Les possibles
Juliane n’aime pas les surprises. Quand son père fantasque vient s’installer chez elle, à la suite de l’incendie de sa maison, son quotidien parfaitement huilé connaît quelques turbulences. Jean dépense sa retraite au téléachat, écoute du hard rock à fond, tapisse les murs de posters d'Indiens, égare ses affaires, cherche son chemin. Juliane veut croire que l’originalité de son père s’est épanouie avec l’âge, mais elle doit se rendre à l’évidence : il déraille. Face aux lendemains qui s'évaporent, elle va apprendre à découvrir l'homme sous le costume de père, ses valeurs, ses failles, et surtout ses rêves. Tant que la partie n'est pas finie, il est encore l'heure de tous les possibles. Avec un humour jubilatoire et une infinie tendresse, Virginie Grimaldi nous conte une magnifique histoire de transmission et de résilience.
Mittwoch ist ein Tag zum Tanzen
Lebe nach deiner eigenen Melodie Julia rennt nicht weg. Zumindest nicht so richtig. Aber sie braucht dringend eine Auszeit von ihrem Leben, und da fühlt sich das Angebot aus Biarritz an wie eine Rettungsleine. Hals über Kopf zieht sie an die Atlantikküste, wo sie als Psychologin den Bewohnern eines Seniorenheims zur Seite stehen soll. Eigentlich hat Julia mit alten Leuten wenig am Hut, doch schnell merkt sie, dass sich hinter den eleganten Türen der Seniorenresidenz mehr verbirgt, als sie auf den ersten Blick geahnt hat: gebrochene Herzen, lange gehütete Geheimnisse und unbändige Lebensfreude, wie sie ihr noch nie begegnet ist. Kann Julia alles, was sie sucht, tatsächlich dort finden, wo sie es am wenigsten vermutet?
Summer of Caprice
Vladislav Vancura's Summer of Caprice is commonly considered untranslatable. The playful style of the narrative, the level of language mastering and also the development of the metatextual context of the last 80 years together form this unmistakable classic of Czech literature. Looking from this perspective our English edition is an experiment, thanks to the translation by Mark Corner on one side which inevitably - as every other translation - is an interpretation, and the original illustrations by Jiri Grus and the typography by Zdenek Ziegler on the other side. However, it is an experiment aiming to present an understanding of Czech spirit, humour and way of life.
Chère Mamie, tu vas rire...
Ce matin, la maîtresse nous a emmenés au musée à Bordeaux. C’était génial, enfin pas les peintures moches, mais de prendre le bus. Il y avait un cendrier argenté accroché au siège, et dedans j’ai trouvé un chewing-gum usagé. Je ne sais pas ce qui m’a pris, je l’ai attrapé et j’ai commencé à le malaxer comme de la pâte à modeler. J’ai fait une boule, un serpent, un coeur, puis j’ai fini par un chapeau. Un tout petit mignon chapeau vert. Ah ça, tu m’aurais vue, j’étais fière de moi avec mon tout petit mignon chapeau vert posé sur ma tête. Tu le savais, toi, que le seul moyen d’enlever le chewing-gum sur les cheveux, c’est de les couper ? Papa dit que je ressemble à un playmobil. Gros bisous à toi et à papy.
