Summary:
   

Golden Globe nominee Scarlett Johansson (Lost in Translation, Girl with a Pearl Earring) brings a palpable sense of joy and exuberance to her performance of Lewis Carroll's enduring classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. From the White Rabbit and Mad Hatter to the Cheshire Cat and Queen of Hearts, she imbues each madcap character with a distinct voice and personality that will leave a lasting impression long after the adventure is over.

One hundred and fifty years after its original publication, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland remains one of the most widely read, deconstructed, referenced, and reinterpreted works of Western fiction. It tells the story of the young and imaginative Alice, who grows weary of her storybook, one "without pictures or conversations", and follows a hasty hare underground - to come face to face with a host of strange and fantastic characters.

"Dear You : épisode 1" de Emily Blaine lu par Jessica Monceau ©Editions Audiolib.

Bienvenue au Peninsula, un palace de rêve au cœur de la ville qui ne dort jamais. C’est là qu’officie Kathleen, dont la mission, en tant qu’hôtesse d’accueil, est de satisfaire toutes les demandes de ses prestigieux clients. Pour la plupart d’entre eux, elle est transparente – mais pas pour Andrew Blake. Dès son arrivée à l’hôtel, ce magnat de la presse, secret et extrêmement charismatique, semble s’intéresser de très près à Kat. Depuis qu’elle occupe ce poste, c’est la première fois qu’on la remarque. Si elle se sent d’abord flattée, très vite, cette attention soudaine la déstabilise. Il faut dire que les exigences de son nouveau client sont plutôt troublantes…
