David Almond (Je m’appelle Mina), Tracy Chevalier (La jeune fille à la perle), Timothée de Fombelle (Le livre de Perle), Michael Morpurgo (Cheval de Guerre)... Les plus grandes signatures de la littérature racontent la Première Guerre mondiale à partir d’objets emblématiques. Un superbe recueil contenant des nouvelles écrites par onze écrivains célébrés partout dans le monde : Timothée de Fombelle, Michael Morpurgo, Tracy Chevalier rendent hommage aux héros les plus ordinaires. Un soldat de plomb, un plat à beurre, une boussole... Des objets du quotidien. Pourtant, aux yeux de nos auteurs, ces artefacts touchent au cœur des vies humaines pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Chaque auteur de ce recueil a été enjoint de choisir un objet qui avait un lien avec la guerre – une croix de Victoria pour Timothée de Fombelle, un kit d’écriture pour David Almond, un casque pour Michael Morpurgo – et de s’en servir comme inspiration pour une nouvelle originale. Le résultat : un recueil extraordinaire, illustré par Jim Kay (Quelques minutes après minuit), avec des photographies des objets qui ont inspiré les nouvelles.

The Simple Science of Being is a powerful tool that anyone can use to achieve incredible results effortlessly. Unlike the hundreds of popular self-improvement books, the Simple Science of Being does not suggest a list of things to do. Instead, it exposes the mechanism that drives us, and provides us with a powerful tool to create any results for ourselves. It can be applied to improve communication, increase personal effectiveness, solve problems and alter unbreakable habits. It is especially recommended to all past graduates of Life Spring, Life Dynamics, AsiaWorks, est Training, the Landmark Forum or other similar trainings. This book is also useful to those who have not participated in any of those courses before. However, a little coaching along way is probably required to clear things up.
