Résumé:

Combien de fois, à l'époque où j'écrivais Les Carnets du Major Thompson, n'ai-je pas vu apparaître dans mes songes Marmaduke ? Nos discussions étaient terribles. Souvent le Major, rouge et bleu, m'assenait de grands coups d'Encyclopaedia Britannica. J'essayais bien de riposter par un direct-Larousse ou un swing-Littré, mais le Major avait toujours le dernier mot. Finalement, le timbre de sa voix me réveillait : je devais me remettre au travail. Cette voix flegmatique, rocailleuse, métallique, forgée dans les sables de Mésopotamie et tout imbibée de whisky, Pierre Fresnoy la 'restitue' ici de saisissante façon grâce à sa connaissance parfaite de l'anglais et, ce qui est plus rare encore, du français parlé par un Anglais. A cette voix britannique, répond une voix que Jean Nohain qualifierait de 'bien française' et que connaissent tous les Français : celle de Robert Lamoureux qui, en dévoilant au Major les secrets de la France, offre avec Marmaduke le plus curieux contraste. Quant à Pauline Carton, elle ressemble comme une soeur à cette voyageuse mécontente que le Major rencontra un jour dans le train de Bordeaux, et que l'on peut sans doute rencontrer tous les jours dans tous les trains de France... -Pierre Daninos

HER VENEER WAS BIG CITY ...

But one look and you knew that Toni Raselle's instincts were straight out of the river shack she came from.

I watched her as she toyed with the man, laughing, her tumbled hair like raw blue-black silk, her brown shoulders bare. Eyes deep-set, a girl with a gypsy look.

So this was the girl I had risked my life to find. This was the girl who was going to lead me to a buried fortune in stolen loot. - Summary by Back cover blurb from first edition

Just as a little child holds out its hands to catch the sunbeams, to feel and to grasp what, so its eyes tell it, is actually there, so, down through the ages, men have stretched out their hands in eager endeavour to know their God. And because only through the human was the divine knowable, the old peoples of the earth made gods of their heroes and not unfrequently endowed these gods with as many of the vices as of the virtues of their worshippers. As we read the myths of the East and the West we find ever the same story. That portion of the ancient Aryan race which poured from the central plain of Asia, through the rocky defiles of what we now call "The Frontier," to populate the fertile lowlands of India, had gods who must once have been wholly heroic, but who came in time to be more degraded than the most vicious of lustful criminals. And the Greeks, Latins, Teutons, Celts, and Slavonians, who came of the same mighty Aryan stock, did even as those with whom they owned a common ancestry...

Dangerous Days opens in a still neutral America, though within a year the country will have joined the European alliance against the Central Powers in the first world war. Clayton Spencer, a successful industrialist and owner of a munitions plant, finds himself facing several problems: not only anarchism and German sabotage, but also the prospect of a deteriorating marriage, and of a son who all too often shares his mother's frivolous and essentially self-concerned point of view. How far will America's entry into the war change such views? What will it mean for Spencer, for his family, and for his business?

Titre: visio m'a tuer

Auteur: Alexandre des Isnards

Narrateur: Simon Jeannin

Format: Unabridged

Durée: 05:01:48

Langue: Français

Date de publication: 09-14-24

Éditeur: Bookwire

Genres: Business & Economics, Management & Leadership

Résumé:

Un portrait de la vie de bureau... quand il n'y en a plus !

La visio aurait pu n'être qu'une mode liée aux confinements, mais elle s'est imposée. Les réunions sont devenues hybrides, les bureaux 'flex' et il est désormais possible de mettre une quiche au four tout en échangeant avec son n+1.

Aurait-on enfin trouvé le moyen de libérer le salarié ? Pas si sûr...

Les réunions derrière nos écrans s'enchaînent sans pause pour se dégourdir les jambes ou débriefer, nos conjoints nous infligent leurs points d'équipe au milieu du salon, les bavardages à la machine à café ont perdu leur saveur en migrant sur WhatsApp, les frontières entre vie professionnelle et vie privée s'effacent... C'est cela aussi la réalité du télétravail. Loin du cliché du salarié nomade bossant ses présentations sur une chaise longue à la campagne.

A partir de situations réelles, Alexandre des Isnards a composé des saynètes qui épinglent, avec humour, les travers de cette révolution.
