Title : Bête noire. "Condemned to plead" - Éric Dupond-Moretti, Stéphane Durand-Souffland - book Summary : Praised by his admirers, criticized by many of magistrates, the "black beast" of the courts is explained for the first time. No, he is not fascinated by evil, but he defends both the presumption of innocence and the right – for criminals of all stripes – to a just sentence that does not vary from one to the next. No, he is not the enemy of magistrates, but he questions the absence of the notion of humanity in their oath, while it appears in that of lawyers. Because those who entrust their destiny to him are also human beings, whose lifeline sometimes inspires a certain clemency in jurors. No, he's not against the state, but he's often revolted by the way the justice system works. Like no one else has done before, he recounts the small arrangements, influences, and traps that can skew a verdict. Through anecdotes and edifying memories of the major assize trials in which he participated, he paints a portrait of an implacable judicial system, in which the defense is barely tolerated, even when it desperately tries to avoid miscarriages of justice. "I decided to become a lawyer at the age of fifteen. It was July 28, 1976, and I heard on the radio that Christian Ranucci, the man in the "red sweater," had been executed at dawn. This is not the story of a vocation that I tell here, but of a kind of fate. I am condemned to plead. " EAN : 9782749916163 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : Agincourt in the Rain - Jean Teulé - book Summary : Agincourt, a pretty village name, the vague memory of a lost battle. On October 25, 1415, it was raining heavily in Artois. A few thousand English soldiers, who were only thinking of returning home, found themselves trapped by a superior French force. Booted, helmeted, armored, armed to the teeth, proudly brandishing their standards, all the aristocrats of the French court rushed to participate in the slaughter. They fully intended to cover themselves in glory, in the grand tradition of French chivalry. None would return alive. All the armies of the world have, at one time or another, taken a beating, but for a disaster of this magnitude, only one word is required: grandiose! With his well-known verve and his killer attention to detail, Jean Teulé tells us about those three hellish days when, in the pouring rain, thousands of men massacred each other in a bloody confrontation that was all the more disastrous because the battle was completely pointless.

Title : Do not denature animals - François Xavier Testu - book Summary : It was through a daily newspaper that I discovered this astonishing news: Since the final vote by Parliament on January 28, 2015, the animal has finally been recognized in the Civil Code as a "living being endowed with sensitivity" (new article 515-14). This is a historic turning point, which puts an end to more than two hundred years of an archaic vision of the animal in the Civil Code. This recognition constitutes immense progress for our society. There is no need for the law, with its rules so muddled that we no longer know what to do with them, to say such a thing: animals have a feeling. Ordinary people, indifferent to role-playing about great causes that are not, have perceived since the dawn of time the glimmer of friendship reflected in the gaze of the familiar animal, and they have shuddered with regret when they distinguish the incomprehension that the wounded animal can address to man as a final reproach. Legal smokescreen is one of the most prodigious mills of stupidity that the Western world has conceived. It is about making people believe that the law is important in all things, when this is not the case. The happy or less unhappy ending of everything most often escapes the sphere of the law. The law cannot do everything since no regulation can oblige us to have a heart. EAN : 9782221192085 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : Investigation into the existence of celestial and cosmic beings - Gildas Bourdais - book Summary : Since time immemorial, humans have seen strange things in the sky and believed in the existence of celestial beings: gods, angels, demons, and other entities. In our time, there is also the belief in cosmic visitors who come aboard their UFOs. Scientists themselves explore the sky in search of extraterrestrial civilizations, and the question of UFOs is gradually entering the scientific domain. A disturbing and controversial issue, raising the question of secrecy, analyzed in detail by Gildas Bourdais. There are thus two ways of considering the population of the heavens: one, traditional in religious beliefs; the other, scientific in research on extraterrestrials and UFOs. The originality of this book is to give equal space to these two approaches, and to show that they come together today, opening up fascinating perspectives for the mind. Although his analysis is objective and rational, Gildas Bourdais nevertheless leaves the door open to dreams and imagination, which we really need today.
