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.

En 1990, au Japon, Amélie est engagée comme interprète chez Yumimoto, une entreprise d'import-export. Elle pense que son rêve de vivre comme une Japonaise va pouvoir se réaliser. Mais, très vite, elle sent bien que la réalité du système Yumimoto obéit à d'autres lois que celles de son désir. Stupeur et Tremblements est le récit rétrospectif d'une expérience d'aliénation vécue par Amélie Nothomb au sein d'une entreprise japonaise. L'auteur a choisi de traiter cet épisode romanesque sur un mode humoristique, parfois ironique amenant ainsi le lecteur à rire d'événements pourtant traumatiques. Comment l'individu peut-il réagir au processus d'humiliation mené par un groupe ? Comment gérer la violence et la folie de l'Autre ? Comment leur résister avec les mots ? Autant de questions que les élèves pourront approfondir, tout en réfléchissant aux différents modes de l'expression de soi (récit, monologues intérieurs, dialogues argumentatifs) et au travail du style. L'ouvrage propose également un regard sur l'adaptation cinématographique d'Alain Corneau, suivi d'une interview exclusive d'Amélie Nothomb et de Sylvie Testud.
