Courteplaque, c'est le papa de Marie-Edwige, qui est une fille et qui est tres chouette, comme voisine.

The New Yorker was launched in 1925, and offers reporting, criticism, essays, fiction, poetry, humour, and cartoons. From the very outset, the founders, Harold Ross and Jane Grant, declared that their sophisticated magazine was 'not edited for the old lady in Dubuque'. The New Yorker has also offered great literature in short stories from such acclaimed writers as John Cheever, Roald Dahl, Alice Munro, Haruki Murakami, Vladimir Nabokov, J. D. Salinger, and Shirley Jackson. From the very first issue, the now iconic monocled dandy Eustace Tilley made The New Yorker's covers unique and pointed. These signature traits have continued right up to the present day in the striking and sometimes controversial covers from such artists as Peter Arno, William Steig, Saul Steinberg, Jean-Jacques Sempe, and Art Spiegelman. Selected by Francoise Mouly.

Goscinny comme vous ne l’avez jamais lu ! Createur d’Asterix, d’Iznogoud et du Petit Nicolas, scenariste des meilleurs albums de Lucky Luke, redacteur en chef de de l’age d’or du magazine Pilote… Rene Goscinny est une legende de la bande dessinee et l’un des auteurs francais les plus lus au monde : l’ensemble de son ?uvre represente 500 millions d’ouvrages vendus. Mais si on le connait surtout pour ses illustres collaborations avec Uderzo, Sempe, Morris, Tabary ou Gotlib, on ignore que, durant sa prolifique carriere, celui-ci a egalement ecrit quantite de scenarios pour d’autres noms tout aussi prestigieux (Jean Giraud, Cabu, Claire Bretecher, Greg, Jean-Claude Mezieres…), voire lui-meme dessine ! Ces histoires courtes, fruit de collaborations ponctuelles et ephemeres et pour la plupart publiees dans Pilote, n’ont malheureusement jamais connu d’existence en album. Une faute que le present ouvrage repare en reunissant une selection de ces « introuvables », rendant ainsi un hommage original et bien merite au plus grand createur de l’histoire de la bande dessinee.

A director makes only one movie in his life. Then he breaks it into pieces and makes it again. -Jean Renoir. Jean Renoir (1894-1979) was, like his father Auguste, a virtuoso in his field. From early films such as La Fille de l`Eau and La Chienne through later masterpieces like Rules of the Game and The Grand Illusion (widely considered to be two of the greatest films ever made), Renoir forged a reputation as France`s most important filmmaker. Highly prolific (he directed over 40 films), Renoir worked in a multitude of genres, though social realism was his most powerful mode of expression. About the editor: Paul Duncan has edited 50 film books for TASCHEN, including the award-winning The Ingmar Bergman Archives, and authored Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick in the Film Series. About the author: Christopher Faulkner is professor of film studies and director of the Institute for Comparative Studies in Literature, Art and Culture at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada. He is the author of The Social Cinema of Jean Renoir and, with Olivier Curchod, of La Regle du jeu: scenario original de Jean Renoir, as well as numerous articles on Renoir and on French cinema.

Set in the Montparnasse district of Paris, the author, Jean, retraces his nocturnal footsteps around the left bank during France's period of decolonisation during the 1960's. He tries to remember what brought him into contact with a gang that frequented the hotel Unic in the area. His quest through seedy cafes and cheap hotels becomes an enquiry into a woman, Dannie, whom Jean loved and who once tried to admit to a terrible crime. Over the course of several voyages between past and present, we meet various shady characters, and discover that Dannie may have killed "someone". As his memories overlap with the discovery of an old vice squad dossier, Jean re-investigates the closed case of a crime where he could well be the last remaining witness.

This remarkable work is indispensable for artlovers of all tastes and disciplines.
