« Quand j’étais enfant, ma mère ne cessait de me répéter : "Arrête avec tes mensonges.” J’inventais si bien les histoires, paraît-il, qu’elle ne savait plus démêler le vrai du faux. J’ai fini par en faire un métier, je suis devenu romancier.Aujourd’hui, voilà que j’obéis enfin à ma mère : je dis la vérité. Pour la première fois. Dans ce livre.Autant prévenir d’emblée : pas de règlement de comptes, pas de violence, pas de névrose familiale. Mais un amour, quand même. Un amour immense et tenu secret. Qui a fini par me rattraper. »Magnifique, tout simplement.

19 novembre 1957Cher Monsieur Germain,J'ai laissé s'éteindre un peu le bruit qui m'a entouré tous ces jours-ci avant de venir vous parler un peu de tout mon coeur. On vient de me faire un bien trop grand honneur, que je n'ai ni recherché ni sollicité. Mais quand j'ai appris la nouvelle, ma première pensée, après ma mère, a été pour vous. Sans vous, sans cette main affectueuse que vous avez tendue au petit enfant pauvre que j'étais, sans votre enseignement, et votre exemple, rien de tout cela ne serait arrivé. (...)Je vous embrasse, de toutes mes forces.Albert CamusAlors qu'il vient de recevoir le prix Nobel de littérature, Albert Camus écrit à son ancien instituteur à Alger, celui sans qui "rien de tout cela ne serait arrivé", toute sa reconnaissance. L'ensemble de la correspondance entre les deux hommes et un extrait du Premier homme où apparaît le personnage de l'instituteur M. Bernard sont ici réunis. Une édition en forme d'hommage à ce lien magnifique de gratitude et de tendresse.

Wie Rudolf Brazda den Rosa Winkel überlebte§§Kurz vor der nationalsozialistischen Machtergreifung erlebt der junge Rudolf Brazda sein Coming-out als Homosexueller. Für kurze Zeit genießt er seine erste große Liebe, dann schlagen die Nationalsozialisten zu. Nach zwei Verhaftungen wird Brazda 1942 in das Konzentrationslager Buchenwald verschleppt. Dort überlebt er durch viel Glück - und dank seines ungebrochenen Humors und Optimismus. Alexander Zinn erzählt die Geschichte eines erfüllten Lebens, das trotz aller Widrigkeiten von Liebe und Lebensfreude geprägt ist. Zugleich schildert er die unbarmherzige Verfolgung homosexueller Männer während des Nationalsozialismus - eine Geschichte, die bis heute viele blinde Flecken hat.

"This is a book about football and Britain, and Britain and football. You can't fully understand one without the other; and if you haven't got a sense of humour it's not worth even trying. "My name's Tim Marshall and it's been a week since my last match. I support a football club. That's not just five words; it's a life sentence." Why do so many of us attend football grounds, rain or shine, week in week out, to bellow at our fellow countrymen? Because we love it. Football chants are the grassroots of the game, from the Premier League all the way down to the Conference and beyond. They're funny. And they're sharp. And in the UK they run very deep. In this witty and insightful account, Tim Marshall tells the story of British football through the songs and chants that give it meaning. This is a book about the fans, written for the fans, with all the flair and banter that bring the beautiful game to life. No other sport has a culture quite like it.

"A fascinating and absorbing chapter of New York social and financial history—it is hard to understand why it has never been written before.” —Louis Auchincloss"When it comes to the folkways of the rich, the powerful, and the privileged, Stephen Birmingham knows what he’s talking about.” —Los Angeles Times"Future American histories will have to take into account Mr. Birmingham’s financial and social history and imposing cast of characters.” —The New York Times Book ReviewAmong the Jewish families who emigrated from Germany to New York in the nineteenth century were the Loebs, the Goldmans, the Sachs, the Seligmans, and the Guggenheims, to name only a few. In New York, they quickly made their way from the Lower East Side to the Upper East Side, building vast fortunes by dint of hard work and moving from the tenements where they initially lived to exquisite mansions on Park Avenue and Fifth Avenue. Yet, despite their acquired wealth, they were denied entry into the upper reaches of New York society—the so-called 400—because of their religion, modest origins, and recent arrival in America. "Our Crowd” tells the engrossing story of the extraordinary society they built in New York.

"I read somewhere that everybody on this planet is separated by only six other people. Six degrees of separation...It's a profound thought...How every person is a new door, opening up into other worlds." Six Degrees of Separation is a modern American classic play: an explosive comedy that exposes white middle-class hypocrisy and prejudice. The play is a sharp, witty but serious exploration of the individual in society and the values or beliefs which motivate them. A young African-American man gains access to the homes of upper-class New Yorkers by pretending to be the son of actor Sidney Poitier. Treated with suspicion and then affection, he soon wreaks havoc in their comfortable lives. The play first opened off-Broadway in 1990 and, after playing to sold-out houses and ovating audiences, it was produced internationally and made into a blockbuster film starring Donald Sutherland, Stockard Channing and Will Smith in 1994. It won numerous awards, including an Olivier and New York Drama Critics' Circle Award.

"Slava Ukraini!" Strategy and the Spirit of Ukrainian Resistance tells the story of the volunteers lauded to have saved Ukraine twice. The volunteers first emerged in the spring of 2014 after the onset of the war in Donbas in a context characterized by ambiguity, state weakness, political uncertainty, and threat. They re-emerged again in February 2022 after the large-scale Russian invasion. Aimed at an interdisciplinary audience, this volume makes significant contributions to our understanding of events in Ukraine over the past decade. Based on ethnographic fieldwork with volunteer battalion fighters, the volume focuses on strategy, or the creation, control, and use of force. This framework is first applied to the volunteer militias to further the understanding of militia strategy conducted after 2014, and then to the first year and a half that followed the Russian invasion in 2022. "Slava Ukraini!" also discusses the long-term sociological impact of volunteer battalions and the war they fought in Ukraine. The Ukrainian spirit of resistance emerged first on the Maidan in November 2013, ignited the volunteer Spirit of 2014 after the Russian invasion and annexation of Crimea, and ultimately flared-up on a national scale in a manner which surprised the invading Russian forces in 2022. Yet initially the volunteers may also have exacerbated internal divisions in Ukraine. The Spirit of 2014 was also better suited to a war of movement than immobile trench warfare that left little room for heroism and aggressive soldiering. Unrealistic expectations about modern warfare led to disillusionment, and many volunteers leaving the war in 2015. The perceived stalemate and lack of Ukrainian soldiers by late 2023 raised the question of a similar dynamic witnessed in 2014 and 1914 alike.
