Daniel Handler Ordre des livres (chronologique)

A bold, candid, vulnerable, and entertaining memoir of a literary life by the writer otherwise known as Lemony Snicket.?

This is the second volume in a new series of collaborations between artist Maira Kalman, writer Daniel Handler (a.k.a. Lemony Snicket), and The Museum of Modern Art, New York. This time a whimsical collection of images captures people in motion--or not. In snapshots by some of the world's most celebrated photographers, some people stride forth, dash across streets, race on bicycles, and jump over puddles, while others form snaking lines, daydream on park benches, and linger on sidewalks with friends.

Sixteen-year-old Min Green writes a letter to Ed Slaterton in which she breaks up with him, documenting their relationship and how items in the accompanying box, from bottle caps to a cookbook, foretell the end.

'Adverbs' is a novel about love - a bunch of different people, in and out of different kinds of love.

Want to dress like the Pope? Well, why not? After all, the Pope is one of the most important people in the world, and gets invited to state dinners and stuff like that, and lives in an ornate place called the Vatican. You, meanwhile, are often dressed like a slob, and spend your days serving coleslaw. (Note: the last part of the preceding sentence applies only to coleslaw servers.) At long last, the Pope presents a book teaching you how to dress for every occasion, called How To Dress For Every Occasion. Get ready, get set, get into snappy dressing!

Imagine what a dictionary might look like about thirty years hence, when all of the world's problems are solved and our current dictionaries are a distant memory. Dave Eggers, Jonathan Safran Foer and Nicole Krauss have lined up an incredible array of writers to bring you that futuristic dictionary and a vision of the world as it might be. Think of it as a dictionary of language for describing what the future could look like a dictionary that is both useful and romantic, hopeful and necessary, pragmatic and idealistic, and frequently funny. This is science fiction but with a difference.

Lemony Sniket prohlásil, že tato kniha je velmi nebezpečná. „Kdyby vás s tímto podezřelým rukopisem spatřili nesprávní lidé, mohlo by to pro vás mít nedozírné následky. Proto je kniha z bezpečnostních důvodů opatřena oboustrannou obálkou. Co nejrychleji ji tedy přebalte. Tato kamufláž totiž může být vaší jedinou nadějí“.

Cher lecteur, Si tu cherches une lecture gentille, je crains que tu n'aies pas pris le bon livre. Le récit que voici fait sourire au début: un oncle fantaisiste, des reptiles fascinants... Hélas! ce début est trompeur, et les orphelins Baudelaire vont connaître bien des misères: une odeur détestable, un serpent venimeux, un accident de voiture, un cadenas rétif et le retour d'une personne qu'ils espéraient bien ne plus jamais revoir. Je me suis juré quant à moi de relater ces tragiques évènements, mais libre à toi, cher lecteur, de refermer ce volume et de choisir quelque chose de plus drôle. Avec mes sentiments respectueux, Lemony Snicket
