Title : Stories That Tilt - Alfred Hitchcock - Book Summary : Most of the texts presented here have that little something that surprises, seduces, astounds, or grips.

But, in any case, the tilt occurs and, with the next story, another no less exciting part begins! EAN: 9782266063982 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : Prussian Blue Winter - Muriel Meunier - book Summary : This novel is a story of passion and tension set during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, depicting Norman society and its weavers. It features a courageous and independent heroine who fights for her homeland and becomes an experienced dyeist. 1870. The war waged by Napoleon III against the Kingdom of Prussia is ravaging France. In Normandy, in Rouen, winter has taken on the blue hue of enemy uniforms. In the tormented landscape of foreign occupation, Zélie sees her daily life shaken. Courageous, she helps the fighters, but a mysterious gunman fires on her. The bullet wounds her face. Disfigured, tyrannized by a hateful husband, the young woman rebels to avoid sinking. She flees the family estate and hides in the Rouen slums. However, her chains are difficult to break and it is difficult for her to defy social conventions in a society where divorce is forbidden. Torn between her duty and the need to fulfill herself, taking a fresh look at life, she tries to gain her independence. Prussian blue is also the color of her photographer friend's cyanotypes and, above all, the color of a forbidden love. Fate will bind Zélie to an Uhlan, the terrible adversary. These two beings who should never have met, who are complete opposites, live a mad passion. The inevitable separation is cruel. Until that day in 1873 when their paths cross again. This novel is an evocation of the customs of Normandy during the Franco-Prussian War, a little-known aspect of French history. Historical references at the beginning of the book and a notebook of period photographs will further immerse readers in the late 19th century.

Title : History of the police in France - From the old regime to the present day - Jean-Marc Berlière, René Levy - Book Summary : Combining long and short-term history, this book offers the first comprehensive overview of the police over three centuries, covering their main missions: public order, criminal policing, and political policing. From the creation of the police lieutenancy by Colbert and Louis XIV in 1667 to the recent attachment of the national gendarmerie to the Ministry of the Interior, including the creation of the National Police by Vichy in the spring of 1941 and the attachment of the police prefecture to the National Police by de Gaulle in 1966, everything shows the extreme attention paid by all regimes to an instrument that seems inseparable from politics. Despite the common image of a purely state-based and centralized institution, the book seeks to describe a plural world, traversed by centuries-old competition between the private and the public, the local and the national (and even the international), the civil and the military, amateurs and professionals. It is the story of all these police forces, their delicate relationships with power, their reforms and their missions, the fantasies and contradictory feelings they arouse, which constitutes the subject of this unprecedented work. Jean-Marc Berlière, historian, professor emeritus at the University of Burgundy, and René Levy, sociologist and research director at the CNRS, both researchers at the Center for Sociological Research on Law and Penal Institutions (CESDIP) have been studying the subject of "police" for thirty years and have devoted numerous books and articles to it.
