Ginette Reno est l'une des plus grandes chanteuses de toute l'histoire du Québec. C'est aussi la personnalité dont on a…

le plus parlé au cours des cinquante dernières années. Ses deux mille chansons, ses trente-huit albums et ses rôles au cinéma et à la télévision ont fait d'elle une véritable icône. Le légendaire Johny Carson l'a invitée sur son plateau en Californie, et Michel Drucker a fait de même à Paris. Elle aurait pu faire carrière aux États-Unis ou en France, mais c'est ici qu'elle a brillé de tous ses feux. Ginette Reno est l'artiste qui incarne le plus le Québec et on peut ainsi dire qu'elle fait partie de la famille. Elle a marqué notre époque grâce à des prestations inoubliables, comme son interprétation de la chanson de Jean-Pierre Ferland, Un peu plus haut, un peu plus loin, sur le mont Royal, à Montréal, en 1975 et avec Céline Dion sur les plaines d'Abraham, à Québec, en 2008. 2013.

A Paris avec ses chansonniers, à Los Angeles et ses couleurs psychédéliques, à Londres et ses Wailers, où le hippie aux cheveux longs vit, intense et libre, au rythme de ses rêves, mais longtemps déchiré entre partir et rester, révolte et amour, poésie et rock. Ce livre est un hymne au " réchappé " du Bas de la ville, au " Ti-Claude " du trucker, au Dubois de tous les Québécois. 2017.

Human-narrated audio, Human-transcribed braille

Unlike his two brothers, Murray Howe failed in his attempt to follow in his father's footsteps to become a professional…

athlete. Yet, his failure brought him to the realization that in truth, his dream wasn't to be a pro hockey player. His dream was to be his father, Gordie Howe. To be amazing at something, but humble and gracious. To be courageous, and stand up for the little guy. To be a hero. You don't need to be a hockey player to do that. What he learned was that it is a waste of time wishing you were like someone else. We need to identify and embrace our gifts. Gordie Howe may have been the greatest player in the history of hockey, but greatness was never defined by goals or assists in the Howe household. Greatness meant being the best person you could be, not the best player on the ice. Bestseller. 2017.

Renée Martel est l'une des grandes stars du Québec. Chantant depuis l'enfance avec son père, Marcel Martel, l'un des pionniers…

du western, elle s'impose dans les années 1960 comme icône de la pop avec les hits Liverpool et Je vais à Londres. Elle reviendra ensuite à ses racines country avec Un amour qui ne veut pas mourir et, en 1983, son album C'est mon histoire lui vaudra un premier Félix. Depuis, la cowgirl dorée accumule les récompenses les plus prestigieuses, et elle a été célébrée par un Félix hommage qui soulignait ses soixante ans de carrière en 2012. Derrière la star : la femme. Son courage et sa force, sa vulnérabilité et sa fragilité. Elle a mené plusieurs combats dans sa vie. Contre l'alcoolisme, la dépression, contre une grave maladie pulmonaire, un cancer du foie. À l'image du phénix qui renaît de ses cendres, Renée Martel porte sa vie à bout de bras. Comment, jusquà quel point sa sensibilité exacerbée fait d'elle l'artiste quelle est? La femme et la star, des vases communicants ou pas? C'est le point de départ du Roman de Renée Martel. 2014.

In the early 1900s, a host of professional, minor-pro, senior, junior, and college leagues competed across the continent. More than…

a decade remained before the Stanley Cup would become the sole property of the NHL. In this era, it was a challenge cup, and it seemed as though every Canadian town--big or small--had a fair shot at the big prize. In these pre-NHL days, four teams from the Maritimes took up the challenge, competing for what was, even then, hockey's biggest prize. The 1900 Halifax Crescents club was followed in 1906 by the New Glasgow Cubs, in 1912 by the Moncton Victorias, and in 1913 by the Sydney Millionaires. 2012.
