books by Fayard     books:       Edgar Allan Poe11 reviews Edgar Allan Poe, Claude Richard Fayard, 1998 Edgar Allen Poe for Young People The poetry of Edgar Allen Poe is often taught in school because kids enjoy the horror aspect and the fact he is one of the first major writers in the US. This is a great guide for the poetry of Poe. The book explains the background of the poem nicely and provides a good introduction to his writing. Highly recommended.             Le Parfum2 reviews Patrick Süskind Fayard, 1991 A DAZZLING AND UNIQUE WORK OF FICTION... This is the French text edition of "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer", a novel so beautifully written that it transcends into literature. Ingenious in its conception and carefully crafted, the author has created a unique and dazzling work of fiction. Divided into three parts, the book tells the story of a most unusual life, that of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille. The first part of the book ...             Les raisins de la galere: Roman (Libres / Fayard) Tahar Ben Jelloun Fayard, 1996             Shoah28 reviews Claude Lanzmann Fayard, 1985 Essential Holocaust Study Extremely moving and deeply disturbing personal testimony of various Holocaust survivors and perpetrators - this video is a must for anyone seriously studying the apparatus of the Final Solution. Concentration camp inmates who were witness or trustys of the gas chambers and crematoria describe the daily operations of mass-murder in vivid detail. Producer/director Lanzmann is subtly vindictive ...             Paula107 reviews Isabel Allende, Philippe Guillaumin Fayard, 1995 Devastatingly Beautiful When Isabel Allende's daughter suffered a calamatous illness, Allende did what came naturally. She wrote a story. On its most basic level, this book is about a mother who is losing her child. She goes through the stages of grieving, sometimes even arguing with herself on the pages about what might come next. It goes much deeper, though. There is a point in the book when it seems she has ...             Euvres erotiques (L'Enfer de la Bibliotheque nationale) Honore-Gabriel de Riquetti Mirabeau Fayard, 1984             Gengis-khan Michel Hoang Fayard, 1988             Memento mori14 reviews Muriel Spark Fayard, 1993 Superb novel, ahead of its time A wonderful novel about a subject taboo in the 1950's in London... growing old. One of the very few books of its time to talk about those in their 70's and 80's without being patronizing or treating them as stereotypes. BBC Television produced a wonderful version filled with stars who had not held starring roles in decades (except Maggie Smith). Wonderful character studies and a clever ...             Un Peu De Science Pour Tout Le Monde Claude J. Allegre Fayard, 2003             Leopold II Georges Henri Dumont Fayard, 1990             Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina Lino Bianchi Fayard, 1994             Histoire de l'Internationale communiste, 1919-194326 reviews Pierre Broué Fayard, 1997 Tragic... Palace suspicions had kept her at arms length from the main events in France. Marie Antoinette, the daughter of Maria Theresa of Austria (Empress of the Habsburg dynasty), was the victim of gutter press and the intrigues of ambitious lackeys, consequently was to take part of the blame that followed. For example recent literature revealed she had never said `let the people eat cake if they ...             Dieu existe, je l'ai rencontré André Frossard Fayard, 1976             Lire le delire: Alienisme, rhetorique et litterature en France au XIXe siecle Juan Rigoli Fayard, 2001             Vision (Documents spirituels)3 reviews W. B Yeats Fayard, 1979 Esoteric Yeats Yeats's "A Vision" gives an esoteric and occult view of the nature of reality and is the product of years of collaboration between the poet, W. B. Yeats, and his wife, George, in automatic writing, followed by years of synthesis and research to work it into book form. The system presented here views everything as subject to a cycle of changes, "gyres", and the stages of the cycle are symbolised ...             Le Grand Meaulnes33 reviews Alain-Fournier Fayard, 1986 French Classic- young men coming of age Le Grand Meaulnes is a beautifully rendered tale full of love, loss, betrayal and friendship. It is the tale of young boys at a boarding school who are coming of age and learning about all that life has to offer. It takes place in the French countryside in the 1800's. It is intriguing to watch the boys mature and take their initial steps into adulthood, from carefree days at their boarding ...             Le Pigeon17 reviews Patrick Süskind Fayard, 1987 Oh man, we need more from Suskind. I had to get a copy of The Pigeon used after reading Perfume. I read it in one sitting. It's such a gem. I don't know how many pages go by where the main character is just standing in front of this bank thinking, not doing anything. It's riveting. He eats a meal towards the end of the book and I've never read such tasty descriptions of food. And rain, and peeing in the tub, and ripping your ...             Treblinka : La révolte d'un camp d'extermination25 reviews Jean-François Steiner Fayard, 1994 Powerful Stuff I am no holocaust historian so I cannot comment on the book being fact or fiction. The book is, however, a VERY compelling read. I literally had trouble putting this down. The writing is very vivid and it is a extremely thought provoking book.              search for books 1919-1943, alienisme, bibliotheque, communiste, delire, documents, erotiques, euvres, existe, extermination, gengis-khan, giovanni, histoire, internationale, leopold, libres, litterature, meaulnes, memento, nationale, palestrina, parfum, pierluigi, raisins, rencontré, rhetorique, révolte, science, spirituels, treblinka books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
