– Qui est-ce?… – Je ne sais pas! C’est la première fois qu’il vient, dit Adèle en exhalant la fumée de sa cigarette. Et elle décroisa paresseusement les jambes, tapota ses cheveux sur les tempes, plongea le regard dans un des miroirs tapissant la salle pour s’assurer que son maquillage n’était pas défait. Elle était assise sur une banquette de velours grenat, en face d’une table supportant trois verres de porto. Elle avait un jeune homme à sa gauche, un jeune homme à droite. – Vous permettez, mes petits?… Elle leur adressa un sourire gentil, confidentiel, se leva et, balançant les hanches, traversa la salle pour s’approcher de la table du nouvel arrivant. Les quatre...

«Mon nom est Cohn, Gengis Cohn. Naturellement, Gengis est un pseudonyme: mon vrai prénom était Moïché, mais Gengis allait mieux avec mon genre de drôlerie. Je suis un comique juif et j`étais très connu jadis, dans les cabarets yiddish: d`abord au Schwarze Schickse de Berlin, ensuite au Motke Ganeff de Varsovie, et enfin à Auschwitz. Personnellement, je ne suis pas resté dans ce camp illustre. Je m`en suis miraculeusement évadé, en décembre 1943, Dieu soit loué. Mais je fus repris quelques mois plus tard, par un détachement de SS sous les ordres du Hauptjudenfresser Schatz, que j`appelle Schatzchen dans l`intimité: un terme câlin qui veut dire "petit...
HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. `There is no greater sorrow then to recall our times of joy in wretchedness.` Considered one of the greatest medieval poems written in the common vernacular of the time, Dante`s Inferno begins on Good Friday in the year 1300.
