“The Wind in the Willows” meets “The Hobbit”... I discovered this timeless British classic when I started here as a bookseller and wondered how it could have been ignored by French publishers… It contains everything: adventure-friendship-treason-courage-curiosity. A beautiful tale of survival and hope that resonate strangely those days. From 10 to 99 !!! (Sylvie G.)

Hedgehogs are obstinate, foxes adapt. From the struggle between Xerxes and Themistocles to Roosevelt and Stalin, the author analyzes over 2000 years of grand strategy through a captivating animal metaphor.

A new approach to the Russian Revolution by one of the main historians of the subject. Robert Service tries to explain the outbreak of the revolution from the effects caused by the First World War and until the death of Lenin, when in some way it is considered that the Bolshevik power is established. A very important contribution about the period. (Abel)

The author of the book that transformed the explanation of the First World War and its causes, The sleepwalkers, now tells us about the most forgotten revolutionary period in the history of Europe, the revolts of 1848.
A choral episode that Clark with its extensive knowledge connects and resizes, making us see how it decisively affects all the countries of the continent. (Abel) -

This political memoir by Rory Stewart is an account of his ten years as a Tory MP but also a portrait of a nation in decline. Like his previous books ( read the superb The Places in Between, narrating Stewart's walk across Afghanistan in 2002), Politics On the Edge is brilliant : smart, informative and funny.
I also highly recommend (if you haven't listened to it yet !) the political podcast The Rest is Politics, hosted by Rory Stewart and Alastair Campbell : it is excellent ! (Marianne) -

The author of SPQR offers us another great book about the Roman Empire, this time focused on the functioning of power and political life. Beard is surely the best current popularizer of the classical world and this book will be from now on the essential reference on the subject. (Abel)

David Mitchell walks us through the history of England's king and queens with his signature wit and cynicism, debunking the myths surrouding the monarchy and many of its notable - often rather embellished - characters.
Illuminating and hilarious!
