Comment se fait-il que les hommes combattent pour leur servitude comme s'il s'agissait de leur salut ? Cette question, qui sera reprise par Spinoza et réactualisée par la domination totalitaire, est au cœur du Discours de la servitude volontaire de La Boétie. Loin d'être un pamphlet d'inspiration libérale et démocratique, comme l'a cru à tort la postérité, ce livre reste à découvrir ; Pierre Clastres et Claude Lefort s'efforcent ici d'arracher La Boétie à la méconnaissance. N'est-il pas le grand antagoniste à la hauteur de Machiavel ? Comme si leurs deux noms symbolisaient le paradoxe du politique : Machiavel pensait le pouvoir avec la liberté ; La Boétie pensait le pouvoir contre la liberté. Publié en 1576, le Discours de la servitude volontaire est l’œuvre d'un jeune auteur de dix-huit-ans. Ce texte (ô combien actuel !) analyse les rapports maître-esclave qui régissent le monde et reposent sur la peur, la complaisance, la flagornerie et l'humiliation de soi-même. Leçon politique mais aussi leçon éthique et morale, La Boétie nous invite à la révolte contre toute oppression, toute exploitation, toute corruption, bref contre l'armature même du pouvoir.

From the award-winning author of The Twisted Ones comes a gripping and atmospheric retelling of Edgar Allan Poe's classic "The Fall of the House of Usher." When Alex Easton, a retired soldier, receives word that their childhood friend Madeline Usher is dying, they race to the ancestral home of the Ushers in the remote countryside of Ruravia. What they find there is a nightmare of fungal growths and possessed wildlife, surrounding a dark, pulsing lake. Madeline sleepwalks and speaks in strange voices at night, and her brother Roderick is consumed with a mysterious malady of the nerves. Aided by a redoubtable British mycologist and a baffled American doctor, Alex must unravel the secret of the House of Usher before it consumes them all.

Beautiful, flirtatious, and recently widowed, Lady Susan Vernon seeks an advantageous second marriage for herself, while attempting to push her daughter into a dismal match. A magnificently crafted novel of Regency manners and mores that will delight Austen enthusiasts with its wit and elegant expression.

The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald's third book, stands as the supreme achievement of his career. This exemplary novel of the Jazz Age has been acclaimed by generations of readers. The story of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan, of lavish parties on Long Island at a time when The New York Times noted "gin was the national drink and sex the national obsession," it is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s. The Great Gatsby is one of the great classics of twentieth-century literature. (from the back cover)
