Fault lines by
Nancy Huston(
Book
)
104 editions published between 2005 and 2017 in 13 languages and held by 2,127 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Fault Lines begins with Sol, a gifted, terrifying child whose mother believes he is destined for greatness partly because he has a birthmark like his dad, his grandmother, and his great-grandmother. When Sol's family makes an unexpected trip to Germany, secrets begin to emerge about their history during World War II. It seems birthmarks are not all that's been passed down through the bloodlines. Closely observed, lyrically told, and epic in scope, Fault Lines is a touching, fearless, and unusual novel about four generations of children and their parents. The story moves from the West Coast of the United States to the East, from Haifa to Toronto to Munich, as secrets unwind back through time until a devastating truth about the family's origins is reached

She specializes in infrared techniques that expose her pictures' otherwise hidden landscapes and capture the raw essence of deeply private moments in the lives of her subjects. Away from her lover, and stuck in Florence, Italy, with her infuriating stepmother and her aging, unwell father, Rena confronts not only the masterpieces of the Renaissance but the banal inconveniences of a family holiday. At the same time, she finds herself traveling into dark and passionate memories that will lead to disturbing revelations."--Page 4 de la couverture

The little book of atheist spirituality by
André Comte-Sponville(
Book
)
2 editions published between 2007 and 2008 in English and held by 625 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Can we do without religion? Can we have ethics without God? Is there such a thing as "atheist spirituality"? In this powerful book, the internationally best selling author André Comte-Sponville answers questions like these through a philosophical exploration of atheism--and he comes to some startling conclusions. According to Comte-Sponville, we have allowed the concept of spirituality to become intertwined with religion and thus have lost touch with the nature of a true spiritual existence. In order to change this, however, we need not reject the ancient traditions and values that are part of our heritage; rather, we must rethink our relationship to these values and ask ourselves whether their significance comes from the existence of a higher power or simply from the human need to connect to one another and the universe. Comte-Sponville offers rigorous, reasoned arguments that take both Eastern and Western philosophical traditions into account, and he uses his personal experience as a child raised in the Catholic church as an illuminating example of the loss of faith in God but not spirituality. Through his clear, concise, and often humorous prose, he offers a convincing treatise on a new form of spiritual life." -- Publisher's description

D'après Stella, on sait qu'on commence à vieillir quand les gens cessent de vous traiter "d'épatante" et se mettent à vous traiter de "brave" ou de "pétillante"..

Combien d'hommes ont rendu visite à mon corps ?" Une Américaine, écrivain, décide de retracer le parcours de jumeaux orphelins nés au XVIIIe siècle.

Black dance by

9 editions published in 2014 in English and held by 294 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Screenwriter Milo Noirlac is dying. As he lies in the dark of his hospital bed, voices from Milo's past and present--real and imagined--swirl about his head, each taking on the rhythm of his favorite Brazilian fight-dance, the capoiera. Seated next to him, Milo's partner, bumptious director Paul Schwartz, coaxes Milo through his life story, from the abuse he suffered as a foster child to his lost heritage--his beloved grandfather's priceless library. As Milo narrates, his story becomes the pair's final screenplay, the movie that will be their masterpiece. With Milo's imagination in full flight, several generations of Noirlac ancestors--voices in French and English, German and Dutch, Cree and Gaelic--come to life. There's Neil Kerrigan, his Irish grandfather, classmate of 'Jimmy' Joyce, would-be poet and aspiring activist in the fight against British occupation, crushed by his exile in Quebec; Awinita, Milo's biological mother, an Indian teen prostitute; Eugénio, a street child whom Milo finds and fosters; and Marie-Thérèse, Milo's tough-as-nails aunt. As each voice cascades through Milo's memory, an important piece of family, and world, history is formed."--

"Sur un lit d'hôpital, Milo s'éteint lentement. À son chevet, le réalisateur new-yorkais Paul Schwarz rêve d'un ultime projet commun : un film qu'ils écriraient ensemble à partir de l'incroyable parcours de Milo. Dans un grand mouvement musical pour chanter ses origines d'abord effacées puis peu à peu recomposées, ce film suivrait trois lignes de vie qui, traversant guerres et exils, invasions et résistances, nous plongeraient dans la tension insoluble entre le Vieux et le Nouveau Monde, le besoin de transmission et le rêve de recommencement. Du début du XXe siècle à nos jours, de l'Irlande au Canada, de la chambre sordide d'une prostituée indienne aux rythmes lancinants de la capoeira brésilienne, d'un hôpital catholique québécois aux soirées prestigieuses de New York, cette histoire d'amour et de renoncement est habitée d'un bout à l'autre par le bruissement des langues et l'engagement des coeurs. Film ou roman, roman d'un film, Danse noire est l'oeuvre totale, libre et accomplie d'une romancière au sommet de son art."--Page 4 of cover

Book
)
23 editions published between 2012 and 2013 in French and Spanish and held by 197 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Un dogme ressassé à l'envi clans la France contemporaine : toutes les différences entre les sexes sont socialement construites. Pourtant les humains sont programmés pour se reproduire comme tous les autres mammifères, drague et coquetterie étaient originellement liées à la perpétuation de l'espèce. Partant de ce constat simple mais devenu anathème, Nancy Huston explore les tensions contradictoires introduites clans la sexualité en Occident par deux phénomènes modernes : la photographie et le féminisme. Dans ce livre sensible et vibrant d'actualité, puissant et brillamment dérangeant, sur un ton personnel, drôle et pourtant informé, évoquant sans détours sa propre expérience comme celle des hommes qui l'entourent, Nancy Huston parvient à nous démontrer l'étrangeté de notre propre société, qui nie tranquillement la différence des sexes tout en l'exacerbant à travers les industries de la beauté et de la pornographie

Sol is a highly gifted six-year-old; his adoring mother believes he is destined for greatness. Yet he is also unsettling, chillingly un-childlike. He bears the same birthmark as his father, grandmoth- er and great-grandmother had before him. When Sol and his family make an unexpected trip to Germany, terrible secrets start to emerge. Narrated by children in each generation of the family, "Fault Lines" traces their history back through the years, from California to New York, from Haifa to Toronto and Munich. As dormant family secrets are awakened, shock waves reverberate from a hidden past into a fragile present. Domestic in focus and epic in scope, "Fault Lines" is a vibrant, richly drawn and captivating piece of storytelling. It shows what can happen when past and present collide. Birthmarks are not all that can be passed down through a family line
