Liza of Lambeth was W. Somerset Maugham's first novel, which he wrote while working as a doctor at a hospital in Lambeth, then a working class district of London. It depicts the short life and death of Liza Kemp, an 18-year-old factory worker who lives together with her aging mother in the fictional Vere Street off Westminster Bridge Road (real) in Lambeth. All in all, it gives the reader an interesting insight into the everyday lives of working class Londoners at the end of the nineteenth century. The action covers a period of roughly four months.from August to November.around the time of Queen Victoria's Jubilee. Liza Kemp is an 18-year-old factory worker and the youngest of a large family, now living alone with her aging mother. Very popular with all the residents of Vere Street, Lambeth, she likes Tom, a boy her age, but not as much as he likes her, so she rejects him when he proposes. Nevertheless, she is persuaded to join a party of 32 who make a coach trip (in a horse-drawn coach, of course) to a nearby village on the August Bank Holiday Monday. Some of the other members of the party are Tom; Liza's friend Sally and her boyfriend Harry; and Jim Blakeston, a 40-year-old father of 5 who has recently moved to Vere Street with his large family, and his wife (while their eldest daughter, Polly, is taking care of her siblings). The outing is fun, and they all get drunk on beer. On their way back in the dark, Liza realises that Jim Blakeston is making a pass at her by holding her hand. Back home, Jim manages to speak to her alone and to steal a kiss from her.

Robert Lax (1915 - 2000) was a close friend of Thomas Merton, Ad Reinhardt, and the beatniks. After his studies at Columbia University, he worked for Time, Parade, and The New Yorker - and then published his first book: Circus of the Sun. As Jubilee´s roving editor he travelled a lot, and finally decided to stay in Greece, where he found the quietness he needed for his poetic work. Living a solitary life on Greek islands, he became one of the great loners of American literature. The process of his mental, spiritual, and artistic development is what makes Lax´s life most interesting. ´The Inner Biography´ stresses on his search for his own way of life, with references to his texts and poems. He made his daily life a ritual, transposing his experiences into his poetry: life has something to do with art, & it´s just a matter of finding the special point at which the two of them get together. His deliberate slowness, his spirituality, his charisma, and his poetic work impressed everybody who met Robert Lax. The book also contains a short biographical synopsis of Lax´s life, and a comprehensive catalog (635 entries) of the works of Robert Lax.

<b>Valbert de Crécy, riche financier, respire enfin le doux air de juillet après six mois passés en prison.</b> <br> <br>Pourtant, issu d’une bonne famille et respecté professionnellement, Valbert n’a pas vraiment le profil du délinquant véreux... Comment en est-il arrivé là ? Quels événements ont provoqué l’inexorable descente aux enfers de cet homme jusqu’ici plutôt gâté par l’existence ? C’est ce que l’intrique passionnante de <i>Dog Brother</i> propose au lecteur de découvrir, au rythme trépidant des rebondissements et renversements de situation qui ponctuent ce roman dans lequel deux univers que tout oppose entrent en collision : celui de deux marginaux laissés pour compte et celui de notre riche trader... Un choc des cultures d’une sincérité foudroyante où se mêlent espionnage, manipulation, coup de théâtre démontrant ainsi que les apparences sont souvent trompeuses. <br> <br> <b>Une intrigue haletante et un regard sans concessions sur notre société composent ce roman pour le moins addictif !</b> <br> <br>EXTRAIT <br> <br>Entrer dans l’Histoire comme dernier détenu libéré de la prison toulousaine, la belle affaire ! Ça n’effacera jamais l’avanie de six mois d’incarcération. <br>Valbert avait récupéré son stylo-plume Montblanc et mis sa Rolex au poignet, le regard méprisant à l’endroit du gardien. Depuis le temps, ces vulgarités <br>répétées auraient dû le blaser, mais c’était sans compter sur la fierté et l’attachement viscéral des De Crécy au code d’honneur. Un attachement dont le zèle ostensible frisait parfois le ridicule. Alors, forcément, surveillants et codétenus s’en donnaient à cœur joie. Combien de fois dut-il se faire violence pour ne pas <br>leur mettre son poing sur la figure ! Bref, il était temps que ça cesse. <br> <br>À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR <br> <br> <b>Jean Roncenelle</b> a quitté les terrains de jeux des coteaux du Lyonnais à l’âge de 8 ans pour aller écumer les cours de récréation des collèges tunisiens pendant 6 ans, avant de percer ses boutons de puberté de la seconde à la terminale au lycée Rascol d’Albi. <br>Les 5 années suivantes, il parcourt les campus universitaires scientifiques Toulousains et Bordelais, avant de rentrer à France Telecom en 1981, entreprise où il travaille encore aujourd’hui...
