Excerpt from Princesses de Science
Le docteur Fernand Guemene, s'etant leve selon son habitude a sept heures, passa sous la douche avec sa ponctualite coutumiere, s'habilla, sonna pour le the qu'on lui monta dans sa chambre, et se mit a dejeuner pres de la fenetre ouverte.
Il habitait, a la pointe de l'ile Saint-Louis, un minuscule hotel ou il venait de s'etablir comme medecin de quartier. Par les hautes fenetres du XVIIIe siecle qui s'etageaient deux par deux dans l'etroite facade, il voyait, presque au pied de la maison, couler la Seine sous le rideau touffu des peupliers d'ltalie, frissonnants et somptueux, qui bordaient la rive.

Silbermann is a beautiful but painful book . . . it is about the difficult ties of adolescent friendship in the midst of the cruelty of a group, the tensions between children and their parents and the themes of sincerity, bad faith and self-deceit.

French African prose can be given a beginning with the publication in 1921 of the novel Batouala . . . its sensitive portrayal of African life, with its evocation of the natural environment, could not but make a profound impression upon its African readers and offered a vivid example of what an African novel in French could be.

Friedrich considers the Montaigne of the Essays on of the first "moralists" in the French sense of the term, recording with anthropological fervor and in fresh, informal language the full spectrum of human thought and commerce as he saw it. Philippe Desan, who introduces this fine translation, commends Friedrich's holistic interpretation of Montaigne's unstructured creation, so often reduced by critics to its smallest fragments. Friedrich, says Desan, evokes "an epoch, distilled from accounts given by the best witness of the Renaissance."

As a child, Calvin felt an affinity with the comic book character from Bill Watterson’s Calvin & Hobbes.

He was born on the day the last strip was published; his grandpa left a stuffed tiger named Hobbes in his crib; and he even had a best friend named Susie. Then Calvin’s mom washed Hobbes to death, Susie grew up beautiful and stopped talking to him, and Calvin pretty much forgot about the strip—until now. Now he is seventeen years old and has been diagnosed with schizophrenia. Hobbes is back, as a delusion, and Calvin can’t control him. Calvin decides that Watterson is the key to everything—if he would just make one more comic strip, but without Hobbes, Calvin would be cured. Calvin and Susie (is she real?) and Hobbes (he can’t be real, can he?) set out on a dangerous trek across frozen Lake Erie to track down Watterson.

Joseph Bosham, self–styled third Viscount of Bosham, with a half–English Catholic priest for a father and an Italian brothel–keeper in place of a mother, educated in mathematics, music, and philosophy, but with a gift for narrative and a natural bent for depravity, was born into the turbulent Europe of 1790 and settled in Spain. There, gypsies, devil–worshippers, and the remnants of the Inquisition fought for space with the great armies of Wellington and Napoleon. Seduced by the hectic glamour of battle at the age of eleven and tossed in its wake for the next fifteen years, little José survives as courier, pimp, linguist, mercenary, and mascot to tell his poignant, comic, richly entertaining, and tantalizingly unreliable tale. Shortlisted for Britain’s Booker Prize in 1979, and now available for the first time in paperback, Julian Rathbone’s re–invention of the picaresque is a riotous, complex, and deliciously subversive masterpiece.

Excerpt from Etude Anthropometrique sur les Prostituees Et les Voleuses L'anthropologie, comme toute science precise, base ses conclusions sur des donnees uniformes et exactes, qu'il est bien plus difficile de recueillir et d'accumuler, qu'on ne le croit en commencant un semblable travail.

Emily Webb is a geek. And she's happy that way. Content hiding under hoodies and curling up to watch old horror flicks, she's never been the kind of girl who sneaks out for midnight parties. And she's definitely not the kind of girl who starts fights or flirts with other girls' boyfriends. Until one night Emily finds herself doing exactly that . . . the same night one of her classmates--also named Emily--is found mysteriously murdered.

The thing is, Emily doesn't know why she's doing any of this. By day, she's the same old boring Emily, but by night, she turns into a thrill seeker. With every nightfall, Emily gets wilder until it's no longer just her personality that changes. Her body can do things it never could before: Emily is now strong, fast, and utterly fearless. And soon Emily realizes that she's not just coming out of her shell . . . there's something much bigger going on. Is she bewitched by the soul of the other, murdered Emily? Or is Emily Webb becoming something else entirely-- something not human?

As Emily hunts for answers, she finds out that she's not the only one this is happening to--some of her classmates are changing as well. Who is turning these teens into monsters--and how many people will they kill to get what they want?
