Piranesi’s house is no ordinary building: its rooms are infinite, its corridors endless, its walls are lined with thousands upon thousands of statues, each one different from all the others. Within the labyrinth of halls an ocean is imprisoned; waves thunder up staircases, rooms are flooded in an instant. But Piranesi is not afraid; he understands the tides as he understands the pattern of the labyrinth itself. He lives to explore the house. There is one other person in the house—a man called The Other, who visits Piranesi twice a week and asks for help with research into A Great and Secret Knowledge. But as Piranesi explores, evidence emerges of another person, and a terrible truth begins to unravel, revealing a world beyond the one Piranesi has always known.

In the early 1900s, teenaged Sunja, the adored daughter of a crippled fisherman, falls for a wealthy stranger at the seashore near her home in Korea. He promises her the world, but when she discovers she is pregnant—and that her lover is married—she refuses to be bought. Instead, she accepts an offer of marriage from a gentle, sickly minister passing through on his way to Japan. But her decision to abandon her home, and to reject her son's powerful father, sets off a dramatic saga that will echo down through the generations. Richly told and profoundly moving, Pachinko is a story of love, sacrifice, ambition, and loyalty. From bustling street markets to the halls of Japan's finest universities to the pachinko parlors of the criminal underworld, Lee's complex and passionate characters—strong, stubborn women, devoted sisters and sons, fathers shaken by moral crisis—survive and thrive against the indifferent arc of history.

Dr. Henry Jekyll, fascinated by the dichotomy of good and evil, no longer wants to inhibit his dark side. He concocts a potion to create the alter ego of Mr. Edward Hyde. With the burden of evil placed on Hyde, Jekyll can now take pleasure in his immoral, nefarious fantasies - free of conscience and guilt. It’s when Hyde turns to murder that Jekyll realizes how monstrous his impulses are and how hard they are to suppress. Exploring the nature of shame, repression, desire, and control, Stevenson’s story has so endured that “a Jekyll and Hyde personality” has become part of our lexicon in understanding our own - sometimes involuntary - duality. AmazonClassics brings you timeless works from the masters of storytelling. Ideal for anyone who wants to read a great work for the first time or rediscover an old favorite, these new editions open the door to literature’s most unforgettable characters and beloved worlds.

C’est un endroit à l’abri du temps. Ce minuscule hameau, qu’on appelle Les Montées, est un pays à lui seul pour les jumelles Ambre et Aelis, et la vieille Rose. Ici, l’existence n’a jamais été douce. Les familles travaillent une terre avare qui appartient à d’autres, endurent en serrant les dents l’injustice. Mais c’est ainsi depuis toujours. Jusqu’au jour où surgit Madelaine. Une fillette affamée et sauvage, sortie des forêts. Adoptée par Les Montées, Madelaine les ravit, passionnée, courageuse, si vivante. Pourtant, il reste dans ses yeux cette petite flamme pas tout à fait droite. Une petite flamme qui fera un jour brûler le monde. Avec Madelaine avant l’aube, Sandrine Collette questionne l’ordre des choses, sonde l’instinct de révolte, et nous offre, servie par une écriture éblouissante, une ode aux liens familiaux.

"En quelques trimestres j'avais tourné casaque. Les Français m'évitaient, avertis par leurs parents des risques de mauvaise influence qu'ils couraient à me fréquenter. Pire, mes bulletins scolaires, ombre bien obscure, me qualifiaient de décadent et d'insolent. Devenu inapte à représenter ma classe, je laissai les professeurs m'achever lors du dernier conseil de l'année. On comparait mon apogée scolaire à la Renaissance ; un bon souvenir qui ne reviendrait jamais."Placé à l'Aide sociale à l'enfance dès son plus jeune âge, Skander est un garçon curieux de tout, passionné par la lecture. Mais son destin bascule lorsqu'il atterrit à Courseine, en banlieue parisienne, chez la redoutable Madame Khadija. Au collège, il est entraîné malgré lui par les jeunes du Grand Quartier, qui abolissent sa boussole morale. La rue devient son royaume, et l'éloigne chaque jour davantage de ses rêves d'enfant...Avec Les conditions idéales, Mokhtar Amoudi signe un roman d'apprentissage au charme irrésistible.

Dans ce village haut perché des montagnes valaisannes, tout se sait, et personne ne dit rien. Jeanne, la narratrice, apprend tôt à esquiver la brutalité perverse de son père. Un jour, pour une réponse péremptoire prononcée avec l’assurance de ses huit ans, il la tabasse. Convaincue que le médecin du village, appelé à son chevet, va mettre fin au cauchemar, elle est sidérée par son silence. Dès lors, la haine de son père et le dégoût face à tant de lâcheté vont servir de viatique à Jeanne. À l’École normale d’instituteurs de Sion, puis à Lausanne, la jeune femme, que le moindre bruit fait toujours sursauter, trouve enfin une forme d’apaisement. Le plaisir de nager dans le lac Léman est le seul qu’elle s’accorde. Habitée par sa rage d’oublier et de vivre, elle se laisse pourtant approcher par un cercle d’êtres bienveillants que sa sauvagerie n’effraie pas, s’essayant même à une vie amoureuse. Dans une langue âpre, syncopée, Sarah Jollien-Fardel dit avec force le prix à payer pour cette émancipation à marche forcée. Car le passé inlassablement s’invite.
