Bambi

BAMBIBambi is a coming-of-age novel that tells of the many ordeals a young deer must overcome after his mother is killed by hunters. The original text by Felix Salten, published in Germany in 1923, was met with immediate success, but was later banned and burned by Nazi authorities because of its "political allegory of the treatment of the Jewish people in Europe."

King Kong

KING KONGKing Kong, the legendary giant gorilla, was created by screenwriter and film producer Merian C. Cooper in 1933. In this retelling of the mythical movie, the narrator’s point of view alternates with King Kong’s, allowing the reader to glimpse into the monstrous gorilla's psyche. This original take on the famous story accentuates the similarities between Kong and the heroine, the beautiful but penniless actress Ann, who understands Kong’s loneliness, and his resentment for being turned into a sideshow attraction.

Le Corps des femmes : Ce que les artistes ont voulu faire de nous

THE FEMALE BODYWHAT ARTISTS WANTED TO MAKE OF USSince prehistoric times and the Venus of Willendorf, women have been the object of fantasies. Goddesses or prostitutes, virgins or witches, loving mothers or sexualized daughters: they have been portrayed, put on display, and overexposed from a predominantly masculine point of view. With stun-ning iconography, from Botticelli to Cindy Sherman, Picasso to Frida Kahlo, and many other illustrious artists, this book is an account of the evolution of women’s status, a journey through their sexual and political emancipation.

Les Croix de bois

WOODEN CROSSESIn 1919, Albin Michel published Les Croix de Bois by Roland Dorgelès, which forever revolutionized the war novel genre. Inspired by the author’s experiences as a soldier in the trenches of WWI, the book was immediately acclaimed by critics. JD Morvan and Facundo Percio deliver a brilliant adaptation of this horrific, uncompromising, yet sometimes humorous masterpiece by connecting Dorgelès’ novel with events from his own life, thus demonstrating the thin line that exists between truth and fiction.
