Nobody knows what became of them. Five hundred years later, Christopher Columbus is sailing for the Americas, dreaming of gold and conquest. Even when captured, his faith in his mission is unshaken. Thirty years after that, Atahualpa, the last Inca emperor, arrives in a Europe ready for revolution. Fortunately, he has a recent guidebook to acquiring power - Machiavelli's The Prince.

Vers l'an mille : la fille d’Erik le Rouge met cap au sud avec son mari, quelques hommes, du betail et des chevaux. 1492 : Colomb ne decouvre pas l'Amerique. 1531 : les Incas envahissent l'Europe. Ce qui a manque aux Incas pour resister aux conquistadors : le cheval, le fer, les anticorps. Dans Civilizations, les Vikings les leur ont apportes. Quelques siecles plus tard, Atahualpa debarque dans l'Europe de Charles Quint. Il trouve un continent dechire par les querelles religieuses et dynastiques. Mais surtout, des populations brimees, affamees, au bord du soulevement – des allies. Voici le recit d’une autre mondialisation, telle qu'au fond il s'en est fallu d'un rien pour qu'elle l'emporte et devienne realite. L’esprit ironique et la virtuosite mimetique de l’ecrivain eclatent dans ce renversement de l’histoire. Le Monde des livres. Une fresque vertigineuse. Le Figaro litteraire. Intelligent, vif, moderne. Un fantastique plaisir de lecture ! Historia. GRAND PRIX DU ROMAN DE L’ACADEMIE FRANCAISE.

Prague, 1942, operation « Anthropoide » : deux parachutistes tcheques sont charges par Londres d'assassiner Reinhard Heydrich, le chef de la Gestapo et des services secrets nazis, le planificateur de la Solution finale, le « bourreau de Prague ». Heydrich, le bras droit d'Himmler. Chez les SS, on dit de lui : « HHhH ». Himmlers Hirn hei?t Heydrich – le cerveau d'Himmler s'appelle Heydrich. Dans ce livre, les faits relates comme les personnages sont authentiques. Pourtant, une autre guerre se fait jour, celle que livre la fiction romanesque a la verite historique. L'auteur doit resister a la tentation de romancer. Il faut bien, cependant, mener l'histoire a son terme… Un ecrivain qui accomplit la prouesse d’a la fois narrer l’Histoire authentique, tout en inserant sa vision du monde […].On trouve de tout dans HHhH : on y cite Tarantino, Chaplin, Bogart, les films de Fritz Lang et de Douglas Sirk. Philippe Labro, Le Figaro.

Two men have been enlisted to kill the head of the Gestapo. This is Operation Anthropoid, Prague, 1942: two Czechoslovakian parachutists sent on a daring mission by London to assassinate Reinhard Heydrich - chief of the Nazi secret services, 'the hangman of Prague', 'the blond beast', 'the most dangerous man in the Third Reich'. His boss is Heinrich Himmler but everyone in the SS says 'Himmler's brain is called Heydrich', which in German spells HHhH. HHhH is a panorama of the Third Reich told through the life of one outstandingly brutal man, a story of unbearable heroism and loyalty, revenge and betrayal. It is a moving and shattering work of fiction.

Beim Spaziergang durch Prag entdeckt Laurent Binet eine Gedenktafel fur tschechische Widerstandskampfer. Sie versteckten sich nach dem Attentat auf Reinhard Heydrich in einer Kirchenkrypta – bis ihre Verfolger, deutsche Soldaten, diese fluten lie?en. Binet ist so elektrisiert von dieser Begebenheit, dass er beschlie?t, nach Prag zu ziehen und ihr nachzugehen. Er schreibt die NS-Geschichte als Groteske und kommt dabei immer wieder auf seine Rolle als Nachforscher, Erzahler und Erfinder zuruck. Gibt es uberhaupt eine historische Wahrheit? Und wie kann man uber sie schreiben? Ausgezeichnet mit dem Prix Goncourt du Premier Roman.

«Il a rencontre Giscard a l'Elysee, a croise Foucault dans un sauna gay, a vu un homme en tuer un autre avec un parapluie empoisonne, a decouvert une societe secrete ou on coupe les doigts des perdants, a traverse l'Atlantique pour recuperer un mysterieux document. Il a vecu en quelques mois plus d'evenements extraordinaires qu'il aurait pense en vivre durant toute son existence. Simon sait reconnaitre du romanesque quand il en rencontre.» Roland Barthes meurt renverse par une camionnette le 25 fevrier 1980. Et s’il s’agissait d'un assassinat ? Dans les milieux intellectuel et politique de l'epoque, tout le monde est suspect. Jacques Bayard, commissaire de son etat, et Simon Herzog, jeune semiologue, menent l’enquete. Remarquable ! Francois Busnel, L’Express. On devore, entre rire et gourmandise intellectuelle. Fabienne Pascaud, Telerama. Fou, drole et etourdissant.Thomas Mahler, Le Point.

Roland Barthes is knocked down in a Paris street by a laundry van. It’s February 1980 and he has just come from lunch with Francois Mitterrand. Barthes dies soon afterwards. History tells us it was an accident. But what if it were an assassination? What if Barthes was carrying a document of unbelievable, global importance? A document explaining the seventh function of language – an idea so powerful it gives whoever masters it the ability to convince anyone, in any situation, to do anything. Police Captain Jacques Bayard and his reluctant accomplice Simon Herzog set off on a chase that takes them from the corridors of power to backstreet saunas and midnight meetings. What they discover is a worldwide conspiracy involving the President, murderous Bulgarians and a secret international debating society.

This new historical atlas - richly illustrated with photographs, artwork recreations and full-colour maps - explores the world's earliest civilisations from the first farming settlements of Mesopotamia, via Egypt, Greece and Rome, to the civilisations of the Far East, Europe and America. Informatively written, and ideal for both students and the general reader, it plots the rise and fall of empires, the nature of different societies and the evolution of technology.

Oscar is dead because I watched him die and did nothing. It is the end of August and the long summer holidays are drawing to a close. Seventeen-year-old Leonard is on a camping holiday with his family in the South of France. Awkward and ill at ease, he is an outsider who creeps away from parties unnoticed after a couple of drinks. On the final Friday of the trip, unable to sleep, Leonard goes for a walk and sees one of the boys from the campsite, Oscar, hanging from the rope of a playground swing. Leonard watches as the rope slowly strangles Oscar. Then, unable to think straight, he buries the body in the sand, and returns to his tent. The next day is the hottest in seventeen years. Disoriented by the oppressive heat, and distracted by his desire for a girl named Luce, Leonard spends the ensuing hours trying not to unravel. A literary sensation in France, Heatwave is an unsettling and evocative novel that examines our darkest impulses. Translated by Sam Taylor, translator of Lullaby by Leila Slimani, The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair by Joel Dicker and HHhH by Laurent Binet
