描述
From the critically-acclaimed author of The Downstairs Girl comes the richly imagined story of Valora and Jamie Luck, twin British-Chinese acrobats traveling aboard the Titanic on its ill-fated maiden voyage. Valora Luck has two things: a ticket for the biggest and most luxurious ocean liner in the world, and a dream of leaving England behind and making a life for herself as a circus performer in New York. Much to her surprise though, she's turned away at the gangway; apparently, Chinese aren't allowed into America. But Val has to get on that ship. Her twin brother Jamie, who has spent two long years at sea, is there, as is an influential circus owner, whom Val hopes to audition for. Thankfully, there's not much a trained acrobat like Val can't overcome when she puts her mind to it. As a stowaway, Val should keep her head down and stay out of sight. But the clock is ticking and she has just seven days as the ship makes its way across the Atlantic to find Jamie, perform for the circus owner, and convince him to help get them both into America. Then one night the unthinkable happens, and suddenly Val's dreams of a new life are crushed under the weight of the only thing that matters: survival

备用描述
Dans cette série d'essais visant à retracer l'évolution des attitudes devant la mort de l'homme occidental, Philippe Ariès se situe à la limite du biologique et du culturel, au niveau de l'inconscient collectif. L'ouvrage commence à l'époque du Moyen Âge, au temps de la "mort apprivoisée", où aucune crainte n'accompagnait son spectacle chez les vivants et où le cimetière servait souvent de lieu de sociabilité, de danse et de commerce. Puis, l'art et la littérature des débuts de l'époque moderne commencent à associer Éros et Thanatos, dans une complaisance extrême à l'égard de la souffrance et de la mort, jusqu'à ce que le romantisme ne laisse subsister que la seule beauté sublimée du mort, en la dépouillant de ses connotations érotiques. Au tournant du XVIIIe et du XIXe siècle, commence alors ce vaste mouvement de refoulement qui mène jusqu'à nous, où la mort se voit frappée d'interdit, n'étant plus que très rarement représentée. --Hervé Mazurelwww.amazon.fr
备用描述
Southampton, 1912. British-Chinese Valora Luck smuggles herself aboard the Titanic with two goals: to reunite with her twin brother Jamie, and to convince a part-owner of the Ringling Brothers Circus to take the twins on as acrobats. Val talks her way into opulent first-class accommodations and finds Jamie with a group of fellow Chinese laborers in third class. But in the rigidly stratified world of the luxury liner, Val's ruse can only last so long, and after two long years apart, it is unclear if Jamie even wants the life Val proposes. When the supposedly unsinkable ship is dealt a fatal blow, Val and her companions are in a race to survive. -- Adapted from Goodreads information
