Loin: Suivi d'un entretien avec l'auteur
Par Alexis Michalik. 2019
« Comment avoir l'audace de prétendre être en vie si l'on vit sans oser ? » Tout commence par quelques…
mots griffonnés au dos d'une carte postale : « Je pense à vous, je vous aime ». Ils sont signés de Charles, le père d'Antoine, parti vingt ans plus tôt sans laisser d'adresse. Avec son meilleur ami, Laurent, apprenti journaliste, et Anna, sa jeune soeur complètement déjantée, Antoine part sur les traces de ce père fantôme. C'est l'affaire d'une semaine, pense-t-il... De l'ex-Allemagne de l'Est à la Turquie d'Atatürk, de la Géorgie de Staline à l'Autriche nazie, de rebondissements en coups de théâtre, les voici partis pour un road movie généalogique et chaotique à la recherche de leurs origines insoupçonnées. Alexis Michalik a décidément le goût de l'aventure : après le succès phénoménal d'Edmond, le comédien, metteur en scène et dramaturge couronné par cinq Molières, nous embarque à bord d'un premier roman virevoltant, drôle et exaltantThe naked woman: a study of the female body

Par Jane Yolen, Heidi E. Y. Stemple. 2013
From Jezebel to Catherine the Great, from Cleopatra to Mae West, from Mata Hari to Bonnie Parker, strong women have…
been a problem for historians, storytellers, and readers. Strong females smack of the unfeminine. They have been called wicked, wanton, and willful. Sometimes that is a just designation, but just as often it is not. "Well-behaved women seldom make history," is the frequently quoted statement by historian and feminist Laurel Thatcher Ulrich. But what makes these misbehaving women "bad"? Are we idolizing the wicked or salvaging the strong? In BAD GIRLS, readers meet twenty-six of history's most notorious women, each with a rotten reputation. But authors Jane Yolen and Heidi Stemple remind us that there are two sides to every story. Was Delilah a harlot or hero? Was Catherine the Great a great ruler, or just plain ruthless? At the end of each chapter, Yolen and Stemple appear as themselves in comic panels as they debate each girl's badness--Heidi as the prosecution, Jane for context. This unique and sassy examination of famed, female historical figures will engage readers with its unusual presentation of the subject matter. Heidi and Jane's strong arguments for the innocence and guilt of each bad girl promotes the practice of critical thinking as well as the idea that history is subjective. Rebecca Guay's detailed illustrations provide a rich, stylized portrait of each woman, while the inclusion of comic panels will resonate with fans of graphic novels.Los mares de Wang
Par Gabi Martínez. 2008
Un sorprendente viaje literario por la China actual Gabi Martínez narra el viaje que hizo por la costa china junto…
a su traductor Wang, un veinteañero del interior que jamás había visto el mar, y nos conduce en su periplo hasta las orillas de una realidad aparentemente remota, pero inevitablemente inmediata. Nos asoma a lo inminente a través de Wang, un chico educado en los valores comunistas que descubre una China tan inesperada que le perturba devastadoramente. Desde la frontera con Corea del Sur hasta Vietnam, Los mares de Wang nos muestra la vida en la región China que está cambiando el mundo. Del legado alemán en la olímpica Qingdao a la desbritanización de Hong Kong; de los casinos de Macao a los canales de Suzhou; de los rascacielos de Shanghai a las playas de la Isla de los Mares del Sur. Más allá de la mera observación, Gabi Martínez se acerca a la gente, se sumerge en los ambientes, acepta la compañía de los sujetos más extravagantes, alterna los más variados medios de transporte, frecuenta casinos y playas, para ofrecer un libro sincero, inteligente y profundo que nos aboca a una intensa reflexión sobre los aspectos más sustanciales de nuestra vida individual y colectiva. Un viaje que explica dos Chinas. O cómo un país estalló ante Wang.Jill Mansell's A-Z Of Happiness (An e-short)
