Dans l'univers il y a des choses inébranlables: la vie, la mort, le temps, l'espace. Pendant que certains philosophent sur le monde, d'autres l'abordent d'une manière plus naturelle et innocente. En ce qui concernait Elizabeth, ses préoccupations se résumaient à déménager dans une grande ville, entrer à la faculté et ainsi, dans le monde adulte. Elle y avait pensé mille fois et de mille façons différentes. Pourtant rien ne pouvait la préparer à ce qu'elle allait vivre ni à l'homme qu'elle allait rencontrer. Doté de grands yeux jaunes et d'une rapidité sans pareille, il ne ressemblait à aucun autre.

THE SECRET OF THIS WINTER'S TALE HIDES IN PLAIN SIGHT December 2022; Littel Wade village, Dorset.As dark nights fall, darker secrets rise....Seemingly impossible objects are discovered in a scrapyard that may be home to much more than just junk....while two friends try to unravel why their village is bereft of smiles, and how events of hundreds of years ago could change everything for one of them.Winter 1533. Thomas Cromwell, Henry VIII's chief minister, is tasked by his king with finding a garrison site in deepest Dorset. His depressing snowbound mission is unsuccessful in many ways.December, 2022. Post COVID, Littel Wade, a tiny, unwelcoming village in Dorset, remains indifferent to the festive season. But over five days, seemingly impossible objects are discovered which may have completely logical explanations or wonderfully fantastical ones.Prompted by this mysterious find, two friends try to understand why their village is so bleak, what once lay un-noticed in a nearby scrapyard, and why snow is coming...that may not be snow at all.The Littel* Tale Of Wintering is a story to be enjoyed as the nights close in, temperature drops, and both magic and reality jostle for our attention.It is a winter enigma full of drifts and shadows and a very strange December indeed. *And there is a very good reason it is spelled Littel. "The Little Tale Of Wintering" is part of Richard Easter's Snow Trilogy; three books that can be read independently but all of which share themes, characters and locations.RICHARD EASTER has been a professional writer in radio, TV and print for over 30 years. He was born in a snowstorm during a blackout by candle light, which may or may not explain why he has written his Snow Trilogy and why British Summer Time can't end too quickly for him.
Bangladesh has been shunned by tourists from the moment it was created in 1971. Henry Kissinger described it as a basketcase. Poverty and humanitarian disasters defined Bangladesh in the ensuing decades. When Rupert Grey arrived in Dhaka in 1992, a sign announced that arrivals were 'Welcome to Bangladesh before the tourists get here'. They still haven't. Grey first came to Bangladesh as a London lawyer armed with three FM2 cameras. Many journeys and 30 years later he is a photographer armed with a useful legal background. The catalysts were Chobi Mela, the festival of photography, and its founder Shahidul Alam, an acclaimed photographer, human rights activist and Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2018. This book charts Grey's love affair with Bangladesh, including an epic transcontinental journey through India to Chobi Mela in a vintage Rolls-Royce, later portrayed in the award-winning, Sharon Stone produced film Romantic Road. His photographs, mostly taken on film, speak powerfully of the cultural vitality and energy which Kissinger missed, and which inspired Grey's Homage to Bangladesh.
, Roger Bamber, for fifty years one of Britain's leading photojournalists, has poured his life's work into this unique reflection of a career that encompassed not only riots and bombings and the crazy world of rock and pop in the twentieth century but recorded with a sympathetic eye the demise of traditional British industries and the old steam railways. His graphic photographs are well known for their distinctive, often wryly humorous, style and strong visual impact and have been widely published worldwide. He was British Press Photographer of the Year, twice British News Photographer of the Year and won many awards for his features on the arts. Towards the end of his career he worked mainly for the Guardian and was happiest finding creative people with a story to tell. He preferred working outdoors, ideally within sight of the sea, and showcasing ordinary people - celebrating just how extraordinary all of us can be,
