An Impatient Life
A philosopher and activist, eager to live according to ideals forged in study and discussion, Daniel Bensad was a man deeply entrenched in both the French and the international left. Raised in a staunchly red neighbourhood of Toulouse, where his family owned a bistro, he grew to be France's leading Marxist public intellectual, much in demand on talk shows and in the press. A lyrical essayist and powerful public speaker, at his best expounding large ideas to crowds of students and workers, he was a founder member of the Ligue Communiste and thrived at the heart of a resurgent far left in the 1960s, which nurtured many of the leading figures of today's French establishment. The path from the joyous explosion of May 1968, through the painful experience of defeat in Latin America and the world-shaking collapse of the USSR, to the neoliberal world of today, dominated as it is by global finance, is narrated in An Impatient Life with Bensad's characteristic elegance of phrase and clarity of vision. His memoir relates a life of ideological and practical struggle, a never-resting endeavour to comprehend the workings of capitalism in the pursuit of revolution.

L'adolescence volée
" Je travaille avec des adolescents parce qu'on m'a volé mon adolescence. " Dans ce livre autobiographique qui mêle l'humour à l'horreur, Stanislas Tomkiewicz retrace l'itinéraire qui conduira le jeune garçon né juif et polonais à devenir un spécialiste mondial des troubles juvéniles. Il connaît la tentation du suicide dans le ghetto de Varsovie, non loin de la " place des transferts " en direction de Treblinka et Maïdanek. Fuite, clandestinité, internement à Bergen-Belsen, puis la longue convalescence d'après-guerre entre hôpitaux et sanatorium orientent peu à peu sa vocation originelle pour la médecine vers la psychiatrie et la pédiatrie. Il nous aide à comprendre, à travers son expérience personnelle et sa pratique de psychiatre, comment il est possible de réconcilier les adolescents avec la vie.
