Livres de Elizabeth Gilbert
À trente et un ans, Elizabeth Gilbert possède tout ce dont une américaine ambitieuse peut rêver : un mari dévoué, une belle maison, une carrière prometteuse. Elle devrait nager dans le bonheur, pourtant elle est rongée par l'angoisse, le doute, l'insatisfaction...
S'ensuivent un divorce, une dépression et une liaison désastreuse qui la laissent exsangue et encore plus désemparée. Elle décide de tout plaquer pour partir seule à travers le monde.
À elle de se construire la vie qu'elle s'est choisie !
En Italie, elle goûte aux délices de la dolce vita et prend les "douze kilos les plus heureux de sa vie", en Inde, ashram et rigueur ascétique l'aident à discipliner son esprit (lever à 4 heures du matin, méditation et nettoyage des sols !) et en Indonésie, elle cherche à réconcilier son corps et son âme pour trouver l'équilibre qu'on appelle le bonheur...
Elisabeth Gilbert nous invite à un voyage vers l'inconnu joyeux et émouvant, libéré des mascarades et faux-semblants. Àtravers une mosaïque d'émotions et d'expériences culturelles, elle a su conquérir le coeur de millions de lectrices qui ont aimé pleurer et rire avec elle. Et qui rêvent de changer de vie, elles aussi.

À leurs côtés et au contact des éminents chercheurs qui gravitent autour d’eux, Alma acquiert une intelligence éclectique et la passion de la botanique. En grandissant, elle se passionne pour les mousses puis pour Ambrose Pike, illustrateur de génie. Comme elle, il cherche à percer les secrets de l’univers mais, à la logique scientifique d’Alma, il préfère une pensée ésotérique ; un fossé qui les éloignera inexorablement et poussera enfin Alma à partir à la découverte du vaste monde. Alors que les terra incognita s’amenuisent de jour en jour, Alma explore les continents, la nature, la société dans laquelle elle vit et son propre corps – de l’infiniment grand à l’infiniment petit.
Des bas-fonds de Londres en passant par Philadelphie, Tahiti ou les cimes des Andes, Elizabeth Gilbert nous raconte le siècle kaléidoscopique qui voit jaillir l’esprit des Lumières. Sa plume est vive, insolente, savante et non dénuée de romantisme : à l’image de son héroïne.
From the # 1 New York Times bestselling author of Eat Pray Love and The Signature of All Things, a delicious novel of glamour, sex, and adventure, about a young woman discovering that you don't have to be a good girl to be a good person.

Beloved author Elizabeth Gilbert returns to fiction with a unique love story set in the New York City theater world during the 1940s. Told from the perspective of an older woman as she looks back on her youth with both pleasure and regret (but mostly pleasure), City of Girls explores themes of female sexuality and promiscuity, as well as the idiosyncrasies of true love.
In 1940, nineteen-year-old Vivian Morris has just been kicked out of Vassar College, owing to her lackluster freshman-year performance. Her affluent parents send her to Manhattan to live with her Aunt Peg, who owns a flamboyant, crumbling midtown theater called the Lily Playhouse. There Vivian is introduced to an entire cosmos of unconventional and charismatic characters, from the fun-chasing showgirls to a sexy male actor, a grand-dame actress, a lady-killer writer, and no-nonsense stage manager. But when Vivian makes a personal mistake that results in professional scandal, it turns her new world upside down in ways that it will take her years to fully understand. Ultimately, though, it leads her to a new understanding of the kind of life she craves - and the kind of freedom it takes to pursue it. It will also lead to the love of her life, a love that stands out from all the rest.
Now eighty-nine years old and telling her story at last, Vivian recalls how the events of those years altered the course of her life - and the gusto and autonomy with which she approached it. "At some point in a woman's life, she just gets tired of being ashamed all the time," she muses. "After that, she is free to become whoever she truly is." Written with a powerful wisdom about human desire and connection, City of Girls is a love story like no other.
Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat Pray Love touched the world and changed countless lives, inspiring and empowering millions of readers to search for their own best selves. Now, this beloved and iconic book returns in a beautiful 10th anniversary edition, complete with an updated introduction from the author, to launch a whole new generation of fans.
In her early thirties, Elizabeth Gilbert had everything a modern American woman was supposed to want—husband, country home, successful career—but instead of feeling happy and fulfilled, she was consumed by panic and confusion. This wise and rapturous book is the story of how she left behind all these outward marks of success, and set out to explore three different aspects of her nature, against the backdrop of three different cultures: pleasure in Italy, devotion in India, and on the Indonesian island of Bali, a balance between worldly enjoyment and divine transcendence.
In The Signature of All Things, Elizabeth Gilbert returns to fiction, inserting her inimitable voice into an enthralling story of love, adventure and discovery. Spanning much of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the novel follows the fortunes of the extraordinary Whittaker family as led by the enterprising Henry Whittaker—a poor-born Englishman who makes a great fortune in the South American quinine trade, eventually becoming the richest man in Philadelphia. Born in 1800, Henry’s brilliant daughter, Alma (who inherits both her father’s money and his mind), ultimately becomes a botanist of considerable gifts herself. As Alma’s research takes her deeper into the mysteries of evolution, she falls in love with a man named Ambrose Pike who makes incomparable paintings of orchids and who draws her in the exact opposite direction—into the realm of the spiritual, the divine, and the magical. Alma is a clear-minded scientist; Ambrose a utopian artist—but what unites this unlikely couple is a desperate need to understand the workings of this world and the mechanisms behind all life.
Exquisitely researched and told at a galloping pace, The Signature of All Things soars across the globe—from London to Peru to Philadelphia to Tahiti to Amsterdam, and beyond. Along the way, the story is peopled with unforgettable characters: missionaries, abolitionists, adventurers, astronomers, sea captains, geniuses, and the quite mad. But most memorable of all, it is the story of Alma Whittaker, who—born in the Age of Enlightenment, but living well into the Industrial Revolution—bears witness to that extraordinary moment in human history when all the old assumptions about science, religion, commerce, and class were exploding into dangerous new ideas. Written in the bold, questing spirit of that singular time, Gilbert’s wise, deep, and spellbinding tale is certain to capture the hearts and minds of readers.

The #1 New York Times bestselling follow-up to Eat Pray Love—an intimate and erudite celebration of love from the author of Big Magic and City of Girls.
Du haut de ses 19 ans, Vivian sait déjà qu’elle ne veut pas du destin tout tracé par ses parents. Mais de sa bulle protégée, elle est loin de s’imaginer le tourbillon incroyable qu’est New York au début des années 1940. Alors, quand après un énième échec scolaire elle est envoyée chez sa tante Peg qui possède un théâtre en plein Times Square, Vivian n’en croit pas ses yeux. Entre la ville qui vibre sans cesse et la troupe d’artistes et de danseuses qui cohabitent joyeusement dans le théâtre, Vivian découvre l’exubérance, la fête et la liberté. Surtout auprès de sa nouvelle amie Celia, une sublime showgirl très émancipée pour l’époque… Mais un faux pas lors d’une virée nocturne fera hélas chavirer le nouveau monde de Vivian et la renverra à la case départ. Quand on a goûté au bonheur d’être une fille libre,
peut-on y renoncer ?
'Gilbert takes us on a grit-strewn ride into the heart of Country and Western territory: good old boys, cowgirls, dingy bars, the backwaters and empty plains of America' - Sunday Times
'The heroes of Pilgrims, Elizabeth Gilbert's gimmickless story collection, are everyday seekers...This first-time writer has all the hallmarks of a great writer: sympathy, wit, and an amazing ear for dialogue' - Harper's Bazaar
_______________
The very first book by the multimillion-copy bestselling author of Eat Pray Love: A memorable collection of short stories of individuals pursuing their own American pilgrimage
The cowboys, strippers, labourers and magicians of Pilgrims are all on their way to being somewhere, or someone, else. Some are browbeaten and world-weary, others are deluded and naïve, yet all seek companionship as fiercely as they can. A tough East Coast girl dares a western cowboy to run off with her; a matronly bar owner falls in love with her nephew; an innocent teenager falls hopelessly for the local bully's sister.
These are tough heroes and heroines, hardened by their experiences, who struggle for their epiphanies. Yet hope is never far away and though they may act blindly, they always act bravely. Sharply drawn and tenderly observed, Pilgrims is filled with Gilbert's inimitable humour and warmth.
