The Atlas Maior, the cartographical masterpiece of the Baroque period, was brought out between 1662 and 1665 by the Amsterdam publisher Joan Blaeu, one of Holland`s leading cartographers. Originally appearing in Latin, the atlas comprised 594 maps in 11 volumes, which depicted the whole of the world as known to early modern Europe. It was the largest and most expensive book published during the 17th century. For more than 100 years it remained the definitive atlas of the world, and today is among the most sought-after and valuable antiquarian rarities. This reprinted edition in six volumes is based on the hand-colored, gold-heightened copy in the Osterreichische Nationalbibliothek in Vienna, thus ensuring the best possible detail and...

Half-brothers Michel and Bruno have a mother in common but little else. Michel is a molecular biologist, a thinker and idealist, a man with no erotic life to speak of and little in the way of human society. Bruno, by contrast, is a libertine, though more in theory than in practice, his endless lust is all too rarely reciprocated. Both are symptomatic members of our atomised society, where religion has given way to shallow `new age` philosophies and love to meaningless sexual connections. Atomised (Les Particules elementaires) tells the stories of the two brothers, but the real subject of the novel is in its dismantling of contemporary society and its assumptions, in its political incorrectness, and its caustic and penetrating asides on...

Tu ne crois pas que tu bois un peu trop? Était-ce "trop" qu`elle avait dit? Peut-être que non. Peut-être qu`elle s`était contentée de dire "beaucoup", parce que c`était une femme qui avait appris comment on parle aux hommes, à certains hommes en tout cas, et justement aux hommes dans le genre de Viau. Elle ne le disait pas sèchement, sur un ton de reproche ou de mépris, comme les épouses qui ne savent pas s`y prendre. Elle ne le disait pas non plus avec des lèvres pâles qui frémissent, comme d`autres épouses ou maîtresses qui ont peur d`être battues.

Le Second Empire vise à faire de Paris la capitale de la mode et du luxe. La ville se modernise. Les boutiques du Paris ancien laissent place peu à peu aux grands magasins, dans le voisinage des boulevards et de la gare Saint-Lazare. La nouvelle architecture illustre l`évolution des goûts: on entre dans le royaume de l`illusion. Octave Mouret, directeur du Bonheur des Dames, se lance dans le nouveau commerce. L`exploit du romancier est d`avoir transformé un épisode de notre histoire économique en aventure romanesque et en intrigue amoureuse. Rien d`idyllique pourtant: le magasin est construit sur un cadavre ensanglanté, et l`argent corrompt tout. Pour Zola, la réussite du grand magasin...
