"WHAT WAS LOST WILL BE FOUND...Washington DC: Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned at the last minute to deliver an evening lecture in the Capitol Building. Within moments of his arrival, however, a disturbing object - gruesomely encoded with five symbols - is discovered at the epicentre of the Rotunda. It is, he recognises, an ancient invitation, meant to beckon its recipient towards a long-lost world of hidden esoteric wisdom. When Langdon's revered mentor, Peter Solomon - philanthropist and prominent mason - is brutally kidnapped, Langdon realizes that his only hope of saving his friend's life is to accept this mysterious summons and follow wherever it leads him. Langdon finds himself quickly swept behind the facade of America's most historic city into the unseen chambers, temples and tunnels which exist there. All that was familiar is transformed into a shadowy, clandestine world of an artfully concealed past in which Masonic secrets and never-before-seen revelations seem to be leading him to a single impossible and inconceivable truth. A brilliantly composed tapestry of veiled histories, arcane icons and enigmatic codes, The Lost Symbol is an intelligent, lightning-paced thriller that offers surprises at every turn. For, as Robert Langdon will discover, there is nothing more extraordinary or shocking than the secret which hides in plain sight..." --Publisher.

Fall of Giants

Ken Follett

This is an epic of love, hatred, war and revolution. This is a huge novel that follows five families through the world-shaking dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for votes for women. It is 1911. The Coronation Day of King George Williams, a Welsh coal-mining family, is linked by romance and enmity to the Fitzherberts, aristocratic coal-mine owners. Lady Maud Fitzherbert falls in love with Walter von Ulrich, a spy at the German Embassy in London. Their destiny is entangled with that of an ambitious young aide to President Woodrow Wilson and to two orphaned Russian brothers, whose plans to emigrate to America fall foul of war, conscription and revolution. In a plot of unfolding drama and intriguing complexity, "Fall Of Giants" moves seamlessly from Washington to St Petersburg, from the dirt and danger of a coal mine to the glittering chandeliers of a palace, from the corridors of power to the bedrooms of the mighty.

Dalida, une vie brûlée (ARCHIPEL.ARCHIP) (French Edition)

Bernard Pascuito

Elle a mis de l?ordre dans la maison. Elle a revêtu un déshabillé de soie blanche. Elle a pris soin d?avaler par petites poignées les pilules? Puis elle a tracé quelques mots sur un carton blanc : " La vie m?est insupportable. Pardonnez-moi. " Ainsi nous quittait Dalida, star de lumière secrètement hantée par l?obscurité. C?était le 3 mai 1987, il y a vingt ans. Nul ne l?a oubliée. Rien que des larmes, encore des larmes, toujours des larmes? Bernard Pascuito retrace avec émotion le destin à la fois merveilleux et tragique de cette chanteuse qui a conquis les foules et dont les mélodies nous bercent encore. Une artiste comblée, adorée par ses proches, mais aussi une femme solitaire. Trois de ses compagnons s?étant suicidé, elle avait fini par croire qu?elle portait malheur. Et souffrait plus que tout de n?avoir pas d?enfant. Longtemps, sous les paillettes, elle put dissimuler les pleurs. Mais c?est si fatiguant, de faire semblant d?être heureuse? Dans cet ouvrage, édition revue et augmentée de nouveaux témoignages sur Dalida de Les larmes de la gloire (Michel Lafon, 1987), Bernard Pascuito, qui l?a bien connue, donne à découvrir la femme derrière l?artiste.

The Looking Glass War

John le Carré

THE FOURTH GEORGE SMILEY NOVELWhen the Department - faded since the war and busy only with bureaucratic battles - hears rumours of a missile base near the West German border, it seems the perfect opportunity to regain some standing in the Intelligence world. Desperate for glory and determined to outdo their rivals at the Circus, including George Smiley, they send deactivated agent Fred Leiser back into East Germany, armed only with some schoolboy training and his memories of the war. In the land of eloquent silence that is Communist East Germany, Leiser's fate is no longer his own.Showing men carried away by fear and pride, The Looking Glass War is a powerful, moving story of human frailty.
