Lessing Doris La terroriste
LGF 225314083X / 9782253140832 MASS MARKET PAPERBACK Good
225314083X Quatri?me de couverture nC'est par amour qu'Alice s'est jointe ? une bande de paum?s de la banlieue de Londres, qui r?vent de la r?volution en squattant des maisons abandonn?es. Comme eux, elle esp?re l'explosion de violence qui abattra la ? bourgeoisie ? d?test?e... Du moins le croit-elle. En attendant, elle s'emploie ? transformer en home coquet le plus pourri des squatts, fait la cuisine pour toute la troupe, r?alisant sans le savoir ses vrais d?sirs de famille, de bonheur paisible, de s?curit? affective. Rien n'est plus humain que de se tromper sur soi-m?me, sur ce que l'on est vraiment. Autour de ce th?me d?risoire et parfois tragique, la romanci?re de Descente aux enfers nous donne de l'esprit terroriste, avec son d?sarroi, son vide m?taphysique et aussi la l?gitimit? de la r?volte qui le fonde, une analyse toute de finesse et de compassion, sans la moindre ambigu?t? pourtant.

Doris May Lessing The Temptation of Jack Orkney: Vol.2 (Collected stories of Doris Lessing)
Triad Books 0586045937 / 9780586045930 PAPERBACK Fair
0586045937 Editorial Reviews n nReview n'What do you say about Doris Lessing? She has shaped the attitudes of a whole generation of women; she has defined and punctured masculine pretensions and has torn strips off liberal double-think. This collection is, it goes without saying, a classic.' Mary Hope, Spectator 'Intense and tender, valuable and drily humorous stories with streaks of gold. Dazzling.' The Times 'Doris Lessing is the great novelist of the unspoken thing, of the part a husband and wife cannot tell each other, of the little things that people are reluctant to talk about. She seems to know everything and to forgive it, or, in the overview, to see nothing to forgive. Her work is suffused with a calm charity that reassures, heals and encourages.' Diane Johnson, New York Times --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. n nProduct Description nFrom Doris Lessing, Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, one of her finest collections of short stories. Doris Lessing is unrivalled in her ability to capture the truth from the complexities of relationships and the stories in this wonderful collection have lost none of their original power. Two marriages, both middle class, liberal and 'rather literary', share a shocking flaw, a secret 'cancer'. A young, beautiful woman from a working class family is courted by a very eligible, very upmarket man. An ageing actress falls in love for the first time but can only express her feelings through her stage performances because her happily married lover is unobtainable. A dedicated, lifelong rationalist is tempted, after the death of his father, by the comforts of religious belief. In this magnificent collection of stories, which spans four decades, Doris Lessing's unique gift for observation, her wit, her compassion and remarkable ability to illuminate the complexities of human life are all remarkably displayed. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
