The Despair of Monkeys and Other Trifles
“I was for a very long time passionately in love with her, as I’m sure she’s guessed. Every male in the world, and a number of females also were, and we all still are.” —David Bowie “Françoise was the ultimate pin-up of most hip bedroom walls, and I know for a fact that Brian Jones and Mick Jagger, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and many other pop stars were desperately interested in having Françoise Hardy become their girlfriend in some way.” —Malcolm McLaren Françoise Hardy is best known in Europe for originating the famed “Yé-Yé” sound in pop music which began a cultural scene in the early 1960s. Her teenage success grew as she became a much-photographed fashion mod...

Françoise Hardy
"L'amour fou a inspiré toutes mes chansons." Françoise Hardy a traversé les générations avec élégance. En 1962, à 18 ans, elle devient star en quelques mois, chantant de sa voix douce la difficulté d'aimer, tandis que les icônes du rock (Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Bob Dylan) succombent tour à tour à son charme. Bientôt, ses chansons sont reprises dans le monde entier. A cette époque, le photographe Jean-Marie Périer occupe toutes ses pensées. Amour sublimé, unique, exclusif. Quelques années plus tard, l'égérie longiligne des sixties formera un couple mythique avec Jacques Dutronc. Et connaîtra d'autres idylles... tumultueuses. De la toute jeune fille qui composait des mélodies dans sa chambre du quartier de la Trinité à la femme mûre adressant des "messages personnels" poignants dans ses récits autobiographiques, Frédéric Quinonero retrace le parcours d'une personnalité qui, par l'écriture et le chant, a tenté d'élucider le mystère de la relation entre un homme et une femme. Avec une grâce exigeante, elle a construit une oeuvre cohérente, mêlant l'intime à l'universel. Françoise Hardy, une icône qui s'ignore ?

Celebrity Surgeon
Dr Chris Barnard caused a world sensation in December 1967 by performing the first human heart transplant, transforming him overnight from an unknown surgeon into a household name. Although he wrote a number of books about himself, and his first wife, Louwtjie, wrote a book in reply to one of them, there has never been a full scale, objective biography of the man named by Time Magazine as one of only two South Africans on a list of people who had changed the world - the other being Nelson Mandela. The author covers Barnard's boyhood in Beaufort West, his medical training, his marriage to Louwtjie and his first fulltime job, to his becoming a surgeon, and finally succeeding in a human transplant. He discusses how Barnard became transformed into a social butterfly, wearing Italian suits and having affairs with celebrities such as Gina Lollobrigida and Francoise Hardy, resulting in his divorce from Louwtjie. He then fell in love with and married a 19-year-old model, Barbara Zoellner. We see how he collaborated with Eschel Rhoodie's Department of Information; a period about which Logan has uncovered previously unpublished details.
An Anthology of French and Francophone Singers from A to Z
Every musical form has had an impact on the linguistic practices of our society. French song is a vector of cultural, social, and stylistic values. Throughout the world, songs in the French language are used in the teaching of French: professors incorporate songs into the curriculum in order to illustrate differences of register and linguistic variation, as well as to raise lexical or grammatical questions. As a form of popular expression, song is a genre that has, in recent years, become the focus of serious academic scholarship and criticism. However, few linguists have paid attention to French song and its linguistic uses. This richly illustrated mini-dictionary about French singers fills...
