Tout quitter du jour au lendemain pour aller chercher, seule, au fin fond de la Chine communiste, les secrets oubliés de l'art antique chinois, était-ce bien raisonnable ? Fabienne Verdier ne s'est pas posé la question : en ce début des années 80, la jeune et brillante étudiante des Beaux-Arts est comme aimantée par le désir d'apprendre cet art pictural et calligraphique dévasté par la Révolution culturelle. Et lorsque, étrangère et perdue dans la province du Sichuan, elle se retrouve dans une école artistique régie par le Parti, elle est déterminée à affronter tous les obstacles.

Growing up in the 1960s in the suburbs of Chicago, Meg Kissinger’s family seemed to live a charmed life. With eight kids and two loving parents, the Kissingers radiated a warm, boisterous energy.

But behind closed doors, a harsher reality was unfolding.

The first biography to explore his life and work, Speak, Silence pursues the true Sebald through the memories of those who knew him and through the work he left behind. This quest takes Carole Angier from Sebald’s birth as a second-generation German at the end of the Second World War, through his rejection of the poisoned inheritance of the Third Reich, to his emigration to England. It digs deep into a creative mind on the edge, finding profound empathy and paradoxical coldness, saving humour and an elusive mix of fact and fiction in his life as well as work.

With humility and candor, artist activist Mary Fisher inspires us when, in her eighth decade, she creatively takes on disease, poverty, hunger, injustice, racism and the role of women. Uneasy Silence tells her story of speaking truth to power while living with AIDS, journeying through cancer and surviving a near-death experience. Her steady concern for The Other enables her to find the strength to stand up, speak up and make a difference, inspiring us to do the same.

As an orphaned survivor and witness to the horrors of Auschwitz, Elie Wiesel (1928-2016) compelled the world to confront the Holocaust with his searing memoir Night. How did this soft-spoken man from a small Carpathian town become such an influential figure on the world stage? Drawing on Wiesel’s prodigious literary output and interviews with his family, friends, scholars, and critics, Joseph Berger seeks to answer this question.
