En parallèle à sa magistrale Histoire de France, Jacques Bainville a écrit une Petite histoire de France pour les enfants. Il souhaitait que ceux-ci connaissent le nom des rois qui ont fait la France, comme le récit des grandes batailles où s´étaient illustrés les héros de notre pays. Au fil de la lecture, le récit des origines à nos jours surgit et les références qui constituent notre patrimoine commun, le fil de notre destin, apparaissent aux jeunes lecteurs. Le passé se déroule, telle une immense fresque. Les règnes s´enchaînent. Vercingétorix, Clovis, Charlemagne, Saint Louis, François Ier, Henri IV, Louis XIV, Napoléon... se succèdent jusqu´en 1920. La suite est racontée par Marc Geoffroy, auteur d´une centaine de textes et adaptations de CD pour enfants. Texte original et intégral de Jacques Bainville - Textes complémentaires de Marc Geoffroy - Présentation de 45 rois et empereurs - Avec 320 illustrations - Une trentaine de nouveaux textes complémentaires enrichit cette édition.

From the New York Times bestselling author of A Long Petal of the Sea comes a bold exploration of womanhood, feminism, parenting, aging, love and more (Associated Press). The Soul of a Woman is Isabel Allende s most liberating book yet. Elle When I say that I was a feminist in kindergarten, I am not exaggerating, begins Isabel Allende. As a child, she watched her mother, abandoned by her husband, provide for her three small children without resources or voice. Isabel became a fierce and defiant little girl, determined to fight for the life her mother couldn t have.As a young woman coming of age in the late 1960s, she rode the second wave of feminism. Among a tribe of like-minded female journalists, Allende for the first time felt comfortable in her own skin, as they wrote with a knife between our teeth about women s issues. She has seen what the movement has accomplished in the course of her lifetime. And over the course of three passionate marriages, she has learned how to grow as a woman while having a partner, when to step away, and the rewards of embracing one s sexuality.So what feeds the soul of feminists and all women today? To be safe, to be valued, to live in peace, to have their own resources, to be connected, to have control over our bodies and lives, and above all, to be loved. On all these fronts, there is much work yet to be done, and this book, Allende hopes, will light the torches of our daughters and granddaughters with mine. They will have to live for us, as we lived for our mothers, and carry on with the work still left to be finished.

Vincent van Gogh is considered one of the world's greatest painters, his work having had a huge and far-reaching influence on 20th-century art as well as remaining visually and emotionally powerful to this day. Van Gogh painted a series of pictures depicting sunflowers, having first been inspired by the yellow flowers in Paris when he saw them growing in the gardens of Montmartre. Sunflowers were symbolic of life and hope to the artist, and could also be associated with his concept of the sun glowing, yellow and hopeful.THE FINAL WORD. As William Morris said, "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful." Autorid: Flame Tree Studio
Enjoying an overdue break in Venice, the Bishop of Rhyminster has a chance encounter with Oliver Canford; a flamboyant tour guide, staying at the same hotel who grew up in a vicarage and read Theology at Cambridge. Despite misgivings from his wife, Bishop Bob offers him the post of Bishops Lay assistant. But Canford neglects his duties in favour of flirting with the Chorister Mums, pursuing eligible widows around Cathedral Close and disappearing to London to sing with his refined choir. When one of his absences extends to 48 hours, the Bishop worries. He calls in his old friend John Tedesco, who runs a bespoke detective agency with his colleague Lynne Davey. When a body is discovered in the Rhyme Chantry, a forbidding structure known as the Cage, the tiny tourist city is thrust under the media spotlight, suspicion falling on a leading member of the Cathedral staff. Join Tedesco and Davey as they encounter a byzantine world of rival voluntary groups, hard pressed clergy and warring choral societies. Can they cut through the confusion and solve the mystery of The Cage before DCI Bloomfield jumps to the wrong conclusion? Autorid: Radu Herklots
