Description:
Faded Dreams is an epic autobiography by my fellow writer and good friend Carlos Rubio. Beyond being a very personal story of a young man growing up to the backdrop of this remarkable country of Cuba, there is as well a political subplot of a country that is dragged through the mud by one of the most ruthless dictators in recent world history. The people who populate his world all fantastically come alive on the pages; Carlos does so well in telling how special they were to him, and are still special today. This book now gives us a close-up, in your face look at the very human side of Cuba as seen from a young man who lived there and experienced it as could be described as its rise and fall.Carlos was sent to the United States at a young age by his parents after Castro took over. Things there only get worse. Living in the safety and prosperity of the United States as an adult, Carlos periodically looks at photographs of family and friends he was so fond of in those days before the Revolution. They…

Description:
Few people realise that Faith Faber, seemingly an accomplished doctor is really a shy and insecure person. Her lack of confidence is not helped by the fact that she lives with her critical and overbearing mother, who has never come to terms with her own divorce and who does not approve of Faith’s engagement to the gregarious Jonty.Faith is delighted to be offered a post at Teviotdale medical centre, one of the partners is on sick leave and soon she meets Pollyanna Smith, a hugely overweight young woman who yearns to be slim, something Faith can sympathise with as she herself has had a constant battle with food for most of her life. But nothing they try seems to help.... well, not Pollyanna anyway.
Will the course of love run smoothly? Will Faith accept who she really is? While her relationship explodes and she is faced with one of the biggest and most difficult diagnoses of her life, Faith discovers who her real friends are makes a huge decision of her own.

Description:
Montreal: Editions Dédicaces. Paperback. New. Qui se soucie aujourdhui de la vertu? Qui se souvient de son pouvoir fondateur des sociétés durables? Socrate amenait les Athéniens, pris dans leurs prétentions et leur immodestie, à un partage de vérité avec cette assurance du vieux sage qui ne craint plus aucune perte matérielle
Sa critique radicale du fallacieux et de labusif troublait lordre collectif médiocre de toutes les époques où les enjeux personnels et les convictions partisanes surpassent toujours lexactitude du sens collectif. Cette maïeutique Socratique résonne encore, avec peut-être même une meilleure urgence, pour nos foules actuelles illusionnées par la surenchère folle des objets et des prétextes. Lhomme postmoderne sétourdit dans ce déni du « Je ne suis que cela
».…

Description:
This book by Guy Boulianne is a collection of texts written and published on his website between the months of June 2016 and January 2017. It follows the first volume that introduced the reader to his personal quest, both spiritual and historical. From mysterious France to the origins of his family, the reader could then follow him in his discoveries which he shared without any restraint.In this new book, the author focuses on explaining the origins of his ancestors. From the Viscount of Nîmes Ursus to militia Captain Jean-Marc de Bouillanne, to Judge Paul Boyer de Bouillane, he traces the course of history and manages to link dates, places and events to make everything coherent.He now wishes to go further by using Y-DNA analysis, followed by autosomal DNA analysis, to demonstrate whether or not the Bouillanne family is blood — bound to the Planta and Planta de Wildenberg families. In fact, the two families lived in the same regions, where the Dauphiné was in France and Switzerland, they…

Description:
Selon Abraham Maslow dans "Une Théorie de la Motivation Humaine" (1943), il y a des besoins physiologiques qui sont des conditions nécessaires pour vivre sans troubles, dont l'aliment, l'air, la boisson, l'abri, le vêtement, la chaleur, le sexe et dormir.Donc, le sexe n'est pas un tabou! C'est plutôt l'élan et le soutien de l'humanité, en plus qu'il soulage l'esprit de l'homme en transe sexuel en évitant ainsi qu'il ait des troubles émotifs et de conduites sociales indésirables, tels que le rapt et l'abus sexuel quand ses pulsions sexuelles émergent farouches et sans contrôle.Le Créateur, qui savait à quoi on aurait affaire en ce qui concernait la psyché de l'homme, fit créer l'antidote pour prévenir que ses pulsions sexuelles aboutissent dans la sauvagerie. Ce fut la femme qui maîtrisa son désir sexuel fou, bien que parfois elle n'en jouisse guère.Le livre "Femme" est une reconnaissance en poésie à la demoiselle qui, étant la partenaire de la procréation, vient calmer…

Description:
Jean Pierre Makosso Muän Mâ M'kayi, dans son livre Francophonîquement vôtre, nous entraîne dans une exploration profonde de la francophonie. Il nous la fait découvrir par petites bribes, un peu comme s'il voulait garder à lui seul de petits secrets précieux…Néanmoins, quand nous le lisons et l'écoutons jusqu'au bout, nous nous rendons vite compte que l'auteur nous a tout révélé et mieux : nous a tout donné et nous sommes à cet instant mieux éduqués – Francophonîquement parlant - et encore plus amoureux de la langue française et de notre francophonie. Son recueil, qui est une belle prose-poétique, est une véritable ode à la francophonie. Ayant hérité de Mâ M'kayi sa mère l'art de conter, Makosso nous amène, à petits pas et au rythme de son tam-tam intérieur sur le chemin de la Francophonie vers son enfance, son adolescence, sa jeunesse ; un grand voyage francophone où il est le seul guide et dans lequel il nous invite à plonger comme on se plongerait dans l'eau…

Description:
Montreal: Editions Dédicaces. Paperback. New. Opaline ALLANDET est une poétesse qui se veut délicate, observatrice et créatrice des évocations multiples qui séchappent de la nature. Aurait-elle les mêmes intentions que Baudelaire ? Voire
On décèle en tous cas dans sa poésie de gracieuses pensées, ainsi que des réflexions qui vont dans le sens dune redécouverte des secrets de la nature.Des fleurs dans les ombres, voici ce quOpaline nous propose de redécouvrir. Pourquoi les poètes ne nous en parlent-ils plus ? Voici, en tous cas, une excellente occasion de sy replonger en humant les parfums qui se dégagent à la fois des vers et des ombres.Bien mieux encore, chaque vers peut être comparé à un ensemble de petites clochettes qui tintent comme les grelots de Papageno dans la Flûte enchantée. Mozart aurait…
