The tenderness of wolves / Stef Penney / Quercus (2007)

Public ISBD Titre : The tenderness of wolves Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Stef Penney, Auteur Editeur : Quercus, 2007 Importance : 454 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-84724-067-5 Note générale : Don : librairie Galignani Résumé : Canada, 1867. A young murder suspect flees across the snowy wilderness. Tracking him is what passes for the law in this frontier land: trappers, sheriffs, traders and the suspect's own mother, desperate to clear his name. As the party pushes further from civilisation, hidden purposes and old obsessions are revealed. One is seeking long-lost daughters; another a fortune in stolen furs; yet another is chasing rumours of a lost Native American culture. But where survival depends on cooperation, their fragile truce cannot afford to be broken, nor their overriding purpose - to find justice for a murdered man - forgotten.

Wartime notebooks / Marguerite Duras / Quercus (2011)

Public ISBD Titre : Wartime notebooks Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Marguerite Duras, Auteur Editeur : Quercus, 2011 Importance : 336 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-84724-733-9 Note générale : Don : librairie Galignani Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Marguerite Duras was one of the leading intellectuals and novelists of post-war France. This work, retrieved from the papers she left at her death, consists of four notebooks written between 1943 and 1949 followed by ten previously unpublished short stories and autobiographical texts. She writes vividly about her childhood and teenage years in Indochina, stuck between a mother whom she loves and admires despite her shortcomings and her two brothers - one of whom was paranoid and violent. What emerges from these books is a fascinating portrayal of how Duras' life and work entertwine. Leo, the hero of her novel The Lover, is laid bare here as an uninteresting, weak man, despised by her family because he is a native. Physically he repulses her, but she and her family need his wealth. Duras becomes both whore and saviour to her family. The passages of what would later become the published manuscript of La Douleur are equally compelling. Undeniably tough to write, Duras movingly conveys her expectations and the long wait for her husband's return from concentration camps. She chronicles every little hope and disappointment she lives through. Wartime notebooks [texte imprimé] / Marguerite Duras, Auteur . - Quercus, 2011 . - 336 p.
