Ed et Lorraine Warren ont passé leur vie à combattre le mal avec leur foi comme seule arme et ils ont rassemblé plus de trois milles histoires fascinantes. Les voici résumées dans ce livre.

First U.S. Publication A major literary event—the complete, uncensored journals of Sylvia Plath, published in their entirety for the first time. Sylvia Plath's journals were originally published in 1982 in a heavily abridged version authorized by Plath's husband, Ted Hughes. This new edition is an exact and complete transcription of the diaries Plath kept during the last twelve years of her life. Sixty percent of the book is material that has never before been made public, more fully revealing the intensity of the poet's personal and literary struggles, and providing fresh insight into both her frequent desperation and the bravery with which she faced down her demons. The complete Journals of Sylvia Plath is essential reading for all who have been moved and fascinated by Plath's life and work.

Dolls: red or black; capsules or tablets; washed down with vodka or swallowed straight-for Anne, Neely, and Jennifer, it doesn't matter, as long as the pill bottle is within easy reach. These three women become best friends when they are young and struggling in New York City and then climb to the top of the entertainment industry—only to find that there is no place left to go but down—into the Valley of the Dolls.

In 1967, after a session with a psychiatrist she'd never seen before, eighteen-year-old Susanna Kaysen was put in a taxi and sent to McLean Hospital. She spent most of the next two years on the ward for teenage girls in a psychiatric hospital as renowned for its famous clientele—Sylvia Plath, Robert Lowell, James Taylor, and Ray Charles—as for its progressive methods of treating those who could afford its sanctuary. Kaysen's memoir encompasses horror and razor-edged perception while providing vivid portraits of her fellow patients and their keepers. It is a brilliant evocation of a "parallel universe" set within the kaleidoscopically shifting landscape of the late sixties. Girl, Interrupted is a clear-sighted, unflinching documnet that gives lasting and specific dimension to our definitions of sane and insane, mental illness and recovery.

Alternate cover edition of ISBN 9780451163967 Tyrannical Nurse Ratched rules her ward in an Oregon State mental hospital with a strict and unbending routine, unopposed by her patients, who remain cowed by mind-numbing medication and the threat of electric shock therapy. But her regime is disrupted by the arrival of McMurphy – the swaggering, fun-loving trickster with a devilish grin who resolves to oppose her rules on behalf of his fellow inmates. His struggle is seen through the eyes of Chief Bromden, a seemingly mute half-Indian patient who understands McMurphy's heroic attempt to do battle with the powers that keep them imprisoned. Ken Kesey's extraordinary first novel is an exuberant, ribald and devastatingly honest portrayal of the boundaries between sanity and madness.

Kdysi mocný národ Ravka, obklopený nepřáteli, byl rozerván ve dví Stínovou trhlinou, pásem téměř neproniknutelné temnoty hemžícím se nestvůrami, které se živí lidským masem. Jeho osud teď možná spočívá na bedrech jediné osamělé uprchlice. Alina Starkovová nikdy v ničem nevynikala. Když je však její pluk na Trhlině napaden a její nejlepší přítel brutálně zraněn, Alina v sobě odhalí dřímající moc, která mu zachrání život — moc, jež by mohla být klíčem k osvobození její válkou zničené země. Alina je vytržena ze všeho, co zná, a odvezena ke královskému dvoru, aby se vycvičila jako členka grišů, magické elity vedené tajemným Temným. V tomhle přepychovém světě však nic není takové, jak se zdá. Zatímco se blíží temnota a celé království závisí na její nezkrocené moci, bude se Alina muset postavit tajemstvím grišů… i tajemstvím svého srdce.

Temnota nikdy neumírá. Alina, pronásledovaná přes Pravé moře a sužovaná vzpomínkami na životy, které vzala na Záhybu, se musí pokusit začít s Malem nový život v neznámé zemi a zároveň utajit, že je Vyvolávačkou slunce. Před minulostí ani osudem však dlouho neuteče. Temnyj vystoupil ze Stínového záhybu s děsivou novou mocí a nebezpečným plánem, který prověří samotné hranice přírodního světa. S pomocí nechvalně známého korzára se Alina vrací do země, kterou opustila, odhodlaná bojovat proti silám shromažďujícím se proti Ravce. Jak však její moc roste, Alina se propadá hlouběji do Temnyjovy hry se zakázanou magií a vzdaluje se Malovi. Bude si muset vybrat mezi svou zemí, svou mocí a láskou, o níž si vždy myslela, že ji povede — jinak riskuje, že ve vznikající bouři ztratí všechno.

▶ Alternative Cover Edition #1 The capital has fallen. The Darkling rules Ravka from his shadow throne. Now the nation's fate rests with a broken Sun Summoner, a disgraced tracker, and the shattered remnants of a once-great magical army. Deep in an ancient network of tunnels and caverns, a weakened Alina must submit to the dubious protection of the Apparat and the zealots who worship her as a Saint. Yet her plans lie elsewhere, with the hunt for the elusive firebird and the hope that an outlaw prince still survives. Alina will have to forge new alliances and put aside old rivalries as she and Mal race to find the last of Morozova's amplifiers. But as she begins to unravel the Darkling's secrets, she reveals a past that will forever alter her understanding of the bond they share and the power she wields. The firebird is the one thing that stands between Ravka and destruction—and claiming it could cost Alina the very future she’s fighting for.

From the opening description of the lifeless body to the moment-by-moment account of her final days and hours, 'The Assassination of Marilyn Monroe' explores every myth concerning the remarkable life and tragic death of the world's most famous woman. With the testimony of two witnesses, John Miner and Norman Jefferies, who always seemed to possess potentially explosive information but had never previously come forward, Donald H. Wolfe assembles conclusive evidence proving that Marilyn Monroe was murdered. He not only names her killer and specifies the cause of death, but identifies the men who, acting upon the 'National Security Matter' surrounding Marilyn, orchestrated the subsequent cover-up about the events that unfolded at the star's home on 4 August 1962. It is truly a gripping portrait of one of the most shocking crimes of the twentieth century.

Née le 28 juillet 1929, Jacqueline Lee Bouvier, fut sans conteste la plus célèbre des Premières Dames américaines. Elle sut remplir avec style et dignité ses fonctions de femme de président et accepter le fardeau du pouvoir, la trahison, la mort et la solitude. Frédéric Lecomte retrace son parcours, de sa rencontre avec JFK, à la fin des années 40, jusqu'à son remariage avec Onassis en 1968 et la mort, l'année suivante, du patriarche du clan, Joseph P. Kennedy. Il observe le rôle qu'elle a joué dans la carrière politique de son époux, évoquant les drames qui ont jalonné sa vie : la perte d'un enfant mort-né en août 1956, les infidélités de son mari, l'attentat du 22 novembre 1963 qui plongea l'Amérique dans la stupeur et à la suite duquel elle reçut 800 000 messages de sympathie, les joies aussi avec les naissances de Caroline (1957) et John (1960). Pour les besoins de son enquête, Frédéric Lecomte a eu accès à nombre de pièces et lettres inédites issues des archives de la famille Kennedy, interviewé des proches (Pierre Salinger, l'attaché de presse, Lee Radzivill, la soeur de Jackie )

Von vielen als der größte Roman der Welt gefeiert, bietet Anna Karenina ein weites Panorama des zeitgenössischen Lebens in Russland und der Menschheit im Allgemeinen. Darin nutzt Tolstoi seine intensive Vorstellungskraft, um einige der unvergesslichsten Figuren der gesamten Literatur zu schaffen. Anna ist eine kultivierte Frau, die ihre leere Existenz als Frau Karenins aufgibt und sich Graf Wronski zuwendet, um ihre leidenschaftliche Natur zu erfüllen – mit tragischen Folgen. Lewin spiegelt Tolstoi selbst wider und bringt oft die eigenen Ansichten und Überzeugungen des Autors zum Ausdruck. Durchgehend zieht Tolstoi keine moralische Lehre, sondern lädt uns lediglich ein, nicht zu urteilen, sondern zuzusehen. Wie Rosemary Edmonds bemerkt: „Er überlässt die wechselnden Muster des Kaleidoskops, um die Bedeutung der düsteren Worte nach dem Titel zur Geltung zu bringen: ‚Mein ist die Rache, ich will vergelten.‘“

Evil never dies... After escaping the horrors of the Dark Dimension, Elena can′t wait to attend Dalcrest College, the beautiful ivy-covered campus where her parents met. Life with Stefan is better than ever, and even Damon seems genuinely changed and is getting along with everyone. But moving away from Fell′s Church doesn′t mean she and her friends are free from danger. When students start to disappear from campus, suddenly every new acquaintance is a potential enemy. Then Elena uncovers a long-hidden secret, one that shocks her to the core, and realizes tragedy may be unavoidable. (Note: This was written by a ghostwriter)
