Scotland, 1296. The winds of rebellion are blowing. The wars of independence for Scotland are on the brink of changing the history of Great Britain. Under assault from King Edward I, the besieged city of Berwick-upon-Tweed is delivered into the hands of the English, who massacre and burn everything in their path. Aileas and Fillan, 16-year-old orphan twins, get separated on that horrific night. Aileas is carried away and disappears while Fillan manages to join forces with a Scottish clan fleeing to the north, into the very heart of the Highlands.

Un soir de novembre 1910, Monsieur et Madame Seurel, directeurs d'une paisible école de la campagne solognote, reçoivent un nouveau pensionnaire, Augustin Meaulnes, accompagné par sa mère. Le prestige naturel de ce grand adolescent lui vaut d'être bientôt connu de tous les élèves comme "le Grand Meaulnes". En partageant la même chambre, Augustin et François, le fils des Seurel, se lient d'amitié. Le nouveau venu éveille rapidement chez le sensible François une véritable fascination.

Story30
We spend most of our waking lives at work - in occupations often chosen by our unthinking 16-year-old selves. And yet we rarely ask ourselves how we got there or what it might mean for us. Equally intrigued by work's pleasures and its pains, Alain de Botton heads into the office, the factory, the fishing fleet, and the logistics centre, ears and eyes open to the beauty, interest, and sheer strangeness of the modern workplace. Why do we do it? What makes it pleasurable? And why do we daily exhaust not only ourselves but also the planet?

La plus grande affaire de pédophilie jamais révélée en France. Pendant près de cinquante ans, sous l'apparence d'un établissement d'excellence, l'institution catholique Notre-Dame de Bétharram a fait vivre un enfer aux enfants qui y étaient élèves, dès leur plus jeune âge. Brimades, humiliations, violences physiques et sexuelles ont libre cours dans la plus totale impunité, avec la complicité de tous ceux qui n'ont pas voulu voir ni parler. Les victimes, Pascal, Alexandre, Hélène, et des centaines d'autres, se sont tues à défaut de pouvoir être crues, entendues, sauvées.

We are never really taught how to make sense of the torrent of news we face every day, writes Alain de Botton (author of the best-selling The Architecture of Happiness), but this has a huge impact on our sense of what matters and of how we should lead our lives. In his dazzling new book, de Botton takes twenty-five archetypal news stories - including an airplane crash, a murder, a celebrity interview and a political scandal - and submits them to unusually intense analysis with a view to helping us navigate our news-soaked age.

This manifesto remains the only attempt to date by GRECE, the primary New Right organization in France, to summarize its principles and key concepts. It was written in 1999 by Alain de Benoist, GRECE's founder, and Charles Champetier on the occasion of GRECE's 30th anniversary. It offers a strong argument in favor of the right to difference among cultures and civilizations, and the right of peoples to defend themselves from cultural homogenization.

Le Grand Meaulnes is a story of the end of youth, with its sense of wonder and idealism, and the transition to adulthood and experience. In a story which exquisitely blends realism with a hint of fantasy, Augustin Meaulnes is haunted by the memory of a beautiful girl briefly encountered in a fantastic 'domain'. However, Meaulnes finds himself unable to return there both physically and emotionally. An acknowledged modern classic, Le Grand Meaulnes is offered here in a new translation which is more sympathetic to the poetic original than previous editions.

Le mystère d'être un corps, un corps qui interprète et vit sa vie, est partagé par tout le vivant : c'est la condition vitale universelle, et c'est probablement elle qui mérite d'appeler le sentiment d'appartenance le plus puissant. Ainsi, les animaux sont pour nous à la fois des parents et des étrangers d'une immense altérité. Baptiste Morizot approfondit ici une série d'enquêtes philosophiques fondées sur la pratique du pistage.

Geldmangel? Liebeskummer? Frustriert? Ihnen kann geholfen werden. An sechs typischen Krisen aus dem täglichen Leben führt Alain de Botton geistreich und amüsant vor, wie jedermann Trost, Rat und Ansporn in der Philosophie findet. In essayistischen Porträts geht er auf eine Reise durch 2400 Jahre abendländische Philosophiegeschichte und zeigt anhand der Leben und Werke von Sokrates, Epikur, Seneca, Montaigne, Schopenhauer und Nietzsche wie ein etwas anderer - nämlich philosophischer - Blick auf die Welt das Leben erträglicher machen kann.
