Her

Le hasard n'existe pas. Je crois fermement au fait que les personnes que nous rencontrons tout au long de notre vie, sont aussi inscrites dans les pages du livre de notre destinée. L'amour n'a pas une définition fixe, il est défini et varie selon le point de vue de chacun mais le mien se définit en trois lettres : toi. Je ne saurais dire mais, tu m'as comme, allumé l'âme et ce qui allume l'âme est exceptionnellement inexplicable car ça se ressent. Nous sommes à deux la définition de notre amour, deux âmes aux essences différentes qui sont parvenues à créer une parfaite harmonie qu'on entendrait même dans les cieux. "Peut-être que je n'aurais dû sauté les pages du livre de ma propre vie, Car dans quelques chapitres étaient écrits que l'on se reverra. Parce que tu méritais un merci. ". .

Toutes les femmes tombent aux pieds de William Nichols... Sauf qu'elle n'est pas comme toutes les femmes. Quand Samia découvre la raison pour laquelle son amie Jo l'a recommandée au poste d'assistante du puissant homme d'affaires William Nichols, elle hésite entre la colère et le rire. Car son nouveau patron souffre d'un problème de taille : toutes ses assistantes finissent inlassablement par tomber amoureuses de lui.

Pourtant, au fil des réunions tardives, des préparations de dossier et des rendez-vous clients, Samia commence à comprendre pourquoi tant de femmes ont succombé à son patron. Et parfois, elle jurerait même que William Nichols la regarde d'une façon pas tout à fait professionnelle... A propos de l'auteur Mily Black vit en Normandie et aime consacrer son temps libre à l'écriture. La série Something About Us est la première qu'elle publie dans la collection &H.

A Life of Her Own

This study reconstructs Brittain's feminist theory, which mainly refutes assumptions made about women, supports companionate marriage, and demands the communal reorganization of child care and domestic work to enable a married woman to work outside her home. It compares her theory to her five novels. Doing so, it uncovers revealing feminist 'flaws', above all that marriage remains, the sine qua non for a woman's happiness. The study describes Brittain's way to the top as a formidable obstacle race, in which she constantly had to fight the men she loved, her children, her parents, and resulting domesticity in order to find time to write "the book of the decade". She reached her goal with the publication of Testament of Youth in 1933.

Consolation Tome 1 : Saving Her

Ils avaient tout pour être heureux... c'était un mensonge. Liam n'aurait pas dû être sa seconde chance. L'homme qu'elle était censée aimer pour toujours, c'était Aaron, son mari. Bien sûr, pour les femmes de militaires, "toujours" n'existe pas. Natalie savait qu'être veuve si jeune - à vingt-sept ans à peine - était une possibilité. En revanche, qu'il n'ait suffi que de quelques instants avec Liam pour remettre en question toute son histoire avec Aaron... ça, elle ne l'aurait jamais imaginé. Elle qui pensait avoir déjà vécu le grand amour, la voilà confrontée pour la première fois à des émotions qui la dépassent : la douleur, le désir, la culpabilité... Et impossible d'y échapper. Désormais une seule chose est sûre : les sentiments qu'elle éprouve envers Liam sont si intenses et puissants que soit ils la sauveront... soit ils la perdront.

Her-Bak "disciple" de la sagesse égyptienne

Her-Bak "Pois Chiche", Her-Bak "disciple", ou la vie d'un jeune garçon de l'Egypte ancienne, à la manière d'un conte initiatique. "Le Sage eut une lueur d'ironie dans les yeux, il murmura : "Dis-moi, Her-Bak, connais-tu une mère qui puisse ne pas mourir ? Comment serait-ce possible ? Tout ce qui naît ne doit-il pas subir la mort ? C'est pourquoi une telle mère ne doit ni née, ni avoir forme corporelle ; car c'est sur le corps que la mort exerce son pouvoi. Et cette mère, nourrice de la Vie, sera nécessairement de la nature de ce qui donne la Vie, et que nous appelons âme." Le Sage émit une conclusion provisoire : "Ainsi le problème de la Vie n'est pas encore approfondi ; mais la possibilité de la Mère-qui-ne-meurt-pas l'approche de la solution, car elle te révèle le sens de la mort : cette mort n'est alors qu'un passage de l'être dans le ventre de la grande Mère Nout qui provoque toutes les transformations. Si la mort est un moment de transformation, Il doit rester, en dehors du corps inerte, quelque chose qui continue à vivre..." Le Sage rectifia : "qui est la Vie." Her-Bak s'efforçait de retenir chaque parole. Enfin, il posa "la question" : "Le problème fondamental serait donc : Qu'est-ce que la Vie? Qu'est-ce que la Vie si elle est autre chose qu'apparence passagère, maturation de semence et transition entre naissance et mort ?''"

"Pois Chiche fait le bilan de son savoir : "j'ai connu le fleuve, j'ai cultivé la terre, j'ai observé quelques bêtes, pas assez ! J'ai travaillé la pierre..."

One Artist on Five Continents

Elisabet Delbrück (1876-1967) was one of a number of Germans who came to New Zealand in the late 1930s. Unlike most, she had not intended to emigrate but was touring the country when World War II broke out. She was at first forbidden to leave and then chose to remain in Wellington. Her thirty years in Mahina Bay on Wellington harbour had a profound effect on all who knew her. This study aims to discover why she was so remarkable. It explores her early life, her marriage into a prominent German family and her qualification as an artist. She turned this into a profession, teaching and exhibiting on five continents in the 1920s and 1930s. She always travelled alone, observing the customs and beliefs of the people she met. In Australia and New Zealand in 1938 and 1939 she was wrongly suspected of spreading Nazi propaganda. Her story is also the story of a heroic group of Wellingtonians who helped her in the 1940s and valued her friendship till her death.

Arrival of Mira, Love story between Bhojan and Mira

Arrival of Mira Foreword Arrival of Mira tells the story of a beautiful young woman who held true to her faith despite many severe hardships. Mira was still only a child when she decided that Ginidhara Gopal (Lord Krishna) was her 'husband' and that she wanted to devote her life to serving and worshipping him. Later, the now orphaned Mira was married to Bhojan, the prince of Mewar and son of Rana, the king of Chittoor. Bhojan fell in love at first sight but found it hard to understand Mira's utter devotion to Ginidhara. Mira suffered at the hands of her in-laws who could not understand the depth of her love for Ginidhara and wanted her to follow their worship of Kali (in the form of Durga). Mira suffered imprisonment in a haunted palace and then exile for her beliefs. Even her friends were persecuted because of her uncompromising love for Lord Krishna. Eventually Bhojan came to understand his wife's piety. The story is told in the form of a musical play where the love story is interwoven with delightful songs and dances. The character of Mira is one to win the hearts of all who read of her. Her gentle devotion and steadfast belief are an inspiration to everyone.

Dirty Panties (English Edition)

Roxane is a young Parisian whose Bohemian life seems stuck in an endless loop of idle afternoons and wine-soaked nights with her roommate. Strapped for cash and novelty, she starts selling her used underwear online. Dirty Panties chronicles her first steps in this marketplace, from the creation of her online persona to the real-life rendezvous with shady customers. This new business soon impacts Roxane's daily life and the people around her. The world she has just stepped into might be much more bizarre than what she expected. Roxane's journey exploring her own appetite for transgression tackles such contemporary themes as sex work, consent and economic domination. How far will she go and where will this end ? Maybelline Skvortzoff's drawing is detailed and vivid and the story is in turn hilarious, awkward, touching and dark. Much like Phoebe Waller-Bridge's character in her TV series Fleabag, Roxane is at the same time completely clueless and determined to make it on her own in this world where everything can be bought and sold. Roxane vend ses culottes -- the original edition of Dirty Panties -- won the 2023 Artemisia award for best humor comic and has been shortlisted for many awards including the official selection of the 2023 Angouleme Festival.

The Artist Helen Coombe (1864–1937). The Tragedy of Roger Fry's Wife

This fascinating book presents the ? rst biography of Helen Coombe, a woman admired not only for her artistic skill, but also for her intellect, personality and wit. It reveals her family background and education, her place in the Arts and Crafts Movement and her outstanding artistic output. Helen Coombe was married to Roger Fry, an artist who was to achieve most fame as an art critic, historian and protagonist of the Bloomsbury Group. Soon after their marriage in 1896, she displayed symptoms of schizophrenia. After the ? rst episode, she temporarily resumed her career and had two children with Fry, but for the last thirty years of her life she was sectioned under the Lunacy Act and committed to an institution. This thoroughly researched book makes full use of archival material, including correspondence, diaries and medical records. It illuminates late Victorian and Edwardian society and culture. It throws new light, by no means all of it favourable, on Roger Fry. It is a 'must' for all interested in the Bloomsbury Group, art history, and the handling of mental illness at a time before ef ? cacious antipsychotic drugs were available.

Tracing the Evidence

Tracing the Evidence : Dinah in Post-Hebrew Bible Literature examines the post-biblical literary developments of Dinah, the daughter of Leah and Jacob. According to Genesis 34, Dinah was sexually violated by Shechem ; however, there are gaps in the biblical narrative and little written about what happened to her after the fateful time. Tracing the Evidence considers how post-Hebrew Bible traditions have filled in some of those gaps. Some traditions give more information about her day-to-day life, how old she was when Shechem met her, and various details about her subsequent marriage(s) and children.
