In 'Tender is the Night' by Francis Scott Fitzgerald, the reader is transported to the glamorous 1920s French Riviera, where the enigmatic Dick and Nicole Diver take center stage. The novel delves into themes of wealth, power, and the complexities of human relationships, all portrayed through Fitzgerald's exquisite prose and vivid imagery. The non-linear narrative structure adds an element of mystery and intrigue, keeping the reader engaged from start to finish. 'Tender is the Night' stands as a poignant critique of the American Dream and the emptiness that can lie at the heart of seemingly perfect lives. Fitzgerald's own tumultuous life, marked by success, excess, and tragedy, undoubtedly influenced his writing of 'Tender is the Night'. His keen observations of society's elite and his own personal struggles with love and identity are evident throughout the novel. Through the character of Dick Diver, Fitzgerald explores the corrosive effects of wealth and privilege on the human soul. I highly recommend 'Tender is the Night' to readers who appreciate beautifully crafted prose, complex characters, and thought-provoking themes. Fitzgerald's insight into the human condition is both timeless and compelling, making this novel a must-read for fans of classic literature.

<b>Quand la différence entre rêves et réalité s'efface, il est parfois difficile de retrouver ses repères...</b> <br> <br>Parfois le voile fin qui sépare la réalité du rêve se déchire... alors dans notre monde se retrouvent des éléments tirés directement de nos cauchemars. Des éléments qui paraissent tellement réels qu'ils peuvent nous faire douter de notre propre capacité à les reconnaître. Un monde nouveau s'ouvre alors à nous. Un monde ou tout ce qui était normal l'est un peu moins. Un monde où les rêves vous emmènent au plus profond des Otherlands. Un livre de nouvelles inédites par Dominique Combaud. <br> <br> <b>Laissez-vous emporter par ce recueil de nouvelles vers un monde au-delà de toutes frontières.</b> <br> <br>EXTRAIT DE <i>Droit dans le mur</i> <br> <br>Des semaines que je faisais le même rêve. J'étais toujours assis à la même place, côté hublot, juste au-dessus de l'aile gauche. Je buvais une bière bouteille, un journal ouvert sur ma tablette, et je survolais les titres en me doutant qu'un accident allait se produire. Je guettais le bruit des réacteurs, je serrais les genoux en attendant l'explosion de la bombe immanquablement cachée dans la soute, j'attendais l'instant où nous allions imploser, ou nous désintégrer, ou piquer du nez. C'était inéluctable. Je me réveillais toujours en sueur, même après un plongeon dans l'océan ou une chute libre de plus de dix mille mètres, à demi congelé, en compagnie d'un attaché case et d'une perruque blonde. A ces moments-là j'avais la certitude de vivre la réalité, mais bizarrement je prenais les événements d'un peu haut, comme si j'étais étranger à tout ce qui m'entourait. Qu'une perruque toute seule dégringolât avec moi, ça ne me choquait pas le moins du monde, je me disais seulement que la théorie sur la chute des corps n'était pas une blague. <br> <br>CE QU'EN PENSE LA CRITIQUE <br> <br>Dominique Combaud possède un style élégant, tout en finesse, et rien que pour ça, son recueil mérite le détour. - <b>Poljack, <i>Babélio</i></b> <br>

The Maracot Deep is an adventurous science-fiction novella in which Arthur Conan Doyle sends readers on an undersea journey to the lost city of Atlantis. Professor Maracot, an intrepid explorer reminiscent of Professor Challenger, leads a small expedition – including a young engineer and a hardy diver – to the depths of the Atlantic Ocean in a specialized diving bell. There, in the lightless abyss, they make an astonishing discovery: an air-filled sub-marine cavern housing survivors of ancient Atlantis, a civilization presumed destroyed millennia ago. Doyle vividly imagines the Atlanteans: they possess advanced technology (crystal energy devices) and live under the rule of an immortal high priest who has sinister psychic powers. As Maracot and his companions acclimate to this hidden society, they face wonders and perils. Giant deep-sea creatures roam outside the city's dome; inside, the visitors get caught in the power struggle with a malevolent sea-demon the Atlanteans worship. The climax is high fantasy – Maracot matches wits with this demon (an evil intelligence) in a battle of science vs. dark magic. Ultimately, with the demon banished and Atlantis beginning to crumble, the heroes escape dramatically back to the surface. The Maracot Deep combines Doyle's scientific curiosity with swashbuckling fantasy, offering a Jules Verne-esque tale with Doyle's twist of mystical conflict. As one contemporary reviewer noted, it's "an ingenious piece of literature" for fans of Atlantis lore and Verne-style exploits.

This book is ideal for anyone wanting to start scuba diving. It contains the complete theoretical knowledge for the necessary training to gain the Open Water Diver or the Diver 1 star within the CMAS or the R.S.T.C. system and shows some practical examples using small film sequences that can be called up from the Internet using various QR codes. This book does not "burden" with (still) unnecessary knowledge, but leads purposefully to the first internationally recognized diving badge. The new edition also includes the special course diving with Nitrox.
