A memoir from one of the most admired players in baseball, the captain of the New York Mets, David Wright David Wright played his entire Major League Baseball career for one team, the team he dreamed of playing for as a kid: the New York Mets. A quick fan favorite from Virginia who then earned his stripes in New York, Wright came back time and again from injury and demonstrated the power of hard work, total commitment, and an infinite love of the game. Wright’s stats are one thing. He was a seven-time All-Star, a two-time Gold Glove Award winner, and a two-time Silver Slugger Award winner. He holds many Mets franchise records and was nicknamed "Captain America" after his performance in the 2013 World Baseball Classic. But there is more: The walk-offs. The Barehand. The Subway Series and World Series home runs. And the electricity that swept through Shea Stadium then Citi Field whenever number 5, “the Captain,” was in the game.
Ce n'est qu'au réveil qu'ils s'en sont rendus compte. Le monde déserté. Vidé de sa population. Famille, proches, voisins, tous ont disparu. Volatilisés. Ils ne sont qu'une poignée, disséminés à travers le pays. Oubliés, rescapés, moins que vivants... ils n'ont aucune idée de ce qu'ils sont. De ce qui s'est passé. Ils cherchent ceux qu'ils aiment, des réponses à des questions qu'ils ne connaissent même pas. Mais ils ne sont pas seuls. Quelque chose les observe. Et attend. Avant de comprendre, ils vont devoir survivre.

'The Canterbury Tales', compiled in the late fourteenth century, is an incisive portrait, infused with Chaucer's wry wit and vibrant, poetical language. He evokes a spestrum of colourful characters, from the bawdy Wife of Bath to the gallant Knight, the fastidious Prioress and the burly, drunken Miller. As they wend their way from Southwark to Canterbury, tales are told to pass the time, and the stories are as diverse as the narrators, encompassing themes such as adultery, revenge, courtly love, lechery, avarice and penitence. As humorous today as when it was written over six centuries ago, 'The Canterbury Tales' remains one of the most popular and enjoyable of the classic works of literature.
