Tous les quinze jours, Léa rend visite à Janine avec qui elle souhaite entrer en amitié radicale. Rapidement, elle se heurte à un obstacle : comment tisser un lien dans des fenêtres de temps limité ? Car Janine est une personne âgée et précaire, qui vit dans un EHPAD. Des mondes séparent les quotidiens de Léa et Janine qui vont, patiemment et à petits pas, construire des ponts pour se retrouver. Juste une dent en or est un récit qui transperce avec douceur et colère. Léa Anaïs Machado nous partage les strates d’une relation faite d’envies et d’empêchements et souffle, au passage, sur les braises de notre mémoire collective.

At the dawn of the next world war, a plane crashes on an uncharted island, stranding a group of schoolboys. At first, with no adult supervision, their freedom is something to celebrate; this far from civilization the boys can do anything they want. Anything. They attempt to forge their own society, failing, however, in the face of terror, sin and evil. And as order collapses, as strange howls echo in the night, as terror begins its reign, the hope of adventure seems as far from reality as the hope of being rescued. Labeled a parable, an allegory, a myth, a morality tale, a parody, a political treatise, even a vision of the apocalypse, Lord of the Flies is perhaps our most memorable novel about “the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart.”

Alternate cover edition of ISBN 9780062060624. Achilles, "the best of all the Greeks," son of the cruel sea goddess Thetis and the legendary king Peleus, is strong, swift, and beautiful, irresistible to all who meet him. Patroclus is an awkward young prince, exiled from his homeland after an act of shocking violence. Brought together by chance, they forge an inseparable bond, despite risking the gods' wrath. They are trained by the centaur Chiron in the arts of war and medicine, but when word comes that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped, all the heroes of Greece are called upon to lay siege to Troy in her name. Seduced by the promise of a glorious destiny, Achilles joins their cause, and torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus follows. Little do they know that the cruel Fates will test them both as never before and demand a terrible sacrifice.

In the twenty-second century Earth obtains limitless, free energy from a source science little understands: an exchange between Earth and a parallel universe, using a process devised by the aliens. But even free energy has a price. The transference process itself will eventually lead to the destruction of the Earth's Sun--and of Earth itself. Only a few know the terrifying truth--an outcast Earth scientist, a rebellious alien inhabitant of a dying planet, a lunar-born human intuitionist who senses the imminent annihilation of the Sun.  They know the truth--but who will listen?  They have foreseen the cost of abundant energy--but who will believe?  These few beings, human and alien, hold the key to the Earth's survival.

Fille illégitime d'un important prélat, Iodis a grandi à l'abbaye de Réol aux côtés de jeunes nobles mieux nés. Elle y étudie la Langue, une magie liturgique répondant par des visions aux questions de ceux qui la maîtrisent. Espérant échapper à la vie monastique en étant choisie comme Doctorante, Iodis trouve une rivale déterminée en la personne d'Halcyon de Monterréol, une nouvelle venue à qui tout semble réussir et dont les manières fuyantes lui semblent aussitôt suspectes. Lorsqu'un précieux tableau et le moine qui le peignait disparaissent en laissant derrière eux les traces d'une violente altercation, Iodis n'a plus de doute : Halcyon sait quelque chose et cache un secret qui pourrait compromettre l'abbaye tout entière.

The near-distant future. Millions of kilometres from Earth. The crew of the Six-Thousand Ship consists of those who were born, and those who were made. Those who will die, and those who will not. When the ship takes on a number of strange objects from the planet New Discovery, the crew is perplexed to find itself becoming deeply attached to them, and human and humanoid employees alike start aching for the same things: warmth and intimacy. Loved ones who have passed. Shopping and child-rearing. Our shared, far-away Earth, which now only persists in memory. Gradually, the crew members come to see their work in a new light, and each employee is compelled to ask themselves whether they can carry on as before and what it means to be truly living. Structured as a series of witness statements compiled by a workplace commission, Ravn's crackling prose is as chilling as it is moving, as exhilarating as it is foreboding. Wracked by all kinds of longing, The Employees probes into what it means to be human, emotionally and ontologically, while simultaneously delivering an overdue critique of a life governed by work and the logic of productivity.

From the moment she receives the news of her aunt’s diagnosis, Linnea vows to spend each Tuesday afternoon with Rachel. Every week, she listens to her aunt’s stories and learns devastating secrets about the woman she thought she knew better than anyone. Aunt Rachel has done awful, unspeakable things in her life, but nothing will be as bad as her final confession. Can Linnea handle the truth, and will Rachel live long enough to tell it all?
