3 editions published in 2008 in English and held by 1,909 libraries worldwide A down-and-out silver miner raising a son, self-made oilman Daniel Plainview has a voracious appetite for oil and it turns him into a California tycoon in the early years of the 20th century. Getting the oil from the ground is an intensely physical process that later broadens into Plainview's equally indomitable urge to control land and power. Along the way, Plainview deals with a mighty derrick fire, a visit from a long-lost brother, the ongoing involvement of Plainview's poker-faced adoptive son, and Plainview's rivalry with Eli Sunday, the local preacher.

Pleasantville

)
1 edition published in 1999 in English and held by 1,152 libraries worldwide Twin siblings David and Jennifer couldn't be more different: she curses, smokes, and sleeps around; David is a prototypical nerdy outcast. Then, one dark and stormy night, they're sucked into the TV and Pleasantville: a perfect suburban Disneyland suffused with church-social niceness and Rotary Club boosterism. Jennifer despises it all. So, like a pint-size Lauren Bacall, she refuses to play the role of poodle-skirted good girl and introduces one of the boys to sex, after which this bland, black and white world magically begins changing into color. Through the combined forces of sex and rock 'n' roll, it becomes clear that the things that make life worth living--passion, knowledge, and love--are far removed from safety, stability, and bland sterility. Before too long, the whole town is wondering: what's outside Pleasantville?

5 editions published between 2005 and 2008 in English and held by 30 libraries worldwide "Au début du 20e s., Daniel Plainview entend parler d'une petite ville de Californie où l'on dit qu'un océan de pétrole coulerait littéralement du sol, il décide d'aller tenter sa chance et part avec son fils H.W. à Little Boston. Dans cet endroit perdu où chacun lutte pour survivre et où l'unique distraction est l'église animée par le charismatique prêtre Eli Sunday, Plainview et son fils voient le sort leur sourire. Même si le pétrole comble leurs attentes et fait leur fortune, plus rien ne sera comme avant : les tensions s'intensifient, les conflits éclatent et les valeurs humaines comme l'amour, l'espoir, le sens de la communauté, les croyances, l'ambition et même les liens entre père et fils sont mis en péril par la corruption, la trahison... et le pétrole."
