Story
Août 1992. Une vallée perdue quelque part à l'Est, des hauts fourneaux qui ne brûlent plus, un lac, un après-midi de canicule. Anthony a 14 ans, et avec son cousin, ils s'emmerdent comme c'est pas permis. C'est là qu'ils décident de voler un canoë pour aller voir ce qui se passe de l'autre côté, sur la fameuse plage des culs-nus. Au bout, ce sera pour Anthony le premier amour, le premier été, celui qui décide de toute la suite.

Story
Hélène a bientôt 40 ans. Elle a fait de belles études, une carrière. Elle a réalisé le programme des magazines et le rêve de son adolescence : se tirer, changer de milieu, réussir. Et pourtant, le sentiment de gâchis est là, les années ont passé, tout a déçu. Christophe, lui, n’a jamais quitté ce bled où ils ont grandi avec Hélène. Il n’est plus si beau. Il a fait sa vie à petits pas, privilégiant les copains, la teuf, remettant au lendemain les grandes décisions, l’âge des choix. On pourrait croire qu’il a tout raté.

Story
"Je vous souhaite d’être follement aimée", écrivait André Breton. Dans ce recueil de poèmes qui constituent autant de microfictions incandescentes, publiées au fil des années sur Instagram, Nicolas Mathieu dessine les visages de cet amour fou et donne à voir un monde de coïncidences, d’analogies et de banalités transformées en trésors : les villes entrevues, la mer, les rencontres et les commencements, le désespoir et les joies, le bonheur intenable, les saisons, les matins au lit et les dîners avortés, les gueules de bois, l’attente, la désertion, l’enfance et la fin qui viendra.

Story
August 1992. One afternoon during a heatwave in a lost valley somewhere in eastern France, with its dormant blast furnaces and its lake, 14-year-old Anthony and his cousin decide to steal a canoe to find out what it’s like on the other side at the famous nudist beach. The trip ultimately takes Anthony to his first love. Four summers and four defining moments, from “Smells Like Teen Spirit” to the 1998 World Cup, which encapsulate the hectic lives of the inhabitants of that intermediate France of medium-sized cities and their quiet residential estates....

Story
Ein Ort in der französischen Provinz in den 1990er-Jahren: Die Eltern, gezeichnet von harter Arbeit, verfallen den Versprechungen der Nationalisten. Die Kinder, voller Lebenswut, wachsen inmitten von Gewalt und Hoffnungslosigkeit auf. Über vier Sommer begleiten wir Anthony, Stéph, Hacine und ihre Freunde zwischen Nirvana und der Fußball-WM 1998 - in eine Welt, in der ihnen nichts geschenkt wird und an der sie dennoch hängen. Doch jetzt im Sommer herrscht Aufbruchstimmung, alle haben viel zu viel Zeit und am See mit Badekleidung verwischen die Standesunterschiede.

Story
Rose ist fast fünfzig, als sie Luc kennenlernt. Sie hat eine Ehe überstanden und zwei Kinder zur Welt gebracht, hat Liebschaften erlebt, Jobwechsel, Schicksalsschläge und Trauerfälle. Das Leben hat sie stark gemacht. In ihrer Handtasche steckt ein Revolver, der sie gegen die vielen Dreckskerle dieser Welt beschützen soll. Doch Luc ist anders, das spürt sie sofort. So charmant und zurückhaltend. Seit sie ihn kennt, liegt in ihren Augen ein neuer Glanz. Bis er sich eines Tages in seinem männlichen Stolz gekränkt fühlt und zuschlägt.

But for Elsa Wolcott, deemed too old to marry in a time when marriage is a woman’s only option, the future seems bleak. Until the night she meets Rafe Martinelli. By 1934, the world has changed; millions are out of work and drought has devastated the Great Plains. Elsa must make an agonizing choice: fight for the land she loves or leave it behind and go west, to California, in search of a better life for her family.

Taken in by an army surgeon and his wife during the War, she learned to read and write, to tolerate the sight of blood and broken bodies - and to forget what is too painful to bear. Now a young freedwoman, she has returned south to New Orleans and earns her living as an embalmer, her steady hand and skillful incisions compensating for her white employer's shortcomings.

Story
In The Story of America, Harvard historian and New Yorker staff writer Jill Lepore investigates American origin stories - from John Smith's account of the founding of Jamestown in 1607 to Barack Obama's 2009 inaugural address - to show how American democracy is bound up with the history of print. Over the centuries, Americans have read and written their way into a political culture of ink and type. Part civics primer, part cultural history, The Story of America excavates the origins of everything from the paper ballot and the Constitution to the I.O.U. and the dictionary.

Story
In The Story of America, Harvard historian and New Yorker staff writer Jill Lepore investigates American origin stories - from John Smith's account of the founding of Jamestown in 1607 to Barack Obama's 2009 inaugural address - to show how American democracy is bound up with the history of print. Over the centuries, Americans have read and written their way into a political culture of ink and type. Part civics primer, part cultural history, The Story of America excavates the origins of everything from the paper ballot and the Constitution to the I.O.U. and the dictionary.

Story
There have been numerous books about the why, when, and where of slavery in America, but there is a dearth of material exposing what slavery was actually like. In The Great Stain, researcher Noel Rae frames firsthand accounts from former slaves, slave owners, and even African slavers. Rae exposes the commerce and culture of slavery, not only from an economic or moral standpoint but also through multitudinous perspectives within it: a young girl is beaten after being accused of stealing a piece of candy, a slave ship's surgeon recounts brutal treatment and squalid conditions.

I never heard him come after me and even as I climbed the slope and stumbled onto our shaded back lawn, I didn't look back. It was like the day the gnomes chased me all over again, but this time I was not escaping some horrible little creatures, I was fleeing from an incredibly good-looking guy who could very well understand me completely. I was either saving myself from that serial killer I always imagined lived down in the swamp, or I had finally gone over the deep end...
