    OUP Oxford 2006; US$ 124.99

  • The Misanthropeby Molière; Roger McGough

    Bloomsbury Publishing 2013; US$ 12.99

    Affection I can endure, affectation I abhor. Empty phrases, meaningless gestures of faked good-will. These affable dispensers of embraces make me ill.

But... more...

  • Jacques Poulinby Pierre Hébert

    Les Presses de l'Universite d'Ottawa 1997; US$ 9.99

    Les romans de Jacques Poulin sondent un très petit nombre de questions essentiels : quelle influence exerce sur nous notre enfance ? comment vivre avec l?agressivité qui existe en nous-mêmes et chez les autres ? comment équilibre intérieurement la partie féminine et masculine de notre être ? Enfin, cette interrogation récursive qui recueille toutes... more...

    Les Presses de l'Universite d'Ottawa 1998; US$ 9.99
