En mars 1891, Paul Gauguin s'embarque pour Tahiti. Il va rejoindre cette terre lointaine afin d'y côtoyer, comme il l'affirme,…
«le sauvage, le primitif ». Il a quarante-trois ans et a décidé de tout sacrifier à son art. Lui qui a commencé par être agent remisier à la Bourse, gagnant bien sa vie, père de cinq enfants, il abandonne sa famille, ses amis. Ce premier séjour va durer deux ans. De retour en France, Gauguin espère que les soixante-dix toiles qu'il a peintes en Polynésie vont séduire les marchands et les critiques. C'est un échec total. Blessé, Gauguin décide de reprendre le chemin de Tahiti, où il passera les huit dernières années de sa vie. Pourquoi a-t-il résolu de s'enfuir, si loin du monde ? Qui sont les êtres, quelles sont les circonstances qui l'ont incité à prendre une décision qui le condamne à l'oubli ? Mystère d'un départ, énigme aussi que les plus extraordinaires chefs-d'oeuvre de Gauguin soient contemporains du cauchemar et de la désillusion. Seul, pauvre, rongé par la maladie, Gauguin dit en effet dans ses toiles la beauté du monde, ses fastes et ses secrets. Ce livre raconte une histoire. Celle d'un homme dont la vie peu à peu se consume sous le soleil brûlant des tropiques. Celle aussi d'un artiste qui revendiquait «le droit de tout oser». Oser l'audace, oser la beauté.By Marion Kaplan. 2014

was an icon, but how closely did her carefully moulded image match the truth? Born illegitimate and raised in an orphanage - not by the two aunts that she invented - Gabrielle Chanel fought constantly to escape the mundane. She rose from back-street milliner to become the head of a vast business empire, and socialised with Picasso, Stravinsky and Cocteau. The author also reveals one of Chanel's best-kept secrets - her love affair with a prodigal German spy. 2009, c1975. Uniform title: Irreguliere, ou, mon itineraire Chanel.By A. J Rochester. 2003

planning and architecture and the way we think about how life is lived in packed urban centers. This was an era when the urban renewal movement was at its most aggressive, and Jacobs correctly perceived that the new structures that were being built to replace the aging housing of our older cities were often far worse. Her ideas quickly took hold, and no one ever looked at what made for liveable and viable neighbourhoods the same way again. Grades 5-8. 2009.By Ross King. 2010
