The magic finger
EN ANGLAIS
To the Gregg family, hunting is just plain fun. To the girl who lives next door, it’s just plain horrible. She tries to be polite. She tries to talk them out of it, but the Greggs only laugh at her. Then one day the Greggs go too far, and the little girl turns her Magic Finger on them. When she’s very, very angry, the little girl’s Magic Finger takes over. She really can’t control it, and now it’s turned the Greggs into birds! Before they know it, the Greggs are living in a nest, and that’s just the beginning of their problems….

We need to talk about Ross
En anglais – Ross O’Carroll-Kelly is many things to many people. But ten years after he lifted the Leinster Schools Senior Cup, Ireland’s most beloved rogue remains one of its most misunderstood figures. His accomplishments on the rugby field – and in the bedroom – remain the stuff of legend, but the truth about him remains hidden by the accretion of myth. Now, for the first time, the lid is lifted on the enigma that is South Dublin’s most eligible married man. In more than a hundred interviews with his family and friends – those who’ve loved him, hated him and slept with him – the first ever composite portrait of the Celtic Tiger’s most famous cub emerges. From the mother who didn’t want him to the father who wanted him too much, from the friends who shared his misadventures to the women who shared his bed – or, failing that, a back alley or bus shelter – this searingly honest biography fills in all the blanks in the life of the self-styled Cock of Foxrock.

Examinant les conséquences les plus concrètes comme les effets à long terme, Michel Fauquier appelle à une réflexion qui ne soit pas menée au nom des seuls impératifs économiques, mais qui prenne en compte le véritable intérêt humain.
Ma vie, mon oeuvre, mon scooter
« C’est un livre que j’ai longtemps mûri : l’idée m’en est venue quand j’avais trois ans et demi, pendant que mon père cassait des cailloux en Allemagne, du 9 au 16 novembre 1989. Simplement, pour le publier, j’ai attendu de savoir écrire et d’être légitime – parce que moi, je ne veux pas du soupçon. » J. S.
