remaniés et enrichis qui furent précédemment publiés dans 'Repubblica'. L'auteur tente de "comprendre ce qu'est la globalisation, en se servant des contributions des experts et d'une bonne dose d'ingénuité". Un petit voyage qui n'a pas pour objectif de faire le tour de la question, mais qui arrive à démolir les idées préconçues et propose des avenues à explorer. Beaucoup d'humour, d'exemples et de compassions. 2002.At six years old Charles Mulli woke up one morning in his hut to find he had been completely abandoned…
by both parents. All alone, he fell into a life of abject poverty, forcing Mulli to wander from hut to hut begging for food for his very survival, unable even to attend school. As a teenager Mulli started a small taxi company, which grew to be very successful. Eventually he expanded his business ventures to include real estate, insurance, and oil and gas distribution, becoming a highly successful businessman. But despite all his success, the growing struggle in his heart over the plight of thousands of Kenyan street children remained strong, until one day he surrendered to the call of God on his life to sell everything he owned and begin rescuing street children from the slums of Kenya. 2016.By Sayed Qashu. 2016

relate to, rather than two that cannot coexist together.

For twenty-eight years, Pamela Paul has been keeping a diary that records the books she reads, rather than the life…
she leads. Or does it? Over time, it's become clear that this Book of Books, or Bob, as she calls him, tells a much bigger story. For Paul, books reflect her inner life-- her fantasies and hopes, her dreams and ideas. And her life, in turn, influences which books she chooses, whether for solace or escape, diversion or self-reflection, information or entertainment. "My Life with Bob" isn't about what's in those books; it's about the relationship between books and readers. A testament to the power of books to provide the perspective, courage, companionship, and ultimately self-knowledge to forge our own path. 2017.Ten short years ago, Barack Obama became president of the United States, and changed the course of history. Ten short…
years ago, our America was hailed globally as a breathtaking example of democracy, as a rainbow coalition of everyday people marching to the same drum beat. We had finally overcome. But did we? Both the presidencies of Obama and Donald Trump have produced some of the ugliest divides in history: horrific racial murders, non-stop mass shootings, the explosion of attacks on immigrants and on the LGBTQ community, the rise of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia, a massive gap between the haves and the have-nots, and legions of women stepping forth to challenge sexual violence-and men-in all forms. In this collection of 13 essays, the author interweaves brutally honest personal stories with the saga of America, then and now. 2018.By Carlos Fuentes. 1988
