En 2009, de retour d`Afghanistan où il a perdu plusieurs de ses hommes au cours d`une embuscade tendue par les talibans, le lieutenant Romain Roller souffre d`un syndrome de stress post-traumatique. Durant le sas de fin de mission qui a lieu sur l`île chypriote de Paphos, il a une liaison passionnée avec une jeune journaliste et romancière, Marion Decker. Il revoit également Osman Diboula, un ancien éducateur social, fils d`immigrés ivoiriens, qu`il a connu pendant son enfance à Clichy-sous-Bois, et devenu au lendemain des émeutes de 2005 une personnalité montante de la vie politique française. Le retour en France de Roller auprès de sa femme et de son fils se passe mal. Seule sa liaison avec Marion Decker parvient à le sortir de sa torpeur, jusqu`à ce qu`il apprenne qu`elle est mariée à l`un des plus grands chefs d`entreprise français, le flamboyant François Vély, fils d`un ancien ministre juif ayant participé à la résistance dans le maquis de l`Yonne. Grand patron de presse, François Vély est un homme d`influence. Mais à la veille d`une importante fusion avec une société américaine, il pose pour un magazine sur une oeuvre d`art représentant une femme noire et il est accusé de racisme. Son empire est ébranlé par ce scandale, qui inonde les réseaux sociaux. Osman Diboula va prendre sa défense, bien qu`il soit lui-même récemment tombé en disgrâce aux yeux du Président de la république, qui l`a écarté brutalement de ses proches conseillers. Le destin de ces trois hommes se trouve alors inextricablement lié.. Roman sur l`épreuve et les pièges de l`assignation identitaire, L`insouciance est également une réflexion sur la guerre politique, sociale, et les possibilités de la reconstruction. Ce récit puissant, remarquablement construit, aborde les questions d`actualité les plus brûlantes (racisme anti-noir, campagne de calomnie sur le net, terrorisme religieux) avec beaucoup d`intelligence et d`originalité. Les personnages se retrouvent confrontés à des passions ou des difficultés qui menacent de les emporter et traduisent ce sentiment d`insécurité qui marque désormais la fin d`une certaine insouciance dans notre pays. ····· 101763628

The Gargoyle Hunters: A novel

für 12.38€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Hilarious and poignant, The Gargoyle Hunters is a love letter to a vanishing city, and a deeply emotional story of fathers and sons. Intimately portraying New York`s elbow-jostling relationship with time, the novel solves the mystery of a brazen and seemingly impossible architectural heist-the theft of an entire historic Manhattan building-that stunned the city and made the front page of The New York Times in 1974. With both his family and his city fracturing, thirteen-year-old Griffin Watts is recruited into his estranged father`s illicit and dangerous architectural salvage business. Small and nimble, Griffin is charged with stealing exuberantly expressive nineteenth-century architectural sculptures-gargoyles-right off the faces of unsung tenements and iconic skyscrapers all over town. As his father explains it, these gargoyles, carved and cast by immigrant artisans during the city`s architectural glory days, are an endangered species in this era of sweeping urban renewal. Desperate both to connect with his father and to raise cash to pay the mortgage on the brownstone where he lives with his mother and sister, Griffin is slow to recognize that his father`s deepening obsession with preserving the architectural treasures of Beaux Arts New York is also a destructive force, imperiling Griffin`s friendships, his relationship with his very first girlfriend, and even his life. As his father grows increasingly possessive of both Griffin`s mother and his scavenged touchstones of the lost city, Griffin must learn how to build himself into the person he wants to become and discover which parts of his life can be salvaged-and which parts must be let go. Maybe loss, he reflects, is the only thing no one can ever take away from you. Tender, funny, and achingly sad, The Gargoyle Hunters introduces an extraordinary new novelist. ····· 101763608

And that`s exactly how Cilla McGowan wants it. Cilla, a former child star who has found more satisfying work as a restorer of old houses, has come to her grandmother`s farmhouse, tools at her side, to rescue it from ruin. Sadly, no one was able to save her grandmother, the legendary Janet Hardy. An actress with a tumultuous life, Janet entertained glamorous guests and engaged in decadent affairs-but died of an overdose in this very house more than thirty years earlier. To this day, Janet haunts Cilla`s dreams. And during waking hours, Cilla is haunted by her melodramatic, five-times-married mother, who carried on in the public spotlight and never gave her a chance at a normal childhood. By coming east, rolling up her sleeves, and rehabbing this wreck of a house, Cilla intends to find some kind of normalcy for herself. Plunging into the project with gusto, she`s almost too busy to notice her neighbor, graphic novelist Ford Sawyer-but his lanky form, green eyes, and easy, unflappable humor (not to mention his delightfully ugly dog, Spock) are hard to ignore. Determined not to perpetuate the family tradition of ill-fated romances, Cilla steels herself against Ford`s quirky charm, but she can`t help indulging in a little fantasy. But love and a peaceful life may not be in the cards for Cilla. In the attic, she has found a cache of unsigned letters suggesting that Janet Hardy was pregnant when she died-and that the father was a local married man. Cilla can`t help but wonder what really happened all those years ago. The mystery only deepens with a series of intimidating acts and a frightening, violent assault. And if Cilla and Ford are unable to sort out who is targeting her and why, she may-like her world-famous grandmother- be cut down in the prime of her life. ····· 101763523

But Duquet, crafty and ruthless, runs away from the seigneur, becomes a fur trader, then sets up a timber business. Proulx tells the stories of the descendants of Sel and Duquet over three hundred years - their travels across North America, to Europe, China, and New Zealand, under stunningly brutal conditions the revenge of rivals accidents pestilence Indian attacks and cultural annihilation. Over and over again, they seize what they can of a presumed infinite resource, leaving the modern-day characters face to face with possible ecological collapse.Proulx`s inimitable genius is her creation of characters who are so vivid - in their greed, lust, vengefulness, or their simple compassion and hope - that we follow them with fierce attention.
