Les Nouvelles Aventures de Jeff Peters

Autore: O. Henry

Numero di pagine: 96

Jeff Peters, «sympathique» cambrioleur, et ses amis, vont chercher l'argent où il y a un surplus. Jeff professe la combine illégitime avec bonhomie et cérébralité. La veuve et l'orphelin n'ont rien à craindre de lui. C'est un réducteur de superflu... Non seulement l'humour de O.Henry ne se démode pas mais il reste toujours inattendu. et toutes les nouvelles qui les accompagnent, lui permettent, à partir de situations étranges, de ponctuer chaque histoire d'un de ces coups de théâtre dont il avait le secret. Si, pour la rapidité d'écriture, O.Henry était comparé au russe Anton Tchekhov, l'énergie, tout comme le ton humoristique qui imprègnent ses textes trahissent l'influence des deux grands auteurs américains que sont Mark Twain et Ambrose Bierce.

Numero di pagine: 338

Elma Clifford s'est retrouvée poussée, au hasard, au tout dernier moment, dans le dernier compartiment de la dernière voiture du train - seule - avec un artiste. Maintenant, vous et moi, bien sûr, le lecteur le plus proverbialement courtois et intelligent, n'aurions peut-être jamais deviné à première vue, de l'aspect extérieur du jeune homme, la nature de son occupation. Mais elle l'a immédiatement reconnu pour ce qu'il était, et elle avait raison, et son nom était Cyril Waring. Il était l'amour de sa vie. Même dans ce premier instant, Elma le savait probablement. Le problème, c'était que cela semblait être une vie courte. Avant que le train n'atteigne sa prochaine gare, un tunnel dans lequel il voyageait s'est effondré sur eux. . . . Tout d'un coup une secousse rapide de la voiture a tiré leur train à l'improviste. Elma était consciente d'un bruit fort et d'un fracas devant, suivi presque instantanément d'un bocal palpitant - un bruit sourd sourd - un bruit de verre brisé - un arrêt rapide et blanc. L'instant d'après, elle se trouva follement jetée dans les bras de sa voisine, tandis que l'artiste, de son côté, les mains tendues, s'efforçait en vain...

Better to Have Gone

Autore: Akash Kapur

Numero di pagine: 384

It’s the late 1960s, and two lovers converge on an arid patch of earth in South India. John Walker is the handsome scion of a powerful East Coast American family. Diane Maes is a beautiful hippie from Belgium. They have come to build a new world—Auroville, an international utopian community for thousands of people. Their faith is strong, the future bright. So how do John and Diane end up dying two decades later, on the same day, on a cracked concrete floor in a thatch hut by a remote canyon? This is the mystery Akash Kapur sets out to solve in Better to Have Gone, and it carries deep personal resonance: Diane and John were the parents of Akash’s wife, Auralice. Akash and Auralice grew up in Auroville; like the rest of their community, they never really understood those deaths. In 2004, Akash and Auralice return to Auroville from New York, where they have been living with John’s family. As they reestablish themselves in the community, along with their two sons, they must confront the ghosts of those distant deaths. Slowly, they come to understand how the tragic individual fates of John and Diane intersected with the collective history of their town. --

Change of Course

Autore: John Simpson

Numero di pagine: 286

Blood. It's everywhere. Rocks, fist-sized and larger, scatter the area: many are bloody. There's a body: a man's. He's on his back. His head is a mess. A woman leans over him. She feels his neck. Her shoulders are heaving; she's sobbing. Several men are standing around, milling aimlessly; they don't know what to do. It is reported in the British press as a tragic accident in Angola. This story suits the majority of those present, until Sophie Addison turns up. What is her interest and why has it taken thirty years for anyone to question what happened? But one thing is clear to all who meet Sophie, and that is who she is. She cannot be ignored. How and why did James Lodge die on that dusty mine road thirty years ago? These questions had either been forgotten or buried by all those involved.

The Saint of the Speedway

Autore: Ridgwell Cullum

Numero di pagine: 254

It was a time of tense emotion. Each was a surge with an almost uncontrollable excitement as the two men moved up the whole length of the riffled sluice. Neither uttered one single word. But they moved slowly on either side of the long, primitive, box-like construction, keeping pace, each with the other, as though in a mutual desire that such fortune as was theirs should be witnessed together, as though neither had courage to face alone the possibilities of this their first serious "washing." At each riffle the men paused. The more emotional of the two, Len Stern, thrust out a hand and stirred the deposit lying there. And at each stirring, the same result was revealed. The riffles were filled with deposits. On the top was a spread of lighter soil, with here and there a dull yellow protrusion thrusting above it. But under this lay a solid thickness of pure alluvial gold in dust and smaller nuggets. From the top end of the sluice-box to the mouth which disgorged the red soil upon the miniature mountain of tailings below it, it was the same. There was not one single riffle that was not laden to its capacity with the precious metal. They came to a halt at the head of the box. Len...

The Lost Necklace

Autore: Kuljit Mann

Numero di pagine: 164

We all want our society to be beautiful. Right thinking and a positive attitude can help. I think that some right words may come to me to address you with love and respect. Words are essential to address a friend. Traditional names will be like paper flowers. The tradition is good, but it has to be renewed in time. Are we the ones to be copied to a clipboard? Can anyone paste us anywhere? I reject any clip. You are also involved in my denial. The person is divided into thoughts. These thoughts sometimes deceive us and sometimes block our path, and we inadvertently do something detrimental. This loss is not one’s own, but for the entire society. Perhaps this is what is called experience. It is essential to realize what is happening around us. It is not enough to be busy with established tunes these days. Whether we care about society or not, this is our thinking, but the community should care about us. Growing flowers and buying flowers are two different things. It is a human tradition to love. Understand sorrows, and prepare oneself to deal with that sorrows, no matter what would be our country. My words are a gift to you. A gift is not a product but a feeling, so its value...

Newspaper Shreds

Autore: Erian A. Baskharone, Ph.d., P.e.

Numero di pagine: 330

Seven thousand miles is the distance between Cairo, Egypt and the U.S. east coast, and I have been exposed to the worst kind of abuse on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. “Newspaper Shreds,” spread on my late mother’s bed, on her “honeymoon” signaled to my late father that my mother’s pregnancy with me was a result of adultery. Being convinced of a child’s illegitimacy by a non-Arab husband wouldn’t be such a “great deal,” but to an Egyptian (particularly Christian) husband , the consequences are no less than a disaster, a lifetime disaster to both the wife and the child. On the late morning of August 17, 2008, I determined for myself that I have always been my father’s legitimate son. My story may be an indictment of the culture in which I was born and raised, and of my own father’s treatment of my mother and myself. However, it is important to me, just like anything in my life, that I tell the Truth: “I have loved my father a whole lot more than I cared for life itself. My story spans more than six decades of witnessing the terrible treatment of women both in Egypt as well as the United States. The novel also displays the disastrous effects that those...

The Unknown Errors of Our Lives

Autore: Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni

Numero di pagine: 288

In nine poignant stories spiked with humor and intelligence, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni captures lives at crossroad moments–caught between past and present, home and abroad, tradition and fresh experience. A widow in California, recently arrived from India, struggles to adapt to a world in which neighbors are strangers and her domestic skills are deemed superfluous in the award-winning “Mrs. Dutta Writes a Letter.” In “The Intelligence of Wild Things,” a woman from Sacramento visits her brother in Vermont to inform him that back in Calcutta their mother is dying. And in the title story, a painter looks to ancient myth and the example of her grandmother for help in navigating her first real crisis of faith. Knowing, compassionate and expertly rendered, the stories in The Unknown Errors of Our Lives depict the eternal struggle to find a balance between the pull of home and the allure of change.

Kairos Clock

Autore: Arnie Exel

Numero di pagine: 412

There are two types of time; Chronos time and Kairos time. Chronos time, as in chronology, is that which we recognize; a man-made measurement of time divided into segments, like those on a clock's face; hours, minutes and seconds. Kairos time is measured in significant life events; they may manifest as being man-made but are not. Kairos time is not divided into segments and can be life-changing. For Petty and Cross, their future Kairos moments became particularly significant, the day they crossed paths with young Lucy Carlos. Sarge's methods of policing are of the old school. When he seeks retribution for victims of crime, many Kairos clocks start ticking. Is he the saviour of society or an instrument of Kairos? Or are there other unseen forces at work? What's really going on? Life is a journey through time and events, (Chronos and Kairos), that we all must travel in order to reach where we are destined. The past shapes the present, the future and ultimately our destiny. This journey begins decades ago when John is a young police officer. As time goes by he becomes known as Sarge, a man disillusioned by society and justice. Subtle clues and plot points are left along the way;...
