The dissident: Alexey navalny: profile of a political prisoner
Par David Herszenhorn. 2023
A news-driven biography of Vladimir Putin's nemesis Alexey Navalny— lawyer, blogger, anti-corruption crusader, protest organizer, political opposition leader, mayoral and…
presidential candidate, campaign strategist, provocateur, poisoning victim, dissident, and now, prisoner of conscience and anti-war crusader. THE DISSIDENT is the story of how one fearless man, offended by the dishonesty and criminality of the Russian political system, mounted a relentless opposition movement and became President Vladimir Putin's most formidable rival—so despised that the Russian leader makes a point of never uttering Navalny's name. There's an old saying that Russia without corruption isn't Russia. Alexey Navalny refuses to accept this proposition. His stubborn insistence that Russians can defy the stereotype and create an entirely different country made him such a threat to Putin that the Kremlin wanted him exiled—or dead—and now seems intent on keeping him locked in a prison colony for decades. International correspondent David M. Herszenhorn, weaves together the threads of Navalny's remarkable life and work: The assassination attempt with a military- grade nerve agent by an FSB hit squad in Siberia, his recovery, and the vigilante-style investigation with news outlet Bellingcat to identify and confront his own would-be killers; Navalny's personal biography as part of the generation that straddled the end of the Soviet Union and birth of the Russian Federation, including childhood summers with his Ukrainian grandparents near Chernobyl, and his fellowship at Yale University, which spurred conspiracy theories about his ties to the U.S.; His anti-corruption investigations that exposed billions in graft at Russia's biggest state-owned companies and vast bribe-taking by top Russian officials, including his blockbuster revelations about Putin's Black Sea Palace; His political activism, including huge street protests, his bid for Moscow mayor in 2013, renegade run for president in 2017, his controversial views on nationalism, gun rights and Crimea, his transformation into a prisoner of conscience bravely denouncing Putin's war of aggression in Ukraine, and more. Riveting and complex, THE DISSIDENT introduces readers to modern Russia's greatest agitator, a man willing to sacrifice his freedom—and even his own life—to build the decent, democratic country he wants to live in and hopes to pass on to his childrenMastering the art of French cooking: v. 2

de lait de soja caillé, le tofu est un aliment simple aux innombrables propriétés; sa richesse en protéines et sa faible teneur en matières grasses, en calories et en cholestérol en font un substitut de la viande idéal. Les bénéfices du tofu pour la santé sont si nombreux qu'ils en font l'aliment par excellence à utiliser régulièrement. Mais la cuisine au tofu a longtemps été synonyme de plats fades, ennuyeux et réservés aux végétariens. Ce livre présente enfin le tofu sous son jour le plus éclatant grâce à des recettes audacieuses, originales et tout simplement délicieuses. Inspirées de toutes les cuisines du monde, les recettes contenues dans ce livre marient le tofu aux viandes, aux volailles, aux poissons et aux fruits de mer, de même qu'aux fruits, aux légumes et au riz [...]" -- 4e de couvMills says he ate out a lot as a college student, until he drained his savings and was forced into…

review) told through Omer Aziz's incisive and luminous prose. In a tough neighborhood on the outskirts of Toronto, miles away from wealthy white downtown, Omer Aziz struggles to find his place as a first-generation Pakistani Muslim boy. He fears the violence and despair of the world around him, and sees a dangerous path ahead, succumbing to aimlessness, apathy, and rage. In his senior year of high school, Omer quickly begins to realize that education can open up the wider world. But as he falls in love with books, and makes his way to Queen's University in Ontario, Sciences Po in Paris, Cambridge University in England, and finally Yale Law School, he continually confronts his own feelings of doubt and insecurity at being an outsider, a brown-skinned boy in an elite white world. He is searching for community and identity, asking questions of himself and those he encounters, and soon finds himself in difficult situations—whether in the suburbs of Paris or at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Yet the more books Omer reads and the more he moves through elite worlds, his feelings of shame and powerlessness only grow stronger, and clear answers recede further away. Weaving together his powerful personal narrative with the books and friendships that move him, Aziz wrestles with the contradiction of feeling like an Other and his desire to belong to a Western world that never quite accepts him. He poses the questions he couldn't have asked in his youth: Was assimilation ever really an option? Could one transcend the perils of race and class? And could we—the collective West—ever honestly confront the darker secrets that, as Aziz discovers, still linger from the past? In Brown Boy , Omer Aziz has written an eye-opening book that eloquently describes the complex process of creating an identity that fuses where he's from, what people see in him, and who he knows himself to beLa magie de l'ail (Librio #100-105)

sols, élevage intensif, pollution des océans. C'est en constatant que ces problèmes sont liés au mode de vie adopté par les grands pays industrialisés que la grande primatologue Jane Goodall a commencé à s'intéresser de près à la nourriture des hommes - une nourriture de plus en plus dénaturée. Face à de tels enjeux, le Dr Jane Goodall propose des réponses immédiates, accessibles à tous. La grande dame des chimpanzés fait ainsi bénéficier le lecteur de ses expériences de scientifique et de fondatrice de l'Institut Jane Goodall, qui inscrit son action dans une démarche globale de protection de la biodiversité, d'aide à la gestion durable et équitable des ressources. Au-delà d'une synthèse des grandes questions alimentaires d'aujourd'hui, ce livre engagé propose des éléments concrets aux consommateurs qui veulent se réapproprier la liberté de bien se nourrir." -- 4e de couvThe book of finger foods
