Lucien Comte de Chacarasse genießt das Leben an der Côte d’Azur in vollen Zügen: azurblaues Wasser, provenzalische Köstlichkeiten und die Leichtigkeit des Sommers. Doch dann überbringt sein Onkel Edmond einen neuen Mordauftrag. Das Opfer, ein schwerreicher Argentinier, lebt auf Sardinien. Und der Mann soll unbedingt vor seiner deutlich älteren Frau das Zeitliche segnen. Warum, will Edmond nicht verraten. Notgedrungen reist Lucien auf die italienische Mittelmeerinsel. Während er sein Opfer ausspioniert, hat er eine geniale Idee: Er inszeniert eine Entführung – und geht im letzten Moment dazwischen.

Quoi qu'en disent les pragmatiques à outrance, les utilitaires, ce que l'Homme cherche tout le long de sa vie, ce qu'il poursuit plus que le pain et tout le bien-être matériel, c'est le savoir. L'essence même de notre vie est de tendre non pas à être mieux, mais à être plus. Or, un instinct plus fort que toutes les remontrances des sceptiques et des faux sages nous en avertit : pour être plus, il faut d'abord que nous sachions plus.

Forerunner to the renowned operas, The Figaro Plays by Pierre Augustin Caron De Beaumarchais are a celebration of how intelligence and wit can bring any servant level with their aristocratic masters.

Luke Valente is the perfect stranger. A bit of a sweet-talker and good looking. I mean, so good looking I nearly forgot how much my night sucked before he walked up. I swear he came out of nowhere, but it wasn’t just that heartbreaker smile of his that made me melt. It was the two little words that tumbled from his lips. “Marry me.” I know … I know. It all sounds crazy and I should have taken off running as soon as he suggested it. Especially when it became clear the proposal wasn’t an act. But one-hundred-percent real. With the question lingering between us, I knew I should have ...

Le nom de Jean Moulin, sa figure sont devenus familiers à tous les Français. En ne parlant pas sous la torture, il a racheté les lâchetés de nombreux Français pendant l'Occupation.

Faut-il inscrire le tragique épisode de Caluire dans un combat fratricide ? Ce grand livre d'enquête de Pierre Péan, fourmillant de révélations, redonne à Jean Moulin une dimension humaine. Le héros était aussi un homme.

Le XVIème siècle est très riche, notamment en raison des grandes découvertes et à la pensée humaniste qui se diffuse chez tous les intellectuels de l'époque. Il y a effusion et diffusion des connaissances : on veut tout savoir, tout comprendre. C'est aussi un moment de retour aux textes antiques. La Pléiade, avec Du Bellay et Ronsard, est un groupe d'amis poètes qui ont pour volonté de renouveler la poésie du Moyen Age qu'ils considèrent comme dépassée.

**Special Notice: This romance is of the darker variety. The hero is flawed and dirty. Consider yourself warned.** Insomniac. Narcissist. Sex addict. The only description sex therapist, Vanessa Ferris, was given of her newest patient, a fellow psychologist, Dr. Zander Hale. From the moment he entered her office, she knew he’d be trouble—possibly the good kind. What she wasn’t prepared for was how he’d blindside her; how he would challenge everything she thought she knew about her profession, about herself. There are certain lines a doctor is warned never to cross with their patients...

With the doubling of time, there is no time for chance to exist! Like the particles, in the infinitely small as well as in the infinitely large, we are on Earth, the observers of an intermediate time between (external observers)+ evolving in a very fast time and (internal observers)- evolving in a very slow time. In three doubled times - past, present, future - permanent and anticipatory exchanges of information take place in imperceptible time openings. They are regulated by three speeds: the speed of light C0 and two superluminal speeds C1 and C2. Independent of the speed of the observer,...
