C'est un de ces soirs ou je trayais les vaches dans la lumiere du soleil couchant que je l'ai vu pour la premiere fois. Un canot est apparu, descendant en silence la riviere. Un homme torse nu, a la peau cuivree, ramait sans se presser, se laissant pousser par le courant. Il paraissait a peine plus age que moi. Nos regards se sont croises. Il n'a pas souri. Et je n'ai pas eu peur.Ce roman raconte l'histoire d'Almanda Simeon, une orpheline amoureuse qui va partager la vie des Innus de Pekuakami. Elle apprendra l'existence nomade et la langue, et brisera les barrieres imposees aux femmes autochtones. Relate sur un ton intimiste, le parcours de cette femme exprime l'attachement aux valeurs ancestrales des Innus et le besoin de liberte qu'eprouvent les peuples nomades, encore aujourd'hui.

Considered by many to be the iconic French memoirist's defining work, The Years is a narrative of the period 1941 to 2006 told through the lens of memory, impressions past and present, cultural habits, language, photos, books, songs, radio, television, advertising and news headlines. Annie Ernaux invents a form that is subjective and impersonal, private and communal, and a new genre - the collective autobiography - in order to capture the passing of time. At the confluence of autofiction and sociology, The Years is 'a Remembrance of Things Past for our age of media domination and consumerism' (New York Times), a monumental account of twentieth-century French history as refracted through the life of one woman.

Llibre de poemes.Proleg de Jordi LlavinaLlibre de poemes.Proleg de Jordi LlavinaAl bosc, neixen les plantes, arriben les pluges i els incendis, i de tant en tant se sent leco duna destral, com si marques el ritme duns poemes que volen fixar les coses que ens importen abans de la tempesta definitiva. En aquest escenari, que es real i figurat, se senten les veus de la natura i les ombres dels poetes i pintors que lhan celebrat abans. Passen les estacions, pero sempre queden els records duna vida viscuda, com un eco que ressona i que adverteix de la tempesta, perquecom diu un vers del llibretot avança lleument vers la claror i la mort.Tant es don ve la boira i quin miracle empenylolor del romani: la nit raspalla els nuvolsi les gotes de pluja sarrengleren als rafecs,transparents i rodones, condemnades a caure.No cal saber res mes de tantes coses gracils,perque en aquest instant nomes aixo es veritat:tot avança lleument vers la claror i la mort.Llibre de poemes.Proleg de Jordi Llavina

Impetuoso, lieve, sconvolgente: e il vento che soffia senza requie sulle pendici del Rossarco, leggendaria, enigmatica altura a pochi chilometri dal mar Jonio. Il vento scuote gli olivi secolari e gli arbusti odorosi, ulula nel buio, canta di un antico segreto sepolto e fa danzare le foglie come ricordi dimenticati. Proprio i ricordi condivisi sulla "collina del vento" costituiscono le radici profonde della famiglia Arcuri, che da generazioni considera il Rossarco non solo luogo sacro delle origini, ma anche simbolo di una terra vitale che non si arrende e tempio all'aria aperta di una dirittura etica forte quanto una fede. Cosi, quando il celebre archeologo trentino Paolo Orsi sale sulla collina alla ricerca della mitica citta di Krimisa e la campagna di scavi si tinge di giallo, gli Arcuri cominciano a scontrarsi con l'invidia violenta degli uomini, la prepotenza del latifondista locale e le intimidazioni mafiose. Testimone fin da bambino di questa straordinaria resistenza ai soprusi e Michelangelo Arcuri, che molti anni dopo diventera il custode della collina e dei suoi inconfessabili segreti. Ma spettera a Rino, il piu giovane degli Arcuri, di onorare una promessa fatta al padre e ricostruire pezzo per pezzo un secolo di storia familiare che s'intreccia con la grande storia d'Italia, dal primo conflitto mondiale agli anni cupi del fascismo, dalla liberazione alla rinascita di un'intera nazione nel sogno di un benessere illusorio.
