a master raconteur—by turns dramatic and funny, charming, tart and melancholy." – Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times The New York Times bestselling memoir from John le Carré, the legendary author of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy ; The Spy Who Came in from the Cold ; and The Night Manager , now an Emmy-nominated television series starring Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie. From his years serving in British Intelligence during the Cold War, to a career as a writer that took him from war-torn Cambodia to Beirut on the cusp of the 1982 Israeli invasion to Russia before and after the collapse of the Berlin Wall, le Carré has always written from the heart of modern times. In this, his first memoir, le Carré is as funny as he is incisive, reading into the events he witnesses the same moral ambiguity with which he imbues his novels. Whether he's writing about the parrot at a Beirut hotel that could perfectly mimic machine gun fire or the opening bars of Beethoven’s Fifth; visiting Rwanda’s museums of the unburied dead in the aftermath of the genocide; celebrating New Year’s Eve 1982 with Yasser Arafat and his high command; interviewing a German woman terrorist in her desert prison in the Negev; listening to the wisdoms of the great physicist, dissident, and Nobel Prize winner Andrei Sakharov; meeting with two former heads of the KGB; watching Alec Guinness prepare for his role as George Smiley in the legendary BBC TV adaptations of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and Smiley’s People ; or describing the female aid worker who inspired the main character in The Constant Gardener , le Carré endows each happening with vividness and humor, now making us laugh out loud, now inviting us to think anew about events and people we believed we understood. Best of all, le Carré gives us a glimpse of a writer’s journey over more than six decades, and his own hunt for the human spark that has given so much life and heart to his fictional charactersLes sentiments c'est quoi?

Par Michel Chartrand. 1997
Michel Chartrand/Les dires d'un homme de parole est composé d'extraits de discours et d'entrevues qui s'échelonnent sur près de trente…
ans de vie syndicale active. Ces textes, ces réflexions, ces discours témoignent d'une même volonté, parfois provocatrice, de dénoncer la bêtise et l'injustice où qu'elles soient. Michel Chartrand est un des plus anciens leaders syndicaux du Québec. Depuis qu'il milite en faveur des plus démunis de la société, les gouvernements se sont succédé, les uns ont été remplacés par d'autres, parfois plus progressistes, et ses propos demeurent toujours d'actualité. Ce qu'il dénonçait durant les années soixante - l'appauvrissement des classes populaires, le gaspillage et la dilapidation honteuse de nos richesses, l'insécurité des travailleurs, le manque de prévoyance des grands patrons d'industrie - doit toujours l'être aujourd'hui. Et ce qu'il prônait hier - la justice sociale, la solidarité entre les humains, la liberté d'expression - fait encore partie des grandes priorités de l'heure. fernand_foisy_1997Ces paroles d'un homme qui a aujourd'hui atteint une maturité et une sérénité exemplaires ne manqueront pas d'en étonner plus d'un. Cet anarchiste aux propos redoutables, comme le qualifie Pierre Vadeboncœur, en préface, ce mousquetaire solitaire à la moustache grisonnante, qui est aux antipodes des nouveaux gourous sollicités à gauche et à droite, cet humaniste engagé qui, à quatre-vingts ans, a encore la force de s'indigner et de dire NON, parfois tendrement, parfois « outrageusement », nous indique que les ciels changent souvent de couleur, mais qu'il n'y a pas de plus beau spectacle que celui d'un homme libre. Fernand Foisy, qui a pendant plusieurs années compilé ces textes, a été secrétaire général du Conseil central de la CSN de 1968 à 1974. Il a ensuite travaillé aux côtés de Michel Chartrand à la Caisse populaire des syndicats nationaux de Montréal et à la Fondation pour l'aide aux travailleuses et travailleurs accidentés (FATA). Il prépare actuellement une biographie de Michel Chartrand.Le judaïsme dans la vie quotidienne (Espaces libres)

Par Ronald Drabkin. 2024
In the spirit of Ben Macintyre's greatest spy nonfiction, the truly unbelievable and untold story of Frederick Rutland—a debonair British…
WWI hero, flying ace, fixture of Los Angeles society, and friend of Golden Age Hollywood stars—who flipped to become a spy for Japan in the lead-up to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Frederick Rutland was an accomplished aviator, British WWI war hero, and real-life James Bond. He was the first pilot to take off and land a plane on a ship, a decorated warrior for his feats of bravery and rescue, was trusted by the admirals of the Royal Navy, had a succession of aeronautical inventions, and designed the first modern aircraft carrier. He was perhaps the most famous early twentieth-century naval aviator. Despite all of this, and due mostly to class politics, Rutland was not promoted in the new Royal Air Force in the wake of WWI. This ignominy led the disgruntled Rutland to become a spy for the Japanese navy. Plied with riches and given a salary ten times the highest-paid admiral, shuttled between Los Angeles and Tokyo where he lived in large mansions in both Beverly Hills and Yokohama, and insinuating himself into both LA high society and Japan's high command, Rutland would go on to contribute to the Japanese navy with both strategic and technical intelligence. This included scouting trips to Pearl Harbor, investigations of military preparedness, and aircraft technology. All this while living a double life, frequenting private California clubs and hosting lavish affairs for Hollywood stars and military dignitaries in his mansion on the Los Angeles Bird Streets. Supported by recently declassified FBI files and by incorporating unique and rare research through MI5 and Japanese Naval archives that few English speakers have access to, author Ronald Drabkin pieces together to completion, for the first time, this stranger-than-fiction story of one of the most fascinating and enigmatic characters of espionage history.

of the 78 cards of the Tarot to its deepest meaning, the one closest to its spiritual core • Reveals how the Tarot offers a hands-on way to learn multiple spiritual practices and metaphysical systems, including numerology, astrology, psychology, and Kabbalistic wisdom • Details how to use the Tarot to calculate the numerological value of names, words, and dates, including birthdays, to reveal their metaphysical significance As John Sandbach illuminates in depth, the Tarot is a portal to realms of wisdom. It not only can provide deep insight through traditional readings but also offers a hands-on way to learn multiple spiritual practices and metaphysical systems, each interrelated through numbers and the ways the systems are worked with to reveal cosmic truths. In this guide, Sandbach explores the deep interconnected meanings of each of the 78 cards of the Tarot and explains how to work with the cards for spiritual healing and growth as well as to synergistically learn other methods of spiritual insight, in particular numerology and astrology. Connecting the traditional, symbolic, psychological, alchemical, astrological, and numerological meanings of each card to its deepest meaning, the one closest to its spiritual core, he shows how exploring the interconnected meanings of the cards allows you to understand the Tarot as an integrated whole and enables you to provide insightful and deeply intuitive readings. He explains how every card is connected to the Tree of Life, an ancient Kabbalistic diagram of the universe, and details how to use the Tarot to calculate the numerological value of names, words, and dates, including birthdays, to reveal their metaphysical significance. He explores the connections between alternative rulerships for the cards and how they allow you to understand astrology at a deeper level. He also demonstrates several types of card layouts that can be used to perform readings for yourself or others, and he provides instructions for Tarot Contemplations to access deeper meanings of the cards. By journeying through the nexus of wisdom connections within each card, you not only are simultaneously learning the ancient wisdom of numerology and astrology, but also opening access to your own inner wisdom.Be the Unicorn: 12 Data-Driven Habits that Separate the Best Leaders from the Rest
