Title: 100 fables de La Fontaine les plus célèbres

Length: 1 hr 58 mins

Language: English

Release date: 2015-12-31

Publisher: Compagnie du Savoir

Publisher's Summary:

Petits ou grands, nous avons tous en tête des fables de La Fontaine: le corbeau et le renard, la cigale et la fourmi, la grenouille qui veut se faire aussi grosse que le buf, le chêne et le roseau, le lièvre et la tortue et tant d'autres. Chacune de ces fables est une petite histoire, avec des mots simples, et contient des vérités qui servent de leçons. Il y a un peu de nous, un peu des autres, un peu de tous, dans chacune des fables. Elles nous parlent, nous nous y reconnaissons. Elles croquent avec humour et finesse nos murs et nos faiblesses, nos travers et nos défauts, nos petites lâchetés comme nos grandes vanités. Les puissants qui nous gouvernent ne sont pas épargnés, tout autant que tout un chacun. Comme le dit si bien l'auteur, Jean de La Fontaine, tout parle en mon ouvrage, et même les poissons, ce qu'ils disent s'adresse à tous tant que nous sommes; je me sers d'animaux pour instruire les hommes. La brièveté, cette simplicité magnifique, est l'âme du conte. La structure de chaque fable est simple: le récit, une description, un discours ou un dialogue, une action, une peinture des caractères, et la moralité. Les fables existent depuis la plus haute antiquité. Aujourd'hui encore, les fables de La Fontaine nous parlent par leur justesse et leur universalité. La Fontaine a réussi à faire entrer l'univers entier dans ses fables:la nature entière, la nature morale et la nature physique, les animaux, les hommes, les femmes et les dieux, le ciel et la Terre, l'histoire et la mythologie, la politique, la religion, la philosophie; c'est une ample comédie à cent actes divers; on y trouve comme dans le drame, la mise en scène, le dialogue, les passions et les caractères; c'est un miroir du monde sous une optique réduite, et tout ce qui intéresse l'homme vient s'y refléter. Fénelon l'a pleuré a sa mort, en 1695, et s'est consolé ainsi: Jean de La Fontaine vit tout entier dans ses immortels écrits, il appartient aux siècles modernes pour toujours.

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Genres: Mystery, Thriller & Horror, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

The thrilling follow-up to the New York Times bestselling novel One Second After

Months before publication, One Second After was cited on the floor of Congress as a book all Americans should read, a book discussed in the corridors of the Pentagon as a truly realistic look at the dangers of EMPs. An EMP is a weapon with the power to destroy the entire United States in a single act of terrorism, in a single second; indeed, it is a weapon that the Wall Street Journal warns could shatter America. One Second After was a dire warning of what might be our future and our end.

One Year After returns to the small town of Black Mountain and the man who struggled to rebuild it in the wake of devastation: John Matherson. It is a thrilling follow-up and should delight fans in every way.

Title: In Extremis: The Life and Death of the War Correspondent Marie Colvin

Author: Lindsey Hilsum

Narrator: Lindsey Hilsum

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13 hrs 27 mins

Language: English

Release date: 2018-11-06

Publisher: Macmillan Audio

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Literary

Publisher's Summary:

The inspiring and devastating biography of Marie Colvin, the foremost war reporter of her generation, who was killed in Syria in 2012, and whose life story also forms the basis of the feature film A Private War, starring Rosamund Pike as Colvin.

When Marie Colvin was killed in an artillery attack in Homs, Syria, in 2012, at age fifty-six, the world lost a fearless and iconoclastic war correspondent who covered the most significant global calamities of her lifetime. In Extremis, written by her fellow reporter Lindsey Hilsum, is a thrilling investigation into Colvin's epic life and tragic death based on exclusive access to her intimate diaries from age thirteen to her death, interviews with people from every corner of her life, and impeccable research.

After growing up in a middle-class Catholic family on Long Island, Colvin studied with the legendary journalist John Hersey at Yale, and eventually started working for The Sunday Times of London, where she gained a reputation for bravery and compassion as she told the stories of victims of the major conflicts of our time. She lost sight in one eye while in Sri Lanka covering the civil war, interviewed Gaddafi and Arafat many times, and repeatedly risked her life covering conflicts in Chechnya, East Timor, Kosovo, and the Middle East. Colvin lived her personal life in extremis, too: bold, driven, and complex, she was married twice, took many lovers, drank and smoked, and rejected society's expectations for women. Despite PTSD, she refused to give up reporting. Like her hero Martha Gellhorn, Colvin was committed to bearing witness to the horrifying truths of war, and to shining a light on the profound suffering of ordinary people caught in the midst of conflict.

Lindsey Hilsum's In Extremis is a devastating and revelatory biography of one of the greatest war correspondents of her generation.

Title: Flashman

Author: George MacDonald Fraser

Narrator: Colin Mace

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs 58 mins

Language: English

Release date: 2015-02-26

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers UK

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Historical Fiction

Publisher's Summary:

Harry Flashman: the unrepentant bully of Tom Brown's schooldays, now with a Victoria Cross, has three main talents - horsemanship, facility with foreign languages and fornication. A reluctant military hero, Flashman plays a key part in most of the defining military campaigns of the 19th century, despite trying his utmost to escape them all.

Flashman, soldier, duellist, lover, imposter, coward, cad and hero, triumphs in this first instalment of The Flashman Papers. His adventures as the reluctant secret agent in Afghanistan and his entry into the exclusive company of Lord Cardigan's Hussars culminate in his foulest hour - his part in the historic disaster of the Retreat from Kabul.

This is the story of a blackguard who enjoyed villainy for its own sake. Shameless, exciting and funny, Flashman's deplorable odyssey is observed with the cynical eye of a scoundrel who was honest only in reporting what he saw. He makes all other black sheep look respectable grey.
