For too long, readers throughout the Federation have been exposed to The Tragedy of Khamlet, Son of the Emperor of Qo'nos, that classic work of Klingon(TM) literature, only through inadequate and misleading English translations. Now at last, thanks to the tireless efforts of the Klingon Language Institute, this powerful drama by the legendary Klingon playwright, Wil'yam Shex'pir, can be appreciated in the elegance and glory of its original tongue. This invaluable volume contains the complete text of the play, along with an English translation for easy consultation and comparison. In addition, an incisive introduction explains the play's crucial importance in Klingon culture, while copious notes illustrate how the debased English version diverges from the original, often distorting and even reversing the actual meaning of the verses.

L’invitation (The Party en VO) est un roman de la journaliste et écrivaine britannique Elizabeth Day, que j’ai découverte à cette occasion.

Le résumé m’avait tout de suite donné envie de lire ce roman, quand je l’avais découvert dans le catalogue de NetGalley :


Martin Gilmour ne s’est jamais vraiment senti à sa place. Mais en réussissant à décrocher une bourse pour la prestigieuse Burtonbury school, ce fils unique d’une mère célibataire sans le sou s’est vu ouvrir un monde auquel il n’aurait même jamais oser rêver : celui de l’aristocratie britannique. …

This was a fast paced graphic and gory end of the world tale complete with blood, guts, and cannibalism. The main characters are not your typical hero types but that just served to make the story even better. I was a little surprised by what seemed to be a very abrupt ending, until I realized this book is the first in a series.
