<b>Nebula and Locus Award Winner!<br><br>Hugo Award Nominee<br><br>An NPR, <i>Washington Post</i>, Book Riot, <i>Library Journal</i> and Audible Best Book of 2024!<br><br>"This novel is monstrously perfect, in every way" —P. Djèlí Clark for <i>The New York Times</i></b><br><br>“This <b>unusual queer romance is a heartfelt fable</b> about disability and the possibility of reconciling conflicting needs through love and understanding.” —<i>The Guardian </i><br><br>"<b>Sweetly furious, darkly funny, and gruesomely wholesome</b>. It's a love story for the unloved, a happily-ever-after with a higher-than-average body count. I just adored it." —Alix E. Harrow, <i>New York Times</i>-bestselling author of <i>Starling House</i><br><br><b>Shesheshen has made a mistake fatal to all monsters: she's fallen in love.</b><br><br>Shesheshen is a shapeshifter, who happily resides as an amorphous lump at the bottom of a ruined manor. When her rest is interrupted by impolite monster hunters, she constructs a body from the remains of past meals: a metal chain for a backbone, borrowed bones for limbs, and a bear trap as an extra mouth. <br><br>Badly hurt by the hunters, Shesheshen’s nursed back to health by Homily, a warm-hearted human. Homily is kind and would make a great co-parent: an ideal place to lay Shesheshen’s eggs so their young can devour Homily from the inside out. But as they grow close, Shesheshen realizes that eating her girlfriend isn’t an option.<br><br>Just as Shesheshen’s about to confess her identity, Homily reveals something else: she’s hunting a shapeshifting monster that supposedly cursed her family. Has Shesheshen seen it anywhere?<br><br>Shesheshen didn’t curse anyone, so now she has to figure out why Homily’s twisted family thinks she did. As Shesheshen’s hunt for the monster becomes increasingly deadly, the bigger challenge remains: learning how to build a life <i>with</i>, rather than <i>in</i>, the woman she loves.<br><br>“<b>A stealthily funny, slyly smart, and remarkably touching story</b>. Its wisdom will creep up on you as surely as your affection for its monstrous main character.”—Veronica Roth, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of <i>When Among Crows</i>

Manuel indocile de sciences sociales - Pour des savoirs résistants
COPERNIC Fondation Copernic · 2019
Product Description Les évidences et les " fatalités " constitutives de l'ordre du monde peuvent-elles être critiquées ? Tout l'empêche ! Pourtant, elles doivent l'être. Toutes. C'est l'objet de ce " livre-somme ".Ce livre alimente en indocilités, ravitaille en savoirs résistants. Sans jargon, ni dogme, ni abstraction, il fournit mille arguments contre les fausses évidences, partout répétées, qui célèbrent le marché libéré (soi-disant efficace pour tous et la planète), la mondialisation telle qu'elle est (soi-disant heureuse), les chefs de toutes sortes, le mérite scolaire, la " bonne santé " des démocraties (trop faiblement démocratiques)... Ce livre lève les silences ou les censures sur les mécanismes qui produisent, reproduisent les discriminations, les pollutions, l'exploitation au travail, la transmission des capitaux, le mépris des mondes populaires, les " racisations ", l'hétéronormalité, les souffrances animales, les nourritures qui tuent, la marchandisation, la ruine organisée des services publics, des protections sociales, et le " chacun seul " qui s'ensuit... Ce manuel indocile fourmille d'exemples issus des sciences sociales – l'histoire, l'économie, l'ethnologie, la sociologie, les sciences politiques, etc. Et montre comment l'ordre du monde que l'histoire a produit, notre histoire peut le défaire. Plus de 100 contributeurs : des sociologues, des économistes, des politistes, des historiens, des professeurs de lycée, des acteurs du mouvement social. Et plus de 100 sujets abordés, qui questionnent les " vérités " toutes faites, en montrant qui les produit, comment et pourquoi. About the Author La Fondation Copernic, créée en 1998 à Paris, est un cercle de réflexion qui se déclare critique à l'égard du libéralisme. Son " Appel fondateur " s'adresse " À toutes celles et ceux qui n'ont pas renoncé à changer le monde ". Issue du mouvement social, elle se fixe pour objectif d'informer et d'apporter un autre éclairage, notamment sur les questions sociales et économiques : réforme du droit du travail ou de la fiscalité, constitution européenne, réforme de l'assurance maladie, réforme des retraites, lois sécuritaires, école, dépendance, démantèlement des services publics ou de la médecine du travail, campagne pour l'eau publique, pour l'égalité des droits, construction européenne.

V E SCHWAB · 2018
A trade paperback repackage of New York Times bestseller V.E. Schwab's Vicious, a masterful tale of ambition, jealousy, and superpowers which will include:<br/><br/>*A new cover by Wil Staehle, cover artist of the iconic Shades of Magic trilogy covers<br/>*Schwab's Tor.com short story set within the Vicious universe, "Warm Up"<br/>*A teaser for the upcoming sequel, Vengeful<br/><br/>Victor and Eli started out as college roommates―brilliant, arrogant, lonely boys who recognized the same sharpness and ambition in each other. In their senior year, a shared research interest in adrenaline, near-death experiences, and seemingly supernatural events reveals an intriguing possibility: that under the right conditions, someone could develop extraordinary abilities. But when their thesis moves from the academic to the experimental, things go horribly wrong.<br/><br/>Ten years later, Victor breaks out of prison, determined to catch up to his old friend (now foe), aided by a young girl whose reserved nature obscures a stunning ability. Meanwhile, Eli is on a mission to eradicate every other super-powered person that he can find―aside from his sidekick, an enigmatic woman with an unbreakable will. Armed with terrible power on both sides, driven by the memory of betrayal and loss, the archnemeses have set a course for revenge―but who will be left alive at the end?<br/><br/>In Vicious, V. E. Schwab brings to life a gritty comic-book-style world in vivid prose: a world where gaining superpowers doesn't automatically lead to heroism, and a time when allegiances are called into question.<br/><br/>"A dynamic and original twist on what it means to be a hero and a villain. A killer from page one…highly recommended!" ―Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Marvel Universe vs The Avengers and Patient Zero
