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).Mots-clés : Bangkok Travel writing Index. décimale : 910 Géographie & Voyages Permalink : http://medialibrary.afthailande.org/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=29357 Bangkok Days [texte imprimé] / Lawrence Osborne, Auteur . - [S.l.] : Penguin Random House, [s.d.]. - (Vintage) .

Titre : The Inseparables Auteurs : Simone de Beauvoir, Auteur Editeur : Penguin Random House, 2022 Collection : Vintage Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Français (fre) Résumé : The lost novel from the author of The Second Sex
When Andrée joins her school, Sylvie is immediately fascinated. Andrée is small for her age, but walks with the confidence of an adult. The girls become close. They talk for hours about equality, justice, war and religion; they lose respect for their teachers; they build a world of their own. But as the girls grow into young women, the pressures of society mount, threatening everything.
This novel was never published in Simone de Beauvoir's lifetime. It tells the story of the real-life friendship that shaped one of the most important thinkers and feminists of the twentieth century.
'Slim, elegant, achingly tragic and unaffectedly lovely in its evocation of the closeness between girls - and the pressures that sunder them' SpectatorMots-clés : roman autobiographique nouvelle amitié amour LGBTQ+ Index. décimale : 843 Roman francophone Permalink : http://medialibrary.afthailande.org/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=30375 The Inseparables [texte imprimé] / Simone de Beauvoir, Auteur . - [S.l.] : Penguin Random House, 2022. - (Vintage) .

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.Mots-clés : Mekong South-East Asia Laos Cambodia Vietnam Luang Prabang Phnom Penh Can Tho Index. décimale : 959 Histoire de l'Asie du Sud-Est Genre : Asie du Sud-Est/Histoire/Récit de voyage/Voyage Permalink : http://medialibrary.afthailande.org/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=30507 The River's Tale : A Year on the Mekong [texte imprimé] / Edward A.
