Essays, Canadian history
Human-narrated audio

À un Québec qui change, voici un récit d'histoire au scénario changé. Qui pense la condition québécoise en la sortant…

de sa mémoire tragique et de sa culture de la séparation. Qui met l'emphase sur les adaptations et actualisations d'une société plutôt que sur ses détournements et empêchements. Qui voit les oscillations québécoises non pas à l'origine d'une succession d'inhibitions nationales, mais comme un mode d'évolution par lequel une collectivité n'a cessé de passer à l'avenir. On lira cet ouvrage comme une tentative de cadrer le parcours historique du Québec en dehors des mythistoires et du schéma narratif qui accueillent et charpentent habituellement son déroulement. On le considérera aussi comme un essai visant à poser les bases d'une nouvelle référence historiale, si ce n'est mémorielle, pour les Québécois d'aujourd'hui, vecteurs de leur revitalisation identitaire en cours

Les auteurs sont allés à la rencontre de membres de sa famille, d'amis, de collaborateurs, d'observateurs et d'adversaires pour tenter de répondre à cette question complexe. Ceux-ci se sont confiés avec franchise pour nous faire découvrir «leur» René Lévesque dans ce portrait intime et pluriel.

Written in the same evocative voice that drives the award-winning magazine Roads & Kingdoms, Rice, Noodle, Fish explores Japan's most intriguing culinary disciplines in seven key regions, from the kaiseki tradition of Kyoto and the sushi masters of Tokyo to the street food of Osaka and the ramen culture of Fukuoka. You won't find hotel recommendations or bus schedules; you will find a brilliant narrative that interweaves immersive food journalism with intimate portraits of the cities and the people who shape Japan's food culture. Rice, Noodle, Fish is a rare blend of inspiration and information, perfect for the intrepid and armchair traveler alike.
