Austen, Jane. Sense And Sensibility
Résumé : Sometimes the Dashwood girls do not seem like sisters. Elinor is all calmness and reason,
and can be relied upon for practical, common sense opinions. Marianne, on the other hand, is all

middle-aged men of thirty-five, long past the age of marriage. True love can only be felt by the
young, of course. And if your heart is broken at the age of seventeen, how can you expect ever to
recover from the passionate misery that fills your life, waking and sleeping?

Beah, ishmael. A long way home : memoirs of a boy soldier
Harper perennial, 2007. 1 vol. (229-20 p.) : couv. ill. en coul. ; 20 cm. La couv. porte en plus : The true
story of a child soldier". ISBN 978-2-00-724709-7
Résumé : The first-person account of a 26-year-old who fought in the war in Sierra Leone as a 12year-old boy. 'My new friends have begun to suspect that I haven't told them the full story of my life.
"Why did you leave Sierra Leone?" "Because there is a war." "You mean, you saw people running
around with guns and shooting each other?" "Yes, all the time." "Cool." I smile a little. "You should
tell us about it sometime." "Yes, sometime."' This is how wars are fought now: by children, hoppedup on drugs and wielding AK-47s. There are more than fifty conflicts going on worldwide and it is
estimated there are some 300,000 child soldiers fighting. Ishmael Beah used to be one of them. What
is war like through the eyes of a child soldier? How does one become a killer? How does one stop?
Child soldiers have been profiled by journalists, and novelists have struggled to imagine their lives.
But until now, there has not been a first-person account from someone who came through this hell
and survived. Ishmael Beah, now twenty-five years old, tells a riveting story: how at the age of twelve
in Sierra Leone, he fled attacking rebels and wandered a land rendered unrecognizable by violence.
By thirteen, he'd been picked up by the government army, and Beah, at heart a gentle boy, found he
was capable of truly terrible acts. This is a rare and mesmerizing account, told with real literary force
and heartbreaking honesty.

Carroll, Lewis. Through the Looking Glass
Résumé : Grade 3-5-An abridgement of the classic story that makes it more accessible to young
readers, while giving them a good taste of the original. Ross treats his material reverently, abridging
Carroll's chattiness, but seldom changing his words. The full-color cartoons are unmistakably Ross's,
but they stick closely to the composition and content of Tenniel's original black-and-white drawings,
with some additional pictures (the nonsense of the last banquet, for instance, proves irresistible).
This version has a modern air with the slightly oversized pages and sly, humorous artwork that fits
the illogical craziness of the story surprisingly well. This con-artist Walrus is unforgettable, and the
empty oyster shells with feet sticking straight up in the air are most memorable. Although one may
occasionally miss the flowing, stream-of-consciousness style of Carroll or Tenniel's quintessential
Tweedledee and Tweedledum, certainly Ross has done an admirable job of preserving the spirit of
the masterpiece for the younger set.

appears to be a golden existence endowed with all the necessary possessions for a 'Man of Property'
but beneath this very proper exterior lies a core of unhappiness and brutal relationships. When The

masterful visual telling of the Forsyte family's troubled story and adapted its activities to suit the next
transmission. The Forsyte Saga comprising The Man of Property, In Chancery and To Let, is here
produced by Wordsworth for the first time in a single volume.

'Hummingbird' in big letters on all her clothes, but she has never seen a real hummingbird. She has

Godwin, William / Hindle, Maurice. Things as they are, or, the adventures of Caleb Williams
London : Penguin Books, 2007. 1 vol. (lxv-384 p.) : couv. ill. en coul. ; 20 cm. Penguin classics. Titre de
couv. : "Caleb Williams". ISBN 978-0-14-144123-8
Résumé : When honest young Caleb Williams comes to work as a secretary for Squire Falkland, he
soon begins to suspect that his new master is hiding a terrible secret. But as he digs deeper into
Falkland's past and finally unearths the guilty truth, the results of his curiosity prove calamitous when
- even though Caleb has loyally sworn never to disclose what he has discovered - the Squire enacts a
cruel revenge. A tale of gripping suspense and psychological power, William Godwin's novel creates a
searing depiction of the intolerable persecution meted out to a good man in pursuit of justice and
equality. Written to expose the political oppression and corrupt hierarchies its author saw in the
world around him, Caleb Williams (1794) makes a radical call to end the tyrannical misuses of power.

Lodge, David. Author! Author!
London : Penguin Books, 2005. 288 p./ 13x2x20 cm. ISBN 0141018224
Résumé : Lodge's (Thinks) meticulously researched but disappointingly tepid "docu-novel" opens in
1915, with Henry James on his death bed, and quickly establishes the context of this take on the
great Anglo-American writer's life: James's conflicted jealousy about his friend George Du Maurier's
success with the now virtually forgotten novel Trilby, his chaste relationship with the American
novelist Constance Fenimore Woolsey, and the fateful evening of January 5, 1895, when his play Guy
Domville premiered in London and James was humiliated by the booing from the cheap seats. Why
does a man who believes that the theater was noteworthy for "its vulgarity and aesthetic crudity"
aspire to be a playwright? For the banal reason that "it was for an author the shortest road to fame
and fortune." It may be Lodge's point that James sublimated his desires for love or sex into a longing
for acclaim and wealth, but the James of this novel—the second this year to deal with his theatrical
career, after Colm Tóibín's The Master—is petty, priggish and egocentric in the extreme (his reaction
to the apparent suicide of Woolsey: "what he really dreaded was finding some evidence that she had
done it on account of him"). Even if this portrayal is accurate—and given the author's scholarly
credentials, there's no reason to doubt it—it makes for a singularly undramatic story.

Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2002. 20X13 cm/ 80p. Stage 3. ISBN 019423018X
Résumé : If you wake up in the night and hear a tap running somewhere in the house, what do you
do? You get up, of course, and go and turn the tap off. A little later you hear the tap running again.
You are alone in the house, and you know you turned the tap off. What do you do then? The ghosts
in these stories all have unfinished business with the living world. They come back from the grave to
continue their work, to keep a promise, to look for something they have lost. Sometimes they want
to help people, sometimes they want to punish them - or kill them.

Résumé : All they could hear was the wind, and the waves crashing on to the rocks. All they could see
