri Csillagot, ahogy unokáját szólította magyarul. Az ?nmagával, a szerelemmel és párkapcsolataival is vívódó Ethel nyomozása során egymásba forduló sorst?rténetek bontakoznak ki üld?ztetéssel, háborúval, elnyomással, meneküléssel, a ?sehova tartozás” gy?trelmeivel, családi titkokkal, szenvedélyekkel, szerelmekkel és árulásokkal. A Csillag egy hazugság t?rténete, amely máshova vezet, mint gondolnánk... Clara Royer els? regényét magyar származású nagymamájának ajánlja, aki gy?kereit?l rég elszakadva, távolra vet?dve az ?hazától, Csillagomnak szólította unokáját, pedig már elfelejtett magyarul. Marie alakját ? ihlette a 2011-ben magyar címmel megjelent k?nyvben, amellyel a fiatal szerz? berobbant a kortárs francia irodalomba, és a megindító t?rténet mesesz?vésével, sajátosan új nyelvhasználatával elismer? kritikai visszhangot vívott ki.

The Abbot's Ghost or Maurice Treherne's Temptation, A Christmas Story
￥8.09
According to Wikipedia: books, like this one, that Louisa May Alcott wrote under the pseudonym A.M . Barnard are "passionate, fiery novels and stories"... These works ... were known in the Victorian Era as "potboilers" or "blood-and-thunder tales." Her character Jo in "Little Women" publishes several such stories but ultimately rejects them after being told that they are "dangerous for little minds." Their protagonists are willful and relentless in their pursuit of their own aims, which often include revenge on those who have humiliated or thwarted them. These works achieved immediate commercial success and remain highly readable today." According to Wikipedia: "Louisa May Alcott (1832 – 1888) was an American novelist. She is best known for the novel Little Women, published in 1868. This novel is loosely based on her childhood experiences with her three sisters."

Aesop for Children
￥8.09
This edition, with 114 color illustrations, was first published in 1919. According to Wikipedia: "Aesop (ca. 620-564 BC), known for the genre of fables ascribed to him, was by tradition born a slave and was a contemporary of Croesus and Solon in the mid-sixth century BC in ancient Greece... The body of work identified as Aesop's Fables was transmitted by a series of later authors writing in both Greek and Latin. Demetrius of Phalerum (ca. 350-ca. 280 BC) made a collection in ten books, probably in prose (Lopson Aisopeion sunagogai) for the use of orators, which has been lost. Next appeared an edition in elegiac verse, cited by the Suda, but the author's name is unknown. Phaedrus, a freedman of Augustus, rendered the fables into Latin. Babrius turned the fables into Greek choliambics in the earlier part of the 3rd century A.D. Another 3rd century author, Titianus, rendered the fables in prose, now lost. Avianus (of uncertain date, perhaps the 4th century) translated 42 of the fables into Latin elegiacs. The 4th century grammarian Dositheus Magister also made a collection of Aesop's Fables, now lost. Aesop's Fables continued to be revised and translated through the ensuing centuries, with the addition of material from other cultures, so that the fables known today in some cases bear little relation to the original fables of Aesop. With a surge in scholarly interest in Aesop and Aesopic fable beginning toward the end of the 20th century, some attempt has been made to determine the nature and content of the very earliest fables which may be most closely linked to the historic Aesop... Milo Winter (August 7, 1888 – August 15, 1956) was a well known book illustrator, who produced works for editions of Aesop's Fables, Arabian Nights, Alice in Wonderland, Gulliver's Travels, Tanglewood Tales (1913) and others. He was born in Princeton, Illinois and trained at Chicago’s School of the Art Institute. He lived in Chicago until the early 1950s, when he moved to New York City. From 1947 to 1949, he was the art editor of Childcraft books and from 1949, was the art editor in the film strip division of Silver Burdett Company."
