Vous ne la connaissez pas, pourtant elle a tenu le monde entre ses mains. Au lendemain de la Première Guerre mondiale, Gertrude Bell a dessiné les frontière de l'Orient, dans ce désert sauvage où tout a commencé : le pays entre deux fleuves, le Tigre et l'Euphrate.
Aventurière, archéologue, espionne, parlant l'arabe et le persan, elle fut la première femme puissante de l'Empire britannique, mais aussi une héroïne tragique. Idéaliste comme son ami et frère d'âme Lawrence d'Arabie. Impérialiste et courageuse comme le jeune Winston Churchill. Enfant aimée et incomprise d'une riche famille victorienne. Amoureuse éperdue. Et une énigme pour nous : celle des femmes que l'Histoire a effacées.
Olivier Guez lui rend sa gloire et nous offre une épopée flamboyante : de la découverte de gigantesques gisements pétroliers aux jeux de pouvoir cruels entre Britanniques, Français et Allemands, des négociations sous les tentes bédouines aux sables de Bagdad où se perdent nos rêves.
Le roman de Gertrude Bell dessine la vaste freque de la première mondialisation, quand le plus grand empire de tous les temps s'approprie une contrée mythique et maudite, terre d'Abraham, du déluge et de Babel, tombeau d'Alexandre le Grand : la Mésopotamie. -

«Le premier soir, je me suis donc endormi sur le sable à mille milles de toute terre habitée. J'étais bien plus isolé qu'un naufragé sur un radeau au milieu de l'océan. Alors, vous imaginez ma surprise, au lever du jour, quand une drôle de petite voix m'a réveillé. Elle disait : "S'il vous plaît...dessine-moi un mouton !" J'ai bien regardé. Et j'ai vu ce petit bonhomme tout à fait extraordinaire qui me considérait gravement...» La version originale du chef-d'oeuvre de Saint-Exupéry, suivie d'un cahier spécial pour aller à la rencontre de l'auteur.

TIKTOK BOOK AWARDS WINNER 2023
“Nearly everything I know about love, I've learnt from my long-term friendships with women.”
I know that love can be loud and jubilant. It can be dancing in the swampy mud and the pouring rain at a festival and shouting “YOU ARE AMAZING” over the band. It’s laughing until you wheeze. It’s walking along the street together on a Saturday night and feeling an entire city is yours.
I also know that love is a pretty quiet thing. It’s lying on the sofa together drinking coffee, talking about where you’re going to go that morning to drink more coffee. It’s folding down pages of books you think they’d find interesting.
I know that love happens under the splendour of fireworks and sunsets, but also happens when you’re lying on blow-up airbeds in a childhood bedroom, sitting in A&E or in the queue for a passport.
Everything I Know About Love is a celebration of our female friendships, of our messy years, and of growing up together. Glittering with wit, heart, and humour, it’s a book to share with every woman you’ve ever been lucky enough to call a friend.

Exploring the visceral reality of life in the American South as well as Baldwin’s impressions of London, Paris and Hamburg, No Name in the Street grapples with the failed promises of global liberation movements in fearless, candid prose.
Timeless, tender and profound, Baldwin’s searing narrative contains the multiplicities of what it means to be Black in America and, indeed, around the world.
