La GGH (du nom de son directeur George Gerald Hogg ) travaille \u00e0 une grande \u00e9chelle : assurances d'usines, d'immeubles, d'h\u00f4tels. La derni\u00e8re affaire qu'il a eu \u00e0 r\u00e9gler a \u00e9t\u00e9 tout b\u00e9n\u00e9fice : il a d\u00e9couvert son client, M. Dupree, fabricant de mannequins, pendu au milieu des d\u00e9combres de l'incendie de son usine. On a rang\u00e9 la mallette des indemnit\u00e9s, mais Lorimer a eu son bonus. Toute la technique de la compagnie est d'intimider le client, de d\u00e9clarer que le sinistre (incendie, indondation) est son oeuvre et de sous-estimer les d\u00e9g\u00e2ts. Le chantage va jusqu'\u00e0 ce que les clients battent en retraite et acceptent comptant un d\u00e9dommagement sans rapport avec la somme convenue.\r\nLorimer est romp u \u00e0 ces chantages qu'il prend pour du savoir-faire. Ils n'atteignent que des parvenus, avides d'argent, alors qu'il est un arriviste styl\u00e9. Lorimer avait tout fait pour oublier qu'il s'appelle Milomre Blocj et que sa famillle, modeste est d'origine roumaine et tzigane. Est-ce pour cela qu'il a de tels troubles du sommeil qu'il est oblig\u00e9 de fr\u00e9quenter l'Institut des r\u00eaves lucides et ne confie qu'\u00e0 son Livre de la Transfiguration sorte de journal, livre de raison, ses r\u00e9flexions, ses pens\u00e9es intimes, ses espoirs, ses d\u00e9sirs, souvenirs, en versets num\u00e9rot\u00e9s ?\r\nPourtant, lui qui se voit d\u00e9j\u00e0 le successeur de Hogg malgr\u00e9 la pr\u00e9sence d'un nouveau venu, Torquil Hevoir-Jayne, ne comprend pas qu'avec la construction de l'h\u00f4tel Fedora, sa compagnie, alli\u00e9e \u00e0 une filia le la Fortress Sure, a combin\u00e9 un coup \u00e9norme. Elle a sur\u00e9valu\u00e9 l'immeuble aupr\u00e8s des promoteurs (Gale-Harlequin), pour 80 millions de livres, mais les entrepreneurs, Edmund et Rintoul qui \u00e9taient en retard sur les d\u00e9lais pr\u00e9vus et affol\u00e9s de devoir payer un d\u00e9dommagement, ont mis le feu au sous-sol de l'h\u00f4tel, qui a br\u00fbl\u00e9 jusqu'au cinqui\u00e8me \u00e9tage : Lorimer a cru \u00e0 la bonne affaire de sa vie quand les promoteurs ont accept\u00e9 un d\u00e9dommagement d\u00e9risoire de 10 millions de livres qu'on leur offrait. Lorimer \u00e9tait tout content de son bonus. Mais il a fait un pas de trop, de son propre chef, il en a parl\u00e9 \u00e0 un journaliste financier du Times. Deux jours plus tard, le Financial Times annonce le rachat de Gale-Harlequin par un g\u00e9ant de l'immobilier avec tous les d\u00e9tails et les chiffres des transactions et des participants, une aubaine pour cette entreprise qui battait de l'aile et acceptait toutes les compromissions (avant de se r\u00e9tablir pour les d\u00e9noncer). Hogg a cru \u00e0 une magouille et a licenci\u00e9 Black pour d\u00e9lit d'initi\u00e9. Pour ne rien arranger, la soeur de M. Dupree l'accuse du suicide de son fr\u00e8re : il \u00e9tait obs\u00e9d\u00e9 par l'approche de sa visite. Lorimer voit sa carri\u00e8re s'effondrer comme un ch\u00e2teau de cartes. Le vaillant petit soldat est d\u00e9sarm\u00e9. Il n'a \u00e9t\u00e9 qu'un bouc \u00e9missaire m\u00eame si on lui laisse penser qu'on lui pardonnera.\r\nTrois \u00e9v\u00e9nements ponctuent cette p\u00e9riode de d\u00e9boires : la mort de son p\u00e8re, son lien le plus fort avec un pass\u00e9 refus\u00e9 et le symbole de sa trahison, celle de sa voisine, la charmante Lady Haigh, une v\u00e9ritable aristocrate qui lui faisait accepter d'habiter un modeste appartement de Pimlico et l'amour de Flavia Malinverno, une actrice qui lui promet de quitter pour lui son mari et lui propose de partir avec elle \u00e0 Vienne. Ils vont peut-\u00eatre l'aider \u00e0 avoir enfin une image vraie de lui, sans r\u00eaves d'acquisitions mat\u00e9rielles ni r\u00eaves assist\u00e9s?\r\nCe qui pourrait n'\u00eatre qu'un excellent thriller est charg\u00e9 de toute une symbolique de cette Angleterre post-thatch\u00e9rienne.

They are total strangers and yet they look remarkably alike. Lewis is grieving his dead wife; Korine is hiding from his very-much-alive one. Lewis never had children; Korine is an ambivalent parent at best. Lewis is an erstwhile actor, too depressed to attend the big audition that has just fallen into his lap. Korine has tried a dozen dead-end jobs but never pursued his acting dreams.\r\nTwo men living mirror image lives. Each seeking a second chance to get things right. Each wanting what the other has.\r\nAs If is an existential farce about the road not taken. Surreal and slyly poignant, suffused with ironic melancholia, it is a parable for the twenty-first century everyman: a character trapped in reality's hall of mirrors, endlessly searching for something to live for.","authors":["Isabel Waidner"],"category_codes":["1000000","1010000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/187\/9780241779187_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/187\/9780241779187_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/187\/9780241779187_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"24,30 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"26 f\u00e9vrier 2026","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Isabel Waidner \u2014 Hamish Hamilton","translator":null,"weight":255,"page_count":192,"readership":null,"editor":"Hamish Hamilton","price":2430,"published_date":"2026-02-25T23:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780241779187\/as-if"},{"id":"9780241799918","title":"Operation Heartbreak","description":"'Not a word is wasted in this gem of a 1950 novel, inspired by the secret wartime plan'  The Times  \r\nA moving reimagining of the man at the heart of Operation Mincemeat\r\nWilliam Maryngton has just one dream: to fight for his country, as his late father did.

James Baldwin was one of the most brilliant and provocative literary figures of the past century, renowned for his fierce engagement with issues haunting our common history. In  The Cross of Redemption  we have Baldwin discoursing on, among other subjects, the possibility of an African-American president and what it might mean; the hypocrisy of American religious fundamentalism; the black church in America; the trials and tribulations of black nationalism; anti-Semitism; the blues and boxing; Russian literary masters; and the role of the writer in our society.   Prophetic and bracing,  The Cross of Redemption  is a welcome and important addition to the works of a cosmopolitan and canonical American writer who still has much to teach us about race, democracy, and personal and national identity. As Michael Ondaatje has remarked, If van Gogh was our nineteenth-century artist-saint, Baldwin [was] our twentieth-century one.\r","authors":["James\/ Kenan Baldwin"],"category_codes":["1000000","1010000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/967\/9780307275967_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/967\/9780307275967_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/967\/9780307275967_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"19,80 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"6 septembre 2011","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"James\/ Kenan Baldwin \u2014 Vintage Usa","translator":null,"weight":272,"page_count":365,"readership":null,"editor":"Vintage Usa","price":1980,"published_date":"2011-09-05T22:00:00.000000Z","support":"Poche","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780307275967\/the-cross-of-redemption-uncollected-writings"},{"id":"9780593801918","title":"A Century of Fiction in The New Yorker : 1925-2025","description":"Edited by \r\n\r\nAdichie, Atwood, Antrim, Barthelme, Carver, Cheever . . .
