'I think you have something here' I said,'This could lead to a whole new way of understanding criminal behaviour. As far as I know no one's ever tried to figure out why serial killers kill. The implications are profound.'Haunting, heartfelt, and deeply human, Dr Ann Burgess's remarkable memoir combines a riveting personal narrative of fearless feminism and ambition, bone-chilling encounters with real-life monsters, and a revealing portrait of the ever-evolving US criminal justice system. A Killer By Design will inspire, terrify, and enlighten you in equal measure.It forces us to confront the age-old question 'What drives someone to kill, and how can we stop them?"Of all the colleagues I've worked with, Ann is one of the sharpest – and one of the toughest ... She taught us how to harness the chaos of serial killers' minds and helped us decipher the undecipherable. I'd recommend that everyone read A Killer By Design; not only is it a great page-turner, but it's about time Ann's story was heard' - JOHN E. DOUGLAS, former FBI criminal profiler and bestselling author of Mindhunter.

My fate is bonded to two princes- one born of blood, the other of power- but my trust lies in neither. My skin is cursed by the stars, my fate damned by desire. But when the dark prince offers me a bargain that will save his people and my life, the cruel and intoxicating male gives me no choice. Our union is his revenge, and I am his sacrifice. His lies are unforgivable. His wicked touch still bathes me in sin. He is my mate, and he is tortured by a curse to protect his people from his own family. I could now see him for exactly who he was. So why can't I get his alluring touch out of my head? I am the key to saving his kingdom, but he alone has the power to ruin me.
Is Love Stronger Than Vengeance? A Betrayal... Everything Poppy has ever believed in is a lie, including the man she was falling in love with. Thrust among those who see her as a symbol of a monstrous kingdom, she barely knows who she is without the veil of the Maiden. But what she does know is that nothing is as dangerous to her as him. The Dark One. The Prince of Atlantia. He wants her to fight him, and that's one order she's more than happy to obey. He may have taken her, but he will never have her.A Choice.... Casteel Da'Neer is known by many names and many faces. His lies are as seductive as his touch. His truths as sensual as his bite. Poppy knows better than to trust him. He needs her alive, healthy, and whole to achieve his goals. But he's the only way for her to get what she wants-to find her brother Ian and see for herself if he has become a soulless Ascended. Working with Casteel instead of against him presents its own risks. He still tempts her with every breath, offering up all she's ever wanted. Casteel has plans for her. Ones that could expose her to unimaginable pleasure and unfathomable pain. Plans that will force her to look beyond everything she thought she knew about herself-about him. Plans that could bind their lives together in unexpected ways that neither kingdom is prepared for. And she's far too reckless, too hungry, to resist the temptation.A Secret... But unrest has grown in Atlantia as they await the return of their Prince. Whispers of war have become stronger, and Poppy is at the very heart of it all. The King wants to use her to send a message. The Descenters want her dead. The wolven are growing more unpredictable. And as her abilities to feel pain and emotion begin to grow and strengthen, the Atlantians start to fear her. Dark secrets are at play, ones steeped in the blood-drenched sins of two kingdoms that would do anything to keep the truth hidden. But when the earth begins to shake, and the skies start to bleed, it may already be too late.

« L’adolescence est le seul temps où l’on ait appris quelque chose. »Dans ce deuxième volume d’À la recherche du temps perdu, couronné par le prix Goncourt en 1919, le héros est maintenant adolescent. À Paris, il écoute la célèbre Berma au théâtre, pénètre dans le salon de Charles Swann et de son épouse Odette en se liant avec leur fille Gilberte, puis fait la connaissance de l’écrivain Bergotte qu’il admire depuis l’enfance. À Balbec ensuite, avec sa grand-mère et Françoise, il découvre la vie bourdonnante du Grand-Hôtel, les églises normandes et les plaisirs du bord de la mer. Il fait enfin la rencontre des Guermantes, Saint-Loup et le baron de Charlus, ainsi que du peintre Elstir et, vision inoubliable, celle d’Albertine et de ses amies de la « petite bande » remontant la digue…Au lendemain de la Grande Guerre, Proust obtient, avec À l’ombre des jeunes filles en fleurs, le succès qu’il escomptait. Ce volume, qu’il qualifiait d’« intermède languissant », avant les thématiques plus sombres des volumes suivants, nous donne à lire une œuvre riche et somptueuse, où affleure la vocation d’écrivain et où l’éducation sentimentale prend un nouveau tournant.Édition de Julie André.

"Que celui qui pourrait écrire un tel livre serait heureux, pensais-je, quel labeur devant lui ! Pour en donner une idée, c'est aux arts les plus élevés et les plus différents qu'il faudrait emprunter des comparaisons ; car cet écrivain, qui d'ailleurs pour chaque caractère en ferait apparaître les faces opposées, pour montrer son volume, devrait préparer son livre minutieusement, avec de perpétuels regroupements de forces, comme une offensive, le supporter comme une fatigue, l'accepter comme une règle, le construire comme une église, le suivre comme un régime, le vaincre comme un obstacle, le conquérir comme une amitié, le suralimenter comme un enfant, le créer comme un monde sans laisser de côté ces mystères qui n'ont probablement leur explication que dans d'autres mondes et dont le pressentiment est ce qui nous émeut le plus dans la vie et dans l'art. Et dans ces grands livres-là, il y a des parties qui n'ont eu le temps que d'être esquissées et qui ne seront sans doute jamais finies, à cause de l'ampleur même du plan de l'architecte. Combien de grandes cathédrales restent inachevées !" Marcel Proust, Le Temps retrouvé.
C’est l’histoire d’hommes et de femmes qui ont espionné pour l’Est durant la guerre froide. Des témoignages, jusqu’alors dissimulés dans des coffres-forts de l’ancien bloc soviétique, sont sortis de l’ombre lors de l’ouverture des archives de la StB, filiale tchécoslovaque du KGB. La lecture de ces documents top secret révèle qu’une trentaine de Français, aux noms souvent familiers, journalistes, hommes politiques ou hauts fonctionnaires, ont livré des secrets d’État ou infiltré des médias, collaborant pour de l’argent ou par pure idéologie. Un regard inédit sur l’histoire récente de la France et les manipulations de la Russie d’aujourd’hui. Vincent Jauvert est grand reporter, ancien chef du service étranger de L’Obs et spécialiste des affaires de renseignement. Il a notamment publié La Mafia d’État (Seuil, 2021) et Le Dictionnaire amoureux de l’espionnage (Plon, 2023).

A la sombra de las muchachas en flor asciende un grado en la escala del tiempo del ciclo proustiano A la busca del tiempo perdido: el innominado Narrador es ahora un adolescente que pasea por el malecón de una estación balnearia con la mirada dividida entre el mar y una pandilla de muchachas sobre las que vuelca sus sueños de despertar sexual, hechos de velos y de mitos. Las pulsiones de la sexualidad incipiente y el contacto a través de la lectura, del teatro y del arte con la idea de «creación» lo empujan hacia un mundo distinto del real; el Narrador navega a tientas en un mar de sentimientos que modifican la realidad según su deseo y que tienen por único fruto el tormento de los celos y la insatisfacción.
