In the heart of London, amidst the bustling streets and grand facades, lies a secret city-a realm of hidden desires, forbidden passions, and long-buried secrets. Enter Julian Trench, a young man drawn into this enigmatic world by a chance encounter. As he delves deeper, he uncovers a web of intrigue that threatens to consume him. From the opulent mansions of Mayfair to the shadowy alleys of Soho, Julian navigates a labyrinth of deception, where nothing is as it seems. With each step, he uncovers a hidden city within the city, a place where the boundaries between reality and illusion blur, and the past and present collide in a dangerous dance.
`Memoirs of a Madman' (1838) was written by the great French author Gustave Flaubert, famous for his scandalous, best-selling novel `Madame Bovary'. One of his earliest works, this captivating tale follows the recollections of a young man as he recounts his childhood innocence, followed by his painful, abrupt entry into the adult world. This powerful story highlights the author's views on the idealisation of women and lays the foundation for his renowned `L'Education Sentimentale'. Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880) was a French novelist, regarded as one of the greatest Western writers and a leading exponent of literary realism in France. A hugely influential figure, he is best known for his debut novel `Madame Bovary' (1857) which caused a nationwide scandal upon publication with its realistic portrayal of bourgeois life. The historical novel `Salammbô' and the painting-inspired `The Temptation of Saint Anthony' are some of his other well-known works. Many of Flaubert's stories have since been adapted for TV and film including `Madame Bovary' (2000) starring Hugh Bonneville and Greg Wise.
En banlieue, la banlieue de tous les jours que chacun connaît, dans une maison vide, hostile, un homme se souvient. Cet homme a tué - et fait tuer - trois personnes, se tuant lui-même moralement. Caveau de famille est sa confession, sans effets littéraires, mais d'une absolue franchise, d'une froide lucidité. Bien des lecteurs se reconnaîtront dans ce pitoyable héros. De ce roman d'une noirceur affolante, ne se dégage aucun espoir, malgré une fin apparemment optimiste. Caveau de famille, oeuvre d'un tout jeune auteur, est le roman sans concession de la jeunesse d'aujourd'hui, et place d'emblée Michel Lenoir parmi les maîtres du suspense.
