Dossier pédagogique de Pauline Durand-Aliker. À Ille, une magnifique et inquiétante statue de Vénus est découverte en déracinant un olivier mort. Quelques jours plus tard, alors que M. Alphonse et Mlle de Puygarrig sont sur le point de célébrer leurs noces, le futur marié passe la bague destinée à sa fiancée au doigt de la statue, afin de pouvoir jouer librement au jeu de paume.

"[Biography of the] celebrated organizer and agitator, the very soul of protest movements in the early twentieth century."--Jacket.
A riveting and powerful story of a runaway girl lured into prostitution in New York City, perfect for fans of Ellen Hopkins and Patricia McCormick. What do you do if you're in trouble? When Michelle runs away from her drug-addicted mother, she has just enough money to make it to New York City, where she hopes to move in with a friend. But once she arrives at the bustling Port Authority, she is confronted with the terrifying truth: She is alone and out of options. Then she meets Devon, a good-looking, well-dressed guy who emerges from the crowd armed with a kind smile, a place for her to stay, and eyes that seem to understand exactly how she feels. But Devon is not who he seems to be, and soon Michelle finds herself engulfed in the world of child prostitution, where he becomes her "Daddy" and she is his "Little Peach." It is a world of impossible choices, where the line between love and abuse, captor and savior, is blurred beyond recognition. This hauntingly vivid story illustrates the human spirit's indomitable search for home and one girl's struggle to survive.

This is the ‘Whole-World’, which includes not only these objective phenomena but also our consciousness of them. Our personal identities are not fixed and self-sufficient but formed in ‘Relation’ through our contacts with others. Glissant constantly stress...
