They were predicting storms for the end of the day but the sky stayed blue and the wind died down. I went to take a look in the kitchen - make sure things weren't getting clogged up in the bottom of the pot. Everything was just fine. I went out onto the porch armed with a cold beer and stayed there for a while, my face in the sun. It felt good. It had been a week now that I'd been spending my mornings in the sun, squinting like some happy idiot - a week now since I'd met Betty.' BETTY BLUE remains a cult book and film nearly twenty years since its first outing. The extraordinary story of an erotic, doomed love affair has transfixed hundreds of thousands of readers around the world.

The Story of a Passion : a Novel

Events spin seriously out of control after a college professor wakes up beside the dead body of one of his students in this intense, mesmerizing literary thriller from France’s #1 bestselling author. Events spin seriously out of control after a college professor wakes up beside the dead body of one of his students in this spare, existential literary thriller from France’s #1 bestselling author. In tight, evocative prose, Philippe Djian brings a buzzing urgency to this story set in a sleepy academic enclave in rural France, where Marc, a professor whose interest in women has filled the hole left by his failed literary ambi­tions, makes a habit of bringing home his most promising students for brief-but-pleasant affairs. One night Marc brings home his student Barbara, only to discover, to his horror, her lifeless body lying next to him the next day. Instead of calling the police, he disposes of her body in a remote gorge—a decision with consequences that catapult him into an ever-quickening spiral of suspicion and self-doubt. Consequences is a powerful introduction to one of France’s biggest stars, and, from the gripping opening mystery to its final riveting pages, it’s a story you won’t soon forget.

- Tu vois à quoi ça ressemble un entonnoir ? il a demandé. Comme je ne répondais pas, il en a dessiné un dans les airs. - Quand tu auras mon âge, tu seras arrivé dans le petit bout, il a enchaîné. Tu verras qu'il ne te reste plus beaucoup de possibilités. Depuis la mort de Betty, l'écrivain a le cœur malade. C'est l'infarctus et l'appel aux petites pilules. Malgré tout, sa ligne de vie s'accroche au fil de l'écriture. Le succès et le fric pointent le bout de leur nez, ce qui n'empêche pourtant pas sa vie de se compliquer ; imaginez seulement deux écrivains sous le même toit où les courants d'air ont le visage de deux femmes... Dans la continuité de 37°2 le matin, le manège infernal des âme seules se poursuit dans une fuite en avant fantasque et authentique.

37°2 le matin

Impardonnables

Elle is a psychological thriller that recounts thirty days in the life of its heroine Mich�le--powerfully portrayed by Isabelle Huppert in Paul Verhoeven's award-winning film--where memory, sex, and death collide at every page. A few weeks before Christmas, Mich�le picks herself up from her living room floor. She has been raped. She has almost no recollection of her attacker but she senses his presence--he is never far away--and this uncanny feeling triggers a whirlwind of events and memories. She begins to fear she is losing her grip on a life already complicated by a demanding job, an ex-husband with a new girlfriend, a jealous lover, and a son trapped in a relationship with his girlfriend pregnant by another man. Hardened by the consequences of her father's violent past, Mich�le--in her fifties, fiercely independent and unsentimental--refuses to be reduced to a victim. When her rapist begins taunting her with messages, she takes measures to protect herself until she discovers his identity... Through the bitingly sarcastic and unflinchingly realist voice of its heroine, Elle paints a striking portrait of one woman's experience that challenges our notions of masculinity and femininity, weakness and strength.

Une Fiat 500. Au volant, Marc. À côté de lui, sa plus jolie étudiante. C'est la nuit, ils foncent chez lui finir la soirée en beauté. Au petit matin, son goût prononcé pour les jeunes élèves de son cours d'écriture va soudain lui passer. À cause des routes de montagne? Du néo-conservatisme ambiant? Des crises de sa sœur? Ou plutôt du charme des femmes mariées? Marc ne saurait dire. Du moins, pour le moment...
