From ratty attic to Auschwitz and back again, "Mother Night" is the confessions of Howard W Campbell Jr -an American, a notorious Nazi propagandist, and a US counter-spy - not a moral man.

Every child`s bookshelf should start with a collection of nursery rhymes so that these fantastic and nonsensical verses (some so old their meaning is long forgotten) are among the first magical words to sound in a child`s ear. This collection of over two hundred rhymes was assembled in 1903 with the family in mind (`Tradition in the nursery has acted as a severe editor`). and each page is illustrated each verse decorated, with the imcomparable drawing of Charles Robinson.
'More than 300 million people in the world speak English and the rest, it sometimes seems, try to...' Only Bill Bryson could make a book about the English language so entertaining. With his boundless enthusiasm and restless eye for the absurd, this is his astonishing tour of English. From its mongrel origins to its status as the world's most-spoken tongue; its apparent simplicity to its deceptive complexity; its vibrant swearing to its uncertain spelling and pronunciation, Bryson covers all this as well as the many curious eccentricities that make it as maddening to learn as it is flexible to use. Bill Bryson's classic "Mother Tongue" is a highly readable and hilarious tale of how English came to be the world's language.

L’été, le jardin de Monsieur Riche sent la rose, celui de Monsieur Pauvre sent la merguez et la sardine. À l’église, les riches sont devant, les pauvres derrière. À la guerre, c’est le contraire. Quand Madame Riche a des flatulences, Madame Pauvre pète. Quand Monsieur Riche chasse le lion, Monsieur Pauvre chasse les mouches. Madame Pauvre s’interroge: pourquoi on dit toujours pauvre con, jamais riche con? Dans cet ouvrage de sociologie légère, Jean-Louis Fournier, l’auteur de "Grammaire française et impertinente", rappelle fort à propos qu’il vaut mieux être riche et bien portant que pauvre et malade.

En analysant, depuis plus de trente ans, les liens qu’entretiennent les grands mouvements de société et l’obsession contemporaine de la production, Jean Baudrillard s’est placé au cœur de la problématique d’une génération rebelle aux repères imposés par la toute-puissance du marché. A la «virtualisation» de notre monde, à l’univocité du «commerce» des signes, aux vertus illusoires de la transparence et aux mystifications de la valeur marchande, il oppose la prodigalité de l’échange symbolique, le défi de la séduction, le jeu infini de l’aléatoire, la réversibilité du destin. Opérateurs de charme d’une pensée qui se...
