'Gripping' Economist 'Jaw-dropping' Sunday Times 'Riveting' Financial Times 'Fascinating' ReutersWe are entering an age of energy crises and food shortages.

You've probably never heard of them.

Un monde à vendre. La saga des traders de matières premières
Depuis des décennies, une poignée de traders de matières premières règne dans l’ombre sur l’économie mondiale. Inconnus du grand public, ils négocient quotidiennement des milliards de dollars de pétrole, de métaux et de céréales et façonnent les équilibres économiques et politiques. Pour développer leurs affaires, ils n’hésitent pas à soutenir des dictatures, à se rendre sur les théâtres de guerre et à contourner les sanctions internationales. Lorsque les États et les sociétés établies reculent, les traders, eux, avancent. Qui sont ces marchands du XXIe siècle ? Comment opèrent-ils depuis des bureaux discrets à Genève, Londres ou Singapour ? Et pourquoi leur pouvoir, aussi immense que méconnu, nous concerne-t-il tous ? Fruit d’une longue enquête, nourrie de témoignages inédits et de documents confidentiels, Un monde à vendre révèle les coulisses d’un capitalisme sans frontières, où tout – absolument tout – peut s’acheter. Et se vendre.En stockCOMMANDER22,90 € -

Ce qu'ici-bas nous sommes
Qui peut jurer de ne pas inventer, au moins en partie, ses souvenirs ? Certainement pas Augustin Harbour. Quarante ans plus tôt, errant dans le désert du sud libyen, il est tombé sur une mystérieuse oasis : Zind?n. On y arrive de n'importe où, de n'importe quand, mais personne, ni aucun des autres voyageurs échoués là, ne sait comment en repartir. C'est que Hadj Hassan, Dieu lui-même, y vit, en compagnie de son envoûtante vestale, Maruschka Matlich. Réfugié dans une clinique de luxe, sur les rives du lac Calafquén au Chili, carnets de croquis et annotations à l'appui, Augustin dresse l'inventaire de cette extravagante épopée, des habitants et de leurs moeurs étranges ? tabous alimentaires, pratiques sexuelles, objets sacrés et autres signes parleurs ? qui prend vite des allures de fantasmagorie. Présent et imaginaire se mêlent, comme pour une dangereuse immersion au coeur des ténèbres. Délirante invention d'un esprit malade ou intuition géniale d'un entendement hors du commun, le récit prodigieux et débridé d'Augustin nous emmène aux confins inexplorés de la folie. On retrouve dans ce roman phénoménal toute la fantaisie, l'humour, la virtuosité et l'érudition de l'auteur de Là où les tigres sont chez eux. Et un fameux coup de crayon !Sur commande en 2-4 joursCOMMANDER21,00 €

The Godfather
The story of Don Vito Corleone, the head of a New York Mafia family, inspired some of the most successful movies ever. It is in Mario Puzo's The Godfather that Corleone first appears. As Corleone's desperate struggle to control the Mafia underworld unfolds, so does the story of his family. The novel is full of exquisitely detailed characters who, despite leading unconventional lifestyles within a notorious crime family, experience the triumphs and failures of the human condition. Filled with the requisite valor, love, and rancor of a great epic, The Godfather is the definitive gangster novel.En stockCOMMANDER14,00 € -
