la mer sur de frêles navires à voile pour venir se faire une vie dans cette lointaine Nouvelle-France ? Parmi ces femmes, certaines ont osé remonter le fleuve pour venir s'établir un jour à Varennes et à Verchères. Arrivées dans le cadre du seul programme mis en place par la France pour peuple le Canada, elles font ici l'objet d'un recueil qui expose ce qu'a été leur vie en ce pays. Ce livre lève le voile sur ces "mères de la nation", femmes invisibles dans l'histoire, qui, avec d'autres pionnières, ont contribué à peuple et à développer l'Amérique françaiseTon kaki qui t'adore: lettres d'amour en temps de guerre

leur premier baiser. Mais en août, la conscription sépare nos deux amoureux. Gérard est enrôlé dans l'armée canadienne, où il restera trois ans sans jamais être envoyé au front. Ils s'écriront plus d'un millier de lettres (une par jour), entretenant une relation amoureuse passionnée qui trouvera son accomplissement à leur mariage à la fin de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, en juillet 1945. Les quelques lettres présentées ici, tirées de cette monumentale correspondance, témoignent de la ferveur de cet amour de jeunesse, des difficultés soulevées par l'absence et l'éloignement, traçant un portrait touchant de cette génération d'amoureux contrariés par la guerre, mais animés par l'espoir, la foi et le désir.

Par Thich Hanh. 2023
An introduction to mindful walking, which can be done anywhere, at any time—even on a commute to work or school…
The fourth book in the bestselling Mindfulness Essentials series, a back-to-basics collection from world-renowned Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh that introduces everyone to the essentials of mindfulness practice. Slow, concentrated walking while focusing on in- and out-breaths allows for a unique opportunity to be in the present. There is no need to arrive somewhere—each step is the arrival to concentration, joy, insight, and the momentary enlightenment of aliveness. When your foot touches the Earth with awareness, you make yourself alive and the Earth real, and you forget for one minute the searching, rushing, and longing that rob our daily lives of awareness and cause us to "sleepwalk" through life. Thich Nhat Hanh shares amusing stories of the impact mindful walking has on both the walker and those who notice him, and shows how mindful walking can be a technique for diminishing depression, recapturing wonder, and expressing gratitude. How to Walk is a unique gift for all ages, sharing a simple practice that can have a profound effect on practitionersMy Louisiana sky (Major And Mrs Holt's Battlefield Guide To Ser.)

Par Tara Fraser. 2023
A lucid exploration of amnesia, selfhood, and who is left behind when the past is obliterated. Tara Sidhoo Fraser is…
thirty-one years old when a rare mutation in her brain causes a stroke. Awakening after surgery with no memory of her previous life, she attempts to piece it all back together through a haze of amnesia. Yet, as memories do begin to surface, they are seen through someone else's eyes-the person whose body she stole, whom she calls Ghost. Fighting to stabilize her existence, Tara struggles with the gulf between who she was and who she is now, while constantly battling and paying penance to Ghost. She meets Jude, who is also contending with their identity, the gap between who they are and who they present to the world. As Jude's transition progresses and they begin testosterone injections, Tara's conflict with Ghost heightens. Ghost's voice becomes stronger, and memories of hospital visits, old desires, and her ex threaten Tara's new relationship. She burrows deeper into the mystery of who she once was, recognizing the need to fuse herself and Ghost into one. When My Ghost Sings is a lyrical memoir of healing, a farewell letter, and an embracing/reclamation of selfhoodPlaisirs partagés
