Avec son premier roman, Bonne Espérance, Luanshya Greer avait d'emblée conquis un public mondial. L'adaptation de son roman en une…
superbe série télévisée avait encore étendu la popularité de cette émouvante saga qui racontait, à travers l'histoire d'une famille, les origines d'un pays tourmenté : l'Afrique du Sud, au XIXe Siècle. "Un livre épique qui sera pour l'Afrique du Sud ce que Racines fut pour l'Amérique", l'avait ainsi salué le romancier Eric Ségal. Voici donc l'occasion de retrouver, mais cette fois-ci en plein XXe siècle, les héritiers de la famille Beauvilliers. Le domaine de Bonne Espérance, grand vignoble dans un site idyllique, attire toujours convoitises des différentes branches de famille. Là, dans les ombres violettes de la montagne de la Table d'amour aura raison des haines ancestrales l'amour de deux enfants, la petite Rébecca et son cousin Luke, qui saura réconcilier un douloureux héritage avec les aspirations d'une génération qui refuse le racisme et l'injustice. Titre uniforme: Shadows in the wind.

Vous ne verrez jamais son visage. Vous ne connaîtrez même pas son prénom, puisque son entreprise lui en a donné…
un autre. Il est le téléopérateur qui finit par vous répondre après que vous avez dû appuyer successivement sur la touche étoile, trois, six, dièse puis de nouveau étoile. «Éric à votre service.» Éric ? Inutile de vous en souvenir. Lors de votre prochain appel, vous tomberez sur John, George, Paul ou Ringo. Une série de suicides dans l'entreprise rappelle que les employés ne sont pas des machines. Sur le plateau de téléphonie, Éric et ses collègues s'interrogent. Certains prophétisent la révolution. D'autres songent avec compassion aux familles des disparus. D'autres encore font l'inventaire de tout ce qui, même ici, maintient en vie l'idée d'humanité. Éric, lui, décide simplement de transgresser les consignes : un jour il rappelle un client de sa propre initiative... Face aux mots qui défilent sur un prompteur, ceux que l'univers économique tente de maîtriser, l'homme au travail doit puiser dans sa langue maternelle sa capacité de résistance. Et ce retour aux mots sauvages est peut-être le début de la littérature.

With America's founding principles being debated today as never before, Russell Shorto looks back to the era in which those…
principles were forged. Drawing on new sources, he weaves the lives of six people into a seamless narrative that casts fresh light on the range of experience in colonial America on the cusp of revolution. While some of the protagonists--a Native American warrior, a British aristocrat, George Washington--play major roles on the field of battle, others--a woman, a slave, and a laborer--struggle no less valiantly to realize freedom for themselves. Through these lives we understand that the Revolution was, indeed, fought over the meaning of individual freedom, a philosophical idea that became a force for violent change. 2017.
