Par Pico Iyer. 2023
INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER "Masterful…A book of inner journeys told through extraordinary exteriors…One of his very best." —Washington Post "Dazzling." —Time…
Magazine, Best Books of 2023 From "one of the most soulful and perceptive writers of our time" (Brain Pickings): a journey through competing ideas of paradise to see how we can live more peacefully in an ever more divided and distracted world. Paradise: that elusive place where the anxieties, struggles, and burdens of life fall away. Most of us dream of it, but each of us has very different ideas about where it is to be found. For some it can be enjoyed only after death; for others, it’s in our midst—or just across the ocean—if only we can find eyes to see it. Traveling from Iran to North Korea, from the Dalai Lama’s Himalayas to the ghostly temples of Japan, Pico Iyer brings together a lifetime of explorations to upend our ideas of utopia and ask how we might find peace in the midst of difficulty and suffering. Does religion lead us back to Eden or only into constant contention? Why do so many seeming paradises turn into warzones? And does paradise exist only in the afterworld – or can it be found in the here and now? For almost fifty years Iyer has been roaming the world, mixing a global soul’s delight in observing cultures with a pilgrim’s readiness to be transformed. In this culminating work, he brings together the outer world and the inner to offer us a surprising, original, often beautiful exploration of how we might come upon paradise in the midst of our very real livesHealing garden: cultivating and handcrafting herbal remedies

hommes étaient admis qu'une loi qui interdisait d'engager des policières. Grâce à sa ténacité et à sa témérité, elle est devenue, en 1975, en plein coeur de l'Année internationale de la femme, la première policière au Québec. Première femme dans un monde d'hommes, elle a relevé une multitude de défis, dont celui d'être promue enquêteuse et agente double à l'escouade régionale alcool et moralité. L'adrénaline, les joies, les frustrations, les indignations et les réussites, tant personnelles que professionnelles, marquent son parcours. Dotée d'un caractère fort, de beaucoup d'intuition, d'une personnalité pétillante et d'un franc-parler, elle ne s'en est jamais laissé imposer. Sa biographie est haute en couleur, riche en anecdotes étonnantes et en dialogues savoureux.Unbroken: My Fight for Survival, Hope, and Justice for Indigenous Women and Girls
