Bangkok Days / Lawrence Osborne

Public ISBD Aucun avis sur cette notice. Titre : Bangkok Days Auteurs : Lawrence Osborne, Auteur Editeur : Penguin Random House Collection : Vintage Langues : Anglais (eng)   Résumé : Tourists come to Bangkok for many reasons: a night of love, a stay in a luxury hotel, or simply to disappear for a while. Lawrence Osborne comes for the cheap dentistry, and then stays when he finds he can live off just a few dollars a day. Osborne's Bangkok is a vibrant, instinctual city full of contradictions. He wanders the streets, dining on insects, trawling through forgotten neighbourhoods, decayed temples and sleazy bars. Far more than a travel book, Bangkok Days explores both the little-known, extraordinary city and the lives of a handful of doomed ex-patriates living there, 'as vivid a set of liars and losers as was ever invented by Graham Greene' (New York Times).

I Who Have Never Known Men / Jacqueline Harpman

Public ISBD Aucun avis sur cette notice. Titre : I Who Have Never Known Men Auteurs : Jacqueline Harpman, Auteur ; Ros Schwartz, Traducteur ; Sophie Mackintosh, Préfacier, etc. Mention d'édition : 18 Editeur : Penguin Random House, 2019 Collection : Vintage Note générale : Jacqueline Harpman was born in Etterbeek, Belgium, in 1929, and fled to Casablanca with her family during WWII. Informed by her background as a psychoanalyst and her youth in exile, I Who Have Never Known Men is a haunting, heartbreaking post-apocalyptic novel of female friendship and intimacy, and the lengths people will go to maintain their humanity in the face of devastation. Back in print for the first time since 1997, Harpman’s modern classic is an important addition to the growing canon of feminist speculative literature. Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Français (fre)   Résumé : Deep underground, forty women live imprisoned in a cage. Watched over by guards, the women have no memory of how they got there, no notion of time, and only a vague recollection of their lives before. As the burn of electric light merges day into night and numberless years pass, a young girl—the fortieth prisoner—sits alone and outcast in the corner. Soon she will show herself to be the key to the others' escape and survival in the strange world that awaits them above ground.

The River's Tale / Edward A. Gargan

Public ISBD Aucun avis sur cette notice. Titre : The River's Tale: A Year on the Mekong Auteurs : Edward A. Gargan, Auteur Editeur : Penguin Random House, 2002 Collection : Vintage Langues : Anglais (eng)   Résumé : Along the Mekong, from northern Tibet to Lijiang, from Luang Prabang to Phnom Penh to Can Lo, I moved from one world to another, among cultural islands often ignorant of each other’s presence. Yet each island, as if built on shifting sands and eroded and reshaped by a universal sea, was re-forming itself, or was being remolded, was expanding its horizons or sinking under the rising waters of a cultural global warming. It was a journey between worlds, worlds fragiley conjoined by a river both ominous and luminescent, muscular and bosomy, harsh and sensuous. From windswept plateaus to the South China Sea, the Mekong flows for three thousand miles, snaking its way through Southeast Asia. Long fascinated with this part of the world, former New York Times correspondent Edward Gargan embarked on an ambitious exploration of the Mekong and those living within its watershed. The River’s Tale is a rare and profound book that delivers more than a correspondent’s account of a place. It is a seminal examination of the Mekong and its people, a testament to the their struggles, their defeats and their victories.
