      The much-anticipated first book in a brand-new duology by New York Times bestselling author, Leigh Bardugo. Nikolai Lantsov has always had a gift for the impossible. No one knows what he endured in his country's bloody civil war - and he intends to keep it that way. Now, as enemies gather at his weakened borders, the young king must find a way to refill Ravka's coffers, forge new alliances, and stop a rising threat to the once-great Grisha Army. Yet with every day a dark magic within him grows stronger, threatening to destroy all he has built. With the help of a young monk and a legendary Grisha Squaller, Nikolai will journey to the places in Ravka where the deepest magic survives to vanquish the terrible legacy inside him. He will risk everything to save his country and himself. But some secrets aren't meant to stay buried--and some wounds aren't meant to heal

      From the writer who “inspires cultic devotion in readers” (The New Yorker) and has been called “incandescent” by Stephen King, “absolutely mesmerizing” by Gillian Flynn, and “unputdownable” (People) comes a gripping new novel that turns a crime story inside out. Toby is a happy-go-lucky charmer who’s dodged a scrape at work and is celebrating with friends when the night takes a turn that will change his life—he surprises two burglars who beat him and leave him for dead. Struggling to recover from his injuries, beginning to understand that he might never be the same man again, he takes refuge at his family’s ancestral home to care for his dying uncle Hugo. Then a skull is found in the trunk of an elm tree in the garden—and as detectives close in, Toby is forced to face the possibility that his past may not be what he has always believed. A spellbinding standalone from one of the best suspense writers working today, The Witch Elm asks what we become, and what we’re capable of, when we no longer know who we are.

      Essays über Robert Frank2005
    • Que furent les relations internationales depuis 1941, moment où les puissances extra-européennes (Etats-Unis, Japon, URSS) changèrent le sens du second conflit mondial, jusqu'au moment où, après maintes crises, maintes guerres locales, les deux " géants " purent croire qu'ils avaient encore la capacité d'assurer un certain équilibre entre diverses forces contradictoires ? Après la guerre froide " chaude " (1947-1955), après le dégel, avec la coexistence pacifique, les États-Unis et l'URSS pourront-ils savourer leur triomphe au milieu des années 1960 ? Divisée par la guerre, mais refaite par la croissance économique, l'Europe relèvera-t-elle la tête ? Où en sont alors les nationalismes ? Ce livre propose une approche globale des relations internationales.

      The Film and Video Work of Robert Frank

      This book fills a long overdue gap by providing a comprehensive overview of Robert Frank's more than 25 films and videos, some of them classics of the New American Cinema of the 1950s and 60s, many of them virtually unknown and barely seen. Frank Films offers a visually unique approach to the work: at Frank's request, only new stills taken from the original films and videos were used as illustrations. A number of in-depth essays discuss the history and aesthetics of Frank's moving pictures, while shorter texts by various authors examine each film and video individually. One of the greatest and most restless artists working today, Frank has always worked in a place untouched by fashions and schools, his art literally growing out of and for itself. Frank Films is required reading for everyone interested in Robert Frank and the history of American avant-garde film.
