Sur la crise
Écologie, économie, politique... Il n'est pas de domaine qui ne soit hanté par l'idée de crise. Et pourtant, ce mot galvaudé, synonyme d'incertitude et de rupture, s'est comme vidé de l'intérieur, jusqu'à devenir "grossier et creux". Avec clarté et sagesse, Edgar Morin tente de lui redonner un peu d'épaisseur et de faire émerger une conscience de la crise en analysant les bouleversements qui ont secoué le XXe siècle, pour réfléchir ensuite à notre entrée dans le XXIe siècle, entre chaos et renaissance. En envisageant la crise comme une sorte de laboratoire pour étudier in vitro l'évolution de la société, Edgar Morin interroge le destin de l'identité humaine et rend possible l'avènement d'une nouvelle vision du monde.

About the Author Edgar Morin (né en 1921), sociologue et philosophe, directeur de recherches émérite au CNRS, est l'auteur de plus d'une soixantaine d'ouvrages.

Le monde a-t-il été créé en sept jours ?
From the Back CoverComment la croyance peut-elle aller à l'encontre de ce que l'on sait ? Derrière cette question, volontairement provocante, Pascal Picq interroge les origines de l'Univers, de la Vie, et de l'Homme sur la Terre. S'appuyant sur la longue histoire des sciences, il montre en creux la résistance de nos esprits modernes à comprendre le monde hors des sentiers sacrés. Les questions sur les commencements, nous dit-il, importent autant que leurs réponses, variées et riches. Car la curiosité humaine ne se tarit jamais. Au cours des derniers siècles, Charles Darwin puis Albert Einstein ont repoussé les limites du monde. Visionnaires conscients - et inquiets aussi - de briser des tabous, ils ont ouvert des voies essentielles à la recherche moderne. On sait depuis que rien n'est éternel, que tout évolue : l'Univers, la Vie et l'Homme...About the AuthorPascal Picq est paléoanthropologue. Après une thèse à l'université Paris VI et des études postdoctorales à l'université Duke (États-Unis), il a introduit l'éthologie dans le champ de l'anthropologie évolutionniste et poursuit désormais ses travaux sur l'évolution en cours de l'Humanité. Il est l'auteur de nombreux ouvrages parmi lesquels Le monde a-t-il été créé en sept jours ? (collection Champs Flammarion) et 2017 de Premiers Hommes ainsi que sa version illustrée Premier Homme, et une version pour les enfants Premier Homme, les dernières découvertes scientifiques expliquées aux enfants (Flammarion, 2017). Il publie en 2019, L'Intelligence artificielle et les chimpanzés du futur (Odile Jacob).
Discours sur l’origine de l’univers
D'où vient l'univers ? Et d'où vient qu'il y a un univers ? Irrépressiblement, ces questions se posent à nous. Et dès qu'un discours prétend nous éclairer, nous tendons l'oreille, avides d'entendre l'écho du tout premier signal : les accélérateurs de particules vont bientôt nous révéler l'origine de l'univers en produisant des "big bang sousterre" : les données recueillies par le satellite Planck nous dévoiler le "visage de Dieu" : certains disent même qu'en vertu de la loi de la gravitation l'univers a pu se créer de lui-même, à partir de rien... Le grand dévoilement ne serait donc devenu qu'une affaire d'ultimes petits pas ? Rien n'est moins sûr... Car de quoi parle la physique quand elle parle d'"origine" ? Qu'est-ce que les théories actuelles sont réellement en mesure de nous révéler ? À bien les examiner, les perspectives que nous offre la cosmologie contemporaine sont plus vertigineuses encore que tout ce que nous avons imaginé : l'univers a-t-il jamais commencé ?From the Back CoverD'où vient l'univers?

A Very Easy Death
Long considered one of Simone de Beauvoir's masterpieces, A Very Easy Death is a profoundly affecting, day-by-day recounting of her mother's final days after she is hospitalized following a fall. Though a devout Catholic, her faith is subsumed by her terror of death, and as her body fails, she clings to life with fierce, primal desperation. In depicting her mother's refusal to 'go gentle' while her autonomy and dignity are taken from her, Simone de Beauvoir 'shows the power of compassion when it is allied with acute intelligence' (Sunday Telegraph). Powerful, touching and sometimes shocking, this is an end-of-life account that no reader is likely to forget.
The Mill House Murders: The Classic Japanese Locked Room Mystery (Pushkin Vertigo)

Scenes from a Childhood
WINNER OF THE 2023 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE Scenes from a Childhood is the latest collection of stories by Jon Fosse, one of Norway's most celebrated authors and playwrights, famed for the minimalist and unsettling quality of his writing. In the title work, a loosely autobiographical narrative covers infancy to awkward adolescence, unearthing the moments of childhood that linger longest in the imagination. In 'And Then My Dog Will Come Back To Me', a haunting and dream-like novella, a dispute between neighbours escalates to an inexorable climax. Taken from various sources, the texts gathered here together for the first time demonstrate that the short story is one of the recurrent modes of Fosse's imagination, and occasions some of his greatest works.
The Other Name: Septology I-II
WINNTER OF THE 2023 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURESeptology I-II follows the lives of two men living close to each other on the west coast of Norway. The year is coming to a close and Asle, an ageing painter and widower, is reminiscing about his life. He lives alone, his only friends being his neighbour, Åsleik, a bachelor and traditional Norwegian fisherman-farmer, and Beyer, a gallerist who lives in Bjørgvin, a couple hours’ drive south of Dylgja, where he lives. There, in Bjørgvin, lives another Asle, also a painter. He and the narrator are doppelgangers – two versions of the same person, two versions of the same life. Written in hypnotic prose that shifts between the first and third person, Septology calls into question concrete notions around subjectivity and the self. What makes us who we are? And why do we lead one life and not another? Through flashbacks, Fosse deftly explores the convergences and divergences in the lives of both Asles, slowly building towards a decisive encounter between them both. A writer at the zenith of his career, with Septology Fosse presents us with an indelible and poignant exploration of the human condition that will endure as his masterpiece.
A New Name: Septology VI-VII
Asle is an ageing painter and widower who lives alone on the southwest coast of Norway. His only friends are his neighbour, Åsleik, a traditional fisherman-farmer, and Beyer, a gallerist who lives in the city. There, in Bjørgvin, lives another Asle,also a painter but lonely and consumed by alcohol. Asle and Asle are doppelgängers – two versions of the same person, two versions of the same life, both grappling with existential questions.In this final instalment of Jon Fosse’s Septology, the major prose work by ‘the Beckett of the twenty-first century’ (Le Monde), Christmas is approaching. Tradition has it that Åsleik and Asle eat lutefisk together, but this year Asle has agreed for the first time to celebrate Christmas with Åsleik and his sister, Guro. On Christmas Eve, Åsleik, Asle, and the dog Bragi take Åsleik’s boat out on the Sygnefjord. Meanwhile, we follow the lives of the two Asles as younger adults in flashbacks: the narrator meets his lifelong love, Ales: joins the Catholic Church: starts exhibiting with Beyer: and can make a living by trying to paint away all the pictures stuck in his mind. After a while, Asle and Ales leave the city and move to the house in Dylgja. The other Asle gets married too, but his wedding ends with a sobbing bride and is followed soon after by a painful breakup.Written in melodious and hypnotic ‘slow prose’, A New Name: Septology VI-VII is a transcendent exploration of the human condition by Jon Fosse, and a radically other reading experience – incantatory, hypnotic, and utterly unique.
Drive your Plow over the Bones of the Dead
With DRIVE YOUR PLOW OVER THE BONES OF THE DEAD, Man Booker International Prize-winner Olga Tokarczuk returns with a subversive, entertaining noir novel. In a remote Polish village, Janina Duszejko, an eccentric woman in her sixties, recounts the events surrounding the disappearance of her two dogs. She is reclusive, preferring the company of animals to people: she's unconventional, believing in the stars: and she is fond of the poetry of William Blake, from whose work the title of the book is taken. When members of a local hunting club are found murdered, Duszejko becomes involved in the investigation. By no means a conventional crime story, this existential thriller by `one of Europe's major humanist writers' (GUARDIAN) offers thought-provoking ideas on our perceptions of madness, injustice against marginalized people, animal rights, the hypocrisy of traditional religion, belief in predestination - and caused a genuine political uproar in Tokarczuk's native Poland.
A Winter’s Promise
Lose yourself in the fantastic world of the arks and in the company of unforgettable characters in this French runaway hit.Plain-spoken, headstrong Ophelia cares little about appearances. Her ability to read the past of objects is unmatched in all of Anima and, what's more, she possesses the ability to travel through mirrors, a skill passed down to her from previous generations. Her idyllic life is disrupted, however, when she is promised in marriage to Thorn, a taciturn and influential member of a distant clan. Ophelia must leave all she knows behind and follow her fiance to Citaceleste, the capital of a cold, icy ark known as the Pole, where danger lurks around every corner and nobody can be trusted. There, in the presence of her inscrutable future husband, Ophelia slowly realizes that she is a pawn in a political game that will have far-reaching ramifications not only for her but for her entire world.
True History of the Kelly Gang
'I lost my own father at 12 yrs of age and know what it is to be raised on lies and silences my dear daughter you are presently too young to understand a word I write but this history is for you and will contain no single lie may I burn in hell if I speak false.' In a dazzling act of ventriloquism, Peter Carey gives the Australian outlaw Ned Kelly a voice so wild, passionate and original that it is impossible not to believe that the famous bush ranger himself is speaking from beyond the grave. Carey gives us Ned Kelly as orphan, as Oedipus, as horse thief, farmer, bush ranger, reformer, bank-robber, police-killer and, finally, as his country's beloved Robin Hood. In 1878 Francis Harty, a poor farmer, said, 'Ned Kelly is the best bloody man that has ever been in Benalla, I would fight up to my knees in blood for him - I have known him for years, I would take his word sooner than another man's oath'. By the time of his hanging in 1880 a whole country would seem to agree - and it is a measure of Peter Carey's achievement that he has not only made art from his country's great story but that he persuades us all to understand the true measure of that 'best bloody man'.

Normal People (Winner of The Costa Novel Award 2018)
LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2018Connell and Marianne grow up in the same small town in rural Ireland. The similarities end there: they are from very different worlds. When they both earn places at Trinity College in Dublin, a connection that has grown between them lasts long into the following years.This is an exquisite love story about how a person can change another person's life - a simple yet profound realisation that unfolds beautifully over the course of the novel. It tells us how difficult it is to talk about how we feel and it tells us - blazingly - about cycles of domination, legitimacy and privilege. Alternating menace with overwhelming tenderness, Sally Rooney's second novel breathes fiction with new life.
