Cool !
En Anglais – One day Robbie is hit by a car while running after his dog, Lucky. Unconscious, Robbie lies in hospital, unable to speak, move or eat. But he can hear; he is aware. His friends and family try desperately to reach him – even Zola, his favourite Chelsea footballer, comes to see him. And still Robbie can’t ‘wake up’. Until one day, against hospital rules, Dad brings Lucky into the hospital. Can Lucky bring Robbie back to life ?
The black country
En Anglais – When members of a prominent family disappear from a coal-mining village—and a human eyeball is discovered in a bird’s nest—the local constable sends for help from Scotland Yard’s new Murder Squad. Fresh off the grisly 1889 murders of The Yard, Inspector Walter Day and Sergeant Nevil Hammersmith respond, but they have no idea what they’re about to get into. The villagers have intense, intertwined histories. Everybody bears a secret. Superstitions abound. And the village itself is slowly sinking into the mines beneath it. Not even the arrival of forensics pioneer Dr. Bernard Kingsley seems to help. In fact, the more the three of them investigate, the more they realize they may never be allowed to leave . . . .
Robespierre
Comment peut-on aimer Robespierre ? Comment peut-on s’attacher à un homme dont le nom même évoque la Grande Terreur de 1793 ? Si l’opinion courante garde de ce personnage l’image d’un dictateur “juste capable de verser le sang du peuple”, derrière ce masque existe un Robespierre dont le portrait mérite d’être tracé.
Aucun révolutionnaire de 1791 à 1794 n’a eu une popularité aussi continue, aussi profonde, aussi convaincue. Robespierre rêvait d’installer une société fraternelle et il apparaissait, aux heures où tout semblait perdu, comme le visage de l’espérance.
D’“incorruptible”, Robespierre fut transformé par la propagande thermidorienne en dictateur sanguinaire. Monstre ou martyr, il est une figure de la Révolution que Jean Massin, avec toute la rigueur d’un historien, nous permet de reconnaître.
« J’ai à raconter l’histoire du héros d’une épopée ; je n’ai pas oublié pour autant que, nécessaires ou accidentelles, les insuffisances et les erreurs de ce héros ont contribué à faire aussi de son histoire un drame. »
Jean Massin
