Educated
Tara Westover grew up preparing for the End of Days, watching for the sun to darken, for the moon to drip as if with blood. She spent her summers bottling peaches and her winters rotating emergency supplies, hoping that when the World of Men failed, her family would continue on, unaffected.She hadn’t been registered for a birth certificate. She had no school records because she’d never set foot in a classroom, and no medical records because her father didn’t believe in doctors or hospitals. According to the state and federal government, she didn’t exist.As she grew older, her father became more radical, and her brother, more violent. At sixteen Tara decided to educate herself. Her struggle for knowledge would take her far from her Idaho mountains, over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge. Only then would she wonder if she’d travelled too far. If there was still a way home.EDUCATED is an account of the struggle for self-invention. It is a tale of fierce family loyalty, and of the grief that comes with the severing of the closest of ties. With the acute insight that distinguishes all great writers, from her singular experience Westover has crafted a universal coming-of-age story that gets to the heart of what an education is and what it offers: the perspective to see one's life through new eyes, and the will to change it.
Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams
A collection of early prose stories, journalism and journal pieces exploring the themes of mental illness, creativity and gender, from one of the twentieth century's most important writers. Every day from nine to five I sit at my desk facing the door of the office and type up other people's dreams. An office assistant in a hospital pursues a secret vocation. A girl endures a series of initiation ceremonies to join her high school sorority. A married woman seeks relief from the dull realities of daily life. From her mid-teens Sylvia Plath wrote stories, twenty-four of which are collected here, along with works of journalism and extracts from her journal. 'All the pieces presented here are revealing . . . It ought to round out one's knowledge of the writer, and, perhaps, offer some surprises. Luckily it does both.' Margaret Atwood, New York Times 'A beautiful, delicate, commanding poet.' Lena Dunham ' She embodied a seismic shift in consciousness which enabled us to feel and think as we do today, and of which she was a supremely vulnerable and willing casualty. She changed our world.' Margaret Drabble, Guardian

Zidane, une vie secrète
Connaissez-vous Zidane ? Le joueur de génie, la star mondiale, le héros national, oui, sans doute. Mais Zinedine Zidane lui-même ? Malgré la légende et en dépit des médias, l'homme reste finalement un mystère. Avoir été Dieu sur terre, adulé de tous, peut se révéler terrible. Cette enquête, menée dans toute l'Europe pendant près de deux ans, n'a pas été sans difficultés, puisque deux détenteurs du manuscrit se sont fait cambrioler tour à tour. Pourquoi ? Parce que cette biographie lève le voile sur les secrets d'un joueur qui avait tout connu avant d'avoir trente ans. Dépassé par sa notoriété, empêché par ses contrats publicitaires, reclus derrière une omerta presque sans faille, l'ex-capitaine des Bleus ne s'appartient plus vraiment mais a su tourner cette célébrité à son avantage. En éclairant certaines facettes méconnues du personnage- sa vie quotidienne, son rapport à l'argent, son entourage, cet ouvrage se penche également sur "l'après Zizou", sans manquer de saluer le talent et la carrière fabuleuse de l'ex-idole des stades.

Lettres de prison de Nelson Mandela
Arrêté en 1962 par le gouvernement de l'apartheid d'Afrique du Sud, Nelson Mandela a passé vingt-sept ans en prison. Au cours de ces 10 052 jours de détention, il fut un épistolier prolifique, écrivant à ses compagnons de lutte, aux gouvernements officiels, mais aussi à sa femme Winnie, à ses cinq enfants et, plus tard, à ses petits-enfants. Les lettres choisies dans ce livre offrent le portrait le plus intime qu'on ait lu de Nelson Mandela et un aperçu exceptionnel sur la façon dont il a vécu son isolement. Elles révèlent l'héroïsme d'un homme qui a refusé tout compromis sur ses valeurs, l'humanité de l'une des plus grandes figures du XXe siècle. Édité par Sahm Venter Préface de Zamaswasi Dlamini-Mandela About the Author Révolutionnaire anti-apartheid, Nelson Mandela (1918-2013) a été le premier président élu démocratiquement en Afrique du Sud, de 1994 à 1999. Il a reçu le prix Nobel de la Paix en 1993.
