Des corps morts, raidis ou sanguinolents, d`autres qui basculent d`une terrasse ou par-dessus une balustrade, ou encore dans un ravin. Dix-sept nouvelles dans lesquelles Jean-Paul Demure explore la violence qui sommeille en chacun et etire, telle la corde de l`arc, cet instant fugace et fatal ou la vie quitte le corps, "Poussee par la main glacee de la mort". Ces sombres et saisissants tableaux sont rehausses d`un trait de plume acerbe ou ponctues d`un rire sarcastique, signature d`un auteur certes pessimiste, mais aussi enclin a une derision drole et salutaire. Ce qui laisse au lecteur le plaisir de vaciller lui aussi au bord de l`abime, avant la chute. Inclassable du polar francais, demure eснарре aux modes, mais sa voix...

In this completely unique and innovative book, Kristin Knox (author of MCQUEEN: Genius of a Generation) traces the roots of today`s ready-to-wear fashion designers to "traditional costume" clothing styles from more than 60 cultures around the world and explores how local or "street" fashions are coming back once again and influencing catwalks in fashion capitals from New York to Paris. "Traditional" refers to any clothing worn locally around the world before the rise of commercially produced clothing and includes the Japanese kimono, the Burqa, Imperial Chinese robes, and Turkish harem pants - all inspirations for top Western designers such as Coco Chanel, Christian Dior and, of course, Diane Von Furstenberg`s classic 1972 wrap dress...

By 1322, Mathilde of Westminster was considered the finest physician in London. But in her years as lady-in-waiting to Princess Isabella, she was drawn into the murky politics of the English court, where sudden, mysterious death was part of the tapestry of life.

A la fin d’une chasse, pendant la curée, les chiens dévorent les entrailles de la bête tuée. Pour le jeune Zola, qui déteste son époque, c’est le cœur de Paris, entaillé par les larges avenues de Napoléon III, que des spéculateurs véreux s’arrachent. Ce deuxième volume des Rougon-Macquart, histoire naturelle et sociale d’une famille sous le Second Empire, est l’un des plus violents. Zola ne pardonne pas ces fortunes rapides qui inondent les allées du Bois d’attelages élégants, de toilettes de Worms et de bijoux éclatants. Aristide Saccard a réussi. Mais tout s’est dénaturé autour de lui: son épouse, Renée, la femme qui...
