Les oiseaux d’eau sur la rive du lac: Une anthologie de jeunes adultes africains
by Edwige-Renée DroCes histoires du plus vieux continent et foyer de la population la plus jeune du monde vont de la fantasy, aux réflexions de la jeunesse en période de conflit, à la mort vue par de jeunes adultes, à la famille, l'amitié, l’éveil sexuel, l’éducation et la transition vers l’âge adulte. La diversité des récits de cette première anthologie de fiction africaine pour jeunes adultes capture avec force les voix diverses que toute personne adolescente connaît ou connaîtra. Des voix parfois affirmées, parfois incertaines, mais toujours conscientes des mondes multiples qui les entourent.
Les lleis de la frontera
by Javier CercasVet aquí una furiosa història damor i desamor, dimpostures i violència, de lleialtats i traïcions, denigmes sense resoldre i venjances inesperades.A lestiu de 1978, quan Espanya encara no ha sortit del franquisme i no comença a entrar encara a la democràcia, i les fronteres socials i morals semblen més poroses que mai, un adolescent anomenat Ignacio Cañas coneix per casualitat el Zarco i la Tere, dos delinqüents de la seva mateixa edat, i aquesta trobada canviarà per sempre la seva vida. Trenta anys després, un escriptor rep lencàrrec descriure un llibre sobre el Zarco, convertit en un mite de la delinqüència juvenil de la Transició, però el que lescriptor acaba trobant no és la veritat concreta del Zarco, sinó una veritat imprevista i universal, que ens incumbeix a tots. Així, a través dun relat que no dóna cap instant de treva i que amaga una complexitat extraordinària sota una superfície transparent, la novel·la esdevé una apassionada indagació sobre els límits de la nostra llibertat, sobre les motivacions inescrutables dels nostres actes i sobre la naturalesa inaprehensible de la veritat. També confirma Javier Cercas com una de les figures indispensables de la narrativa europea contemporània.

Les Chroniques de Dartmoor - Tome 1: De l’autre côté de la clôture
by Jen MinkmanJe quitte ma maison rue Heather Terrace par un samedi matin ensoleillé. Le vent souffle sur mon visage, doux et accueillant. Une sensation qui me paraît déplacée puisque je suis en route pour la Clinique. Le dernier endroit à Dartmoor City où j’ai envie d’être. Les gens tournent la tête lorsque je passe devant eux. Ils savent où je vais. Je sens le regard de Mark sur moi et manque de trébucher sur la chaussée inégale de la rue pavée. C’est la première fois qu’il s’intéresse à moi, mais pour une raison que j’aurais préféré éviter. C’est toujours la même chose ; quand je veux qu’il me remarque, à l’école, sur la place du marché, lors de célébrations, il m’évite du regard. Je suis un loup déguisé en brebis pour ces gens. Une menace potentielle. Je sais déjà ce qui va se passer à mon arrivée à la Clinique. On va me faire boire cette tisane ignoble qui me donne la nausée et me rend somnolente, soi-disant pour « me calmer ». Ensuite, je vais devoir parler à ce médecin stupide qui, comme d’habitude, va inventer des situations et me demander comment j’y réagirais. Pour évaluer mes prédispositions éventuelles à la violence. Depuis que cette ville a Purgé la personne que j’aimais le plus au monde quand j’avais douze ans, l’opprobre ne m’a jamais quitté. Je m’appelle Sarah et mon père était violent.

He promises that the woman he chooses to marry will be a gift to the dark god, in exchange for the land's freedom.

After four seasons as a middle-of-the-pack team, Leicester won the league in 2013-14, being promoted to the EPL for the first time in a decade. After a strong start the following season, the team quickly faded and looked to be facing relegation. But after winning seven out of their last nine games, they avoided the demotion and finished in fourteenth place.Under the calm and wise management of Claudio Ranieri-who was named as manager to start the 2015-16 season-the East Midlands club stunned football supporters by winning despite not having a recognizable superstar on the team.With massive team spirit and a never-say-die attitude, the team kept Tottenham, Arsenal, and Manchester City at bay to secure their first ever Premier League trophy in their 132-year history. In the process, journeyman players such as Jamie Vardy, Riyad Mahrez, N’Golo Kante, and Kasper Schmeichel became household names and added to the team’s growing lore.Written by legendary soccer writer Harry Harris, with seventy-six books to his name, The Immortals is a must-read for all fans of the sport, as well as those who adopted Leicester City and the Foxes during their dramatic run.
