loups-garous, de feux follets, de diables, de revenants et de fantômes. Il répond aussi à des questions comme "D'où vient l'hiver ?", "Qui est le Bonhomme Sept-heures ?" ou "Comment a-t-on découvert le sirop d'érable?". Le Québec en contes et légendes est un heureux mélange d'histoires les plus connues de la tradition orale, de contes inédits et de faits historiques relégués aux oubliettes. Plusieurs textes connus ont été réécrits par les auteurs pour mieux captiver les lecteurs d'aujourd'hui, pour leur faire peur, pour les faire pleurer ou pour les faire rire.

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 childrenParents toxiques: comment échapper à leur emprise

Par Alice Miller. 2004
"Quand nous tombons malades, quand nous faisons l'expérience de la dépression, de la toxicomanie, de l'anorexie..., c'est que nous sommes…
traversés par un conflit intérieur entre ce que nous ressentons et ce que nous voudrions ressentir. D'un côté, il y a notre corps, qui garde intacte la mémoire de notre histoire, et tout particulièrement des mauvais traitements que nos parents ont pu nous infliger ; de l'autre, il y a notre esprit et notre volonté conditionnés par la morale et l'éducation traditionnelles à aimer et honorer, quoi qu'il arrive, ces mêmes parents. Ce livre nous montre, à travers de nombreux exemples - notamment les vies d'écrivains célèbres - les conséquences parfois dramatiques de ce conflit, mais aussi qu'il existe, aujourd'hui, des raisons d'espérer. Non, nous ne sommes pas obligés d'être les "bons" enfants de nos parents s'ils nous ont fait du mal et s'ils continuent de pratiquer le chantage affectif. Oui, c'est notre responsabilité que d'être attentifs aux signaux d'alerte que nous envoie notre corps. Oui, au terme de ce chemin exigeant par lequel nous acceptons de relire l'histoire de nos rapports avec nos parents, il y a l'espoir de naître à une authentique liberté intérieure". -- 4e de couvFrom the devotions: poems
