La Jurassienne est devenue un phénomène d'édition depuis qu'elle a décroché un prestigieux prix littéraire américain il y a près de deux ans. Sollicitée aux quatre coins du monde, elle fait étape en Suisse pour y présenter son nouveau roman «Le Vieil Incendie».
From the quiet suburbs of Neuchâtel to popular uprisings in Paris, Colin Thibert takes us to the heart of the late 18th century, through the tribulations of an antihero as pushy as he is ingenuous. A thrilling read.
The Franco-Belgian writer and playwright publishes «Le Défi de Jérusalem», a thought-provoking book in which he retraces his journey to the Holy Land. The book is more inspirational than inspiring, and even includes an afterword by Pope Francis.
Joseph is up bright and early, preparing to see his grandparents again. As he makes his way through the village, he meets a few villagers who were once so hostile to him. They all show him respect and sympathy, and remember Marguerite and Aimé. His grandmother welcomes him as he would have liked to have been welcomed by the village, at first. They talk about words and books.
Joseph is well and truly back with his family. Everything is going well for him. He works, loves and is loved. At the end of a harvest day, and after an evening of drinking, Joseph returns to Agathe's house where a surprise awaits him. It's Leila. She invites him to leave the village with her...
Social fracture and disillusionment: the silent majority and the Parisian elite no longer understand each other. At the center of the fray, a providential politician makes promises, heats up and charms the crowds. A powerful critique of populism, even of democracy.
Joseph's convalescence was drawing to a close. Deep in bed, he heard a familiar voice, not that of the previous maid, Agathe. It's her, it's Leila, his childhood sweetheart. Their reunion marks the beginning of a period of peace and reconciliation. Joseph now takes part in village life, working, eating and laughing with those who have perhaps become his own.
Launched in the late 2000s, the «Dictionnaire amoureux» collection covers a wide range of subjects. One of the latest is devoted to the Belle Epoque and the Années Folles, written by Benoît Duteurtre. Guaranteed to amaze.
