BIOGRAPHY

MARIA CALLAS’ LAST TOURMaria Callas, l’ultime tournée

Robert Sutherland Foreword by Tom VolfAugust 2017 – 280 pages – 8-page photo section

In 1973 pianist Robert Sutherland was invited to help Maria Callas prepare her comeback tour. He travelled with her for 15 months and then worked with her in the studio until shortly before her death.This book depicts Maria Callas and Giuseppe di Stefano in their doom-laden 1973-4 concert tour. This attractive and candid memoir provides one of the best available snapshots of these two gifted and artists and their attempt to prove the world and themselves that their ageing voices were still amazing. Sutherland evokes other people’s paranoia--that of the older accompanist, Ivor Newton, whom he eventually replaced, that of Callas and her cir-cle--and successfully portrays himself as a humble servant of their music. He recalls Callas saying: «A diva is a diva ... a great personality. Her achievement depends on the strength of her will when she knows what she must do. I am a diva. My audiences love me but they would not want me as the girl next door. I don’t care about the response of the critics. What matters is the feeling you receive from the people who are paying a high dollar to hear you sing.» --

This book was first published in the UK in 1999 (Constable). New foreword. World rights.Full English text available

THE AUTHORIn this book Robert Sutherland portrays Maria Callas as a human being. For years people have been obsessed by this woman, indeed they have been prepared to swallow any ru-mour or whisper relating to the Diva’s life and career. At last we have a true account, from Robert Sutherland. He dispels many myths about Callas. The humility, integrity, honesty, humour and charm in his writing makes this book one of the most fascinating reads ever!

CHE GUEVARA’S LAST DAYSLes Derniers Jours de Che Guevara

Frédéric FauxSeptember 2017 – 240 pages – 8-page photo section

His last mission in Bolivia… as recounted by a journalistwho went on his foot steps in the Bolivian jungle,

50 years after his execution

This narrative ties in with the 50th anniversary of the Che’s death (Oct. 9th, 1967), exe-cuted in the Bolivian hamlet of La Higuera after one year of a guerrilla war. Argentinian backpacker, motorcyclist from Patagonia to the Mexican jungle, Ernesto Guevara entered history in Cuba, where he fought as a guerrilla before he became a minister. But it is in Bo-livia that the man became a myth. For almost a year, starting from his arrival in La Paz (Nov. 3rd, 1966) under an alias, helped only by a 40 troops, Che attempted to set fire to Latin America. “Never, in history, has a man undertaken such a huge task”, wrote Fidel Castro.So as to recount this epic, Frédéric Faux relied on the writings of the guerrillas, including the famous Bolivia Diary by the Che. He met researchers as well as people close to the Che: Carlos Soria, who updated and studied Guevara’s diary; Loyola Guzman, who ma-naged in La Paz the network of guerilla’s support. He spent one month in Nancahuaza zone, to meet witnesses: some Muyumpampa’s inhabitants who were Che’s soldiers; Gary Prado Salmon, the officer who captured him…He tells about his trip to the terra guevarista, a story following closely the upheavals of the guerrillas, but also providing a sensitive, personal testimony on the Che’s last days.

THE AUTHORJournalist and traveller, Frédéric Faux, 48, has lived since 2012 in La Paz (Bolivia) where he is the correspondent of European medias such as the RSR (Swiss radio), French and Swiss dailies Le Figaro and Le Temps. After an assignment in Australia, he lived six years in El Salvador, where he followed Latino gangs. In Bolivia, he wrote on cocaine traffics (Coca!, an investigation in the Andes, Actes Sud, 2015) and on Bolivian Rebels (Ateliers Henri Dougier, 2016).

LENIN: THE RED TYRANTLénine, le Tyran Rouge

Luc MarySeptember 2017 – 300 pages – 8-page photo section

25th October 1917, Petrograd’s armed insurrection started the October Revolution

An hero of working classes or a pitiless tyrant? Vladimir Ilitch Oulianov, aka Lenin (1870-1924), keeps arousing passions, intriguing and inspiring revolutionary vocations. Before Hitler committed his “ethnic cleansing” and Stalinist purges, there was the “class cleansing” of Lenin. The Bolshevik bled the Russian people dry, despoiled hundreds of thousands of farmers and eliminated whole parts of population, in the name of Lenin’s hatred of bourgeoisie. Promoter of Red Terror after the revolution, Lenin drowned half the Russian people in starvation and poverty. The “red tyrant” will have provoked the death of more than ten millions people in five years.However, the father of communism remains an icon of the struggle against Tsarism. De-nunciations of Stalin have not changed his status of USSR hero. And, still nowadays, if So-viet communism doesn’t exist anymore, many followers are still celebrating his memory…

THE AUTHORBorn in 1959, Luc Mary is a writer and an historian. L’Archipel published his essays on his-torical figures, such as Hannibal, Mary Stuart and Rasputin. His last title: The Romanov’s Last Days (Archipoche, 2017).

HISTORY

A NEW HISTORY OF INDIANouvelle Histoire de l’Inde

François GautierAugust 2017 – 304 pages

India without the clichés

Many stereotypes still stick to India: Calcutta’s poverty, Mother Theresa’s slums, mahara-jas splendour and Bollywood’s colourful cinema… A “land of contrasts” which fascinates and attracts, but which remains mysterious and impenetrable, even frightening because of the breadth of its crowds, the complexity of its social and religious system, its underlying violence and the dirt in its streets.India, now the sixth world power – before United Kingdom, can’t be reduced to these ste-reotypes. Its history should be re-written because it is based on misconceptions. Not so far ago, the Indian continent was a reference: its culture, sciences, spirituality, philosophy have deeply influenced the history of the world – and knocked our Western vision. Don’t we say that Sanskrit could be the mother of all tongues?François Gautier dismantles clichés, and emphasizes striking eras of a history as old as mankind.

Karim AkoucheOctober 2017 – 160 pages

A new acclaimed voice in Canadian literature

An engineer in Montreal, Mirak learns one day his mother passed away. Compelled to come back in his native country, Algeria, for her burial, he doesn’t recognize his country anymore: his father turned mad, his brother is a Jihadist and his past love a prostitute.Moreover, places and faces have become strangers to him. Ghosts of a past that no longer exists, where chaos and madness reign.

A PLEA FOR THE LIVINGPlaidoyer pour la vie

Denis MukwegeOctober 2016 – 280 pages - 8-page photo section

The man who mends women

Often called “The man who mends women”, he experienced worldwide fame for his work with victims of sexual violence during the war that plagued eastern Congo for decades. He has famous friends and dangerous enemies: Denis Mukwege, 61, survived several assas-sination attempts, the latest in 2014.Born in 1955 in ex-Belgian Congo, he studied medicine first in Bukavu (Congo), before specializing in gynaecology (in Angers, France). He became a symbol of hope and peace in the ex-Belgian Congo. So much so that many people gave him their support for a pre-sidential mandate, and called him “the new Mandela”.Since then, Dr. Dennis Mukwege made his beliefs a goal, an ideal, a vocation. He keeps running his hospital, taking care of raped women. Those in power cannot tolerate that an ordinary citizen draws the world’s attention on womens’ ordeals within the country. Mukwe-ge received the Olof Palme Prize in Sweden. He received the Sakharov Prize for Peace in 2014 and was a nominee for the Nobel Prize of Peace 2016.

The film L’Homme qui répare les femmes (The Man Who Mends Women)was released in Spring 2016:

BOB DYLAN A LIFE AS A POETRYBob Dylan, poète de sa vie

Jean-Dominique BrierreMay 2016 – 374 pages – 8-page photo section

Nobel Prize for Literature 2016

His 75th birthday, a new album (Fallen Angels), and now a Nobel Prize…: 2016 was ob-viously a striking year for the most famous of all folk singers. Biographer Jean-Dominique Brierre recounts the multiple lives of a rebel who made his life a poem.During his life, Bob Dylan had many roles: Woody Guthrie’s spiritual son, engaged folk singer, rock star, protective father, Jesus’ nut, crooner… But, one role was still his own: the free man, supporter of humour and subversion.All these figures made the legend he now is. But behind the myth is an artist, author of more than 500 songs, and still giving concerts around the world.An international bestselling artist, a Pulitzer Prize – winning author, and an Oscar winner for «Things Have Changed», he is more influential than ever. How did this happen, given the road to oblivion he seemed to choose more than two decades ago? What transformed a drug consumer into one of the most astonishing literary and musical icons in American history?Based on his works and the interviews he gave from 1962 to 2015, Jean-Dominique Brierre raises the artist over the clichés. Songs, poems and speeches shape Dylan’s inner portrait. A chronological and thematic journey, which interrogates also his relations with women, cinema, religion and scene.

Evelyn FarrApril 2016 – c. 300 pages8-page photo section

He was the love of her life. Louis XVI was her husband, but the Swedish count Axel von Fersen was Queen Marie-Antoinette’s lover, the loyal counsellor who gave her political advice from 1785 right up to the fall of the monarchy, and the devoted friend who orga-nised the royal family’s escape from Paris in 1791. Was he also the biological father of the queen’s two younger children? According to contemporary documents, several of their close friends thought so.To date there have only been incomplete editions of their correspondence. For the first time, Evelyn Farr brings together all letters exchanged by Marie-Antoinette and Fersen, including six which had not been published before, and presents highly revealing deleted passages in certain letters. She explains the use of code and invisible ink, essential for a secret correspondence, and reveals the role of intermediaries, secret seals, double enve-lopes, code names and details of Fersen’s clandestine lodgings at Versailles…This edition of the correspondence depicts a rebellious and independent queen, who risked everything and broke all the rules to love the man who had succeeded in conquering her heart. Moreover, the author alleges that Louis XVII, Louis XVI’s successor, was fathered by Count Fersen…

La « question » de l’islam obsède l’Occident. Religion, laïcité, citoyenneté, immigration, intégration, multiculturalisme, extrémisme : sur ces sujets, tout concourt à détériorer son image. Et que dire de ces jeunes qui partent follement en guerre, au jihâd pensent-ils, pour rejoindre des groupes violents qui trahissent les enseignements les plus élémentaires de l’islam ?

Dans cette confusion sans précédent, il importe de revenir aux principes et aux notions premières, en quête de solutions concrètes. Quelle conception de l’homme trouve-t-on au cœur du message islamique ? Comment le comprendre et l’incarner dans le contexte occidental ? Qu’en est-il de l’indispensable libération des femmes ? De la conception islamique de la paix et de la guerre ? Comment lutter contre l’islamophobie ?

Questions ici posées, avec rigueur et simplicité, à l’usage des femmes et des hommes, musulmans ou non, désireux de se comprendre, de dialoguer et de vivre ensemble dans la justice et la paix.

C’est à un retour aux sources qu’invite Tariq Ramadan, par un nécessaire travail de « défrichage terminologique » autour des notions centrales et trop souvent dévoyées de shahâda (témoignage), de sharî‘a (voie) et de jihâd (effort). Une introduction sereine à l’humanisme de l’islam.

Tariq Ramadan est professeur d’études islamiques contemporaines à l’université d’Oxford et directeur du Centre de recherches sur la législation islamique et l’éthique. Parmi ses nombreux ouvrages : Islam, la réforme radicale, Mon intime conviction, L’Islam et le réveil arabe, Au péril des idées, entretiens avec Edgar Morin (Presses du Châtelet, 2008 à 2014).

Edgar Morin - Tariq RamadanMarch 2014 – 288 pages

Au péril Les grandes questions

des idées

R encontre inattendue : le penseur de la complexité face au philosophe et théologien réformateur. L’agnostique

face au croyant. Le descendant de marranes face au fils d’exilés égyptiens. Le «  fréquentable  » Edgar Morin face à l’« infréquentable » Tariq Ramadan…

Loin des clichés attachés à leurs noms, ce sont surtout deux intellectuels ancrés dans leur époque et dans leur culture, deux Européens déclarés qui cherchent ici une « Voie » commune, évoquent leurs années de formation et débattent, avec la complicité de Claude-Henry du Bord, sur l’éducation, les sciences, l’art, la laïcité, les droits des femmes et des minorités, le nouveau Moyen-Orient, le conflit israélo-palestinien, l’antisémitisme et l’islamophobie, la démocratie et le fondamentalisme, la mondialisation et le pardon…

Deux conceptions du monde et de la foi, deux philosophies de vie qui ne demandent qu’à s’écouter.

Directeur émérite de recherches au CNRS, Edgar Morin est l’auteur de nombreux ouvrages de sociologie (La Rumeur d’Orléans, 1969), de philosophie (La Méthode, Seuil, 1981-2006), mais aussi de récits autobiographiques (Mon Paris, ma mémoire, Fayard, 2013). Tariq Ramadan est professeur d’études islamiques contemporaines à l’université d’Oxford et directeur du Centre de recherches sur la législation islamique et l’éthique. Il est l’auteur de Islam, la réforme radicale, Mon intime conviction, L’Islam et le réveil arabe (Presses du Châtelet, 2008 à 2011).

SAUDI ARABIA: FROM INFLUENCE TO DECADENCEArabie Saoudite : De l’influence à la décadence

Ardavan Amir-AslaniMarch 2017 – 240 pages

Saudi Arabia bears the name of the Saud family, prevailing since 1744 on this theocracy. It has carved out a fiefdom in the blood, in the early 20th century, but consolidated thanks to the support of the West and of black gold as it possesses a quarter of the world’s reserves. The Saud family gets its power from an old Pact between a preacher, Mohammed ben Ab-delwahhab, and an emir, Mohammed Ibn Saoud, co-founder of first Saudi state: alliance of the sword and the turban that ensured its hegemony on the peninsula and the Holy places, and allowed the more conservative and sectarian Islam to dominate the Muslim thought. In this absolute monarchy, the Koran is the only source of law and feeds an ideology that despises the woman, culture and modernity alike. The country suffers since 2013 of a drop in the oil price that could bring the whole kingdom to collapse. Its historical allies are wor-ried of Saudian ties to Islamist terrorism. Faced with the disaffection of the United States and Iran, with struggles for influence within the Royal family, the kingdom seems on the brink of implosion.

THE AUTHORBorn in Tehran in 1956, Ardavan Amir-Aslani is a lawyer in Paris. He teaches Middle-East geopolitics in the Economic Warfare School of Paris. Adviser for states of the Middle East, like Iraq, he published several essays, and contributes to the Huffington Post.

I Have Chosen to Age WellJ’ai choisi de bien vieillir

Françoise Forette & Laurence DorlhacNovember 2015 - 250 p.

“Changing? Not at my age!“, “Internet, smartphone get me confused“, “Sport, at my age, is useless!“… This book denounces clichés. Based on recent scientific studies, it shows, on the contrary, that elders must make the most of their life! It suggests solutions to better take the third part of life up, and blossom. To feel fine as long as possible, and remain active and independent.
