Les héritiers du fleuve tome 4: 1931-1939 D’une rive à l’autre du Saint-Laurent, des familles attachantes aux destins entrecroisés voguent entre amitiés et rivalités, drames déchirants et bonheurs intenses. Dans ce quatrième et dernier tome, nous assistons aux bouleversements causés par la Crise de 1929. Touchant surtout les citadins comme Paul et Réginald, l’implacable réalité entraînera des choix difficiles et des situations précaires. À l’Anse-aux-Morilles, où les effets économiques de la crise se font moins sentir, Matthieu et Prudence doivent tout de même se réinventer un quotidien. De l’autre côté du fleuve, alors que Gilberte se bâtit doucement une vie sereine avec Célestin et Germain, la tragédie guette; Victoire, Lionel, James et Lysbeth ont beau être bien entourés, reste que les années passent et le dur labeur laisse des traces... Dans ce dénouement magistral, les personnages que nous avons tant aimés nous font leurs adieux, chacun à sa façon. Un ultime rendez-vous riche en émotions et en souvenirs impérissables. Avec plus de deux millions d’exemplaires vendus et trente-sept ouvrages publiés, dont les séries ultrapopulaires Les sœurs Deblois, Les années du silence et la saga en douze tomes Mémoires d’un quartier, Louise Tremblay-D’Essiambre s’est taillé une place incomparable dans le paysage littéraire québécois.

"The fantastic tale recounts the sixteen-year pilgrimage of the monk Hsuan-tsang (596-664), one of China's most illustrious religious heroes, who journeyed to India with four animal disciples in quest of Buddhist scriptures. For nearly a thousand years, his exploits were celebrated and embellished in various accounts, culminating in the hundred-chapter Journey to the West, which combines religious allegory with romance, fantasy, humor and satire."--Book cover.

These, including the original novel Jalna, were the books that first established the world of Jalna in the minds of readers and de la Roche herself, and set the stage for the twelve sequels and prequels that were to follow.

Book One in the classic conclusion to Frank Herbert's worldwide bestselling Dune Chronicles Hunters of Dune and the concluding volume, Sandworms of Dune, bring together the great story lines and beloved characters in Frank Herbert's classic Dune universe, ranging from the time of the Butlerian Jihad to the original Dune series and beyond. Based directly on Frank Herbert's final outline, which lay hidden in a safe-deposit box for a decade, these two volumes will finally answer the urgent questions Dune fans have been debating for two decades. At the end of Chapterhouse: Dune—Frank Herbert's final novel—a ship carrying the ghola of Duncan Idaho, Sheeana (a young woman who can control sandworms), and a crew of various refugees escapes into the uncharted galaxy, fleeing from the monstrous Honored Matres, dark counterparts to the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood. The nearly invincible Honored Matres have swarmed into the known universe, driven from their home by a terrifying, mysterious Enemy. As designed by the creative genius of Frank Herbert, the primary story of Hunters and Sandworms is the exotic odyssey of Duncan's no-ship as it is forced to elude the diabolical traps set by the ferocious, unknown Enemy. To strengthen their forces, the fugitives have used genetic technology from Scytale, the last Tleilaxu Master, to revive key figures from Dune's past—including Paul Muad'Dib and his beloved Chani, Lady Jessica, Stilgar, Thufir Hawat, and even Dr. Wellington Yueh. Each of these characters will use their special talents to meet the challenges thrown at them. Failure is unthinkable—not only is their survival at stake, but they hold the fate of the entire human race in their hands.

Heretics of Dune, the fifth installment in Frank Herbert's classic sci-fi series. On Arrakis, now called Rakis, known to legend as Dune, ten times ten centuries have passed. The planet is becoming desert again. The Lost Ones are returning home from the far reaches of space. The great sandworms are dying, and the Bene Gesserit and the Bene Tleilax struggle to direct the future of Dune. The children of Dune's children awaken as from a dream, wielding the new power of a heresy called love.

More than three thousand years have passed since the first events recorded in Frank Herbert's DUNE. Only one link survives with those tumultuous times: the grotesque figure of Leto Atreides, son of the prophet Paul Muad'Dib, and now the virtually immortal God Emperor of Dune. He alone understands the future, and he knows with a terrible certainty that the evolution of his race is at an end unless he can breed new qualities into his species. But to achieve his final victory, Leto Atreides must also bring about his own downfall . . .
