A collection of storiesWhen Haitians tell a story, they say 'Krik?' and the eager listeners answer 'Krak!' In Krik? Krak! In her second novel, Edwidge Danticat establishes herself as the latest heir to that narrative tradition with nine stories that encompass both the cruelties and the high ideals of Haitian life. They tell of women who continue loving behind prison walls and in the face of unfathomable loss; of a people who resist the brutality of their rulers through the powers of imagination. The result is a collection that outrages, saddens, and transports the reader with its sheer...

Andrei Makine: ' L'ecriture est une vision ' «C'est alors que, d'une voix presque eteinte, en acceptant l'echec et ne demandant plus rien, je parlai de Jacques Dorme. Je reussis a dire sa vie en quelques phrases breves, nues. Je me trouvais dans un etat d'abattement tel que j'entendais a peine ce que je disais. Et c'est dans cet etat seulement que je fus capable d'exprimer toute la douloureuse verite de cette vie. Un aviateur venu d'un pays lointain rencontre une femme du meme pays et, pendant tres peu de jours, dans une ville dont il ne restera bientot que des ruines, ils s'aiment; puis il part au bout de la terre pour conduire les avions destines au front, et meurt, en s'ecrasant sur un versant de glace, sous le ciel bleme du cercle polaire. Je l'avais dit autrement. Non pas mieux,...

From the author of A Widow for One Year, A Prayer for Owen Meany and other acclaimed novels, comes a story of a father and a son – fugitives in 20th-century North America. In 1954, in the cookhouse of a logging and sawmill settlement in northern New Hampshire, a twelve-year-old boy mistakes the local constable's girlfriend for a bear. Both the twelve-year-old and his father become fugitives, pursued by the constable. Their lone protector is a fiercely libertarian logger, once a river driver, who befriends them. In a story spanning five decades, Last Night in Twisted River – John Irving's twelfth novel – depicts the recent half-century in the United States as a world 'where lethal hatreds were generally permitted to run their course.' From the novel's taut opening sentence – 'The...

Les 11 000 vers des Contemplations furent ecrits des 1834, mais surtout pendant l'exil a Jersey, puis a Guernesey, en particulier a partir de 1853 alors que Hugo composait les Chatiments. Mettant fin au silence lyrique qu'il observait depuis les Rayons et les Ombres (1840), le recueil, sommet de sa production poetique, somme de sa vie, de sa sensibilite et de sa pensee, se presente comme «les Memoires d'une ame» (Preface). Si «une destinee est ecrite la jour a jour», le recueil s'erige aussi en expression d'une experience, celle d'un homme qui se veut comme les autres: «Quand je vous parle de moi, je vous parle de...

Ximen Nao, a landowner known for his generosity and kindness to his peasants, is not only stripped of his land and worldly possessions in Mao's Land Reform Movement of 1948, but is cruelly executed, despite his protestations of innocence. He goes to Hell, where Lord Yama, king of the underworld, has Ximen Nao tortured endlessly, trying to make him admit his guilt, to no avail. Finally, in disgust, Lord Yama allows Ximen Nao to return to earth, to his own farm, where he is reborn not as a human but first as a donkey, then an ox, pig, dog, monkey, and finally the big-headed boy Lan Qiansui. Through the earthy and hugely entertaining perspectives of these animals, Ximen Nao narrates fifty years of modern Chinese history, ending on the eve of the new millennium. Here is an absolutely...

A haunting, enigmatic, Kafkaesque modern fairytale, steeped in visual imagery and consolingly lyrical prose. The Times February is persecuting the townspeople. It has been winter for more than three hundred days. All forms of flight are banned and the children have started to disappear, taken from their beds in the middle of the night. The priests hang ominous sheets of parchment on the trees, signed 'February'. And somewhere on the outskirts of the town lives February himself, with the girl who smells of honey and smoke… In short bursts of intensely poetic language, this beautifully strange and otherworldly first novel tells the story of the people in the town and their efforts to combat the mysterious spectre of February. Steeped in visual imagery, this is a hauntingly enigmatic...

The publishers of Chris Cleave's new novel 'don't want to spoil' the story by revealing too much about it, and there's good reason not to tell too much about the plot's pivot point. All you should know going in to Little Bee is that what happens on the beach is brutal, and that it braids the fates of a 16-year-old Nigerian orphan (who calls herself Little Bee) and a well-off British couple-journalists trying to repair their strained marriage with a free holiday-who should have stayed behind their resort's walls. The tide of that event carries Little Bee back to their world, which she claims she couldn't explain to the girls from her village because they'd have no context for its abundance and calm. But she shows us the infinite rifts in a globalized world, where any distance can be...
