Titre : About a boy Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Nick Hornby, Auteur Editeur : Penguin Books Année de publication : 2000 Importance : p. 278 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-14-100733-5 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : "Too cool! At thirty-six, he's as hip as a teenager. He's single, child-free, goes to the right clubs and knows which trainers to wear. He's also found a great way to score with women: attend single parents' groups full of available (and grateful) mothers, all hoping to meet a Nice Guy.
Which is how Will meets Marcus, the oldest twelve-year-old on the planet. Marcus is a bit strange: he listens to Joni Mitchell and Mozart, looks after his mum and has never owned a pair of trainers. But Marcus latches on to Will - and won't let go. Can Will teach Marcus how to grow up cool? And can Marcus help Will just to grow up?
This astonishing novel, now a modern classic, was adapted for the acclaimed 2002 film About A Boy, starring Hugh Grant and Nicholas Hoult. Fans of One Day by David Nicholls and Any Human Heart by William Boyd will devour this book, as will lovers of fiction everywhere.

Titre : A Clockwork Orange Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Anthony Burgess (1917-1993), Auteur Editeur : Penguin Books Année de publication : 2007 Importance : 306 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-14-119753-1 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Résumé : "dystopian novel A Clockwork Orange was published in 1962. It was inspired initially by an incident during the Second World War in which his wife Lynne was robbed, assaulted and violated by deserters from the US Army in London during the blackout. The event may have contributed to her subsequent miscarriage. The book was an examination of free will and morality. The young anti-hero, Alex, captured after a short career of violence and mayhem, undergoes a course of aversion therapy treatment to curb his violent tendencies. This results in making him defenceless against other people and unable to enjoy some of his favourite music that, besides violence, had been an intense pleasure for him. In the non-fiction book Flame into Being (1985) Burgess described A Clockwork Orange as "a jeu d'esprit knocked off for money in three weeks."

Titre : Down and Out in Paris and London Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : George Orwell (1903-1950), Auteur Editeur : Penguin Books Année de publication : 2001 Importance : p. 215 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-14-118438-8 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : "George Orwell's vivid memoir of his time living among the desperately poor and destitute, Down and Out in Paris and London is a moving tour of the underworld of society.
'You have talked so often of going to the dogs - and well, here are the dogs, and you have reached them.'
Written when Orwell was a struggling writer in his twenties, it documents his 'first contact with poverty'. Here, he painstakingly documents a world of unrelenting drudgery and squalor - sleeping in bug-infested hostels and doss houses of last resort, working as a dishwasher in Paris's vile 'Hôtel X', surviving on scraps and cigarette butts, living alongside tramps, a star-gazing pavement artist and a starving Russian ex-army captain. Exposing a shocking, previously-hidden world to his readers, Orwell gave a human face to the statistics of poverty for the first time - and in doing so, found his voice as a writer."

Adam is the more beloved by his father, despite being softer, but Charles craves his father's love and doesn't get it—and on one occasion he takes his anger out on Adam. Cyrus forces Adam into the cavalry, while Charles stays home and takes over the farm. After Cyrus's death, the brothers learn that Cyrus left them a suspiciously large amount of money.
By chance Adam and Charles come across Cathy, a manipulative, sexual, and (secretly) evil woman. Charles understands the kind of person she really is, but Adam builds her up into his perfect Eve. He marries her and takes her to California, where he buys a nice big ranch. This is where Adam meets Samuel Hamilton, an Irish-American farmer and intellectual with a large family, a heart of gold, and a lot of bad luck when it comes to making money. He and his family appear throughout the plot.Age : A partir de 10 ans East of Eden [texte imprimé] / John Steinbeck (1902-1968), Auteur . - Penguin Books, 2000 . - 600 p.
