Les derniers rois de Thulé
Véritable trésor ethnologique, ce livre constitue d’abord une somme d’informations irremplaçable sur les Inuits du Groenland. Mais son succès international, jamais démenti au cours de ses multiples rééditions depuis 1951, tient aussi au talent de conteur de Malaurie qui sait immerger le lecteur, jusqu’au plus infime détail, avec une patience et un souci de vérité infinis, dans la vie de ce grand Nord mythique, de cette « Ultima Thulé » des anciens. Ce géographe et géologue de formation qui cite Rimbaud (« Quelle sorcière va se dresser sur le couchant blanc ? ») fait revivre dans un style alerte chasses au morse et à l’ours, festins de viande crue, soirées de fête dans la nuit polaire, grands raids en traîneaux par moins 60 °C sur la banquise et les glaciers, levers de soleil dans le blizzard, songes, légendes et séances de sorcellerie. Formidable leçon d’humanisme, ce chef-d’œuvre inclassable est également l’occasion d’une réflexion approfondie sur la fragilité d’un environnement et d’une culture menacés.

Man vs Beast
En Anglais – CHERUB agents are all seventeen and under. They wear skate tees and hemp, and look like regular kids. But they're not. They are trained professionals who are sent out on missions to spy on terrorists and international drug dealers. CHERUB agents hack into computers, bug entire houses, and download crucial documents. It is a highly dangerous job. For their safety, these agents DO NOT EXIST. Mainstream animal protection groups have always stayed within the law, but a new band of radical liberationists argues that if humans and animals are equal, then it's right to kill or threaten one human in order to save the lives of many animals. In a new mission, James and the other CHERUB agents must go up against the most radical group yet in a daring and violent attempt to save hundreds of lives… including their own.
