It's 2001, and Teresa, a young Italian suffering from insomnia and a generally fragile state of mind, has just arrived in Berlin with a grant to help organize an exhibit of Tutankhamen's treasure. Though she finds support in Ruben, a fellow Italian expat, she struggles to keep it together. Her one anchor is reading Howard Carter's book about his discovery of King Tut's tomb in 1922, finding solace in the Egyptologist's writing and the thought of that noble young pharaoh resting undisturbed for three thousand years.

Her family life-with her husband, Karim; her 4-year-old daughter, Lili; and her 17-year-old stepdaughter, Nora-is nothing but rushing around, screaming, and doors slamming. At work, they talk about agility, flexibility, and adaptation, but her workload is slipping away from her. As she drives through the countryside, she sees diseased wheat fields and polluted rivers.

Vietnam, 1965. A squad of American soldiers is deep in the La Drang Valley, marking bombing runs for air support. Straightforward enough, as missions go, but a shameful secret these men share weighs upon them, and in the jungle, danger lurks around every corner. When an unscheduled chopper drops off a reporter, the new face sparks off simmering tensions among the men. The surprises are only beginning, though, for soon they find themselves lost in a land with no night, mercilessly hunted by an inhuman creature... A gripping, horrific fable of violence, guilt, and the burden of trauma.

Opération Copperhead, c'est une histoire aussi vraie que rocambolesque du contrespionnage britannique pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. À partir d'un fait réel, Jean Harambat crée de toutes pièces une histoire d'une inventivité folle et réalise un pastiche désopilant et fantaisiste de trois protagonistes : les comédiens David Niven, Peter Ustinov et Clifton James.
Il s'agit, selon une idée de Winston Churchill, de recruter et de former un sosie (Meyrick Edward Clifton James) pour jouer le rôle du général Montgomery - le général des forces alliées, alors surveillé par les nazis - et ainsi induire en erreur l'ennemi quant au lieu réel du Débarquement. Dans le même temps, alors que la capitale anglaise subit le Blitz, la vie se déploie dans les cabarets où officie une vénéneuse - et néanmoins charmante - jeune femme, Vera.
Cette histoire burlesque où rien n'est entièrement vrai ni entièrement faux est aussi un hommage au cinéma, notamment à la « comédie sophistiquée » des années 1930 et 1940, avec un dynamisme, un sens de l'à-propos et un flot de dialogues (Lubitsch en était le maître) ! -
In 1864, a year after the death of Eugène Delacroix, Alexandre Dumas recounted the memories that marked his friendship with the great painter. From one anecdote to the next, Dumas' text reveals the personality of both painter and writer. All the while, a colorful portrait of the period takes shape; a period in which works of art are subject to fiery debates, intense admiration, and irrevocable rejection. With humor and passion, Catherine Meurisse invites herself into this very personal adaptation of Dumas' tribute to his friend.

Baudelaire: poète maudit, enfant terrible, lyric genius, crippling perfectionist. Bereft of a father at age five, he spent his days squandering the former's fortune on prostitutes and paintings, opium and alcohol, finery and laundry bills for his impeccably white dandy's collars. He loved a woman and gave her syphilis. This is her story. Muse, mulatto, mistress, mystery... little was known of Jeanne in her day, and even less remembered since. Yslaire pays tribute to a brimstone-and-hellfire affair from the annals of literature, two misunderstood souls who in their mutual misunderstanding afforded each other what little solace they found in life.

But that was before a strong wind, cramps, and 42.195 kilometers of ruthless competition combined to produce an astonishing upset...

But he and his men are dogged by a series of masked, would-be avengers all calling themselves Zorro. They are an almost laughable annoyance, simple peasants living out the fantasy of a local legend. Until one man shows up and starts picking off Gomez's men one by one, as stealthy as a fox. He brandishes a sword which he uses to carve the letter Z into his victims' cheeks... Could this be the true Zorro?

This first volume of the Ken Games series gives us a profile of Peter Fermat (aka Rock), a young man who, like each of the three main characters, is leading a double life. His story opens with a boxing match which has a nasty ending for the up-and-coming boxer, despite his victory. It's not long before we discover that Rock is not only striving to make it in the boxing world, but is also something of a mathematical genius, which is how he met his best friend, TJ. For the first time in all their years of friendship, TJ introduces Rock to a girlfriend, the lovely Anne. Anne and Rock soon establish a bond of trust when Rock discovers that Anne too is living a double life, even though Anne's secret is not exactly what she leads Rock to believe. This is just the beginning of the tangled web of lies and deception that gets ever more convoluted as the series goes on...

Birds wasting away in a national park, refusing to migrate. Identical geometric markings on the wings of completely different insect species. A pillar of dust in the desert. A small-time hood travels to India's shipbreaking yards in search of a giant nuclear-powered construction robot. A big-time crime boss makes a killing off the Algerian Revolution, in a world where it happened fifteen years later than in our own. "A good story," insists reporter Françoise Halfort, visited abruptly by a post-menopausal pregnancy, "is one that draws unexpected connections between seemingly unconnected events." Four star creators join talents on a vast canvas that takes in the entire French 20th century.
