BABYSITTER

Joyce Carol Oates
- Fourth estate
- 8 June 2023
- 9780008536855
''A page-turner ... nothing less than magical'' Observer ''An extraordinary slice of suburban noir'' Daily Mail From one of America''s most renowned storytellers comes a novel about love and deceit, and lust and redemption, against a background of child abductions in the affluent suburbs of Detroit.

In the waning days of the turbulent 1970s, in the wake of unsolved killings that have shocked Detroit, the lives of several residents are drawn together, with tragic consequences. There is Hannah, wife of a prominent local businessman, who has begun an affair with a darkly charismatic stranger whose identity remains elusive; Mikey, a canny street hustler who finds himself on an unexpected mission to rectify injustice; and the serial killer known as Babysitter, an enigmatic and terrifying figure at the periphery of elite Detroit. As Babysitter continues his rampage of killings, these individuals intersect with one another in startling and unexpected ways.
Suspenseful, brilliantly orchestrated and engrossing, Babysitter is a starkly narrated exploration of the riskiness of pursuing alternate lives, calling into question how far we are willing to go to protect those whom we cherish most. In its scathing indictment of corrupt politics, unexamined racism, and the enabling of sexual predation in America, Babysitter is a thrilling work of contemporary fiction.

''Simply the most consistently inventive, brilliant, curious and creative writer going, as far as I''m concerned'' Gillian Flynn, author of Gone Girl ''Joyce Carol Oates is a writer who always takes your breath away'' Mail on Sunday ''A writer of extraordinary strengths'' Guardian

Cette histoire de l'ancien régime japonais est la réédition d'un ouvrage paru en 1990 de l'historien Ninomiya Hiroyuki. Spécialiste de la France moderne, Ninomiya retrace ici l'histoire de son propre pays pour un public francophone et la traduit en quelque sorte, la met en perspective pour la rendre parfaitement compréhensible.

En un style clair et concis, il revisite la foisonnante période qui court de la fin du XVIe siècle à l'effondrement du régime de shogun dans les années 1860. Tour de force étonnant qui permet de mieux comprendre aussi bien la nature d'une société d'ordres engagée dans un processus de modernisation, que le contexte historique donnant naissance au théâtre kabuki, à la poésie haïku ou à la peinture des estampes. Une époque charnière marquée par l'essor de la population urbaine, le développement d'un capitalisme marchand, mais aussi par une conflictualité sociale forte et une vitalité culturelle étonnante.

Une échappée belle au coeur de cette époque d'Edo qui précède et annonce les grands bouleversements de Meiji.

- Headline
- 1 November 2022
- 9781472295941
There are few shows in our lifetime that have garnered over a billion views, that have reached a global audience of 220 countries, that elicits an emotional reaction from a theme song, or that defined a period of time more for its viewers. That is simply because there is no show that is more iconic or beloved than Friends . It didn''t matter that their apartment was unrealistic by New York City''s standards or that they always had enough free time to hang out in a coffee shop, they were our friends, they were us. And over the last twenty-seven years, it has yet to lose its title of the greatest sitcom of all time. Yet, the nostalgia and the truth about their relationships is a story that only Matthew Perry could tell?especially as his addiction soared faster than his career. Heartbreaking and funny, Matthew''s honesty is explosive and unrivaled. Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing is an unforgettable memoir that shares the most intimate details of the love he lost, his darkest days, and his greatest friends.

Renaissance in the north : Holbein, Burgkmair, and the age of the fuggers

Guido Messling, Sande
- Hirmer
- 11 November 2023
- 9783777442037
Illustrious turning point - Augsburg as the centre of the German Renaissance Hans Holbein the Elder and Hans Burgkmair are regarded alongside Albrecht Dürer as the forerunners of Renaissance painting in Germany. The prosperous Imperial and trading city of Augsburg was an important centre during this artistic golden age. By means of high-quality works this volume presents a comprehensive insight into the epochal revolution from the Middle Ages to the modern age.

Augsburg was influenced by the humanist culture of Italy from an early stage. Thanks to the art-loving trading houses with international operations like the Fuggers, as well as the long sojourns of Emperor Maximilian I and the frequent Imperial diets, the city offered artists like Holbein the Elder and Burgkmair an ideal setting for the development of a new form of art. Together with the works of Dürer, Holbein the Younger and others, many of their most important works bear witness to the highly fertile and yet contrasting ways in which the two artists adopted the Italian Renaissance.
