Par Sherrill Grace. 2021
Timothy Findley (1930-2002) was one of Canada's foremost writers—an award-winning novelist, playwright, and short-story writer who began his career as…
an actor in London, England. Findley was instrumental in the development of Canadian literature and publishing in the 1970s and 80s . During those years, he became a vocal advocate for human rights and the anti-war movement. His writing and interviews reveal a man concerned with the state of the world, a man who believed in the importance of not giving in to despair, despite his constant struggle with depression. Findley believed in the power of imagination and creativity to save us. Tiff: A Life of Timothy Findley is the first full biography of this eminent Canadian writer. Sherrill Grace provides insight into Findley's life and struggles through an exploration of his private journals and his relationships with family, his beloved partner, Bill Whitehead, and his close friends, including Alec Guinness, William Hutt, and Margaret Laurence. Based on many interviews and exhaustive archival research, this biography explores Findley's life and work, the issues that consumed him, and his often profound depression over the evils of the twentieth-century. Shining through his darkness are Findley's generous humour, his unforgettable characters, and his hope for the future. These qualities inform canonic works like The Wars (1977), Famous Last Words (1981), Not Wanted on the Voyage (1984), and The Piano Man's Daughter (1995)Becoming supernatural: How common people are doing the uncommon

Par Sophie Grégoire Trudeau. 2024
Sophie Grégoire Trudeau invites readers on a deeply personal journey toward self-knowledge, acceptance, and empowerment, drawing on the expertise of…
top psychologists, psychiatrists, scientists, and thought leaders.As a passionate advocate for mental health, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau believes that in order to know and accept ourselves fully, we need to understand why we think and feel the way we do, and recognize the experiences, attitudes, and patterns that may be holding us back. And yet, all of us are capable of growth and positive change, if we're willing to stay open and curious throughout our lives.In Closer Together, Sophie shares moments from her own journey: from her childhood, through her struggles with an eating disorder in her teens and early adulthood; from a career as a speaker and television host to de facto "first lady" and mother of three. Above all, Sophie is a warm and empathetic connector, and her book is enriched by exclusive interviews with experts such as Gabor Maté, Liz Plank, Terrence Real, Catherine Price, Harville Hendrix, and Helen LaKelly Hunt—to name just a few—as she delves into the science behind brain health and our unique emotional signatures. She explores the questions that matter the most for our individual and collective growth, and in how we interact with others:How does the way we were raised contribute to our sense of self?How can we better prepare ourselves to deal with big emotions?What do we need from our relationships, and what can we contribute to them?What role do physical activity and creative pursuits play in mental health?How can we let go of what doesn’t serve us and nurture what does?Drawing on her own mindfulness and yoga practices, Sophie also offers journalling prompts and other tools that will guide readers as they explore these questions in their own lives. In creating a space for openness, playfulness, and creativity, Sophie inspires us to see that there are more things that bring us together than separate us, allowing us to stand in the light of our true potential.Knife: Meditations after an Attempted Murder

Par Salman Rushdie. 2024
"Il était essentiel que j'écrive ce livre : une manière d'accueillir ce qui est arrivé, et de répondre à la…
violence par l'art." Pour la première fois, Salman Rushdie s'exprime sans concession sur l'attaque au couteau dont il a été victime le 12 août 2022 aux États-Unis, plus de trente ans après la fatwa prononcée contre lui. Le romancier lève le voile sur la longue et douloureuse traversée pour se reconstruire après un acte d'une telle violence ; jusqu'au miracle d'une seconde chance. "Le Couteau" se lit aussi comme une réflexion puissante, intime et finalement porteuse d'espoir sur la vie, l'amour et le pouvoir de la littérature. C'est également une ode à la création artistique comme espace de liberté absolue. Clément Bresson met tout son talent au service de la plume limpide et directe de Salman Rushdie, qui témoigne ici de l'attentat dont il a été victime.

Après Pensouillard le hamster et Egoman, Serge Marquis rejoint Édito et poursuit son cycle de réflexion sur l'ego. Cette fois,…
il se questionne sur le "JE", l'identité aux multiples facettes que nous nous fabriquons tous et qui nous éloigne de qui nous sommes vraiment. "JE" a une obsession : éviter toute forme d'inconfort. Dès qu'il se sent menacé, il active une sorte d'interrupteur : une switch qui se met à on et qu'on aura bien du mal à remettre ensuite à off. Afin de mieux comprendre ce mécanisme, Serge Marquis se met lui-même en scène et propose une succession de situations cocasses qui poussent irrémédiablement son "JE" à appuyer sur le bouton de paniqueEntre le cœur et l'âme: recueil de cheminement personnel

et l’illustrateur ont rédigé ou contribué aux descriptions des images, qui sont incluses dans le corps et la narration du texte. Florent, un garçon de dix ans, surprend une conversation entre ses mamans : devant l'état de la planète, elles se demandent si elles veulent avoir un deuxième enfant. À travers une série de mots impossibles à comprendre, il retient l’hésitation dans leurs voix, la peur dans leurs yeux, la main que l’une pose sur le ventre de l’autre, comme quand il n’arrive plus à s’endormir. Florent comprend qu’il y a trop d’humains sur Terre, qu’il ne faut plus faire d’enfants, qu’il aurait fallu arrêter bien avant et que lui-même est de trop. Ses mamans entendront-elles son cri silencieux?
