The basis for the blockbuster motion picture directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Shutter Island by New York Times bestselling author Dennis Lehane is a gripping and atmospheric psychological thriller where nothing is quite what it seems. The New York Times calls Shutter Island , "Startlingly original." The Washington Post raves, "Brilliantly conceived and executed." A masterwork of suspense and surprise from the author of Mystic River and Gone, Baby, Gone, Shutter Island carries the reader into a nightmare world of madness, mind control, and CIA Cold War paranoia and is unlike anything you've ever read before.
Pour la première fois réédité en format poche L' Atlas des Régions Naturelles Vol.2 est le second tome d'une aventure photographique singulière, autant par ses dimensions que par sa durée. Commencée il y a cinq ans, son ambition est de documenterde manière égale les 450 régions naturelles ou "pays" composant le territoire français. Le terme "région naturelle" ou "pays" désigne des territoires de petites tailles dont les limites renvoyant à leurs caractéristiques naturelles sont - par opposition aux départements administratifs issus de la Révolution - difficiles à tracer. Né d'une volonté de documenter l'architecture vernaculaire française et, plus largement, de représenter un territoire dans toutes ses nuances, l'Atlas des Régions Naturelles devient une entreprise de relevé photographique titanesque.
Réedition en format broché du troisième volet de l'Atlas des Régions Naturelles d'Eric Tabuchi et de Nelly Monnier. Les deux artistes poursuivent leur projet au long cours engagé en 2017 : la documentation globale des 450 régions naturelles - ou « pays » - qui composent le territoire français. Une aventure photographique hors normes destinée à se déployer sur plusieurs années. En 384 pages et plus de 500 images, l'Atlas des Régions Naturelles Vol. 3 réunit 12 « portraits » de régions naturelles, ponctués de 4 entrées thématiques. Comme chaque tome, l'ouvrage est accompagné d'une carte en guise d'index glissée en fin de volume. Chapitres du troisième volume : Pays d'Auge, Brie, Camargue, Architecture d'entraînement, Cézallier, Combrailles, Côte des Bar, Discothèques, Pays de Montbéliard, Outre-Forêt, Revermont, Géométrie publique, Rochefortais, Pays de Serres, Pays toulousain, Infrasculptures.
The gripping first installment in New York Times bestselling author Tahereh Mafi's Shatter Me series. One touch is all it takes. One touch, and Juliette Ferrars can leave a fully grown man gasping for air. One touch, and she can kill. No one knows why Juliette has such incredible power. It feels like a curse, a burden that one person alone could never bear. But The Reestablishment sees it as a gift, sees her as an opportunity. An opportunity for a deadly weapon. Juliette has never fought for herself before. But when she's reunited with the one person who ever cared about her, she finds a strength she never knew she had. And don't miss Defy Me , the shocking fifth book in the Shatter Me series!
L'artiste québécoise Julie Doucet est invitée par le musée Tomi Ungerer - Centre international de l'Illustration en 2024. À cette occasion, elle propose un travail personnel et inédit, un petit " livre d'artiste ", entre le collage et la poésie, pour découvrir une autre facette de cette bédéiste culte, Grand Prix du Festival d'Angoulême en 2022.
L'artiste québécoise Julie Doucet compte parmi les auteurs et autrices les plus important·es et les plus influent·es de la bande dessinée alternative au Canada, aux États-Unis, en France et en Allemagne depuis les années 1990. En 2022, elle a reçu le Grand Prix du Festival d'Angoulême pour l'ensemble de son oeuvre. Cette autrice culte a créé une oeuvre foisonnante qui, outre le dessin, s'étend aussi à la gravure, au collage, à la vidéo et à la poésie.
Au coeur de cette oeuvre se trouve un profond désir de rupture avec les contraintes sociales et artistiques formelles. Dans les années 1990, à travers sa série de bandes dessinées autofictionnelles Dirty Plotte, Julie Doucet apporte à la scène alternative de la bande dessinée une vision subjective et radicale de la condition féminine. Sa représentation des menstruations, de la masturbation, de la santé mentale, mais aussi les expériences de concurrence et de réussite dans un domaine dominé par les hommes, ouvrent pour toute une génération de dessinatrices la possibilité d'une écriture située. Elle préfigure ainsi l'autofiction comme méthode d'empowerment, de prise de pouvoir sur sa propre vie. Dans les années 2000, Julie Doucet abandonne la bande dessinée pour passer à d'autres formes d'art. Elle développe alors une pratique plastique dans laquelle il s'agit toujours de réinventer le rapport entre l'image et l'écriture. Ses illustrations et collages sont des images de matière, ses films sont des études sur la ligne, ses photocomics sont des images à lire à voix haute.
En terme de fabrication et d'édition, sa pratique va du fanzine underground, en passant par ses publications dans les toutes premières maisons d'édition de BD, jusqu'à une pratique expérimentale sur la forme matérielle du livre, à laquelle elle est revenue ces dernières années. À l'occasion de l'exposition qui lui est dédiée au musée Tomi Ungerer, elle proposera un travail inédit, personnel, à mi-chemin entre le collage et la poésie : un petit " livre d'artiste " qui permettra de découvrir une autre facette de cette grande figure de la bande dessinée.

Faisant suite à Atlas of Forms, livre paru en 2017, puis aux 4 premiers volumes de l'Atlas des Régions Naturelles, Atlas of AI Forms complète une trilogie des Atlas dont le sujet est autant l'architecture au sens large que l'image dans ses différents modes de production et de diff usion. Si le premier ouvrage utilisait l'internet comme source principale, et si à l'inverse le second explore les réalités locales de la France contemporaine, Atlas of AI Forms se propose d'expérimenter l'intelligence artificielle comme outil de représentation du réel. Une plongée en profondeur dans les arcanes de Midjourney et plusieurs centaines d'heures de travail auront été nécessaires pour produire le millier d'images courant sur les 320 pages d'Atlas of AI Forms. Le livre se propose, au delà de l'étonnement ou du rejet que suscitent ces images d'un genre nouveau, de vérifi er dans quelle mesure l'intelligence artifi cielle peut remettre en cause notre façon de regarder et, par delà, de percevoir le réel pour fi nalement formuler l'hypothèse que cette vision modifi ée modèlera les formes à venir de l'architecture mais aussi du design, de la sculpture ou de la peinture plus encore que celles de la photographie.

All Frenchmen know you have to become civilised between eighteen and twenty-three and that civilisation comes upon you by contact with an older woman, by revolution, by army discipline, by any escape or any subjection, and then you are civilised and life goes on normally in a latin way.'' Gertrude Stein''s Paris France, published in 1940 on the day Paris fell to Nazi Germany, is a witty account of Stein''s life in France, and the perfect introduction to her work.
WALL STREET JOURNAL STORIES THAT CAN TAKE YOU ANYWHERE PICK * ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY''S STAY HOME AND READ PICK * SALON''S BEST AND BOLDEST * BUSTLE''S MOST ANTICIPATED The Emissary meets The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime in this poignant and triumphant story about how love, friendship, and persistence can change a life forever. This story is, in short, about a monster meeting another monster. One of the monsters is me. Yunjae was born with a brain condition called Alexithymia that makes it hard for him to feel emotions like fear or anger. He does not have friends--the two almond-shaped neurons located deep in his brain have seen to that--but his devoted mother and grandmother provide him with a safe and content life. Their little home above his mother''s used bookstore is decorated with colorful Post-it notes that remind him when to smile, when to say "thank you," and when to laugh. Then on Christmas Eve--Yunjae''s sixteenth birthday--everything changes. A shocking act of random violence shatters his world, leaving him alone and on his own. Struggling to cope with his loss, Yunjae retreats into silent isolation, until troubled teenager Gon arrives at his school, and they develop a surprising bond. As Yunjae begins to open his life to new people--including a girl at school--something slowly changes inside him. And when Gon suddenly finds his life at risk, Yunjae will have the chance to step outside of every comfort zone he has created to perhaps become the hero he never thought he would be. Readers of Wonder by R.J. Palaccio and Ginny Moon by Benjamin Ludwig will appreciate this "resonant" story that "gives Yunjae the courage to claim an entirely different story."

Few artists'' letters are as self-revelatory as Vincent van Gogh''s. From the humanistic inspiration behind The Potato Eaters to his long-time obsession with painting the vision that eventually became The Starry Night, the letters in this selection paint an intense personal narrative of his artistic development and creative process across the years. They reveal a man of great spiritual and emotional depths who - in his own words - did everything ''for art and for life itself''.>
A visual celebration of the eminent photographer's most significant works collects four hundred chronologically arranged, essay-complemented pieces, from his first landscapes of Yosemite and the High Sierra in 1916, to his depictions of national parks in the 1940s, to his last achievements from the 1960s. 125,000 first printing.
"To realize one's destiny is a person's only obligation."--from The Alchemist The Alchemist tells the story of Santiago, the young Andalusian shepherd who dreams of buried treasure in Egypt and embarks upon a challenging journey to find it. With all the simplicity and symbolic richness of a fable, Coelho's novel is both a hunt for buried treasure and a spiritual quest, with a hero who overcomes trials along the way with the help of teachers who guide him. Paulo Coelho's books have difficult--and valuable--lessons to impart, but much of their appeal comes from the way Coelho dramatizes these lessons. With exquisite simplicity, the author brings to these stories his own experience of confronting life's most profound challenges, his broad knowledge of philosophy, psychology, and literature, and a deeply-felt humanity.
