The War of the Worlds
¥8.82
The War of the Worlds (1898), by H. G. Wells, is an early science fiction novel which describes an invasion of England by aliens from Mars. It is one of the earliest and best-known depictions of an alien invasion of Earth, and has influenced many others, as well as spawning several films, radio dramas, comic book adaptations, and a television series based on the story. The 1938 radio broadcast caused public outcry against the episode, as many listeners believed that an actual Martian invasion was in progress, a notable example of mass hysteria.

Harrigan
¥8.82
With gusts of wind fanning it roughly, the flame rose fast. Harrigan made other journeys to the rotten stump and wrenched away great chunks of bark and wood. He came back and piled them on the fire. It towered high, the upper tongues twisting among the branches of the tree. They laid Kate Malone between the windbreak and the fire. In a short time her trembling ceased; she turned her face to the blaze and slept.

Un Rêve
¥8.82
J'ETAIS l'unique souci de maman, et nos deux existences faisaient corps, pour ainsi dire. Ces relations entre parents et enfants ne sont pas toujours recommandables... il arrive même qu'elles soient néfastes. Ajoutez à cela que j'étais fils unique... et la plupart des enfants qui se trouvent dans mon cas ne re?oivent pas une éducation normale. En les élevant, les parents songent trop à eux-mêmes... Cela n'est pas bon. Je n'étais ni g?té, ni aigri (deux défauts qui guettent tous les enfants uniques), mais mon système nerveux avait été ébranlé prématurément. D'ailleurs, en général, ma santé laissait fort à désirer : j'avais hérité cela de ma mère, à qui je ressemblais beaucoup, à tous les points de vue.
First Love
¥8.82
Vladimir Petrovich Voldemar, a 16-year-old, is staying in the country with his family and meets Zinaida Alexandrovna Zasyekina, a beautiful 21-year-old woman, staying with her mother, Princess Zasyekina, in a wing of the manor. This family, as with many of the Russian minor nobility with royal ties of that time, were only afforded a degree of respectability because of their titles; the Zasyekins, in the case of this story, are a very poor family. The young Vladimir falls irretrievably in love with Zinaida, who has a set of several other (socially more eligible) suitors whom he joins in their difficult and often fruitless search for the young lady's favour.

Le Coup d'état de Chéri-Bibi
¥8.82
L'action se situe dans le Paris de la fin du XIXe siècle, après la Commune, dans un contexte politique trouble, hésitant entre les fant?mes de la première révolution, la montée du collectivisme et un modèle républicain clientéliste et conservateur. Chéri-Bibi, ancien bagnard condamné à tort, entreprend un coup d'état destiné à assainir la République et ses institutions. Il utilise pour cela un personnage - le commandant Jacques, militaire idéaliste qui s'est illustré dans une guerre récente, et dont on apprendra, au fil de multiples rebondissements qu'il est son fils. Gaston Leroux met en scène toute une galerie de personnages haut en couleurs - la belle Sonia, les tra?tres, les notables de la république, les citoyens ordinaires entra?nés malgré eux, dans un contexte détonnant où tout peut arriver - et arrive. ? la fois roman d'aventures et politique, nous sommes entra?nés dans un tourbillon d'évènements, une déclinaison de tra?trises, d'actions héro?ques, d'histoires d'amour et d'idéaux. Une description saisissante du Paris de la fin du XIXe siècle, et des couches de la population qui s'y croisent.
Uno, nessuno, e centomila
¥8.82
Questo romanzo, l'ultimo di Pirandello, riesce a sintetizzare il pensiero dell'autore nel modo più completo. L'autore stesso lo definisce come il romanzo "più amaro di tutti, profondamente umoristico, di scomposizione della vita". Il protagonista Vitangelo Moscarda, infatti, può essere considerato come uno dei personaggi più complessi del mondo pirandelliano, e sicuramente quello con maggior autoconsapevolezza. Dal punto di vista formale, stilistico, si può notare la forte inclinazione al monologo del soggetto, che molto spesso si rivolge al lettore ponendogli interrogativi e problemi in modo da coinvolgerlo direttamente nella vicenda, il cui significato è senza dubbio di portata universale. A dispetto della sua lunga gestazione, l'opera non è né frammentaria né disorganizzata; al contrario, può essere considerata come l'apice della carriera dell'autore e della sua tensione narrativa.

¥8.82
Dans le Paris débridé des année folles, alors que le gouvernement est aux abois, on ne parle que d'un mystérieux malfaiteur, tout-puissant, ?le Grand X?. Un riche banquier et homme politique, Milion-Lauenbourg, est le père d'une très jolie fille, Sylvie, amoureuse d'un député adversaire de son père, Claude Corbières. Celui-ci dirige la ligue anti parlementaire. Milion-Lauenbourg dirige ses affaires gr?ce à l'aide inestimable de M. Barnabé, aux allures de petit bureaucrate radin, mais qui en fait conna?t tout de la banque. Il a recours aux services de Dumont, chef de la Sureté, prototype du policier avide de pouvoir. D'autres comparses gravitent autour de ces personnages, hommes politiques, truands, parents... L'intrigue est foisonnante, délirante, les nuits de Paris sont pleines de stupre et de sang. L'auteur se livre à une féroce satire de la société de son temps et dénonce la médiocrité des élites, la dégénérescence de la noblesse et la corruption des politiciens.
