Cora Seaborne, jeune veuve férue de paléontologie, quitte Londres en compagnie de son fils Francis et de sa nourrice Martha pour s’installer à Aldwinter, dans l’Essex, où elle se lie avec le pasteur William Ransome et sa famille. Elle s’intéresse à la rumeur qui met tout le lieu en émoi : le Serpent de l’Essex, monstre marin aux allures de dragon apparu deux siècles plus tôt, aurait-il ressurgi de l’estuaire du Blackwater ? Dans un cadre marqué par une brume traversée d’étranges lumières, Cora Seaborne construit sa liberté. En cette fin d’ère victorienne dont les problèmes sociaux ne doivent pas faire oublier les triomphes, nous suivons, au gré de leurs aventures et de leur correspondance, des hommes qui s’acceptent tels qu’ils devraient être, des femmes qui découvrent devoir être ce qu’elles sont et un monstre effroyable qui redevient ce qu’il était. « Un roman irrésistible... L’héroïne la plus délicieuse depuis Elizabeth Bennet dans Orgueil et Préjugés... Vers la fin, le Serpent de l’Essex révèle un mystère bien plus grand qu’une créature “détachée des marges enluminées d’un manuscrit” : l’amitié. » Washington Post « Le Serpent de l’Essex est un merveilleux roman sur les mécanismes de la vie, de la croyance et de l’amour, sur la science et la religion, les secrets, les mystères, les mouvements compliqués et inattendus du cœur humain... C’est un si bon roman que ses pages semblent illuminées de l’intérieur. » Helen Macdonald

London, 1893. When Cora Seaborne's controlling husband dies, she steps into her new life as a widow with as much relief as sadness. Along with her son Francis - a curious, obsessive boy - she leaves town for Essex, in the hope that fresh air and open space will provide refuge. On arrival, they hear rumours that the mythical Essex Serpent, once said to roam the marshes claiming lives, has returned to the coastal parish of Aldwinter. Cora, a keen amateur naturalist, is enthralled, convinced that what the locals think is a magical beast may be a yet-undiscovered species. As she sets out on its trail, she is introduced to William Ransome, Aldwinter's vicar, who is also deeply suspicious of the rumours, but thinks they are a distraction from true faith. As he tries to calm his parishioners, Will and Cora strike up an intense relationship, and although they agree on absolutely nothing, they find themselves at once drawn together and torn apart, affecting each other in ways that surprise them both.

What characterizes the relationship between literature and the state? Should literature serve the needs of the state by constructing national consciousness, espousing state propaganda, and molding good citizens? Or should it be dedicated to a different kind of creative social endeavor? In this important book about literature and the politics of nation-building, Dominic Thomas assesses the contributions of Francophone African writers whose works have played a key role in the recent transition to democracy in the Congo. Exploring the works of Sony Labou Tansi, Henri Lopes, and Emmanuel Dongala, among others, Thomas highlights writers intimately involved with government and politics -- whether in support of the state's vision or with the intention of articulating a more open view of citizens and society. Focusing on themes such as collaboration, reconciliation, identity, history, and memory, Nation-Building, Propaganda, and Literature in Francophone Africa elaborates a broader understanding of the circumstances of African colonization, modern African nation-state formation, and the complex cultural dynamics at work in Africa since independence.

The debut novel by the bestselling author of THE ESSEX SERPENT One hot summer's day, John Cole decides to leave his life behind. He shuts up the bookshop no one ever comes to and drives out of London. When his car breaks down and he becomes lost on an isolated road, he goes looking for help, and stumbles into the grounds of a grand but dilapidated house. Its residents welcome him with open arms - but there's more to this strange community than meets the eye. They all know him by name, they've prepared a room for him, and claim to have been waiting for him all along. Who are these people? And what do they intend for John? Elegant, gently sinister and psychologically complex, After Me Comes the Flood is the haunting debut novel by the author of The Essex Serpent.
