What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

L’île où se déroule cette histoire est depuis toujours soumise à un étrange phénomène : les choses et les êtres semblent promis à une sorte d’effacement diaboliquement orchestré. Quand un matin les oiseaux disparaissent à jamais, la jeune narratrice de ce livre ne s’épanche pas sur cet événement dramatique, le souvenir du chant d’un oiseau s’est évanoui tout comme celui de l’émotion que provoquaient en elle la beauté d’une fleur, la délicatesse d’un parfum, la mort d’un être cher. Après les animaux, les roses, les photographies, les calendriers et les livres, les humains semblent touchés : une partie de leur corps va les abandonner. En ces lieux demeurent pourtant de singuliers personnages. Habités de souvenirs, en proie à la nostalgie, ces êtres sont en danger. Traqués par les chasseurs de mémoires, ils font l’objet de rafles terrifiantes... Un magnifique roman, angoissant, kafkaïen. Une subtile métaphore des régimes totalitaires, à travers laquelle Yoko Ogawa explore les ravages de la peur et ceux de l’insidieux phénomène d’effacement des images, des souvenirs, qui peut conduire à accepter le pire.
