Le cri - Et autres nouvelles anglaises

Récit autobiographique sur les dévastations que fait subir l'expérience de la guerre à l'âme et au corps. Une réflexion amère sur la perte de l'innocence.

Adieu à tout cela

Celui qui fut le petit-neveu d'Auguste et le neveu de Tibère, l'oncle de Caligula, le beau-père de Néron, l'époux de Messaline et d'Agrippine, Claude qui boite et bégaie, prend ici la parole et fait le bilan de son existence. Comment cet intellectuel débile et volontiers ridicule, mais l'âme assez grande et le cœur sensible, a-t-il pu échapper à tant de pièges, survivre à travers tant d'intrigues et de meurtres, pour atteindre finalement cette couronne qu'il ne désire pas ? Il se révèle, dans ces Mémoires imaginaires, un personnage passionnant, perspicace et sarcastique, et pourtant débonnaire, dévoré par le seul impitoyable souci de la vérité. Cette vérité sur l'Empire et sur Rome est à faire frémir.

Moi, Claude

Pour Jack, un petit orphelin qui s'ennuie entre son oncle et sa tante, quelle merveilleuse découverte : le grand livre vert trouvé au grenier est un livre plein de formules magiques. Quelle merveilleuse occasion aussi d'exercer son pouvoir... Et quelle merveilleuse occasion d'apprendre à ne pas en abuser...

Le grand livre vert

Including many of the greatest stories ever told - the labours of Hercules, the voyage of the Argonauts, Theseus and the minotaur, Midas and his golden touch, the Trojan War and Odysseus's journey home - Robert Graves's superb and comprehensive retelling of the Greek myths for a modern audience has been regarded for over fifty years as the definitive version. 


With a novelist's skill and a poet's eye, Graves draws on the entire canon of ancient literature, bringing together all the elements of every myth into one epic and unforgettable story. Ideal for the first time reader, it can be read as a single, continuous narrative, while full commentaries, with cross-references, interpretations, variants and explanations, as well as a comprehensive index of names, make it equally valuable as a work of scholarly reference for anyone seeking an authoritative and detailed account of the gods, heroes and extraordinary events that provide the bedrock of Western literature.


The result is a classic among classics, a treasure trove of extraordinary tales and a masterful work of literature in its own right.

The greek myths

King Jesus is one of the most controversial historical novels of all time. In it, Robert Graves has summoned his superb narrative powers, his painstaking scholarship, his wit & unsurpassed ability to recreate the past, to produce a magnificant portrayal of the life of Christ on earth. "This is the history of the wonder-worker Jesus, rightful heir-at-law to the dominions of Herod, King of the Jews, who in the fifteenth year of the Emperor Tiberius was sentenced to death by Pontius Pilate. Not the least wonderful of his feats was that, though certified dead, & laid in a tomb, he returned three days later...King Jesus (for he was entitled to be so addressed) is now worshipped as a god by a sect known as the Gentile Christians." So begins Agabus, an Alexandria scholar writing toward the end of the 1st century AD. "Superb narrative powers, painstaking scholarship, wit & imagination guarantee that this fictional portrayal of the life of Christ will be not only magnificent but controversial."--Book of the Month Editorial Review Board
