L’homme qui voulait être sage – Karan Bajaj
À la recherche de soi-même
Max est l’incarnation du rêve américain : grandi dans le Bronx, il a triomphé de ses origines et mène une brillante carrière à Wall Street. Un soir de décembre, pourtant, alors qu’il vient de quitter le chevet de sa mère mourante, Max fait la rencontre d’un homme qui va bouleverser le
cours de son existence. Sur un coup de tête, le golden boy abandonne tout et part pour l’Inde. Sa quête le conduit aux quatre coins du pays, sur des marchés nocturnes et le long des pentes de l’Himalaya, dans des ashrams qui bannissent l’usage de la parole et entre les parois de cavernes gelées. Au bout de sa route parsemée d’embûches, après avoir côtoyé cobras intelligents, Européens déboussolés, ermites rachitiques, s’être exercé au yoga et à la lévitation, Max trouvera-t-il enfin la paix intérieure ?
À la fois roman d’aventures, récit de voyage, conte initiatique et guide de mieux-vivre, L’Homme qui voulait être sage nous embarque dans une éblouissante épopée qui interroge les fondements de notre présence au monde.
Without Merit – Colleen Hoover
Not every mistake deserves a consequence. Sometimes the only thing it deserves is forgiveness.
The Voss family is anything but normal. They live in a repurposed church, newly baptized Dollar Voss. The once cancer-stricken mother lives in the basement, the father is married to the mother’s former nurse, the little half-brother isn’t allowed to do or eat anything fun, and the eldest siblings are irritatingly perfect. Then, there’s Merit.
Merit Voss collects trophies she hasn’t earned and secrets her family forces her to keep. While browsing the local antiques shop for her next trophy, she finds Sagan. His wit and unapologetic idealism disarm and spark renewed life into her—until she discovers that he’s completely unavailable. Merit retreats deeper into herself, watching her family from the sidelines when she learns a secret that no trophy in the world can fix.
Fed up with the lies, Merit decides to shatter the happy family illusion that she’s never been a part of before leaving them behind for good. When her escape plan fails, Merit is forced to deal with the staggering consequences of telling the truth and losing the one boy she loves.
