Resumen del libro

A u début des années 1990, la narratrice est embauchée par Yumimoto, une puissante firme japonaise. Elle va découvrir à ses dépens l’implacable rigueur de l’autorité d’entreprise, en même temps que les codes de conduite, incompréhensibles au profane, qui gouvernent la vie sociale au pays du So leil levant. D’erreurs en maladresses et en échecs, commence alors pour elle, comme dans un mauvais rêve, la descente inexorable dans les degrés de la hiérarchie, jusqu’au rang de surveillante des toilettes, celui de l’humiliation dernière. Une course absurde vers l’abîme – image de la vie –, où l’humour percutant d’Amélie Nothomb fait mouche à chaque ligne. Entre le rire et l’angoisse, cette satire des nouveaux despotismes aux échos kafkaïens a conquis un immense public et valu à l’auteur d’ Hygiène de l’assassin le Grand Prix du roman de l’Académie française en 1999. ...

FALL OF GIANTS

SIGNET. PENGUIN PUTMAN, 2011

Resumen del libro

Ken Follett's World Without End was a global phenomenon, a work of grand historical sweep, beloved by millions of readers and acclaimed by critics. Fall of Giants is his magnificent new historical epic. The first novel in The Century Trilogy, it follows the fates of five interrelated familiesAmerican, German, Russian, Engli sh, and Welshas they move through the world-shaking dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for women's suffrage.Thirteen-year-old Billy Williams enters a man's world in the Welsh mining pits...Gus Dewar, an American law student rejected in love, finds a surprising new career in Woodrow Wilson's White House...two orphaned Russian brothers, Grigori and Lev Peshkov, embark on radically different paths half a world apart when their plan to emigrate to America falls afoul of war, conscription, and revolution...Billy's sister, Ethel, a housekeeper for the aristocratic Fitzherberts, takes a fateful step above her station, while Lady Maud Fitzherbert herself crosses deep into forbidden territory when she falls in love with Walter von Ulrich, a spy at the German embassy in London...These characters and many others find their lives inextricably entangled as, in a saga 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. As always with Ken Follett, the historical background is brilliantly researched and rendered, the action fast-moving, the characters rich in nuance and emotion. It is destined to be a new classic.In future volumes of The Century Trilogy, subsequent generations of the same families will travel through the great events of the rest of the twentieth century, changing themselves-and the century itself. With passion and the hand of a master, Follett brings us into a world we thought we knew, but now will never seem the same again. ... Leer resumen completo

Resumen del libro

Mikael Blomkvist è tornato vittorioso alla guida di Millennium, pronto a lanciare un numero speciale su un vasto traffico di prostituzione dai paesi dell'Est. L'inchiesta si preannuncia esplosiva: la denuncia riguarda un intero sistema di violenze e soprusi, e non risparmia poliziotti, giudici e politici, perfino esp onenti dei servizi segreti. Ma poco prima di andare in stampa, un triplice omicidio fa sospendere la pubblicazione, mentre si scatena una vera e propria caccia all'uomo: l'attenzione di polizia e media nazionali si concentra su Lisbeth Salander, la giovane hacker, "così impeccabilmente competente e al tempo stesso così socialmente irrecuperabile", ora principale sospettata. Blomkvist, incurante di quanto tutti sembrano credere, dà il via a un'indagine per accertare le responsabilità di Lisbeth, "la donna che odia gli uomini che odiano le donne". È lei la vera protagonista di questo nuovo episodio della Millennium Trilogy, un thriller serrato che all'intrigo diabolico unisce un'acuta descrizione della società moderna, con le sue contraddizioni e deviazioni, consegnandoci con Lisbeth Salander un personaggio femminile unico, commovente e indimenticabile. ...
