Par Dominique Jamet. 2008
"Il y a des mots qui portent celui qui les prononce et ceux qui les entendent au-dessus et au-delà d'eux-mêmes.…
Il y a des discours qui changent le cours des événements, le destin d'un pays, l'histoire du monde, l'âme humaine... Les hommes tombent et disparaissent. Leurs paroles survivent et éclairent leur tombeau comme une flamme éternelle. Et ce sont ceux que l'on a fait taire qui nous parlent le plus fort, écrit Dominique Jamet. Conquérir les foules et, qui sait, modifier le cours de l'Histoire : de Jean Jaurès au 14e dalaï-lama, les grands hommes ont dû recourir au souffle du verbe pour éveiller les consciences, frapper les imaginations, emporter l'adhésion. Quarante ans après l'assassinat de Martin Luther King, Dominique Jamet, journaliste et écrivain, ancien président de la Bibliothèque nationale de France, présente et commente vingt discours qui ont marqué le XXe siècle. Vingt morceaux d'éloquence signés Jaurès, Wilson, Gandhi, Roosevelt, Churchill, de Gaulle, Kennedy, Luther King, Che Guevara, Allende, Sadate, Badinter, Mitterrand, Jean Paul II, Arafat, Mandela, Chirac, Rabin ou encore Tenzin Gyatso, l'actuel dalaï-lama." -- 4e de couvAward-winning playwright, screenwriter, and director David Mamet shares scandalous and laugh-out-loud tales from his four decades in Hollywood where he…
worked with some of the biggest names in movies. David Mamet went to Hollywood on top—a super successful playwright summoned west in 1980 to write a vehicle for Jack Nicholson. He arrived just in time to meet the luminaries of old Hollywood and revel in the friendship of giants like Paul Newman, Mike Nichols, Bob Evans, and Sue Mengers. Over the next forty years, Mamet wrote dozens of scripts, was fired off dozens of movies, and directed eleven himself. In Everywhere an Oink Oink , he revels of the taut and gag-filled professionalism of the film set. He depicts the ever-fickle studios and producers who piece by piece eat the artist alive. And he ponders the art of filmmaking and the genius of those who made our finest movies. With the bravado and flair of Mamet's best theatrical work, this memoir describes a world gone by, some of our most beloved film stars with their hair down, and how it all got washed away by digital media and the woke brigade. The book is illustrated throughout with three-dozen of Mamet's pungent cartoons and caricaturesManipulating the message: How powerful forces shape the news
Par Cecil Rosner. 2023
Journalists hate the term fake news, but there's a troubling reality: spin doctors routinely try to dupe them into reporting…
misleading and distorted stories. Check the news on any given day and here's what you'll find: Governments routinely lie. Companies inflate claims about their products and practices. Institutions release studies with misleading data meant to deceive. Police departments, infected by systemic racism, downplay crimes against Indigenous and racialized people. The public depends on the media to help them understand the world, but are journalists catching all the daily lies, omissions, and distortions? Shrinking newsrooms and an army of spin doctors mean journalists can get duped. Despite valiant efforts by a handful of investigative journalists, the truth is routinely left behind. Award-winning journalist Cecil Rosner insists there is something we can do about this. We can pressure news organizations to stop blindly regurgitating the firehose of press releases and focus instead on determining what is actually true. Rosner empowers listeners by sharing his techniques for detecting misinformation and disinformation"This is the only book for writers that: 1) Motivates readers to change their writing habits by telling the truth…

"An affecting, singular story...a bracing tale of life on the edge of death." —Kirkus Reviews When veteran war reporter Benjamin…
Hall woke up in Kyiv on the morning of March 14, 2022, he had no idea that, within hours, Russian bombs would nearly end his life. As a journalist for Fox News, Hall had worked in dangerous war zones like Syria and Afghanistan, but with three young daughters at home, life on the edge was supposed to be a thing of the past. Yet when Russia viciously attacked Ukraine in February 2022, Hall quickly volunteered to go. A few weeks later, while on assignment, Hall and his crew were blown up in a Russian strike. With Hall himself gravely injured and stuck in Kyiv, it was unclear if he would make it out alive. This is the story of how he survived—a story that continues to this day. For the first time, Hall shares his experience in full—from his ground-level view of the war to his dramatic rescue to his arduous, and ongoing, recovery. Going inside the events that have permanently transformed him, Hall recalls his time at the front lines of our world's conflicts, exploring how his struggle to step away from war reporting led him back one perilous last time. Featuring nail-biting accounts from the many people across multiple countries who banded together to get him to safety, Hall offers a stunning look at complex teamwork and heartfelt perseverance that turned his life into a mission. Through it all, Hall's spirit has remained undaunted, buoyed by that remarkable corps of people from around the world whose collective determination ensured his survival. Evocative, harrowing, and deeply moving, Saved is a powerful memoir of family and friends, of life and healing, and of how to respond when you are tested in ways you never thought possibleDe l'autre côté du trou noir (Mammouth rock)
