True History of the Kelly Gang
2.300,00 د.ج
'I lost my own father at 12 yrs of age and know what it is to be raised on lies and silences my dear daughter you are presently too young to understand a word I write but this history is for you and will contain no single lie may I burn in hell if I speak false.' In a dazzling act of ventriloquism, Peter Carey gives the Australian outlaw Ned Kelly a voice so wild, passionate and original that it is impossible not to believe that the famous bush ranger himself is speaking from beyond the grave. Carey gives us Ned Kelly as orphan, as Oedipus, as horse thief, farmer, bush ranger, reformer, bank-robber, police-killer and, finally, as his country's beloved Robin Hood. In 1878 Francis Harty, a poor farmer, said, 'Ned Kelly is the best bloody man that has ever been in Benalla, I would fight up to my knees in blood for him - I have known him for years, I would take his word sooner than another man's oath'. By the time of his hanging in 1880 a whole country would seem to agree - and it is a measure of Peter Carey's achievement that he has not only made art from his country's great story but that he persuades us all to understand the true measure of that 'best bloody man'.

Vaincre, en plein coeur de l'hiver et sans oxygène, le Nanga Parbat, cette montagne nue qui culmine au Pakistan à 8125 mètres, c'est l'exploit qu'ont réalisé en 2018 Élisabeth Revol et Tomasz Mackiewicz. Mais arrivé au sommet, Tomek est frappé de cécité. Dès lors, comment espérer survivre, quitter cette altitude extrême où l'oxygène se fait rare et où le froid et le vent sont si violents que le gel menace à tout instant ? Dans ce récit captivant, Élisabeth Revol met ses propres mots sur cette tragédie et l'extraordinaire opération de sauvetage dont le monde entier s'est fait l'écho. Elle affronte ses souvenirs, sa terreur, sa douleur immense, le déchirement d'avoir survécu, seule, en un hommage poignant à son ami Tomek.

About the Author Professeure de sport, Elisabeth Revol possède un impressionnant palmarès dans le monde de la montagne et de l'aventure. En 2008, elle devient la première femme au monde à enchaîner, en seize jours, 3 sommets de plus de 8000 mètres, sans porteur et sans oxygène.

L'expédition 2017-2018 sur le Nanga Parbat était la septième tentative pour Tomasz Mackiewicz, la quatrième pour elle, en hiver, soit dans des conditions extrêmes, mais aussi sans oxygène, sans porteurs, dans le plus pur style alpin.
Jane Eyre (Penguin Clothbound Classics)
3.910,00 د.ج
Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. Charlotte Brontë's first published novel, Jane Eyre was immediately recognised as a work of genius when it appeared in 1847. Orphaned into the household of her Aunt Reed at Gateshead, subject to the cruel regime at Lowood charity school, Jane Eyre nonetheless emerges unbroken in spirit and integrity. How she takes up the post of governess at Thornfield Hall, meets and loves Mr Rochester and discovers the impediment to their lawful marriage are elements in a story that transcends melodrama to portray a woman's passionate search for a wider and richer life than that traditionally accorded to her sex in Victorian society.
The Penguin English Library Sign of Four
1.840,00 د.ج
The Penguin English Library edition A dense yellow miasma swirls in the streets of London as Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson accompany a beautiful young woman to a sinister assignation. For Mary Marston has received several large pearls - one a year for the last six years - and now a mystery letter telling her she is a wronged woman. If she would seek justice she is to meet her unknown benefactor, bringing with her two companions. But unbeknownst to them all, others stalk London's fog-enshrouded streets: a one-legged ruffian with revenge on his mind - and his companion, who places no value on human life . . .
The Castle
1.400,00 د.ج
The Castle is the story of K., the unwanted Land Surveyor who is never to be admitted to the Castle nor accepted in the village, and yet cannot go home. As he encounters dualities of certainty and doubt, hope and fear, and reason and nonsense, K.'s struggles in the absurd, labyrinthine world where he finds himself seem to reveal an inexplicable truth about the nature of existence. Kafka began The Castle in 1922 and it was never finished, yet this, the last of his three great novels, draws fascinating conclusions that make it feel strangely complete.
