Story
"Le chef d'œuvre inconnu" : cette nouvelle primordiale repose en fait, sur un leurre. Elle contribue à révéler le statut de l'artiste et prouve effectivement que, chez Balzac, la mystification permet en fait de dire le vrai, de dire la vérité. Adieu 1812, lors des derniers moments du passage de la Bérézina, Philippe de Sucy sauve d'une mort certaine le général de Vandières et sa jeune épouse qui n'est autre que l'amour de jeunesse de Sucy. 1819, Sucy retrouve la comtesse de Vandières folle et il entreprend de lui rendre la raison.

"Le chef d'œuvre inconnu" a inspiré nombre de peintres, notamment Picasso, et de cinéastes ("La Belle Noiseuse" de Jacques Rivette - 1991). Ce "conte fantastique" à la manière d'Hoffmann est aussi une belle méditation sur la création, la recherche initiatique de l'absolu et le pouvoir de l'esprit dans le domaine de l'art.

Story
Honoré de Balzac est un maître du roman français, dont il a abordé plusieurs genres, du roman philosophique avec "Le chef-d'œuvre inconnu" au roman fantastique avec "La peau de chagrin" ou encore au roman poétique avec "Le lys dans la vallée". Il a surtout excellé dans la veine du réalisme, avec notamment "Le père Goriot" et "Eugénie Grandet", mais il s'agit d'un réalisme visionnaire, que transcende la puissance de son imagination créatrice.

Niché au coeur de Paris, l'hôtel particulier des San-Réal est une enclave orientale qui abrite les amours saphiques de la marquise de San-Réal, sorte d'" Othello femelle ", et de Paquita, la Fille aux yeux d'or. Mais la jeune fille est également convoitée par Henri de Marsay, jeune dandy parisien qui en est fou.

"Oggi la mano di lei molce segrete afflizioni di ogni casa, ed ella s'avvia verso l'alto per una strada di benefici. La grandezza dell'anima copre i difetti dell'educazione e delle prime abitudini in questa donna che vive nel mondo e ad esso non appartiene, che era nata per divenire sposa e madre esemplare e non ha marito, né figlioli, né famiglia. Di recente si parlò di una nuova proposta di matrimonio da parte del marchese Froidfond, la cui parentela cominciava a circuire la ricca vedova come un giorno avevano fatto i Cruchot."

La storia di Eugénie è ambientata a Saumur, piccolo paesino della campagna francese. Il padre di Eugénie, che in città è conosciuto come papà Grandet, è un vecchio vignaiuolo arricchitosi grazie all'eredità paterna fatta fruttare tramite giusti investimenti finanziari, ha un fiuto infallibile per gli affari e ad una proverbiale avarizia, che suscita in lui un notevole attaccamento all'oro che “sembrava aver comunicato il suo colore al suo viso”. Nonostante la sua ricchezza, quindi, il padrone di casa fa di tutto per nasconderla, non parlarne e, soprattutto, non spenderla.

Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky. Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves.

Story
Shari Franke’s childhood was a constant battle for survival. Her mother, Ruby Franke, enforced a severe moral code while maintaining a façade of a picture-perfect family for their wildly popular YouTube channel 8 Passengers, which documented the day-to-day life of raising six children for a staggering 2.5 million subscribers. But a darker truth lurked beneath the surface—Ruby’s wholesome online persona masked a more tyrannical parenting style than anyone could have imagined.

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College-Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky. Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves.

When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
