La Chute Albert Camus 1971, Folio, 156 pages
ISBN-10: 2070360105 ISBN-13: 978-2070360109
«Sur le pont, je passai derrière une forme penchée sur le parapet, et qui semblait regarder le fleuve. De plus près, je distinguai une mince jeune femme, habillée de noir. Entre les cheveux sombres et le col du manteau, on voyait seulement une nuque, fraîche et mouillée, à laquelle je fus sensible. Mais je poursuivis ma route, après une hésitation. [...] J'avais déjà parcouru une cinquantaine de mètres à peu près, lorsque j'entendis le bruit, qui, malgré la distance, me parut formidable dans le silence nocturne, d'un corps qui s'abat sur l'eau. Je m'arrêtai net, mais sans me retourner. Presque aussitôt, j'entendis un cri, plusieurs fois répété, qui descendait lui aussi le fleuve, puis s'éteignit brusquement.»
Ubik Philip K. Dick 2012, Phoenix, 208 pages
ISBN: 9781780220376
Glen Runciter runs a lucrative business—deploying his teams of anti-psychics to corporate clients who want privacy and security from psychic spies. But when he and his top team are ambushed by a rival, he is gravely injured and placed in “half-life,” a dreamlike state of suspended animation. Soon, though, the surviving members of the team begin experiencing some strange phenomena, such as Runciter’s face appearing on coins and the world seeming to move backward in time. As consumables deteriorate and technology gets ever more primitive, the group needs to find out what is causing the shifts and what a mysterious product called Ubik has to do with it all.
La Logeuse Fiodor Dostoievski 1996, Actes Sud, 140 pages
ISBN 13: 9782742702671 ISBN 10: 2742702679
Le héros de ce récit de jeunesse (1847) tombe amoureux d’une jeune femme mariée à un vieillard – la logeuse de l’appartement dans lequel il vient de trouver une chambre. Si son intrusion constitue une crise dans la vie du couple étrange, nul ne saura jamais pourtant quel lien les unit, quelle folie ou quelle affection mortifère. Car telles sont la force et la modernité de ce récit que de rester ouvert, de ne donner aucune clé à l’inévitable éviction du protagoniste.

Our true origins are not just human, or even terrestrial, but in fact cosmic. Drawing on recent scientific breakthroughs and the current cross-pollination among geology, biology, astrophysics, and cosmology, ?Origins? explains the soul-stirring leaps in our understanding of the cosmos. From the first image of a galaxy birth to Spirit Rover's exploration of Mars, to the discovery of water on one of Jupiter's moons, coauthors Neil deGrasse Tyson and Donald Goldsmith conduct a galvanizing tour of the cosmos with clarity and exuberance.

Loyal readers of the monthly "Universe" essays in Natural History magazine have long recognized Neil deGrasse Tyson's talent for guiding them through the mysteries of the cosmos with clarity and enthusiasm. Bringing together more than forty of Tyson's favorite essays, ?Death by Black Hole? explores a myriad of cosmic topics, from what it would be like to be inside a black hole to the movie industry's feeble efforts to get its night skies right. One of America's best-known astrophysicists, Tyson is a natural teacher who simplifies the complexities of astrophysics while sharing his infectious fascination for our universe.
Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said Philip K. Dick 2012, Phoenix, 256 pages
ISBN 13: 9781780220413 ISBN 10: 1780220413
On October 11 the television star Jason Taverner is so famous that 30 million viewers eagerly watch his prime-time show. On October 12 Jason Taverner is not a has-been but a never-was -- a man who has lost not only his audience but all proof of his existence. And in the claustrophobic betrayal state of Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said, loss of proof is synonyms with loss of life. Taverner races to solve the riddle of his disappearance", immerses us in a horribly plausible Philip K. Dick United States in which everyone -- from a waiflike forger of identity cards to a surgically altered pleasure -- informs on everyone else, a world in which omniscient police have something to hide. His bleakly beautiful novel bores into the deepest bedrock self and plants a stick of dynamite at its center.
Le Miroir qui revient Alain Robbe-Grillet 1984, Minuit, 231 pages
ISBN-10: 2707310077 ISBN-13: 978-2707310071
Ce livre d'Alain Robbe-Grillet est fort différent de tout ce qu'il a publié jusqu'ici. Sans doute parce que ce n'est pas un roman. Mais, est-ce vraiment une autobiographie ? On sait que le langage du roman n'est pas celui que l'écrivain utilise pour la communication courante. Comme c'est ici l'homme Robbe-Grillet qui parle (de lui-même romancier, de lui-même enfant, etc.…), son écriture paraîtra certes moins austère, moins “ difficile ” que ce à quoi il nous a habitués. Pourtant, le tissage aventureux des fragments empruntés aux terreurs ou plaisirs érotiques du petit garçon, à la pittoresque chronique du clan familial, aux chocs causés par la guerre ou par la découverte de l'horreur nazie dans ces milieux d'extrême droite, tout cet entrelacements de petits riens, d'imagerie douce, de lacunes et d'événements trop immenses, amènera plus d'une fois le lecteur charmé, comme malgré lui, à identifier le fonctionnement incertain de sa propre existence à celui, justement, de toute la littérature moderne.
