Cinquante-deux semaines : c’est le temps qu’il reste à Mona pour découvrir toute la beauté du monde. C’est le temps que s’est donné son grand-père, un homme érudit et fantasque, pour l’initier, chaque mercredi après l’école, à une œuvre d’art, avant qu’elle ne perde, peut-être pour toujours, l’usage de ses yeux. Ensemble, ils vont sillonner le Louvre, Orsay et Beaubourg. Ensemble, ils vont s’émerveiller, s’émouvoir, s’interroger, happés par le spectacle d’un tableau ou d’une sculpture. Empruntant les regards de Botticelli, Vermeer, Goya, Courbet, Claudel, Kahlo ou Basquiat, Mona découvre le pouvoir de l’art et apprend le don, le doute, la mélancolie ou la révolte, un précieux trésor que son grand-père souhaite inscrire en elle à jamais. Grand roman d’initiation à l’art et à la vie, histoire d’une relation solaire entre une petite fille et son grand-père, Les Yeux de Mona connaît un destin fabuleux : traduit dans plus de vingt pays avant même sa parution en France, c’est un phénomène international. Sélectionné pour le Grand Prix RTL-Lire Magazine Littéraire 2024.

Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. She may leave the home of the Commander and his wife once a day to walk to food markets whose signs are now pictures instead of words because women are no longer allowed to read. She must lie on her back once a month and pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, because in an age of declining births, Offred and the other Handmaids are valued only if their ovaries are viable. Offred can remember the years before, when she lived and made love with her husband, Luke; when she played with and protected her daughter; when she had a job, money of her own, and access to knowledge. But all of that is gone now… Funny, unexpected, horrifying, and altogether convincing, The Handmaid's Tale is at once scathing satire, dire warning, and tour de force.

Librarian's note: There is an Alternate Cover Edition for this edition of this book here. A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned –a razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible. When Animal Farm was first published, Stalinist Russia was seen as its target. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell’s masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh.
