Créé au printemps 1939 le Groupe de chasse III/3 aura à peine le temps de s'entraîner que la déclaration de guerre lui fera quitter la Bourgogne pour rejoindre son terrain de campagne. Un drame lors de ce transfert amputera le groupe de 6 de ses pilotes, tués ou grièvement blessés. Reconstitué à Salon-de-Provence, le III/3 gagne l'Est de la France et passera la Drôle de guerre à Ochey (Meurthe-et-Moselle). Leur premier succès du 30 septembre 1939 leur regonfle leur moral mais les missions qui se succéderont jusqu'en avril resteront surtout des escortes d'avions de reconnaissance et de surveillance. L'arrivée du capitaine Richard en janvier 1940 à la tête du groupe apporte un nouvel état d'esprit mais sa mort prématurée peu de temps avant le choc du 10 mai 1940 pourrait être l’une des causes de sa relative discrétion "médiatique". Et pourtant, ses succès (et ses pertes) remportés en Belgique ou en Picardie à bord de Morane avant d'être transformé escadrille par escadrille sur Dewoitine 520, le classeront 11ème pour le nombre de ses victoires. Le GC III/3 réussit à passer en AFN mais est dissous en août 1940 après 482 jours d'existence.Bien que peu de documents officiels aient survécu jusqu'à aujourd'hui, les auteurs peuvent raconter ce parcours grâce à de formidables archives conservées dans les familles. Nous vous proposons de découvrir l’histoire de cette unité de l’armée de l’Air et de ses aviateurs à travers ces 208 pages, 300 photos, 4 cartes, 27 profils de Yann Le Gal.
Before Guy Gavriel Kay became known for his groundbreaking works of speculative fiction he was an accomplished poet, his work appearing in major literary journals such as "The Antigonish Review" and "Prism," Through the years, while writing his dramatic international bestsellers, Kay has continued to quietly explore the paths and boundaries of poetry as well. Now for the first time, Guy Gavriel Kay's poetry has been gathered and selected for publication. Readers of contemporary poetry will be captivated by the exquisite craft and power of these poems. Some are ironic and austere, slyly tracing the interplay of writer and world, present and past; others are sensual, even erotic, charting the mercurial but abiding nature of passion-in love, in language, in history.

This edition celebrates King Henry VI Part 2 as one of the most exciting and dynamic plays of the English renaissance theatre, with its exploration of power politics and social revolution and its focus on the relationship between divine justice and sin. An extensive discussion of performance history traces the play's progress on stage from abridgement and adaptation to full historical epic. A survey of criticism discusses the wide range of responses provoked by the play's handling of its historical theme, and concludes by focusing on the element of burlesque in the attempted social revolution portrayed.

Kõik vajub koost on Nigeeria autori Chinụa Achebe 1958. aastal ilmunud romaan, mis keskendub Nigeeria koloniseerimisele XIX sajandi lõpus. Peategelane Okonkwo on Umuofia-nimelise küla maadlusmeister. Romaani alguses on ta üks hõimu mõjukamaid mehi ja edukas jamsikasvataja. Sündmustiku arenedes tabab teda aga üks saatuselöök teise järel ning lõpuks seisab lugeja ees juba klassikalise tragöödia vääriline kangelane. Lugu Okonkwost, omamoodi Aafrika Vargamäe Andresest, on aga vaid vahend, mille abil Achebe annab oma vastuse Lääne vaatepunktist kirjutatud koloniseerimisnarratiividele. Achebe on esimene, kes kujutab Aafrika koloniseerimist põliselanike pilgu läbi, valades selle moodsa romaani vormi. Achebe ei kujuta traditsioonide kaitsel seisvat Okonkwot sugugi üheselt positiivse tegelasena, küll aga kellenagi, keda on võimalik mõista. Teost peetakse arhetüüpseks nüüdisaegseks Aafrika romaaniks ning selle mõjutusi ei saa ilmselt eitada ükski hiljem inglise keeles kirjutanud Aafrika autor. Tänavu möödub romaani esmailmumisest 60 aastat ja seda märgilist sündmust tähistatakse erinevates paikades üle maailma. Autorid: Chin?A Achebe, Heli Sepp
New, updated edition of the bestselling book that predicted post-9/11 global insecurity 'Outstanding ... combines a glimpse behind the security screens with a sharp analysis of the real global insecurities - growing inequality and unsustainability' - New InternationailistWritten in the late 1990s, Losing Control was years, if not decades, ahead of its time, predicting the 9/11 attacks, a seemingly endless war on terror and the relentless increase in revolts from the margins and bitter opposition to wealthy elites.Now, more than two decades later and in an era of pandemics, climate breakdown and potential further military activity in the Middle East, Asia and Africa, Paul Rogers has revised and expanded the original analysis, pointing to the 2030s and 40s as the decades that will see a showdown between a bitter, environmentally wrecked and deeply insecure world and a possible world order rooted in justice and peace.
