Published on 2017-02-14 by Bloomsbury Publishing USA

Amazon's Best Biographies and Memoirs of 2017 List A moving celebration of what Bill Hayes calls |the evanescent, the eavesdropped, the unexpected| of life in New York City, and an intimate glimpse of his relationship with the late Oliver Sacks. |A beautifully written once-in-a-lifetime book, about love, about life, soul, and the wonderful loving genius Oliver Sacks, and New York, and laughter and all of creation.|--Anne Lamott Bill Hayes came to New York City in 2009 with a one-way ticket and only the vaguest idea of how he would get by. But, at forty-eight years old, having spent decades in San Francisco, he craved change. Grieving over the death of his partner, he quickly discovered the profound consolations of the city's incessant rhythms, the sight of the Empire State Building against the night sky, and New Yorkers themselves, kindred souls that Hayes, a lifelong insomniac, encountered on late-night strolls with his camera. And he unexpectedly fell in love again, with his friend and neighbor, the writer and neurologist Oliver Sacks, whose exuberance--|I don't so much fear death as I do wasting life,| he tells Hayes early on--is captured in funny and touching vignettes throughout. What emerges is a portrait of Sacks at his most personal and endearing, from falling in love for the first time at age seventy-five to facing illness and death (Sacks died of cancer in August 2015). Insomniac City is both a meditation on grief and a celebration of life. Filled with Hayes's distinctive street photos of everyday New Yorkers, the book is a love song to the city and to all who have felt the particular magic and solace it offers.

Parrains du sud PDF
By:Christian Lestavel,Sébastien Gendron
Published on 2013-02-20 by Editions Toucan

Christian Lestavel a 18 ans quand il est arrêté et condamné à 20 ans de réclusion pour tentative de meurtre. Enfant abandonné, il a très tôt versé dans la délinquance puis les braquages. En prison, il est « retourné » par un haut responsable des RG et se voit proposé un « marché » : infiltrer le Milieu du sud-est de la France et en particulier les plus grands trafiquants de drogue et d’armes. Il passe ensuite plus de vingt ans aux côtés des caïds les plus redoutés, au cœur de la bande de Tany Zampa et aux côtés de Siciliens ou de Colombiens. Dans ce livre, il fait le récit de la vie quotidienne d’hommes et de femmes traqués par toutes les polices et, plus souvent encore, par leurs congénères ou leurs « associés ». Exécutions, rackets, prostitution, organisation du business de la drogue comme on structure une entreprise, prise en main des casinos mais aussi vie de famille et liens d’amitié, amours et séjours en prison. En un mot pour la première fois la face cachée du grand banditisme dans le sud de la France.

Quand nous étions innocents PDF
By:Mémona Hintermann,Lutz Krusche
Published on 2009-01-14 by JC Lattès

Un amour franco-allemand Pologne, 1989. Lors d`une visite officielle du Président Mitterrand, deux journalistes tombent amoureux et ne se quittent plus : La Française Mémona Hintermann, grand reporter de France 3 et l`Allemand Lutz Krusche, correspondant du magazine Der Spiegel. Deux parcours hors norme, émouvants, surprenants et parfois fous, se croisent et s’unissent. Elle, sortie d`une pauvreté extrême à l’île de la Réunion, fait son chemin vers les hauteurs du journalisme international. Lui, assiste, enfant la chute de l ́hitlérisme, sa petite famille bourgeoise fuyant l`Armée Rouge à pied et dans la neige, tombant dans la misère totale. Mémona et Lutz découvrent leur destin commun – la bataille quotidienne de survie, l`espoir et la réussite grâce à la foi en Dieu et à ses propres forces. Mémona remet debout Lutz après la mort tragique de sa fille et raconte les coulisses de ses grands reportages de guerre et révolutions en Asie, en Europe de L ́Est, en Afrique, au Proche-Orient : un vrai trésor d`information et d`anecdotes. Lui, documente ses parcours avec humour – sa découverte époustouflée de la France et son ascension d`un minuscule canard de province allemand au grand journalisme international. Ces deux obsédés du reportage décrivent, chacun pour soi et ensemble, les faiblesses des plus puissants du monde qu`ils ont tous rencontrés, et la force tranquille de ceux d ́en bas.

Before Auschwitz PDF
By:Angela Kershaw
Published on 2009-09-10 by Routledge

This book analyses Irene Némirovsky’s literary production in its relationship to the literary and cultural context of the inter-war period in France. It examines topics of central importance to our understanding of the literary field in France in the period, such as: the close relationship between politics and literature; the historical, political, cultural and personal legacies of the First World War; the so-called ‘crisis of the novel’ and the attempt to create and develop new narrative forms; the phenomenon of Russian emigration to Paris in the wake of the Russian Revolution and Civil War; the possibilities for the creation of a French-Jewish identity and mode of writing; and the threat of fascism and the approach of the Second World War.
