    De dagen van Glas

    De dagen van Glas is het woest meeslepende verhaal van twee bewogen vrouwenlevens, wier paden elkaar kruisen gedurende drie noodlottige dagen ten tijde van het Italiaanse fascisme en het partizanenverzet. Redenta wordt geboren in armoede in 1924, op de dag die het tijdperk van Mussolini inluidt. In haar dorp wordt gefluisterd dat ze het ‘onheil over zich heeft’. Ze beleeft korte momenten van geluk met haar beste vriend Bruno, totdat hij op een dag spoorloos verdwijnt. Op achttienjarige leeftijd wordt ze door haar ouders uitgehuwelijkt aan de eenogige officier ‘Glas’, een sadistische fascist. Ondertussen groeit Iris op in een naburig dorp in betere omstandigheden. Ze vertrekt naar de stad en wordt hopeloos verliefd op de partizaan Diaz, bij wiens verzetsgroep ze zich aansluit. Wanneer ze hoort dat de fascisten haar familie op gruwelijke wijze hebben omgebracht, zint ze op wraak.

    Reis om de wereld in tachtig dagen

    met gravures uit de oorspronkelijke editie van Jules Hetzel

    Omwille van een weddenschap met kaartvrienden reist Phileas Fogg, een Engelse aristocraat van ouderwetse snit, met alle mogelijke middelen de wereld rond. Beurtelings bijgestaan en tegengewerkt door zijn bediende Passepartout en de detective Fix strijdt Fogg met bijna onmenselijke kalmte tegen de wijzers van de klok. Omdat Verne goed op de hoogte was van moderne ontwikkelingen en beschikte over een grote fantasie, hebben zijn boeken aanleiding gegeven tot speculaties over hun ‘voorspellende waarde’. Ten tijde van het verschijnen van Reis om de wereld in tachtig dagen leek een snelle wereldreis nog onmogelijk.

    1. Stephen King

    Desperation

    Tenzij je naar Las Vegas gaat voor blackjack of voor een stripshow, is Nevada voornamelijk een uitgestrekte woestijnvlakte waar je doorheen moet op weg naar ergens anders. En met iemand anders, als je geluk hebt… Omdat Nevada, vooral Centraal-Nevada, een enge plek kan zijn. ‘Er wonen veel excentrieke mensen,’ zegt Mary Jacksons vriendin Marielle, maar Marielle heeft er geen idee van hoe excentriek. Want er is iets verschrikkelijk mis in het kleine mijnstadje Desperation en er zijn mensen op Highway 50 die hun bestemming nooit zullen bereiken; mensen die als de zon ondergaat en de wind opsteekt de ware betekenis van de naam Desperation zullen leren kennen.

    1. Jules , Verne

    Le Tour Du Monde En Quatre-Vingts Jours

    "Le Tour du Monde en Quatre-Vingts Jours" est un chef-d'Å"uvre de la littérature d'aventure qui relate l'incroyable défi relevé par Phileas Fogg, un gentilhomme anglais au flegme légendaire. Membre du prestigieux Reform Club de Londres, Fogg parie la moitié de sa fortune qu'il parviendra à accomplir le tour du globe en seulement quatre-vingts jours, une prouesse technique pour l'époque. Accompagné de son fidèle valet français, Jean Passepartout, il s'engage dans une course contre la montre effrénée traversant les continents et les océans. De l'Égypte à l'Inde, en passant par Hong Kong, le Japon et les États-Unis, les protagonistes utilisent tous les moyens de transport disponibles au XIXe siècle: paquebots, chemins de fer, et mÃame un éléphant. Leur périple est jalonné d'obstacles imprévus, de tempÃates et d'une poursuite policière, car Fogg est injustement soupçonné d'Ãatre l'auteur d'un audacieux vol à la Banque d'Angleterre. À travers ce récit palpitant, Jules Verne célèbre le progrès technologique et l'ingéniosité humaine tout en offrant une galerie de personnages mémorables. "Le Tour du Monde en Quatre-Vingts Jours" demeure une Å"uvre emblématique de l'aventure universelle, captivant les lecteurs par son rythme soutenu et son exploration fascinante du monde moderne naissant.

    1. Jules , Verne

    Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea

    "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" is a seminal work of science fiction and adventure that follows the extraordinary voyage of the "Nautilus", a technologically advanced submarine commanded by the mysterious and enigmatic Captain Nemo. The story begins when Professor Pierre Aronnax, his servant Conseil, and the Canadian harpooner Ned Land are captured by the vessel after setting out to hunt what they believed was a dangerous sea monster.Through the eyes of Aronnax, the narrative explores the wonders and terrors of the deep ocean, from the coral graveyards of the Red Sea to the lost city of Atlantis and the icy waters of the South Pole. Jules Verne's masterpiece blends scientific curiosity with a profound sense of wonder, offering a detailed look at marine biology and engineering that was far ahead of its time. This epic journey is not merely a travelogue of the underwater world but also a character study of Nemo, a man who has severed ties with humanity to find freedom in the silent depths. A cornerstone of speculative fiction, "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" remains a timeless tale of exploration and the enduring conflict between civilization and the untamed natural world.
