La passion des chats
Les chats à robe lisse et les chats au pelage duveteux, les grands chats et les petits chats, ceux qui ont un pedigree et ceux qui n’en ont pas, les chats à poils longs et les chats à poils ras, les chats joueurs et les chats énigmatiques – tous sont représentés ici par 138 superbes photographies en couleurs. Christine Metcalf, juge d’expositions et éleveur expérimentée, évoque non seulement le plaisir de vivre en compagnie des chats et la manière de les soigner mais décrit aussi les différentes races y compris les plus récentes.

En Anglais – Kibera has become one of the most infamous slums in the world. But the visiting pop stars, politicians and Western journalists seldom explain how the enduring poverty and inequality in Kenya is intimately related to an unjust economic system that connects our different worlds. In this exposé, Adam Parsons sets out to unravel how a ‘megaslum’ such as Kibera came to exist, what economic forces shape the reality of life for slum-dwellers in Africa, and what it really means to live in extreme poverty. In a mix of travel writing, history and political narrative, Megaslumming vividly describes life in the slums through the eyes of its different residents – the AIDS orphans, the grandmother-headed households, the neglected schools, the Nubian elders, and most of all the street boys who become the author’s guides and bodyguards inside the dangerous shantytown. Written as a lucid introduction to global justice issues, this book ultimately raises serious questions about the current direction of world development – and points the way to a more equitable and inclusive future world.

A passage to India
En Anglais – A Passage to India (1924) is a novel by English author E. M. Forster set against the backdrop of the British Raj and the Indian independence movement in the 1920s. It was selected as one of the 100 great works of 20th century English literature by the Modern Library[1] and won the 1924 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction.[2] Time magazine included the novel in its « All Time 100 Novels » list.[3] The novel is based on Forster's experiences in India, deriving the title[4] from Walt Whitman's 1870 poem « Passage to India »[5] in Leaves of Grass. The story revolves around four characters: Dr. Aziz, his British friend Mr. Cyril Fielding, Mrs. Moore, and Miss Adela Quested. During a trip to the fictitious Marabar Caves (modeled on the Barabar Caves of Bihar),[6] Adela thinks she finds herself alone with Dr. Aziz in one of the caves (when in fact he is in an entirely different cave), and subsequently panics and flees; it is assumed that Dr. Aziz has attempted to assault her. Aziz's trial, and its run-up and aftermath, bring to a boil the common racial tensions and prejudices between Indians and the British who rule India.
