Wild by Nature
In 2010, Sarah Marquis embarked on a perilous journey: alone and on foot, she walked ten thousand miles across the Gobi Desert, from Siberia, through Thailand, to the Australian outback. Relying on hunting and her own wits, she traversed fever-haunted jungles and scorching deserts, braved harassment from drug dealers, the Mafia, and camp raids from thieves on horseback. Surviving dehydration, dengue fever delirium and crippling infection, Sarah experienced a raw and spiritual communion after three years of walking at the base of a tree in the plains of Australia. Through an inspirational journey, Wild by Nature explores what it is to adventure as a woman in the most dangerous of circumstances, and what it is to be truly alone in the wild.

Instincts
Un face-à-face avec la nature, sans réserves de nourriture ni traces d'humains à l'horizon. Juste des rivières infestées de crocodiles, des serpents, une végétation inextricable, la solitude, la faim, et surtout la soif. Elle a survécu grâce aux techniques ancestrales des aborigènes. Une aventure inoubliable dans des décors à couper le souffle, mais aussi un voyage intérieur qui lui permet de nous faire entrevoir les ressources fabuleuses que chacun de nous possède au fond de lui. Sarah ne donne ni conseils ni recettes, c'est nous qui les découvrons au fil de ses pas. Oublier la peur pour mieux évaluer le danger, accepter de revenir en arrière quand on s'est trompé de chemin, se relier à la Terre en la respectant et se fier à ses instincts... Croire à la magie de nos vies et faire de leurs zones d'inconfort des "sur-vies" où nous donnerions le meilleur de nous-mêmes.
The Crimes of Love
'Senneval, you see in me your sister, the girl you seduced at Nancy, the woman who murdered your son, the wife of your own father and the ignoble creature who sent your mother to the gallows...' Who but the Marquis de Sade would write, not of the pain, tragedy, and joy of love but of its crimes? Murder, seduction, and incest are among the cruel rewards for selfless love in his stories; tragedy, despair, and death the inevitable outcome. Sade's villains will stop at nothing to satisfy their depraved passions, and they in turn suffer under the thrall of love. Psychologically astute, and defiantly unconventional, these stories show Sade at his best. A skilled and artful storyteller, he is also ...

Déserts d'altitude
Pour Sarah Marquis, sa longue marche sur le dos de la cordillère des Andes, du Chili au Pérou, est faite de rires, de magie, de lumière indescriptible, mais aussi de luttes contre la faim, le mal d'altitude. Le condor sera son guide, le vent son ennemi, et le silence l'enveloppera dans les nuits étoilées du désert d'Atacama. Sur les sentiers capricieux, avec son sac de 30 kilos sur le dos, chaque étape est une victoire, chaque rencontre une fête. Pour Sarah, la marche et la solitude ne sont pas des fuites, mais une façon de se connecter à l'essentiel. Et son regard, si différent, nous entraîne avec elle jusqu'au merveilleux Machu Picchu où plane encore la magie de l'Empire inca. Inclus un cahier photos
