A delightful period piece of Paris in the late 1880’s, We’ll to the Woods No More ( Les lauriers sont coupés ) retains its importance as the first use of the monologue intérieur and the inspiration for the stream-of-consciousness technique perfected by James Joyce. Dujardin’s charming tale, told with insight and irony, recounts what goes on in the mind of a young man-about-town in love with a Parisian actress. Mallarmé described the poetry of the telling as "the instant seized by the throat." Originally published in France in 1887, the first English translation (by Joyce scholar Stuart Gilbert) was published by New Directions in 1938. In 1957 Leon Edel’s perceptive historical essay reintroduced the book as "the rare and beautiful case of a minor work which launched a major movement."

Brassaï
Paris after dark
Roaming Paris streets by night in the early 1930s, Brassa created arresting images of the city's dramatic nocturnal landscape. First published in French in 1932, this new edition brings one of Brassa's finest works back into print. The back alleys, metro stations, and bistros he photographed are at turns hauntingly empty or peopled by prostitutes, laborers, thugs, and lovers. "Paris by Night" is a stunning portrait of nighttime in the City of Light, as captured by its most articulate observer. 62 photos.

Román Mor, vrcholné dielo Alberta Camusa, je považovaný za jeden z trvalých pamätníkov protifašistického odporu a svedectvo o hodnote humanizmu. Lekár Rieux, hlavný hrdina románu, zaznamenáva symptómy a priebeh morovej epidémie v alžírskom Orane. V uzavretom, od okolitého sveta odrezanom meste sav dôsledku šírenia moru obyvateľstvo rozdelí na dve skupiny - jedni trpne čakajú, kým na nich príde rad, druhí sa snažia proti pohrome bojovať všemožným prostriedkami, hoci sú ich vyhliadky mizivé. Obidva postoje autor hodnotí ako hlboko ľudské. Postavy i situácie opísané v románe sú symbolickým vyobrazením Francúzska okupovaného nacizmom.
