Le hasard de la vie va les amener à correspondre par lettres. Ces lettres échangées vont très vite mêler leurs recherches historiques au ton de l'épanchement et de la confidence.

Persuadés d'avoir un point commun qu'ils ignorent...
2059, le plateau volcanique et granitique du Massif Central regagne en vie, au son de quelques oiseaux survivants et d’une fillette cueillant des plantes. Depuis la disparition de ses parents, Anastasie y vit seule avec son grand-père. Une lettre parvient à la longère : la maman d’Anastasie serait vivante, captive dans la région du littoral méditerranéen. La fillette dit alors être prête à tout pour partir retrouver ses parents. Un dilemme s’installe pour le papy car le pays reste instable et potentiellement violent. Pour elle, ce serait un voyage périlleux mais aussi initiatique, porté par l’amour pour ses parents. Ce roman est une anticipation sociale qui n’éclipse pas la lumière qui veille en nous, qui explore la force des liens entre personnes bienveillantes. Si l’expression latine la plus connue est l’Ordo Ab Chao (l’ordre à partir du chaos), nous sommes plongés ici dans une société effondrée, une dystopie où l’ordre en serait une cause : l’Ordo Ad Chao.
Un'esperienza divisa tra la scoperta del destino e la ricerca dell'essenza dell'uomo. Un viaggio tra i vizi e i giudizi della società. Dio e Diavolo "sono le due facce della stessa medaglia. Non puoi accettare l'esistenza di uno ed asserire l'inesistenza dell'altro solo per paura di tradire uno dei due. Forse insieme si confessano e si accordano". Le dicotomie tra Dio e Diavolo, materialismo e spiritualità, odio e amore, bene e male, amore divino e amore infernale sono gli elementi di studio oggetto di questo romanzo in cui le storie diverse dei personaggi finiscono per intersecarsi e affluire nel grande fiume per arrivare alla foce, il destino. Una riflessione su cosa sia e dove ci porti il fato se esso viene messo di fronte al libero arbitrio, accompagnata dai quesiti su chi sia il messia e quale messaggio ha l'onere di consegnare ai posteri.
Islamic religion has become an object of political discourse in ways that also affects academic reflection; against this background this volume aims to provide a theoretically and empirically founded assessment of where social sciences currently stand with regard to Islam. For this purpose, the volume continues to develop the sociological knowledge of Islam that began in the 1980s. Given the Orientalism inherent in sociology, the volume focuses on Muslim knowledge systems and institutions, as well as the practice of Muslim religiosity in various social contexts stretching from Algeria and Morocco to Turkey.
Popular culture has reimagined death as entertainment and monsters as heroes, reflecting a profound contempt for the human race
This work tells the story of the Catholic Church's confrontation with communism, from the French Revolution onwards, but with particular emphasis on the post-War period. It sets out new evidence of how successive Popes unwittingly helped communism expand. Interwoven with this narrative is the life-story of Karol Woytyla, who as Pope John Paul II is the first Eastern European Pope to sit on the throne of Peter.
