Библиотека посольства России в Париже

Забытая война и преданные герои

"Империалистическая война", "буржуазно-помещичьи интересы", "царистский режим" - такими терминами пестрят страницы многих изданных даже в наши дни книг, посвященных истории Первой мировой войны. Материалы настоящего издания помогают увидеть историю войны, которую в России в те далекие годы называли Великой и Второй Отечественной, свободной от идеологических и политических штампов. Авторы пишут о характере Первой мировой, ее значении для России и роли нашей страны в войне, героизме русской армии, месте России в послевоенной системе международных отношений, актуальности изучения российской истории того периода и многом другом. В 2014 году мир будет отмечать 100-летие начала Первой мировой войны. Надо, чтобы грядущая юбилейная дата помогла преодолеть стереотипы восприятия этой войны как в России, так и за рубежом.

Xenophobe's Guide to the English

David Milsted | Antony Miall

Never overstep the markModeration―a treasured ideal―means a lot to the English. Their respect for it is reflected in their shared dislike of any person who “goes too far.” Irrational rationalityThe English can admire something without enjoying it, or enjoy something they suspect is fundamentally reprehensible. You can never be sure which stance they are going to take―the reassuringly reasonable, or the wildly irrational. I'm fine, reallyStoicism, the capacity to greet life's vicissitudes with cheerful calm, is an essential ingredient of Englishness. Push-me, pull-youTwo equally fundamental but contradictory English characteristics are a love of continuity and a yearning for change. In the English character these two opposite desires vie with each other constantly, which produces some curious behavior patterns and several characteristics most usually observed in the classic split personality.

Les Médicaments m'ont tuée

Elise Maillard

Tout commence par une simple migraine. Et quelques cachets d'Ibuprofène pour la soulager. Delphine a d'abord de la fièvre puis ses yeux gonflent. Très vite, la vie de cette mère de famille se transforme en cauchemar. Son épiderme fond : elle est transférée dans le service des grands brûlés de Créteil. Il faudra le soutien du personnel médical, la mobilisation de sa famille et un courage incroyable pour la sortir de cet engrenage infernal.

En racontant au jour le jour le combat contre la mort de sa soeur Delphine, Elise Maillard livre un témoignage-choc, une course contre la montre qui se lit comme un roman à suspense.

En vente courante dans les pharmacies, l'Ibuprofène est l'anti-inflammatoire le plus consommé en France.

Certains effets secondaires de médicaments peuvent tuer, il est temps que cela se sache.

Marie-Antoinette. Princesse autrichienne à Versailles, 1769-1771

Kathryn Lasky

"13 juin 1769. Oh mon Dieu, ça y est ! elle est enfin là - la demande en mariage ! Les émissaires du roi Louis XV sont arrivés ce matin. J'ai tout de suite été appelée dans la maison d'été où maman travaille. Je pensais que j'allais me faire gronder parce que j'avais joué à me laisser rouler le long des collines ! Mais j'ai à peine posé le pied dans la salle de réception en marbre que maman s'est précipitée vers moi. Elle m'a écrasée sur sa poitrine et m'a murmuré : "Antonia, tu vas te marier ! Tu vas devenir reine de France !" Ses joues étaient toutes mouillées de larmes, et les miennes n'ont pas tardé à l'être aussi !"

Moriarty

Anthony Horowitz

Days after the encounter at the Swiss waterfall, Pinkerton detective agent Frederick Chase arrives in Europe from New York. Moriarty's death has left an immediate, poisonous vacuum in the criminal underworld, and there is no shortage of candidates to take his place--including one particularly fiendish criminal mastermind. Chase and Scotland Yard Inspector Athelney Jones, a devoted student of Holmes' methods of investigation and deduction originally introduced by Conan Doyle in The Sign of Four, must forge a path through the darkest corners of England's capital--from the elegant squares of Mayfair to the shadowy wharfs and alleyways of the London Docks--in pursuit of this sinister figure, a man much feared but seldom seen, who is determined to stake his claim as Moriarty's successor.

Lundi ou mardi/Monday or Tuesday

Michèle Rivoire | Virginia Woolf

Ce qui captive l'imagination de Virginia Woolf n'est pas tant de dire avec exactitude ce qu'elle veut dire, communiquer ou représenter, que de trouver une forme et une langue capable de donner abri à son savoir d'artiste. Forme et langue sont pour elle à réinventer continuellement : et c'est de là où règne pour chacun, dans la langue, une jouissance inarticulée que Virginia Woolf nous invite à la joie de la lecture. Huit nouvelles d'une grande diversité pour découvrir l'oeuvre de l'un des plus importants écrivains anglais du XXᵉ siècle.

The Fault in Our Stars

John Green

*The film tie-in edition of John Green's witty yet heart-breaking tour de force. This edition of the multi-million #1 bestseller contains images from the major motion picture starring Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort.

"I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, then all at once."

Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten.

Insightful, bold, irreverent, and raw, The Fault in Our Stars is award-winning author John Green's most ambitious and heartbreaking work yet, brilliantly exploring the funny, thrilling, and tragic business of being alive and in love.

Sunday Times (Culture)
'A touching, often fiercely funny novel'

The Sun on Sunday (Fabulous Magazine)
'So good I think it should be compulsory reading for everyone!'

Daily Express
'John Green brilliantly captures the voices of a young generation while instilling it with the wisdom of a life that has lived too much yet will never live enough.
Rather than depressing, the book is filled with dark humour and is written with a beautiful simplicity that draws the reader in so deeply that it's not just the twist and turns but the gently bends and curves that you feel tugging at your emotions... No doubt in the end you will cry but you will also feel that you have discovered a little something about living'

Daily Telegraph
'The novel, written for teenagers, but proving even more popular with adults'

The Metro - 2013 Best Fiction
The YA crossover hit of the year. The love affair of two terminally ill teenagers could be mawkish. In fact, it's funny, clever, irreverent and life-affirming.

The Guardian
'A Smart Book'

Grazia
'So good!'

Good Housekeeping
'John Green may write for young adults, but his intelligent sensitive style means The Fault in Our Stars defies categorisation... as funny as it is heartbreaking... we defy you not to fall in love with its main characters, Hazel and Augustus.'

The Tablet
'A humourous and poignant love story... It's terrifically funny... as well as a moving exploration of loss and grief. And no, it's so much not just for teenage cancer sufferers... it's for everyone.'

Bliss
'If you need inspiration when it comes to making the most of a moment, this one is for you'

Mizz
'Exploring the funny, thrilling and tragic business of being alive and in love, this is a life-affirming tale of two teenagers who are terminally ill. Insightful, bold, irreverent and raw, if this doesn't make you cry, it'll definitely make you think, laugh and maybe even fall in love yourself!'

** A thought-provoking love story from the New York Times bestselling author of Looking for Alaska, An Abundance of Katherines, Paper Towns and - with David Levithan - Will Grayson, Will Grayson.
** John Green has over 2.3 million Twitter followers, and more than 2.1 million subscribers to Vlogbrothers, the YouTube channel he created with his brother, Hank.
** The Fault in Our Stars will capture a crossover audience in the same vein as Zadie Smith, David Nicholls' One Day and Before I Die by Jenny Downham.
** 'Electric . . . Filled with staccato bursts of humor and tragedy' - Jodi Picoult
** 'A novel of life and death and the people caught in between, The Fault in Our Stars is John Green at his best. You laugh, you cry, and then you come back for more' - Markus Zusak, author of The Book Thief

Putin Country

Anne Garrels

Short-listed for the Pushkin House Russian Book Prize

From the award-winning author of Naked in Baghdad comes Anne Garrels's revealing look into the lives of ordinary Russians, Putin Country.

More than twenty years ago, the NPR correspondent Anne Garrels first visited Chelyabinsk, a gritty military-industrial center a thousand miles east of Moscow. The longtime home of the Soviet nuclear program, the Chelyabinsk region contained beautiful lakes, shuttered factories, mysterious closed cities, and some of the most polluted places on earth. Garrels’s goal was to chart the aftershocks of the U.S.S.R.’s collapse by traveling to Russia’s heartland.

Returning again and again, Garrels found that the area’s new freedoms and opportunities were exciting but also traumatic. As the economic collapse of the early 1990s abated, the city of Chelyabinsk became richer and more cosmopolitan, even as official corruption and intolerance for minorities grew more entrenched. Sushi restaurants proliferated; so did shakedowns. In the neighboring countryside, villages crumbled into the ground. Far from the glitz of Moscow, the people of Chelyabinsk were working out their country’s destiny, person by person.

In Putin Country, Garrels crafts an intimate portrait of Middle Russia. We meet upwardly mobile professionals, impassioned activists who champion the rights of orphans and disabled children, and ostentatious mafiosi. We discover surprising subcultures, such as a vibrant underground gay community and a circle of determined Protestant evangelicals. And we watch doctors and teachers trying to cope with inescapable payoffs and institutionalized negligence. As Vladimir Putin tightens his grip on power and war in Ukraine leads to Western sanctions and a lower standard of living, the local population mingles belligerent nationalism with a deep ambivalence about their country’s direction. Through it all, Garrels sympathetically charts an ongoing identity crisis. In the aftermath of the Soviet Union, what is Russia? What kind of pride and cohesion can it offer? Drawing on close friendships sustained over many years, Garrels explains why Putin commands the loyalty of so many Russians, even those who decry the abuses of power they regularly encounter.

Correcting the misconceptions of Putin’s supporters and critics alike, Garrels’s portrait of Russia’s silent majority is both essential and engaging reading at a time when cold war tensions are resurgent.

Эти странные французы

М. Сиретт

`Французы - великие снобы. Их снобизм проявляется, например, в том, какие породы собак они предпочитают, в одежде, которую они носят, в выборе района, где они намерены поселиться, или школы, в которой будут учиться их дети. Они обожают вводить разнообразные неписаные правила в этикет, моду, этику, дипломатию, искусство, литературу и юриспруденцию. Французы свято верят в закон и право, полагая, что все должно делаться по правилам, в нужное время и в нужном месте. Зато они терпеть не могут всяких мелких `придирок` и чаще всего просто не обращают на них внимания - сюда относятся, например, требования парковаться и курить в определенных местах, соблюдать правила дорожного движения и не швырять мусор, где попало`.
