C'est par ce quatrain décapant du poète belgo-genevois que s'ouvre Le Bestiaire des écrivains, déjà publié chez Autrement dit. Ce succès et la réédition à L'Âge d'Homme de son recueil nous ont poussé à consacrer un livre audio entier à cette œuvre originale. L'humour le dispute à l'exigence ; l'assonance et l'allitération concourent à la musique des mots ; les images se font insolites.

Sounds Like Trouble to Me sheds light on what happens when a corrections officer kills her abusive husband and suddenly finds herself on the other side of the law. Not only is she shocked with the systematic abuse against fellow female prisoners but confronted with the complicated history of her own abuse, she must struggle with her fragile memory to uncover what actually happened before she goes to trial.

Authority isn't claimed. It's constructed. The Authority Architect explores how experts, practitioners, and deep-knowledge professionals build the kind of recognition that actually reflects what they know — the strategies that work, the structures that hold, and the real cost of staying invisible in a market that rewards visibility. If you've done the work, this is how you make it count.

Jerusha Abbott was brought up at the John Grier Home, an old-fashioned orphanage. The children were wholly dependent on charity and had to wear other people's cast-off clothes. Jerusha's unusual first name was selected by the matron off a grave stone, while her surname was selected out of the phone book. At the age of 18, she has finished her education and is at loose ends, still working in the dormitories at the institution where she was brought up. One day, after the asylum's trustees have made their monthly visit, Jerusha is informed by the asylum's dour matron that one of the trustees has ...

Racine caused furour in the French theater community with his second play, Alexander the Great, when "The sensitive poet seems to have been disgusted by the manner in which it was being acted; for, a fortnight after it had been put on the boards at the Palais Royal [by Moliere], Moliere's company learned with astonishment and indignation that it was being simultaneously performed at a rival theatre." "The story of this drama is derived from Quintus Curtius, Plutarch, and Justin." Racine followed the rules of classical French dramatists: one main plot, action takes place in one day and at one ...
