de la carrière de Luciano Pavarotti, qui nous a quittés le 6 septembre 2007. D'entretiens privés en rencontres filmées avec celui que l'on consacra de son vivant comme "le plus grand ténor du XXe siècle", elle a recueilli une foule de confidences et d'anecdotes qu'elle nous livre aujourd'hui avec l'exigence qu'on lui connaît, mais aussi avec l'humour et le talent de la conteuse qu'elle est. De l'enfance innocente passée dans la petite ville de Modène à jouer au football en rêvant d'égaler la carrière du grand Caruso aux triomphes remportés sur les plus prestigieuses scènes lyriques du monde en passant par les méga-concerts, Ève Ruggieri nous raconte l'histoire de ce fabuleux destin.

en neuf étapes, depuis les amuse-bouche et les apéritifs jusqu'aux desserts et aux digestifs. [...] À travers le prisme de la prohibition, c'est la très ancienne lutte entre libre-arbitre et puissance publique qui est ici examinée. En étudiant ce que les sociétés choisissent de diaboliser, Grescoe nous convie à une extraordinaire équipée au coeur du désir, dans les méandres du vice et de l'interdit. Un ton nouveau, direct et rock'n'roll, dans la littérature de voyage, sans exotisme facile ni trompe-l'oeil politiquement correct : Grescoe tente toujours de se faufiler derrière le rideau du fond". -- 4e de couvCollection of essays on a period of time from the end of the Middle Ages (around 1500) to the beginning…

Par Michel Desgagnés. 2020
Pas moins de 140 bateaux de bois, dont une majorité de goélettes, ont été lancés des grèves des Éboulements (Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rive)…
entre 1782 et 1952. Leur construction et leur opération ont constitué pour ce village des activités importantes sur le plan économique. Cet ouvrage permet de voir comment les villageois ont appris le métier de marin et nous fait connaître quelques-unes des routes fluviales qu'ils ont empruntées avec leurs bateaux, car ils ne se contentaient pas de se rendre à Québec; avec les difficultés que l'éloignement entraînait. Par ailleurs, dès l'arrivée des premiers censitaires dans la seigneurie, et cela jusqu'au milieu du XIXe siècle et même plus tard, le fleuve s'est révélé une ressource importante pour cette population qui en a exploité les prairies de grève pour nourrir son bétail et qui a pratiqué la pêche au moins sur une petite échelle. Comme d'autres villages riverains du Saint-Laurent, celui des Éboulements doit maintenant faire face à l'érosion de ses berges. Ses plages, qui ont longtemps attiré le tourisme, sont aujourd'hui disparues. Né à Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rive dans une famille de marins et détenteur d'une maîtrise en histoire, Michel Desgagnés s'est toujours intéressé à l'histoire maritime du Québec, en particulier aux bateaux traditionnels. Il a réalisé, déjà, des travaux sur les goélettes de Charlevoix, les barges de pêche et les canots d'hiverMarco Polo and the discovery of the world
