Connaissez-vous l'auteur québécois François Moreau ? Saviez-vous que le sublime Bernard-Marie Koltès avait visité le Québec à l'âge de dix-neuf…

ans, que le Bartleby de Melville avait un frère russe du nom d'Oblomov, qu'une partie des archives de Kafka a traîné pendant des années dans un appartement poussiéreux de Tel-Aviv ? Avez-vous déjà lu Jean-Pierre Issenhuth, Bernard Frank ou Jean-René Huguenin ? Et les lettres de jeunesse de Jean Genet à son amie Andrée Plainemaison, surnommée Ibis ? Ou lesCahiers de prisonde Louis-Ferdinand Céline ? À toutes ces questions de la plus haute importance, Robert Lévesque peut répondre oui, lui le "lecteur impuni", l'insatiable fouineur, jamais las d'engloutir des pages et des pages de ses auteurs de prédilection et de tout savoir à leur sujet, le moindre détail, le plus petit événement, l'origine et le sort du manuscrit le plus obscur. Tous ces livres, non seulement il les a lus, relus, annotés, mais il en a fait en plus la matière même de sa vie, l'unique objet de ses passions, avec ses trois chats et sa chère Béatrix. Et il en parle avec la verve qu'on lui connaît, ce style désinvolte, comme impatient, ce goût des digressions et des anecdotes qui font les meilleurs chroniqueurs, surtout quand ils savent, en parlant des autres, parler en même temps d'eux-mêmes, tantôt nostalgiquement, tantôt ironiquement, comme le fait ici l'auteur quand il se rappelle ses découvertes de jeunesse, ses débuts dans le journalisme, un récital de Wilhelm Kempff au Petit Séminaire de Rimouski Et tout le reste. Issu de chroniques parues dans la revueLiberté, Le Lecteur impuniest le neuvième livre de Robert Lévesque à paraître dans la collection 'Papiers collés'

La condition québécoise: une histoire dépaysante

By Jocelyn Létourneau. 2020

DAISY audio (Direct to player), DAISY audio (Zip)
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

Random House presents the audiobook edition of In Extremis: The Life of War Correspondent Marie Colvin, written and read by…

Lindsey Hilsum. ** BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK ** 'It has always seemed to me that what I write about is humanity in extremis , pushed to the unendurable, and that it is important to tell people what really happens in wars.' Marie Colvin, 2001 Marie Colvin was glamorous, hard-drinking, braver than the boys, with a troubled and rackety personal life. With fierce compassion and honesty, she reported from the most dangerous places in the world, fractured by conflict and genocide, going in further and staying longer than anyone else. In Sri Lanka in 2001, Marie was hit by a grenade and lost the sight in her left eye - resulting in her trademark eye patch - and in 2012 she was killed in Syria. Like her hero, the legendary reporter Martha Gellhorn, she sought to bear witness to the horrifying truths of war, to write 'the first draft of history' and crucially to shine a light on the suffering of ordinary people. Written by fellow foreign correspondent Lindsey Hilsum, this is the story of the most daring war reporter of her age. Drawing on unpublished diaries and notebooks, and interviews with Marie's friends, family and colleagues, In Extremis is the story of our turbulent age, and the life of a woman who defied convention

Une fois aux commandes de l'État, de 1976 à 1985, il poursuit l'héritage de la Révolution tranquille en multipliant les réformes.Profondément démocrate, René Lévesque aura jonglé tout au long de sa carrière politique avec la quête d'un pays et la gestion d'un État en mutation.À l'aube de son centième anniversaire de naissance, que reste-t-il de lui et de l'empreinte qu'il a voulu laisser sur le Québec? 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.

From the longest-running, most influential book review in America, here is its best, funniest, strangest, and most memorable coverage over…

the past 125 years. Since its first issue on October 10, 1896, The New York Times Book Review has brought the world of ideas to the reading public. It is the publication where authors have been made, and where readers first encountered the classics that have enriched their lives. Now the editors have curated the Book Review &’s dynamic 125-year history, which is essentially the story of modern American letters. Brimming with remarkable reportage, this book collects interesting reviews, never-before-heard anecdotes about famous writers, and spicy letter exchanges. Here are the first takes on novels we now consider masterpieces, including a long-forgotten pan of Anne of Green Gables and a rave of Mrs. Dalloway , along with reviews and essays by Langston Hughes, Eudora Welty, James Baldwin, Nora Ephron, and more. Listeners will discover how literary tastes have shifted through the years—and how the Book Review &’s coverage has shaped so much of what we read today
