Píše se rok 1959 a dvanáctiletý Michel Marini prožívá první krizi v rodině. Rodiče se nemohou na ničem shodnout a bratr Franck přes jejich odpor narukuje do války v Alžírsku. Michelovým jediným útočištěm se stávají knihy a utajený šachový klub ve čtvrti Montparnasse, kde se scházejí uprchlíci z východního bloku a vyprávějí si jen stěží uvěřitelné osobní příběhy. Během několika let přichází Michel o iluze a předčasně dospívá, přesto se však stává právoplatným členem šachového klubu a jedním z nemnoha nenapravitelných optimistů.

Montaigne might well be one of the most sympathetic writers ever known. He is known for popularizing the essay as a literary genre; his style merges casual anecdotes and autobiography with deep intellectual insights. His "Essays" are among the most influential ever written; one can recognize Montaigne's direct influence on great literary figures all over the world, from René Descartes to Nietzsche, Isaac Asimov, and possibly William Shakespeare.

Critique radicale d'un monde capitaliste dont tous les composants mènent à l'aliénation, La Société du spectacle pose la thèse situationniste. Guy Debord reste pour la postérité ce révolutionnaire marxiste qui nous appelle à détruire la culture moderne, à la dépasser et à tout réinventer. Ses slogans, comme le célèbre "Ne travaillez jamais", sont autant de symboles de la révolte de Mai 68.

Als der 46-jährige Florent-Claude Bilanz zieht, beschließt er, sich aus seinem Leben zu verabschieden - eine Entscheidung, die auch das neue Antidepressivum Captorix nicht zu ändern vermag, das ihn seine Libido kostet. Er erinnert sich an die Frauen seines Lebens, begegnet einem alten Studienfreund, der als Landwirt im globalisierten Frankreich um seine Existenz kämpft, und er rechnet ab: mit der modernen Gesellschaft, der Wirtschaft, der Politik - und mit sich selbst. Nie hat Houellebecq so ernsthaft und voller Emotion über die Liebe geschrieben.

Porsche "Turbo" DeGrassa isn’t one to sit still. While she’s always up for a challenge or a new project, she tends to take them on without ever completing anything. Never in her life has she had a place become more than a pass through to the next adventure, and yet, she’s now five years into living with the Steels in Montana and itching to find something or someone to finally keep her from spinning like a top through life.

Une masse sombre, inexpliquée, prise dans les glaces millénaires du Mont Ararat... Un livre interdit, gardé sous clé dans l'enfer du Vatican... Un animal de bois, énigmatique, portant au front une corne unique... Les indices sont là, éparpillés. Un gigantesque puzzle à reconstituer pour remonter à l'origine de toutes les religions du monde.

A Giverny in Normandia, il villaggio dove ha vissuto e dipinto il grande pittore impressionista Claude Monet, una serie di omicidi rompe la calma della località turistica. L'indagine dell'ispettore Sérénac ci conduce a contatto con tre donne. La prima, Fanette, ha 11 anni ed è appassionata di pittura. La seconda, Stéphanie, è la seducente maestra del villaggio, mentre la terza è una vecchia acida che spia i segreti dei suoi concittadini da una torre.

How can a couple be saved when they have declared war on one another? By helping them realize that desire originates not in the self, but in the other. There are strategies that can help, which Dr. Oughourlian has prescribed successfully to his patients. This work, alternating between case studies and more theoretical statements, convincingly defends the possibility that breakups need not be permanent.

Rusland zit vast in een archaïsche machtsstructuur. De politiek in het Kremlin heeft heimwee naar de oude machtspositie uit de tijd van het communistische regime. Poetin lijkt te worden gedreven door wroeging en wraak. Dat werd pijnlijk duidelijk door de inlijving van de Krim en de hybride oorlog in Oost-Oekraïne. Wat drijft Poetin? Hoe ziet zijn “Russische wereld” eruit en wat betekent zijn politiek voor de toekomst van Rusland en van landen in zijn invloedssfeer, zoals Oekraïne? Zijn wij getuige van de fantoompijn van een uiteengevallen imperium of van een opmars naar een nieuwe hegemonie?

It is important that you complete the lessons in order. The Method is successful because it builds on the language you learn in each lesson and 'recycles' language taught in earlier lessons. Do not skip and always begin with Lesson 1.

Much like Shakespeare or Homer, Les Propheties de M. Michel Nostradamus, also known as the Prophecies of Michel Nostradamus, reads like poetry but is actually an epic saga. It’s out of sequence, broken up into 942 pieces and mixed up like a jigsaw puzzle. With the jigsaw puzzle being a picture of a Labyrinth, the book poses problems but makes requests to raise awareness in an effort to create a different outcome. Skeptics will say that Les Propheties predicts too much Doom, but then why does one get insurance or prepare for calamity. Because concern should drive us into action and not ...

"Pierrot ou les secrets de la nuit", "Barbedor", "La fin de Robinson Crusoé", "La Mère Noël" : quatre contes de Michel Tournier. "Quand tout le monde peut me lire, même les enfants, dit-il, c'est la preuve que j'ai donné le meilleur de moi-même." En effet, Michel Tournier n'écrit pas pour les enfants. Il écrit simplement de son mieux, avec comme idéal la brièveté de La Fontaine, la force de Perrault, la limpidité de Kipling, la naïveté de Saint-Exupéry.

Sarah "Topaz" Cardell had been with the Steels in Montana from the start, moving up from the New Mexico Charter with other Hoez to be there for the men.
