Les gens de bureau
Literature
5.0
«Les gens de bureau» est un récit plaisant et en même temps une une très bonne satyre de l'administration du XIX siècle. Ici vous pouvez trouver les parallèles à faire avec l'actuelle ou reconnaître quelques collègues dans les descriptions des fonctionnaires. Avec le portrait d'un jeune homme, Romain Caldas, Gaboriau réalise le portrait de différents types d'employés et de leurs misères. Est-ce que le travail dans l'administration publique a bien changé?

L'affaire Lerouge
Literature

Inspiré d'une histoire vraie.... Considéré comme le père du roman policier français, Émile Gaboriau s'inspire, comme il le fera dans d'autres récits, d'un fait divers dramatique qui défraya la chronique en 1865. Il y relate ainsi la trépidante enquête menée autour de l'assassinat de Célestine Lerouge, sauvagement égorgée dans le quartier de la place d'Italie, à Paris.
