In one of her trips back to her birth country, Magdalena finds out that her mother's childhood friend was taken to Sweden as a refugee during the Uruguayan dictatorship four decades before.

Laurence Graissac grandit aux côtés de son frère, Thierry, qui prend toujours un malin plaisir à la harceler et à l'humilier. Du pavillon sinistre de son enfance à Saint-Flour, elle garde des blessures à vif, comme les signes d'une existence balayée par le destin. Mais Laurence a bien l'intention de devenir la femme qu'elle ne s'est jamais autorisée à être, quel qu'en soit le prix à payer. Le jour où le discret docteur Bashert, en proie à une addiction au jeu, croise sa route, la donne pourrait enfin changer.

The Praxis of Seth is 18 hours in the life of technical writer who is suddenly immersed in a bundle of crimes which vanish upon inspection but for which he is hounded by authorities who have no legal authority but not by legal authorities who have authority. It’s a tale of fraud, deceit, duplicity, doublespeak, treachery, and trickery that is, in realty, not very far from the truth of what is going on in your town as you are reading this paragraph - and unusual because of the extended use of the Fourth Panel.

L'humanité entre dans une phase inédite de son évolution, tant par le nouveau regard qu'elle porte sur son passé que par ses interrogations sur son avenir. Ce double changement de perspective amorcé depuis le début du XXIe siècle est à la fois le fait des révélations apportées par de nouveaux fossiles et la paléogénétique, et de la révolution numérique en marche à l'échelle mondiale, sur fond de dégradation de la planète et d'urbanisation massive.

A trip to Havana, Cuba, otherwise known as the “City of Columns”, tops many bucket lists for good reason. The mere mention of this once-hidden gem of a city, situated on the western part of the largest Caribbean island nation, evokes the breathtaking imagery of sun-soaked streets and sprawling, golden-sand beaches surrounded by twinkling, almost impossibly crystalline waters, reminiscent of pastel sapphires.

The Wright Brothers initially underestimated the difficulties involved in flying, and they were apparently surprised by the fact that so many others were working on solving the “problem of human flight” already. Decades before their own historic plane would end up in the National Air & Space Museum, Wilbur and Orville asked the Smithsonian for reading materials and brushed up on everything from the works of their contemporaries to Leonardo Da Vinci.

Few people need to be reminded in the 21st century of the cost of European imperialism and colonization on indigenous and native cultures around the world. The increasingly controversial view of Columbus Day, still represented on the United States commemorative calendar, attests quite clearly to an ambiguous modern view of early European encounters with Native Americans. Slavery, disease, land and resource appropriation, and the rapid disintegration of indigenous societies are all characteristics of European global expansion.

Plenty of unusual characters came to the colonies to participate in the war, with many sporting dubious titles such as the Baron de Kalb, but perhaps none arrived in a more unique way than John Paul Jones...and his aggression became the stuff of legend.
