Title : Subito presto - Gérard Mordillat - Book Summary : In Subito presto , monsters who resemble us call out to each other and respond to each other. Whether it's the tragedy of a ridiculous man who joins the far right, the delusions of a president ready to reinstate slavery to combat unemployment, a truck driver selling his soul to the devil to become a boss, the ghost of a jester, or the man with a child's brain who travels the world without seeing it... they all say what we are, here and now. So many texts, so many stories snatched by the handful from current events, so many stones thrown into the mirror of everyday life to shatter it; to discover the reality of the world we live in - violent, grotesque, and sometimes terribly funny. After Ces femmes-là , visionary and disturbing, Gérard Mordillat , winner of the Resistance Humor Prize for La Brigade du rire , remains faithful to his convictions in this surprising, provocative and playful collection.

Title : History of Sexual Rites - Jacques Marcireau - Book Summary : Sexual rites of prehistoric origin had never been the subject of a comprehensive study or any attempt at interpretation. People did not dare to look them in the face. This book finally dares to do so and provides the most extraordinary documentation ever gathered on this subject. Sacred prostitution, the right of the first night, the cult of the lingam and the yoni, and circumcision are the best-known vestiges of these mysterious practices, the spread of which was universal and whose role in the formation of religions and societies was crucial. A careful examination of the oldest of these rites, bestial coupling (Eve and the serpent), reveals a surprising hypothesis on the origins of humanity. Ritual coupling, no longer between an animal and a woman, but between a priest and a priestess (as well as between the faithful) was such a widespread practice that, in the time of Herodotus, “except the Greeks and the Egyptians, all peoples made love in the temples.” In 1877, the Orthodox clergy still tolerated – once a year – couplings of the faithful in a Christian church… Sexual rites are inseparable from the rites of Death and the rites of Emasculation. By explaining them, we finally understand a host of beliefs, superstitions, social or religious customs, the nature of religious and other ceremonies, the origin of festivals, etc. EAN: Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : The Blue Bicycle Volume 7 - Free Cuba - 1955-1959 - Régine Deforges - Book Summary : Léa and François Tavernier embark for Cuba with their children. They seek to forget the Indochinese disaster into which they have been so tragically plunged. But adventure catches up with them again on this island, where Fulgencio Batista, the dictator supported by the American mafia, reigns. Very quickly, Charles, Léa's adopted son, finds himself mixed up in the revolutionary movement. Ardently sought by Batista's police, he manages to join Fidel Castro and the rebellion, who are waiting for their moment in the Sierra Maestra. Mad with worry, Léa sets out to find him and finds him in the company of Ernesto Guevara, who loved her in Argentina (see Black Tango ), and Camilo Cienfuegos, who becomes her lover. Together, they take part in the hard fighting in Santa Clara, then return to Havana as victors. Meanwhile, François Tavernier, who was first called upon by General Salan and then by General de Gaulle, went to Algiers on a mission with Léon Delbecque, Lucien Neuwirth, and Captain Jean Pouget, whom he had met during the siege of Dien Bien Phu. There, he witnessed the events of May 13, 1958, became concerned about the rise of fascism in Algeria, and learned to distrust General de Gaulle's close entourage, whom he suspected of having wanted to foment a coup d'état to ensure his return to power.

Title : The Blue Bicycle Volume 8 - Algiers, White City - 1959-1960 - Régine Deforges - Book Summary : Fifteen years after the end of World War II, Léa, the intrepid heroine of The Blue Bicycle, returns to France. In the meantime, the turbulent post-war world had taken her from Argentina to revolutionary Havana, via a chaotic Indochina. However, at the end of the 1950s, France was not at peace; the war raging in Algeria was shaking the entire country. General de Gaulle then tasked François Tavernier with sounding out, across the Mediterranean, a worried population and an army tempted by a putsch. Remaining in Paris, Léa and Charles, her adopted son, gradually took the side of independence and engaged, alongside the "suitcase carriers," in dangerous operations to support Algerian militants. As the January 1960 rebellion pushes Algiers to the brink of collapse, Léa must join François to escape the suspicions of the DST. Here they are thrown into the heart of dramatic events which, once again, will put them to the test, testing their convictions as much as their love.

Title : The Blue Bicycle - Volume 10 - And When Will the End of the Journey Come - 1964-1967 - Régine Deforges - Book Summary : In 1966, General de Gaulle, the French head of state, entrusted François Tavernier with a mission as secret as it was delicate: to travel to Bolivia, where Klaus Barbie, the Nazi war criminal, had taken refuge. There, with the support of Dominique Ponchardier, the French ambassador to La Paz, he would have to secure the extradition of Jean Moulin's torturer. Failing that, he would still have the option of kidnapping him; or even eliminating him... Barely having disembarked, Tavernier finds himself facing the open hostility of the German exiles: attempts on his life are multiplying. Fortunately, Léa, who has joined him in La Paz, courageously supports him in this merciless struggle. Launched on the trail of Barbie and his family, François and Léa take us through a magnificent country, shaken as it is by the guerrilla war then being waged there by Ernesto Guevara. After the Frenchman Régis Debray, it is also to the cause of Che that Charles, Léa's adopted son, secretly rallies; he throws himself into it with all the energy of his youth, mixing the Tavernier saga with the upheavals of South American history in the sixties: Che's great revolutionary dream, his desperate fight and his tragic end then parade before us. After having gone through so many trials, survived the German Occupation, the turmoil of French Indochina and then Algeria, Léa and François find themselves once again caught up in the whirlwind of History. This time, however, it will be adorned with dire colors for them... Thus ends the cycle of novels begun by The Blue Bicycle .

Title : Don't hang around in the rain - Richard Bohringer - Book Summary : "I arrived in front of the hospital, docked like a cargo ship at night. Its lights motionless in the rain. Planted there under the neon, dripping from the downpour. The wind shivers on the puddles. Someone is walking quickly. A taxi turns off its light. I'm there. I asked the doctor, lost among the IVs, the trolleys, the solitary people without a sound, and then others who are fed up. We don't know if this is life anymore. I asked the doctor if he would keep me tonight. He said yes." Richard Bohringer EAN: 9782081222922 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo
