gouvernement du général de Gaulle. Régine Deforges, qui vient de créer sa maison d'édition, L'Or du temps, voit saisir son premier livre publié, Le Con d'Irène, érotique dû à la plume anonyme d'Aragon. Elle est convoquée au Quai des Orfèvres par le patron de la police mondaine, le commissaire Ottavioli. Ce premier rendez-vous judiciaire sera suivi de beaucoup d'autres jusqu'à sa condamnation pour "outrage aux bonnes moeurs par la voie du livre" par la 17e Chambre correctionnelle, notamment pour avoir publié Lourdes, lentes, d'André Hardellet. Sur fond de barricades et de gaz lacrymogène, entre amours ferventes, incursions révolutionnaires à Censier, à la Sorbonne, c'est l'occasion pour Régine Deforges de nous donner, l'air faussement badin, de superbes pages sur ses déambulations entre le Quartier latin, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, les folles soirées chez Castel et les bars de Pigalle. Elle promène sur ce temps un regard amusé et ironique, souriant au slogan qui s'affichait sur les murs : "Il est interdit d'interdire !". -- 4e de couvScandale à Saint-Jean de Port-Joly en 1774 : le curé desservant et l'évêque de Québec refusant de les marier selon…

sexuelle, elle espère trouver, enfin, celui qui l'aimera vraiment. Durant toute une année, elle a rencontré des hommes, fantasmé et espéré. Elle a dragué, flirté et embrassé. Sans jamais aller plus loin. Dans une société où la sexualité est considérée comme un must, cette jeune journaliste a délibérément choisi un chemin difficile... No more sex in the city est le récit, mois par mois, de son expérience, de ses passions chastes et de ses aventures passées. Et surtout, au-delà de sa quête d'amour et de sens, cette trentenaire nous livre une réflexion moderne et juste sur ce que signifie vraiment le sexe aujourd'hui. » -- 4e de couvBy Jean-Jacques Taylor. 2023
An exclusive insider account with unprecedented access to Deion Sanders, his staff, and players, who are shattering expectations weekly and…
changing the culture of college football. Known for decades as one of the NFL's most iconic and spectacular playmakers, Deion Sanders remains college football's most intriguing newsmaker. In just three years, he has become the most talked about coach by recruiting elite players to moribund programs and reviving the spirit and pride of forgotten fanbases by winning. Along the way, he's changing how we think about college sports while rejuvenating whole communities with the national attention that follows him and the fresh commerce a winning culture ignites. First at Jackson State and now at Colorado, Sanders has displayed a knack for leading miraculous turnarounds of once-storied-but-long-irrelevant programs. Television cameras turn up for national broadcasts, gameday attendance skyrockets, economic impact reaches the tens of millions, and NFL scouts take renewed interest. Meanwhile, off the field, Sanders displays an uncanny ability to connect with his players. Weekly chat sessions about life and love are the norm. His unyielding commitment to guiding his players to become exceptional men raises the bar on what parents and athletes expect from college coaches. Now, with access no other reporter has been granted, veteran sports journalist Jean-Jacques Taylor takes readers inside one season with Deion Sanders to show the heart, mind, and culture of America's most innovative football coach and his team of would-be championsBy Mathieu Bock-Côté. 2012
