The girl who kicked the hornets’ nest – Millenium III
Lisbeth Salander is plotting her revenge – against the man who tried to kill her, and against the government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life. But it is not going to be a straightforward campaign. After taking a bullet to the head, Salander is under close supervision in Intensive Care, and is set to face trial for three murders and one attempted murder on her eventual release. With the help of journalist Mikael Blomkvist and his researchers at Millennium magazine, Salander must not only prove her innocence, but identify and denounce the corrupt politicians that have allowed the vulnerable to become victims of abuse and violence. Once a victim herself, Salander is now ready to fight back.

Every secret thing
En anglais – A passionate witness to the colossal upheaval that has transformed her native South Africa, Gillian Slovo has written a memoir that is far more than a story of her own life. For she is the daughter of Joe Slovo and Ruth First, South Africa’s pioneering anti-apartheid white activists, a daughter who always had to come second to political commitment. Whilst recalling the extraordinary events which surrounded her family’s persecution and exile, and reconstructing the truth of her parents’ relationship and her own turbulent childhood, Gillian Slovo has also created an astonishing portrait of a courageous mother and a father of integrity and stoicism.

Elle vous a vu passer à la caisse. Vous avez été des clients faciles ou des emmerdeurs, riches ou pauvres, complexés de la consommation ou frimeurs. Vous l’avez confondue avec une plante verte ou vous lui avez dit bonjour, vous avez trépigné à l’ouverture du magasin ou avez été l’habitué nonchalant des fermetures. Anna, vous l’avez draguée, méprisée, insultée. Il ne se passe rien dans la vie d’une caissière ? Maintenant, prenez votre chariot et suivez Anna jusqu’à sa caisse.
