After World War 2, British colonial countries like Southern Rhodesia were abuzz with renewed energy and excitement for the future, as the language and culture were British, yet the country, unlike Blighty, was tropical with interesting and different geology, archaeology, fauna, flora and people, with fantastic agricultural and mining potential for the rapidly expanding population. The warm, sunny climate reflected a gloriously happy disposition amongst its people.Willie MacDougall was born under these warm, umbrella-blue skies and enjoyed growing up in a carefree environment where friends and family had value. Whether it was cycling to school and back; sleeping in a tree house; camping in the Matopos Hills or Khami Ruins; going by steam train to the Victoria Falls; enduring long holiday trips to South Africa; exploring disused gold mines; horse riding; or playing the bagpipes, it always involved friends and family.Inevitably the political landscape changed, and the white bubble was unsustainable. Jake, his elder brother and friends were progressively enlisted to fight insurgents on the border. Ultimately, though, it was when the family of his first real love, Hazel, decided to move to Cape Town that he also fully understood his future direction: to go to South Africa, get a degree and work as a biologist.

Blackmail, kidnapping, and murder were the tools used by gentlemanly villains to cover the tracks of a crime that netted millions of pounds annually for almost two decades. The story unfolds through the eyes of Johnny Cobbold, a City of London wine shipper who is under continuous threat and perceived to hold the key that could reveal the crime and the identity of its perpetrators. Gripping and tantalising to the last, the narrative also reveals fascinating, little-known facts about wine and London itself.

Le combat spirituel a souvent été mal compris. Pense comme une lutte offensive contre des puissances extérieures, il est devenu pour beaucoup une activité fébrile, parfois obsessionnelle, qui finit par accorder a l adversaire la place que la croix lui a retiree.Ce livre propose un autre regard.A partir des Ecritures lues dans leur substrat hebraique et grec, il deploie une lecture du combat de la foi qui prend racine dans la cosmologie meme de la Creation la separation des eaux, la lumiere qui descend d en haut, le souffle qui distingue l homme et trouve sa pleine mesure dans la victoire accomplie du Christ. Mensonge, peur, identite fausse, heritages generationnels autant de fronts que l auteur traverse, non pour les armer de mots nouveaux, mais pour les ramener a leur seul antidote un regard tourne vers le haut, ancre dans ce qui est deja accompli.Etude apres etude, a travers la figure de Mephiboscheth, les sept jours de la Genese, la genealogie de Matthieu, la rencontre de Bethesda, c est un meme fil qui se deroule non plus combattre pour vaincre, mais demeurer dans la victoire. La sobre vigilance du shabbat habite.Un livre de patience, de discernement et de paix.

Planet NowhereFanfiction de la serie The Middle inspiree de l univers de Brick Heck par Mr Lampert AlexandreDans un univers situe bien au-dela de notre galaxie, Planet Nowhere explore un monde etrange, ancien et profondement mysterieux, dont l origine echappe a toute memoire connue. Guide par la celebre ligne d ouverture que Brick lit a Axl : "Au-dela de notre galaxie, au-dela de notre temps, au-dela de notre memoire collective, il existe une planete d origine curieuse", le recit plonge le lecteur dans une epopee monumentale de pres de neuf cents pages.L histoire suit plusieurs protagonistes confrontes a une planete instable, marquee par des civilisations disparues, des conflits anciens et des forces qui depassent l entendement humain. A travers explorations, revelations et alliances improbables, les heros decouvrent que Planet Nowhere n est pas seulement un lieu, mais un carrefour cosmique ou se jouent des enjeux bien plus vastes que leur propre survie.Entre mystere, aventure, drame et emerveillement, le roman developpe une mythologie riche, inspiree des fragments evoques dans The Middle, mais etendue en une saga complete : peuples enigmatique, technologies oubliees, secrets enfouis et une quete qui remet en question la nature meme du temps et de la memoire.Planet Nowhere est a la fois un hommage a l imagination de Brick Heck et une oeuvre independante, dense et immersive, qui transforme une simple reference humoristique de la serie en un univers epique et coherent.

Diese philosophische Trilogie untersucht eine grundlegende Frage: Was lasst sich aus der unmittelbaren Gewissheit des eigenen Bewusstseins uber Mensch, Wirklichkeit und Ursprung erkennen? Ausgehend vom "Ich bin"-Erleben entfaltet sich eine gedankliche Bewegung von der Analyse des Bewusstseins uber die Frage nach seinem personalen Ursprung bis hin zur Hypothese einer tieferen Verbindung zwischen Leben und Bewusstsein. Drei eigenstandige Bucher bilden zusammen einen zusammenhangenden Weg philosophischer Selbst- und Welterkenntnis.
