Title : The Excursion to Tindari - Andrea Camilleri - book Summary : Each new crime investigation fuels Inspector Montalbano's melancholy a little more. Here, the murder of an elderly couple in Vigàta troubles him more than he would like. Is there a connection with this other case, the execution of a young village Don Juan? To discover the truth, there's nothing like long meditations under his century-old olive tree, delicious lunches in the company of a very handsome witness, and the unconditional support of his team. One big question remains: will he finally reconcile himself to marrying Livia, his Genoese fiancée? EAN : 9782266140218 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : The torrent and the dike - Algiers from May 13 to the barricades - Jacques Massu - book Summary : On May 13, 1958, from the balcony of the Algerian Ministry, General Massu, responsible for maintaining order in the department of Algiers, faced with a riot that threatened to become a revolution, announced the creation of a Committee of Public Safety and launched his famous appeal that paved the way for General de Gaulle's return. On June 4, after being "the object of wild acclamations," de Gaulle responded to Massu, who had read him the address of the Committee of Public Safety: "You have been the torrent and the dike." On January 19, 1960, he recalled Massu to Paris and abruptly removed him from his command. Massu would not return to Algiers. What happened during this eighteen-month period that explains such a decision? First published a year after The Real Battle of Algiers, in 1972, The Torrent and the Dike is the crucial testimony of the man who was the key figure in Algeria during the first months of General de Gaulle's return to power.

Title : The Big Secret - Claude Gubler - book Summary : On May 10, 1981, François Mitterrand was elected President of the Republic. Six months later, in-depth medical examinations revealed to the Head of State that he had cancer, giving him a life expectancy of between three months and three years. With a few doctors, François Mitterrand set up a formidable machine to fight the disease, in order to save him, but also to ensure that the French people remained unaware of the illness that was eating away at him. The gradual development of a state secret began, which would last for fourteen years, or two seven-year terms. Claude Gubler, François Mitterrand's personal physician throughout this period, delivers in this book, with the collaboration of Michel Gonod, a political journalist, the astonishing account of these years won over death and snatched from illness, shattering the vision of a man who left his mark on France. Published in 1996 by Plon, this book was banned from sale twenty-four hours after its release, a highly exceptional decision, and was therefore withdrawn from bookstores. Today, following a court decision by the European Court of Human Rights condemning France for this ban, Editions du Rocher, in the name of freedom of expression, wished to once again make this fundamental text available to the reader for understanding the psychology of the one who has often been described as a sphinx, and to make its contribution to contemporary history.

Title : The Honor of War - The Truths of an Algerian Officer - Déodat Puy-Montbrun - book Summary : Everyone bears the weight of their actions. Déodat Puy-Montbrun doesn't claim to be a historian. He asks questions. Until now, he had remained silent about the war in Algeria. The way history is being written today has made him decide to speak out. Heir to a large feudal house in Languedoc, a Protestant among Catholics, orphaned by the First World War, and enlisted at barely twenty years old in the Second World War, Déodat Puy-Montbrun participated in all the battles of the French army, from the Resistance to Algeria, including Indochina and the special services. Although a Free Frenchman, distinguished by twenty-seven war titles including nineteen citations, he paid dearly, at the dawn of the Fifth Republic, for his sense of military honor. Determined to break with contemporary simplifications and amalgamations, Déodat Puy-Montbrun, wounded six times, insists on respecting the truth. Especially when addressing subjects as delicate as torture. He bears witness today for a generation that has no reason to be ashamed of the way it served its country. The section devoted to Algeria was reviewed by military historian Jean-Paul Pace. EAN : 9782226132086 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : Dictionary of Love of Bordeaux - Alain Juppé - book Summary : Bordeaux seen by the architect of its revival. "I wasn't born in Bordeaux. My hometown is Mont-de-Marsan, the capital of the Landes department, about 120 km south of Bordeaux. I lived there throughout my childhood and adolescence. And what about Bordeaux? My paternal grandparents lived in Bordeaux. My parents, my sister, and I visited them from time to time. I have few memories of it. Every time school started, my mother would drag my sister and me to Mod, the "chic" boutique on Place de la Comédie where she dressed us for winter. She didn't really like Bordeaux. Isabelle and I moved to Bordeaux in 1994. We found our dream house in an old building on Impasse des Tanneries. We were happy there. I foolishly sold the house in 2004, on a whim. I was in shock over my conviction and needed a break. Here we are today in the heart of the city, between two strategic sites: the Mollat ​​bookstore and the Palais Rohan. What a joy to walk to my office at the City Hall every morning. I think back to the city as it was more than two decades ago. It was certainly already beautiful, but it had fallen asleep. "The sleeping beauty," they said. Tourists passing through it on their way to the luminous south found it dark and didn't stop. It was indeed dark. It brought a kind of coquettishness to it. When I launched my first renovation campaign, I remember that a Bordeaux writer lamented in the press that the city was being erased by soot... and its very particular poetry. The people of Bordeaux quickly realized that renovation also meant restoring buildings that often needed it; that it was above all revealing the details of an architecture hidden beneath the grime. The contagion quickly spread and the people of Bordeaux rediscovered their city. When I presented my first urban project, I had two guiding ideas: first, to provide the city with modern and powerful public transport to prevent the emerging congestion of travel; and to reconquer or conquer both banks of the Garonne to resolutely open Bordeaux to its river. The left bank had been deserted by the port, which had left only ruined hangars. As for the right bank, it was still, for the "classic" Bordeaux residents, a virtually unknown space, another world that was not frequented. "Obscure taboo? Unwritten law?" asks JM Planes in his pamphlet on the Quinconces. Times have changed. The tramway has become a sort of umbilical cord between the left bank and the right bank, which is no longer "the shriveled kidney" in the meander of the river that JM Planes spoke of in another text. The stone bridge, now reserved for public transport and soft travel, accommodates up to 10,000 cyclists per day and a swarm of pedestrians. The development of the quays is popular. It has transformed a no man's land into a living space frequented daily by both the inhabitants of the city and the metropolis as well as by tourists. What a joy for me to meet happy citizens there, proud of their city! EAN : 9782259212298 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo
