Title : Terror in France - Genesis of French Jihad - Gilles Kepel - book Please note that some pages may have been highlighted with highlighter or pencil, but this will not interfere with reading. Summary In the ten years between the riots of autumn 2005 and the 2015 attacks on Charlie Hebdo and the Bataclan, France saw new fault lines emerge. The youth of postcolonial immigration constituted the main symbolic stake. This contributed to François Hollande's victory in the 2012 elections. But economic, social, and political marginalization, among other factors, pushed some to seek a model of "integral Islam" inspired by Salafism and to project themselves into a "jihadosphere" that sought to destroy the "infidel" West. The generational change in Islam in France and the transformations of the ideology of jihadism under the influence of social networks produced the crucible from which the French, excited by the Syrian-Iraqi battlefield, would emerge. In 2015, more than 800 of them joined it and more than 130 died there, not counting those who carried out their attacks in France. At the same time, the rise of the far right and the electoral successes of the National Front reinforced the polarization of society, whose foundations are today threatened in an unprecedented way by those who want to unleash, in terror and desolation, civil war. This book is dedicated to unraveling the threads of this tragedy. EAN : 9782070105625 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : Holy Lola - Dominique Sampiero, Tiffany Tavernier - book Summary A plane lands in a land of rice paddies, a couple bickers over a lost hotel address: Jacques and Isabelle Cessac have just landed in Cambodia! Barely have they crossed the airport corridors when the monsoon hits. A taxi driver steps forward and grabs their luggage: Adopter? Married for ten years, Jacques, 34, a rural general practitioner, and Isabelle, 29, live in Auvergne. Until the day everything falls apart... Isabelle discovers her sterility. A few months later, and to put an end to the vicious circle of medicalization, they send a file to the MAI (French Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and, like all adopters, leave unconscious, pumped up. It's their first trip abroad, and their arrival in Phnom Penh is a measure of their change of scenery! A ballet of traffic, children playing on the sidewalks despite the rain, contrasting neighborhoods, colorful crowds at the markets, clusters of Moby Dop zigzagging across the road. The reception is frosty. The official, in a hurry, doesn't even look up from his desk. When Jacques asks for information about the procedure, he offers them a list of steps written by an adopter, giving them a fragile thread of guidance. And the grueling round of orphanages begins. Then the confrontation with the Cambodian authorities, also overwhelmed by work. The mistrust and jealousy of other adopters. The false joys, the endless discussions about the price of a taxi ride, the twists and turns surrounding signatures, the resourcefulness, the fear of networks and the temptation of trafficking. And above all, the anxiety of failure and returning childless. Every day, the trivial rubs shoulders with depression. After a month, when everything suggested they were going to fail, luck smiled on them: by bringing toys to the children of HOLY BABY, an orphanage they had visited several times, Jacques and Isabelle were given a little Lola, aged eight months. But first they had to pass the tests at the Pasteur Institute, find out if she was HIV positive or negative, have her lung x-rays done and finally spend an indefinite period dealing with the bakshish, the various Cambodian ministries, to obtain their approval for this adoption, with the anxiety until the last minute that it would all fail. Holy Lola is the story of a successful adoption but also of an initiatory journey to the heart of a country martyred by history, a journey to the heart of oneself and selfishness, fears to overcome: just to become parents.

Title : They were waiting for dawn - Claude Michelet - book Summary Paris, 1940. Jean, Albert and René are young and full of illusions... But they don't yet know to what extent their choices will seal their destiny. Claude Michelet's great novel about the Resistance. In the winter of 1940, the Germans occupied Paris. Three friends, Jean, Albert, and René, shared a common love of swimming and a shared anxiety about a bleak future. On November 11th, without much thought, Jean participates in an anti-German demonstration organized around the Arc de Triomphe. Accosted by the police, he injures a gendarme while trying to escape, leaving him with his jacket and papers. From now on, he is a fugitive who has no other choice but to turn to a young American journalist he met shortly before, who leads him to a fashion house run by a surprising woman: Claire Diamond. Although she dresses the companions of all the influential Germans in Paris, Jean will quickly understand that Claire plays a role in the Resistance that is being born. It is she who will allow him to join these networks to which he feels so naturally drawn. Albert, for his part, chose collaboration. He did not hesitate for a second to infiltrate student circles and denounced all rebels against Nazi propaganda. Under a pseudonym, he actively collaborated with the most virulent newspapers, such as I am everywhere Or The Sheaf. As for René, too preoccupied with his personal pleasure, women, and the good life, he chose neither side. Yet he found himself forcibly conscripted into the STO and suffered a thousand deaths in the depths of Germany. Through three stories, Claude Michelet retraces, with the rigor of a historian and the breath of a novelist, all the facets of this dramatic era when a tiny handful of men and women were able to restore France's greatness and honor. It is also, implicitly, Claude Michelet's homage to his father, the great patriot and resistance fighter Edmond Michelet.

Title : Somewhere in the World - Claude Michelet - book Summary The beginnings of cinema, aviation... The extraordinary destiny of a daring Corrèze native who conquered the world. "It was when he saw his father one day on his knees before the MP's wife that Sylvestre swore to himself that he would never take over the family business." Thus begins Somewhere in the world and, indeed, Claude Michelet's young hero will do anything to escape the well-trodden destiny of his father, and before him of his grandfather: to spend his life fitting the feet of all the town's notables - with all that this implies in terms of respectability but also servility. What Sylvestre wants is "to work, but in a job that pleases [him] and above all by staying upright, always." After patiently champing at the bit in his father's workshop despite some inevitable altercations, on his seventeenth birthday he announces to his stunned family that he is leaving. He will return from time to time to visit them, but he will not take over the Neyrat & Fils company... Sylvestre learned his trade on the roads of Limousin by learning the trade of peddler, before going to Paris where he found a job as a handyman and then as a salesman for Félix Potin, the "revolutionary" grocer of the very beginning of the century: everywhere he goes, he succeeds, but he quickly gets bored... One day, he discovers cinematography, and it is a revelation: this is what he wants to do! Forcing his luck as always, he goes to the Vincennes studios, and has the first important encounter of his life, that of Romain Deslieux, an enterprising businessman determined to launch himself into this new art that is increasingly popular with the public. Amused by the young man's audacity, impressed by his determination, Deslieux offers Sylvestre the chance to become a reporter for Pathé. And so begins the life of adventures that will lead the little Corrèze native to travel across America, from the Panama Canal to Chile, from Cape Horn to the Great Lakes with his cameras and his video camera, like a true pioneer of the early 20th century. In Panama, the subject of his first report, he will have the second great encounter of his life, that of Terry, a beautiful American woman with a character as strong as his own, as enamored of freedom as he is, as curious about everything new, unexplored - aviation, for example, one of their shared passions. A woman of his own stature with whom he will live a story of astonishing modernity for the time on this single promise, yet beautifully romantic: to live each one's life but to find each other, always, somewhere in the world...

Title : Fathers and Mothers - Aldo Naouri - book Summary Fathers and mothers are in the hot seat today. Accused of all evils, when they do not accuse themselves, they nevertheless try to fulfill their role as father and mother, as best they can. They have no other choice since they feel that the new generations are holding them to account. Believing they can exonerate themselves from the guilt they feel, they have put themselves at the total service of their children. The results are paradoxical to say the least: the couple's relationships are affected and their children often become domestic tyrants, whom they complain about to caregivers. Because our society has lost its bearings, is it not becoming urgent and necessary to restore our fundamental values? This is about the father, the mother and the child. I modestly hope to help to better understand this trio which is the very essence of life, AN Dr. Aldo Naouri, a pediatrician for forty years, has built his entire work around intrafamily relationships. His various works have become references in the field and The Daughters and Their Mothers was a bestseller translated into several languages.

Title : Steve Jobs - Walter Isaacson - book Summary Suggested by Apple founder Steve Jobs, who was facing a terrible illness, based on more than forty interviews conducted over two years and interviews with a hundred family members, friends, rivals, competitors, and colleagues, the book traces the incredible life and extraordinary personality of a genius, perfectionist and hyperactive, who revolutionized computers, animated films, music, telephones, touch tablets, and digital publishing. Steve Jobs is now the absolute icon of inventiveness. He understood that combining creativity with technology had become essential. Steve Jobs, of course, collaborated on the book but did not ask for any right to review what was written, or even to read it before publication. He imposed no limits; on the contrary, he encouraged those around him to speak freely. “There are a lot of things I’m not proud of,” he says, “including how, at 23, I handled the situation when my girlfriend got pregnant. But I don’t have any skeletons in the closet that I’m trying to hide.” Steve Jobs speaks with extreme candor about the people he has worked with or competed with. He can deeply infuriate the people around him. His friends, enemies, and colleagues speak frankly about his passions, his demons, his desires, his intransigence, and his obsession with control that have shaped his business vision and the innovations that have resulted from them. Steve Jobs’s personality and the products he creates are intertwined, like different parts of an integrated system—all Apple products and software participate in this logic. Jobs’s career is exemplary, a model of innovation, character, business leadership, and values. EAN : 9782709638326 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo
