A thrilling and long-awaited new novel from globally bestselling author Dan Brown Accompanying celebrated academic, Katherine Solomon, to a lecture shes been invited to give in Prague, Robert Langdons world spirals out of control when she disappears without trace from their hotel room. Far from home and well out of his comfort zone, Langdon must pit his wits against forces unknown to recover the woman he loves. But Prague is an old and dangerous city, steeped in folklore and mystery. For over two thousand years, the tides of history have washed back and forth over it, leaving behind echoes of everything that has gone before. Little can Langdon know that he is being stalked by a spectre from that dark past. He must use all of his arcane knowledge to decipher the world around him before he too is consumed by the rings of treachery and deception that have swallowed Katherine. Against a backdrop of vast castles, towering churches, graveyards buried twelve deep and labyrinthine underground passages, Langdon must navigate a shadow city hiding in plain sight, a city which has successfully kept its secrets for centuries and will not readily deliver them. This is a battlefield unlike any he has previously experienced, one on which he must fight not for his only life, but for the future of humanity itself. The Secret Of Secrets is Dan Browns first novel for over eight years and sees the stunning return of Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon, this time pitting his wits against a conspiracy which will test even his considerable brainpower and take him to the edge of losing all that he holds dear

In love we find out who we want to be.In war we find out who we are.FRANCE, 1939In the quiet village of Carriveau, Vianne Mauriac says goodbye to her husband, Antoine, as he heads for the Front. She doesnt believe that the Nazis will invade France...but invade they do, in droves of marching soldiers, in caravans of trucks and tanks, in planes that fill the skies and drop bombs upon the innocent. When a German captain requisitions Viannes home, she and her daughter must live with the enemy or lose everything. Without food or money or hope, as danger escalates all around them, she is forced to make one impossible choice after another to keep her family alive.Viannes sister, Isabelle, is a rebellious eighteen-year-old girl, searching for purpose with all the reckless passion of youth. While thousands of Parisians march into the unknown terrors of war, she meets Gaetan, a partisan who believes the French can fight the Nazis from within France, and she falls in love as only the young can...completely. But when he betrays her, Isabelle joins the Resistance and never looks back, risking her life time and again to save others.With courage, grace and powerful insight, bestselling author Kristin Hannah captures the epic panorama of WWII and illuminates an intimate part of history seldom seen: the womens war. The Nightingale tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France--a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women. It is a novel for everyone, a novel for a lifetime.

Inspiré de la courte vie d'Hamnet, le fils oublié de William Shakespeare, ce roman est une bouleversante méditation sur la famille, l'amour et le deuil. Un jour d'été 1596, dans la campagne anglaise, une petite fille tombe gravement malade. Son frere jumeau, Hamnet, part chercher de l'aide car aucun de leurs parents n'est a la maison... Agnes, leur mere, n'est pourtant pas loin, en train de cueillir des herbes medicinales dans les champs alentour ; leur pere est a Londres pour son travail. Tous deux sont inconscients de cette maladie, de cette ombre qui plane sur leur famille et menace de tout engloutir. Porte par une ecriture d'une beaute inouie, ce nouveau roman de Maggie O'Farrell est la bouleversante histoire d'un frere et d'une soeur unis par un lien indefectible, celle d'un couple atypique marque par un deuil impossible. C'est aussi celle d'une maladie " pestilentielle " qui se diffuse sur tout le continent. Mais c'est avant tout une magnifique histoire d'amour et le tendre portrait d'un petit garçon oublie par l'Histoire, qui inspira pourtant a son pere, William Shakespeare, sa piece la plus celebre. PRESSE : " [Maggie O'Farrell] ecrit en palpant la douleur, en l'agrippant des deux mains. Son livre sent fort la puanteur et les larmes des endeuilles pour offrir une lecture d'une puissante densite. " Telerama " Maggie O'Farrell excelle dans cette veine romanesque terriblement incarnee. " Le Figaro " L'art subtil de Maggie O'Farrell consiste a recreer la vie ordinaire tout en y infusant le poids du temps, la pesee du destin. Elle ne cherche pas a mimer la langue ou a reproduire l'atmosphere du XVIe siecle, elle les incarne pour toujours " Le Monde des livres.
