L`amour, l`amitie, l`ambition: elles ont tout partage. A elles deux, Sophie et Elisabeth auraient pu faire une femme parfaite. Mais le pouvoir et le desir de tout posseder, jusqu`a se deposseder de soi, ont eu raison des beaux sentiments. Aujourd`hui, ce sont deux "amies" dont les destins sont si entremeles qu`ils finissent par se confondre. Seule la mort pourra les denouer, distinguer le vrai du faux, la victime du bourreau. Sur fond de scandales politico-financiers, ressentiments et passions inassouvies, un duo fatal a la Hitchcock dans lequel Sylvie Granotier brouille les pistes avec une inquietante maestria.
A witness. Such a simple concept - and yet for Dexter Morgan, a perfectly well-disguised serial killer, the possibility of a witness is terrifying. As an upstanding blood-spatter analyst for the Miami Police, Dexter has always managed to keep the darker side of his life out of the spotlight. An expert at finding truly bad people - murderers who`ve long escaped justice - Dexter has long been giving them his own special brand of attention. But now someone has seen him in the act. Dexter is being followed, manipulated and mimicked, leading him to realise that no one likes to have a double - especially when his double`s goal is to kill him. Dexter is not one to tolerate such in fact, he has a knack for extricating himself from trouble in his...

«Il y a quelques années vivait sur une de ses terres un seigneur russe de vieille famille, Cyrille Petrovitch Troïekourov. Sa richesse, sa haute naissance et ses relations lui donnaient un grand poids dans les provinces où se trouvaient ses biens. Les voisins étaient heureux de contenter ses moindres fantaisies; son seul nom faisait trembler les fonctionnaires du chef-lieu. Les occupations de tous les jours de Troïekourov consistaient en tournées à travers ses vastes propriétés, en festins prolongés et en facéties chaque jour inventées à cette occasion, et dont la victime était habituellement quelque nouvelle connaissance; encore de vieux amis même n`y...

American video and installation artist Doug Aitken exploded on the international art scene with his multi-screen work electric earth, which captivated audiences at the Venice and Whitney Biennales. This work focused on the bizarre nocturnal experiences of a young man exploring the edges of Los Angeles, presenting dream-like sequences which rearrange the linear flow of narrative into a series of unforgettable, disjointed photographic tableaux. Like much of his work, it contrasts the high-tech speed of contemporary daily life with the monotony of the urban landscape. In subsequent work set in distant places, from the island of Montserrat to the jungles of Guyana, Aitken creates unexpected yet beautiful imagery which encircles the viewer...

After tales from the USA and Britain, Bill Bryson turns his roving eye to Australia, the only island that is also a continent and the only continent that is also a country. It is the driest, flattest, most desiccated, infertile and climatically aggressive of all the inhabited continents. It has more things that can kill you in a very nasty way that anywhere else. Yet when Bill Bryson travelled to Australia he promptly fell in love with the country. And who can blame him? The people are cheerful, the cities safe and clean, the food is excellent, the beer is cold and the sun nearly always shines. He tries to find out why Aussies are so cool, digging up a past that reveals convicts, explorers, gold diggers and outlaws.
