In these audiobooks, Johnny exposes the truth about not only how he thwarted a Russian assassination and a series of bombings in the UK but also how he solved the infamous "Mixed Doner Murders" case. We learn not only how Johnny operates behind the scenes in his fight against evil but also about his "philosophy" and the "ethical" code by which he lives. We are reminded that Johnny is one of the great "thinkers" of our times, and that the philosophy which he espouses transcends the limits of time being applicable to all in all eras.

This is a hilarious book of absolutely useless advice. It will make you laugh out loud. It is packed with jokes and one-liners pretending to be serious advice. It parodies self-help books. It will appeal to kids and people with a juvenile sense of humour.

Dès la première lecture, ce poème nous a rappelé le thème de la course à cheval dans la Mu'allaqa, la poésie du désert préislamique : la grande course folle, la chevauchée épique, la vie qui défile au fil du pas de l'animal… Un pas encore et l'enfant grandit, rempli des souvenirs de ces courses sauvages. La course à cheval convoque le souvenir du jeu, quand on était petit.es.

À partir de monotypes peints par Zeynep Perinçek (Alifbata, Couleurs), Raphaële Frier a composé un poème de tous ces arbres qui comptent et ont compté dans notre vie : Le premier, je l'ai rencontré dans un parc de mon quartier. Il lisait par-dessus mon épaule. C'est derrière le cinquième que l'on s'était cachés pour s'embrasser. J'ai mangé les cerises du septième, les poires du huitième, les figues du neuvième. Jusqu'au dernier, qu'elle a planté. Traduit en arabe par Georges Daaboul.

Notre maison est pleine de boîtes magiques cachées dans des boîtes magiques sous le lit de la chambre à coucher. Notre maison est pleine d'escaliers et des pentes, tout au long de la journée, on monte, on descend, on monte, on descend, sans autre but que de descendre et monter. Pleine de meubles anciens magnifiques qui sentent la maison de grand-mère… Notre maison est pleine d'humour et de joie, avec lesquels Walid Taher poursuit sa réflexion sur la manière d'évoquer l'intérieur des êtres en images et en mots.

El amor algunas veces es tan complicado como impredecible. Pero al final lo que más valoramos son los detalles más simples, los más bonitos, los que llegan sin avisar. Y a la hora de escribir sobre sentimientos, no hay nada más limpio que hacerlo desde el corazón. Y eso hace Defreds en "Casi sin querer".

Primero de poeta son todos los papeles que rellené y quemé, todos los pasos que no di, las vidas que perdí. Todas las declaraciones de amor que callé, los sueños que rompí, los miedos de los que aprendí. Es mi impaciencia, mis ganas de sentir y el pánico. Es descubrir que mis miedos siempre ganan la partida. Es empujarte a que te vayas por si te acercas demasiado. Es querer que te acerques demasiado. Primero de poeta son todos mis errores. Y mi cura.

Two old poems of exciting events for the children in all of us.... Paul Revere's exciting midnight ride to warn all the neighbors in the countryside that the British were coming - one light if by land and two if by sea. And The Pied Piper of Hamelin.... He got rid of the pesky, hated rats, but when the villagers refused to pay for his services, the Pied Piper took matters into his own hands...and the villagers paid a very dear price, indeed, in the end.
