Whether they’re a work of wacky imagination, a piercing insight into social and cultural traditions at the time of writing, or simply a fantastically absorbing story, all the books featured in “1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die” have come about out of people’s desires to communicate a story, a message or a lesson. From much loved tales to off-beat cult fiction and the timeless classics of the nineteenth century, discover the influences on the authors, plots and characters of the books that really should make up part, if not all, of your library.Battle orks with Frodo and Aragorn in “Middle Earth”, go on the road with Kerouac in search of freedom, get involved with questions of gender and androgyny with Orlando, immerse yourself into the full and expansive portrait of India created by Seth in “A Suitable Boy” and enter the world of Christoper Boone in his touching and amusing quest to find the killer of his neighbour’s pet dog.

Not only is L. Frank Baum’s classic The Wonderful Wizard of Oz one of the most enduring and magical children’s books ever written, it’s also — with its adventurousness and its lessons of resourcefulness, friendship, courage, and self-reliance — one of the most American.

The Hachette Guide to French Wine (Guide Hachette des Vins de France) is issued annually and is eagerly awaited by wine makers, merchants and connoisseurs. It’s something of a bible as far as French wines go and has taken on a mantle something similar to the Michelin Guide concerning restaurants.

It s an independent and impartial, region-by-region guide to the leading wines of France, compiled by a huge team of wine experts. The team blind tastes over 30,000 wines, of which 9000 make the guide. Each of the wines that is selected is given a rating: the wines included but not given a star are considered to be typical of the area and worth a mention; 1 star is a good wine; 2 stars is an excellent wine; and 3 stars is an exceptional wine and a perfect example of the appellation. There s also an extra award called the coups de coeur which is the highest honor and refers to wines the tasters fell in love with at first sip, and they get their labels reproduced in the guide along their entry. Wine merchants often find their customers requesting a wine just on the strength alone of this award.

Not all French wines are mentioned as some elite producers do not submit their wines for tasting and only one wine from each producer is showcased, however the Guide is a treasure store for wine lovers.

The guide lists a selection of 10,000 wines from 36,000 tasted from 6,500 producers. There are 450 coups de coeurs and 1402 pages packed with information. It also includes updates on the regions, a guide to grape varietals and details of B&Bs (Chambres d Hotes) and self-catering accommodation (Gites Ruraux) on vineyard estates. This guide is available in French only.

Le jeune poète turc Ka – de son vrai nom Kerim Alakusogulu – quitte son exil allemand pour se rendre à Kars, une petite ville provinciale endormie d’Anatolie. Pour le compte d’un journal d’Istanbul, il part enquêter sur plusieurs cas de suicide de jeunes femmes portant le foulard. Mais Ka désire aussi retrouver la belle Ipek, ancienne camarade de faculté fraîchement divorcée de Muhtar, un islamiste candidat à la mairie de Kars. À peine arrivé dans la ville de Kars, en pleine effervescence en raison de l’approche d’élections à haut risque, il est l’objet de diverses sollicitudes et se trouve piégé par son envie de plaire à tout le monde : le chef de la police locale, la sœur d’Ipek, adepte du foulard, l’islamiste radical Lazuli vivant dans la clandestinité, ou l’acteur républicain Sunay, tous essaient de gagner la sympathie du poète et de le rallier à leur cause. Mais Ka avance, comme dans un rêve, voyant tout à travers le filtre de son inspiration poétique retrouvée, stimulée par sa passion grandissante pour Ipek, et le voile de neige qui couvre la ville. Jusqu’au soir où la représentation d’une pièce de théâtre kémaliste dirigée contre les extrémistes islamistes se transforme en putsch militaire et tourne au carnage.

Neige est un extraordinaire roman à suspense qui, tout en jouant habilement avec des questions d’ordre politique très contemporaines – comme l’identité de la société turque et la nature du fanatisme religieux –, surprend par ce ton poétique et nostalgique qui, telle la neige, nimbe chaque page

Istanbul, en cet hiver 1591, est sous la neige. Mais un cadavre, le crâne fracassé, nous parle depuis le puits où il a été jeté. Il connaît son assassin, de même que les raisons du meurtre dont il a été victime : un complot contre l’Empire ottoman, sa culture, ses traditions et sa peinture. Car les miniaturistes de l’atelier du Sultan, dont il faisait partie, sont chargés d’illustrer un livre à la manière italienne… Ce roman nous plonge dans l’univers fascinant de l’Empire ottoman de la fin du XVIe siècle. Une réflexion sur la confrontation entre Occident et Orient sous-tend cette trame policière, elle-même doublée d’une intrigue amoureuse, dans un récit parfaitement maîtrisé

La Photographie Italienne Contemporaine Dans La Collection Anna Rosa Et Giovanni Cotroneo
n this collection, owned by Anna Rosa and Giovanni Cotroneo, we can see a rich and high-quality selection of works of art. The starting point could be the importance of faith in the reading of territory, a reading that can be done, in Italy, only through a knowledge of art history. This could probably only happen in Italy where the concept of landscape was born with Giotto’ s mountains and the architectural perspective of ideal cities. Cities first and then the metropolis, are the privileged breeding ground for photography, full of new symbols that delineate modern areas of exploration. At this moment, photography is reaching the great, painful awareness of being a view suspended between different ages, a subtle perception of worlds that are only now formingâ wrote Luigi Ghirri, one of the directors of this contemporary journey through Italy.
