Present on Frankfurt Book Fair 2015 stand of BIEF Hall 5.1 E17 A father, a mother, two children : a family. Suddenly the fourteen year old daughter loses her figure, loses weight and it’s like a movie played backwards. Soon the girl weighs no more than she did at age nine. In this narrative in the form of a diary, her mother speaks. She describes her experience year by year, accompanying her daughter. A long road from blind sorrow to a difficult search for self and love, for understanding and openness, until the girl is healed. The stubborn path to rebirth for both lasts eleven years. The author never speaks in her daughter’s place. Her testimony is a literary work, the language is poetic, even when describing horror. The book also delivers a message of hope. The author seems to be telling parents who may be confronted with this kind of ordeal, “Don’t hesitate, change, seek, do some housekeeping in your own life, you have nothing to lose, but only your child’s recovery to gain.” This new edition has a preface by psychiatrist Annick Poquet Issad. Excerpt : She hangs by a thread, at the edge of the cliff and all I can do, all I know how to do, is be there, be present. Badly, incompletely, excessively present, in the hope that I can keep her from loosing her footing, that I can restrain her, when she’s about to fall. An illusion. I know now that the struggle is hers alone. But the wolf did not devour her. She put up a good fight.

After Algerian independence she returned to Spain with her family, moving to France in 1975. She is a linguist and sociologist and founder of a language school in Lyons, France. Present on Frankfurt Book Fair 2015 stand of BIEF Hall 5.1 E17 Algiers Eldorado, Algiers an end to suffering, Algiers where nightmares cease, Algiers freedom, Algiers new hopes, Algiers a place of rebirth. When her mother spoke of Algiers it was in a sort of litany of praise and the child imagined this city like a carnival morning, colorful, festive, exuberantly cheerful. Like Polop on St Francis’ Day. Polop decked out in banners with red, yellow and white stripes. Polop deafened by fireworks exploding with their dazzling, fleeting, silvery light at every street corner, Polop entwined with music throwing people out of bed at eight in the morning, after a few wretched hours of sleep shamefully stolen from the pale, waning night. janvier2015 Excerpt : A lively, mischievous little girl with a fresh, original way of looking at things, tells the story of her family’s uprooting at the end of the Spanish Civil war. Her Loyalist father has already gone to find work in Algeria, where the rest of the family long to join him, but it won’t be easy. They have to leave Polop, their native village in eastern Spain, where everything was familiar, reassuring and relatively peaceful, to go to Algiers, big city across the sea, where everything is strange and amazing. Once arrived they search for new landmarks in a new country where people speak a new language, trying to keep their balance in the face of the unknown, and to fit in without losing their sense of their own history. A lively tale, both funny and deeply moving, the kind of story that stays with you for a long time. A life lesson, in its modest way. 9 782367 950853 Format : 14,5x21 cm Pages : 256 Prix : 15 € Fiction Key selling points : Post civil war Spain childhood exile La petite fille sous le platane The little girl under the « sycomore » catalogue 8p.qxp_Mise en page 1 22/08/15 16:15 Page4 http://www.chevre-feuille.fr /les-collections/d-un-espace,-l-autre/501-la-petite-fille-sous-le-platane.html Rosa Cortés : nacida en España reside actualmente en Francia. Vivió parte de su infancia y adolescencia en Argel (Argelia) donde sus padres se refugiaron por razones políticas y económicas en los años cincuenta. Cuando Argelia se independizó en 1962, regresó con sus padres a España. Después de cursar estudios en la Escuela Oficial de Idiomas de Madrid, volvió a Argel. Allí se matriculó en la facultad de Letras y se licenció en sociología y a la par en interpretariado.Trabajó como socióloga. En 1975 se marchó a Francia y se instaló en Lyon en donde creó Communication Internationale Langues, una academia de idiomas dedicada en exclusiva a empresas y profesionales, especializada en la comunicación y lo intercultural. Es posgraduada en Ciencias Sociales y Humanas de la Universidad de Lyon II y especialista en Sociología de la decisión . Habla español e inglés La niña debajo del plátano Argel el eldorado. Argel el fin de las privaciones. Argel el final de las pesadillas. Argel la libertad. Argel el nuevo aliento. Argel el renacimiento. Así es como hablaba de Argel la madre, con esos términos elogiosos y casi mágicos y por eso la niña se había imaginado esa ciudad como una mañana de carnaval, colorada, festiva, ardiente de alegría. Como Polop por la San Francisco. Polop vestido de banderolas abigarradas de rojo, amarillo, blanco. Polop ensordecido por los cohetes estallando en cada rincón con chispas intensas, fugaces, plateadas. Y esa gente de Polop que vergonzosamente había robado unas miserables horas de descanso a una pálida alba, se veía levantada a las ocho por la música y tirada a la calle. Tambores, flautas, trompetas resonaban clamorosos en el aire puro y fresco de la mañana para que el despertar de los trasnochadores caídos en el campo de los festejos fuera alegre e inevitable. Y los olores…Esos olores acres y persistentes de pólvora, azufre, garrapiñada, turrón que se esparcían por las calles y las casas, esos perfumes suaves de pastillas de jabón, agua de Colonia y brillantina que embrujaban el aire como si se hubieran escapado de un maravilloso jardín de flores repleto, esos olores de cera caliente, de cirios agonizantes, compañeros de las procesiones, esos olores de aceras lavadas, de sudor, de excitación que los abanicos esparcían con energía. Fragmento : En La petite fille sous le platane compartimos, a finales de los años cuarenta, la vida diaria de un pueblo alicantino, Polop de la Marina. La guerra civil ha dejado huella. Aferrarse a sobrevivir con lo poco que se posee es el horizonte de muchos. Alegría y miseria se reparten lo cotidiano. A través de la visión peculiar de una niña, traviesa e ilusa, seguimos las andanzas de una familia que, por ser el padre republicano, se ve extirpada de esas raíces rurales españolas para acabar proyectada por los caminos, inciertos y penosos, de la emigración al otro lado del Mediterráneo en la ciudad de Argel. ¿Cómo llevará la familia su integración a nuevas costumbres y desconocido idioma? Esta entrañable novela en la que se cruzan las voces de la niña y de la autora nos da una gran lección de vida y humanidad. Es un vivo homenaje a esas mujeres que no se dejan vencer por las circunstancias de la vida y pugnan para salir adelante. Emoción, humor, lirismo, corren a lo largo de las páginas hasta el esperanzador final.

In June he invites her to Saint Raphael and the inevitable occurs. Anais surrenders with passion, to her father. Everything else in her life, even Henry, seems terribly flat and dull. On his return to Paris, Antonin Artaud, before she so much as opens her mouth, read on her face « the abomination of incest. » http://chevre-feuille.fr /les-collections/d-un-espace,-l-autre/458-anais-nin-genese-et-jeunesse-2.html Sophie Taam lives in Nice.

Worked on the UNESCO, from 1966 till 1977, as director of a program for the promotion of the condition of the women of the Mediterranean Sea. This book gathers 32 writers. février2012 This book then is a voyage of initiation into the heart of the Arab Revolutions. It does not restate what has been said elsewhere about these upheavals. Rather its aim, its strength, derive from a deep exploration of the authors’ hidden, intimate, previously unadmitted thoughts. A strange and beautiful journey, with forty-one guides, into the origins, the aspirations, the meditations on self and on the world, that gave birth to these revolutions that remain, despite everything, astonishing and unprecedented.Why these very short stories ? Why ask these offbeat little tales to capture the reality of recent revolutions? Because the revolutions were the work of minor heroes, and if they came to pass it’s because they finally put man – woman – at the center of Arab evolution, replacing God and the Nation. For many of the little heroes of this book, life is just beginning, a couple make love for the first time, a man speaks his mind for the first time ever, a very old man, born during the 1919 revolution in Cairo (led by the Warf) emerges from his solitude and makes his way, in a wheelchair and wearing best suit, to Tahrir Square to join the others, in solidarity at last. rights sold : Algérie Short stories from the Arab revolutions Anthology by Wassyla Tamzali Excerpt : Format : 15x21 cm Pages : 360 Prix : 19 € Essay Key selling points : Writers' individual stories on the Arab Revolutions 9 782914 467803 catalogue 8p.qxp_Mise en page 1 22/08/15 16:15 Page7 le voile est-il islamique ?
