Les vertes lectures
Par Michel Tournier. 2006
Au fond de chaque chose un poisson nage, Poisson de peur que tu n'en sortes nu, Je te jetterai mon…
manteau d'images. Ces vers de Lanza del Vasto décrivent la démarche de ces auteurs dits pour les jeunes. Ayant des vérités trop graves à exprimer, ils les dissimulent sous des histoires de voyage, de pêche, de chasse, de naïves amours. Si les lecteurs adultes les prennent à la légère et rangent leurs livres dans le rayon du second ordre de leur bibliothèque, c'est qu'ils ont réussi leur coup: le manteau d'images a joué son rôle. Les jeunes lecteurs, eux, ne s'y trompent pas. Ils dévorent ces vérités mystérieuses, profondes et cruelles si joliment enveloppées et qui nourrissent leur sensibilité. On dit parfois d'un enfant qui aime la lecture qu'il est sage comme une image. A-t-on mesuré toute la dangereuse et profonde sagesse des images? -- 4e de couv

The Bounty Mutiny
Par William Bligh, R. D. Madison, Edward Christian. 1788
The names William Bligh, Fletcher Christian, and the Bounty have excited the popular imagination for more than two hundred years.…
The story of this famous mutiny has many beginnings and many endings but they all intersect on an April morning in 1789 near the island known today as Tonga. That morning, William Bligh and eighteen surly seamen were expelled from the Bounty and began what would be the greatest open-boat voyage in history, sailing some 4,000 miles to safety in Timor. The mutineers led by Fletcher Christian sailed off into a mystery that has never been entirely resolved.While the full story of what drove the men to revolt or what really transpired during the struggle may never be known, Penguin Classics has brought together-for the first time in one volume-all the relevant texts and documents related to a drama that has fascinated generations. Here is the full text of Bligh's Narrative of the Mutiny, the minutes of the court proceedings gathered by Edward Christian in an effort to clear his brother's name, and the highly polemic correspondence between Bligh and Christian-all amplified by Robert Madison's illuminating Introduction and rich selection of subsequent Bounty narratives
