Égypte ancienne est " ce jour de bonheur que les dieux ont offert aux hommes " (Paul Morand) : il est temps de le (re)découvrir. Le "mystère" a toujours été attaché à l'Égypte des Pharaons. Malgré l'avancée des connaissances, cette grande civilisation continue de charrier des théories pseudo-scientifiques ou ésotériques. Ce livre audio effectue un tri salutaire entre celles-ci et l'état du savoir des égyptologues et archéologues.

Everywhere hailed as a masterpiece of historical adventure, this enthralling narrative recounts the experiences of 12 American sailors who were shipwrecked off the coast of Africa in 1815, captured by desert nomads, sold into slavery, and subjected to a hellish two-month journey through the bone-dry heart of the Sahara.

In a carefully choreographed propaganda video released in February 2015, ISIS militants behead twenty-one orange-clad Christian men on a Libyan beach. In the West, daily reports of new atrocities may have displaced the memory of this particularly vile event. But not in the world from which the murdered came. All but one were young Coptic Christian migrant workers from Egypt. Acclaimed literary writer Martin Mosebach traveled to the Egyptian village of El-Aour to meet their families and better understand the faith and culture that shaped such conviction.

Idolatrado por unos, calumniado por otros, desconocido para la mayoría, ¿qué es en realidad el Frente Polisario? El Frente Polisario es la organización creada para liberar al Sahara Occidental del colonialismo. Idolatrado o calumniado, se habla mucho del Frente, pero se le conoce poco. A menudo los mismos que afirman que la relación con Marruecos es de la máxima importancia en la política exterior española desconocen o fomentan el desconocimiento sobre el Frente Polisario, a pesar de que éste es una de las preocupaciones máximas de la política exterior de Marruecos.

In inimitable, rhythmic prose, the author and winner of the prestigious Windham-Campbell Prize Emmanuel Iduma tells the story of his return to Nigeria, where he grew up, after years of living in New York. He traveled home with an elusive mission: to learn the fate of his uncle Emmanuel, his namesake, who disappeared in the Nigerian Civil War in the late 1960s.
