Title : The Great Winter - Ismaïl Kadaré - book Summary : Winter 1961, little Albania will break off diplomatic relations with the Soviet giant. An upheaval in history. An upheaval in individual destinies. It is a winter of ruptures for all the characters. For Besnik, interpreter at the Moscow conference. For his fiancée Zana. For the secretary of the Albanian Communist Party, but also for Ben, the street sweeper, for the old mountaineer, and for Nurihan, a former "bourgeois" stripped of her estates. Politician or humble peasant, adult or child, each one has their own voice, and the voices mingle, the visions blend, poetic or coldly critical, sometimes mad, to compose Ismail Kadaré's most beautiful symphonic novel.

Title : Anta - Memoirs of a Lapp - Andreas Labba - book Summary : A self-taught Lapp, born at the beginning of the century into a family of reindeer herders, Andreas Labba became a novelist in his late sixties thanks to Swedish friends, including Dag Hammarskjöld, the UN Secretary-General. Thus was born "Anta," typed in Lapp, stroke by stroke, on an old typewriter, before being translated into Swedish; then "Anta and Marie," written directly in Swedish. This autobiographical text brings to life an Arctic people, confronted with the perils of nomadism between the long winters of inland Lapland and the short summers of the Norwegian coast. One of the first novels of a boreal people, one of the last great contemporary peoples of European prehistory. The joy of lyrical and naive writing. A Lappish Douanier Rousseau. Before our eyes, the ancient civilization of the reindeer comes to life again, with its acute memory of places and seasons; a society in balance until the time of colonization by the "great Swedes" with railways, miners, and schools. Everything, then, changes. Andreas Labba bore witness until the end of his life, challenging the proud Swedes and calling the Sami, "sons of the sun," to awaken. After Andreas Labba's death, the Sami faced industrial expansion and Chernobyl and its misfortunes: an area so polluted that herds had to be slaughtered in some regions. Recent support from the Western intelligentsia facilitated the ongoing circumpolar cultural revolution. EAN : 9782266073547 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : Women in the Time of the Emperors of China - Danielle Elisseeff - book Summary : Imperial China, land of the "Middle Ground" but also of terrible excesses, has always been a dream of the West: a land of silk, porcelain, and flower girls with rosebud smiles, moving gracefully on tiny feet. A superficial and mawkish vision of a barbaric traveler, but a gentle, reassuring image that the Chinese themselves loved to evoke. For perhaps no other civilization has feared women so much, seeing them as strange, disturbing beings, capable of the best and the worst. Danielle Elisseeff, archivist-paleographer, doctor of Far Eastern studies, and one of the best current specialists on China, recounts the difficult journey of Chinese women under the Empire, to situate themselves in a world that distrusted them, a difficult and long journey since it spans two millennia and has its roots deep in Prehistory. Destinies unfold in a relentless unfolding - seduction, love, cruelty, terror. An unforgettable saga where the thrill of life combines with the breath of epic.

Title : Ru - Kim Thuy - book Summary : A woman travels through the chaos of memories: childhood in her golden cage in Saigon, the arrival of communism in fearful South Vietnam, escape in the belly of a boat off the Gulf of Siam, internment in a refugee camp in Malaysia, the first shivers in the cold of Quebec. A story between war and peace, Ru speaks of emptiness and overflow, loss and beauty. From this tumult, tragicomic incidents, ordinary objects emerge as landmarks on a journey. By evoking an acrylic bracelet filled with diamonds, blue bowls rimmed with silver, or the power of a fabric softener scent, Kim Thúy recreates the Vietnam of yesterday and today with the mastery of a great writer.

Title : Along the Silk Road - On Foot to China - Philippe Valéry - book Summary : Venice, the Bosphorus, Isfahan, Samarkand, the Afghan Wakhan. It was the road of silk, spices, and precious stones that Philippe Valéry followed, the same one traveled by Marco Polo and taken by Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan. In search of sincere and warm relationships, he walked for two years and 10,000 kilometers, from Marseille to Kashgar, China, through fifteen picturesque countries. From the Mediterranean to the foothills of the Himalayas, houses, huts, and yurts opened up, as the souls of their inhabitants were revealed.

Title : Who am I to judge others? - Serge Portelli - book Summary : Who am I to judge others? Who can possibly have the legitimacy to judge the meaning of a man's life? How can one be oneself and a judge at the same time? " Magistrate Serge Portelli takes over our collection to recount the hard business of living. "Who am I to judge others? Who can possibly have the legitimacy to judge the meaning of a man's life? How can one be oneself and a judge at the same time?" Magistrate Serge Portelli takes hold of our collection to recount the hard work of living. He tells not the truth, but his truth, his innermost conviction. This is the story of a man facing others, victims or aggressors, human, all so terribly human. He remembers the savagery of certain children, the pain of raped women, his setbacks (and victories) with the political world. He holds up a mirror to us reflecting the chaos of our world—violence, inequality, injustice... To share what life means to him is to reveal his doubts and his certainties, to take us into his fights for liberty, equality, and fraternity. It is to intertwine modesty, anger, tenderness, and hope. It is also to write to understand, to shed the legal gibberish, and to take the side of the other—these other "selves." It is, even beyond horror, to reject fatality, recidivism, and to believe, always, in the dignity of Man. Serge Portelli calls Verlaine and Montaigne to the rescue and confesses with rare elegance, often tinged with humor.

Title : Manuella - Philippe Labro - book Summary : That's all I write, platitudes. In fact, I'm useless. All my friends tell me I'm great and beautiful and nice and positive, and my parents say the same thing and everyone thinks I'm incredibly confident, if only they knew how useless I think I am. I'm completely wrong. I'm still a virgin, 9/10 (or rather 10/10) of my friends haven't been for a long time, they all more or less have a boy in their life, and I have nothing. Pity, pity the poor little loveless chick, the nice, upstanding girl who doesn't know what physical love means, the baby with a woman's body who has ankles that are too thick, hips that are too wide, a nose that is too flat, one ear that says hello to the other, dimples that are too high and a chin that is too pointed, and who walks with movements like boats that rock in the harbor when there is a swell."
