« A universal tale. »

Lire

An island and its community set apart from the bustle of the world. One morning, three bodies wash up on its shores. Should the locals try to find the truth?

“I conceived this book as a mystery, an oppressive fast-paced narrative, a modern epic about a community snapped out of its peaceful existence by an extraordinary event, and now having to face choices that will reveal its true character, its small-mindedness and selfishness. I wanted to revisit a novelistic style that I explored in Grey Souls and Brodeck’s Report: taking the reader on a journey, discovering a half-real half-dreamed geography, and the people who live there, playing with the codes of detective fiction, creating quaint characters who prove to be major archetypes of the human race, linking them to mythological or religious figures as a way of offering a symbolic reading of our lives and destinies to anyone ready to discover and explore it. This novel relates to our times because it touches on the tragedy of migrants who risk their lives crossing the Mediterranean, but it also invites more timeless reflection on the human condition and the decisions we make.”

Philippe Claudel is a writer and film director. His is best known for Grey Souls (2003 prix Renaudot) which has been translated into more than thirty languages; Monsieur Linh and his child (2005); Brodeck’s Report (2007 Goncourt des lycéens); The Investigation (2010); The Tree of the Toraja (2016): and Inhumaines (2017). He has directed four films: I’ve Loved you so long, which won two César Awards, Tous les soleils, Before the Winter Chill and A Childhood.

JUST A LITTLE TIME Novel May 2018 272 pages

Being a mother, a working woman, still attractive and full of smiles?

Sophie is 35, has a wonderful husband, three beautiful children and a job she loves. She’s the woman everyone else envies. And then one day, perfect Sophie disappears. Leaving only an enigmatic note, “Just a little time”, which baffles her husband Loïc. Because he’s attentive, isn’t he, loving, happy to help around the house. Could she have a lover? The children stay calm, though, confident their mother will soon be back (“I’ll always be here for you,” she tells them every evening when she puts them to bed). They make the most of the chaos to go to bed late, playing on tablets and stuffing their faces with sweets! Meanwhile, Sophie treats herself to a seaside break: for a few hours she switches off her phone and her maternal instinct, with all its attendant guilt and demands, just long enough to breathe and remember who she is. But what happens when she chances across a former lover? A novelistic approach to one of society’s big issue: mental load.

Caroline Boudet is a journalist and mother of two. Her first book, La vie réserve des surprises (Fayard, 2016), was about her younger child, Louise, who has Down’s Syndrome.

PLAY BOY On the bestseller’s charts

Novel January 2018 192 pages

“Constance Debré talks about love, as one does about sex. And about sex, as one does about love.” Le Monde des Livres

A woman who loves men…then women…

“I didn’t even dare to use my tongue the first time I kissed a girl. I made an effort with the second. I was flattered, just like any guy would be, that she was a model.” Who is talking? A man? A playboy who lines up his conquests, sometimes distant, often voracious, harsh, sensual. But this playboy is a woman. And not just any woman. She is from the bourgeoisie and the boho districts, a distinguished aristocratic girl, a beautiful married woman, a lawyer specializing in desperate cases. She is also a woman who has broken away from coupledom and destiny, who is trying but cannot find herself, who spies on and surprises herself, the daughter of wealthy parents and of drug addicts. This novel, based on reality, speaks of desire, sexuality, difference, other people and more. It wounds, it scratches and it talks of love “but perhaps I didn’t know love before”.

Constance Debré lives in Paris. She is a criminal defense lawyer. Playboy is her first novel.

MY FATHER’S WARS Short-listed for the Prix RTL-Lire

Novel / Narrative January 2018 342 pages

“This investigation manages to be at turns smooth and nervous, delicate and full of rage.”

Télérama

Colombe Schneck’s father went through the wars of the XXth century: this is the love song of a daughter, celebrating his moral legacy.

This account tells the story of a generous and smiling man, who held his head high, although he had lived through several wars before the age of 30. During WWII, he and his family narrowly escaped the Nazis. He then lost his father in tragic circumstances. Later, he took part in the Algerian war where he learned that one is always “someone else’s Jew”. For three years, Colombe Schneck led the investigation. Her rigorous work of archives revealed the complicity of the French administration in the denunciation of the Jews. But above all, she discovered what her father’s dignity was hiding: the violence, the exile, the destruction and even the shame. And she understood that his unconcerned elegance and seduction were a form of survival and resistance. When the reader closes the book, life can begin.

Throughout her works, Colombe Schneck has been connecting literature with family investigations. She published L’increvable M. Schneck (2006), with Stock, and La Reparation, with Grasset, which had significant commercial success and has been translated in several countries.

IN SEARCH OF GINKA Narrative non-fiction March 2018 224 pages

“Deeply moving”

Le JDD

Bulgarian prostitute is killed on the outskirts of Paris. Who was this very young woman on rollerblades with her private diary under her arm?

Her name is Ginka and she was 19. This book is her story. The tragic and in no way fictionalised fate of a Bulgarian prostitute whose body – with 23 knife wounds in it – was found on wasteland in Paris one autumn morning. Her clothes spattered with blood. Starting from the crime scene, the author sets out to retrace Ginka’s life. Where was she from? Who killed her? How did she end up dying like that, 2,300 km from her family? This search for truth, a non-fiction narrative with the breathless pace of a police enquiry, takes us as far as we can go into the world of prostitution. From Bulgaria to France and Belgium to Albania, Philippe Broussard tracks down witnesses, photographs of the victim, her private diaries and her address book. He gradually brings back to life this young nobody who was mother to a little girl.

Philippe Broussard, 54, is a journalist and associate editorial director of Le Monde. He won the 1993 Prix Albert Londres and has written and co-written six books published by Stock, most notably two other narrative non-fiction of the lives of women: La Disparue de San Juan (2011) and Vivre cent jours en un (2015).

KORNELIA Narrative non-fiction March 2018 208 pages

“The Lives of Others in the Olympic pools ”

Le JDD

The lightning fate of a swimming champion who has become an iconic figure of the old East Germany.

Kornelia Ender was a high-level swimmer for GDR before she went off the media radar. This ephemeral champion has been the dream of the author, as any other person of his generation in the 70’s. Kornelia “was a protagonist in the Cold War, at the time they were called diplomats in swimsuits, she stood on the top of every podium, bearing out the message that socialism and East Germany were victorious.” Her great rival was an American called Shirley Babashoff, from who she snatched the greatest victories. Vincent Duluc’s narrative also explores the dubious methods used to secure optimum performances from these “deep-voiced” girls, their brutal training sessions, their duty to sustain a flawless image of victory and happiness all the time and in all circumstances. He also tells an unwritten story, the story of Kornelia after she married Roland, another swimming champion, and of the day-to-day life that caught up with them…

Vincent Duluc is the author of two previous narrative non-fiction published by Stock to great critical acclaim (Georges Best, le Cinquième Beatles and Un printemps 76). He is a journalist for the sports paper L’Équipe.

IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF ALEXANDRA DAVID-NÉEL Travel / Adventure April 2018 250 pages

“A highly documented and lively traveler’s notebook ”

Livre Hebdo

Following in the footsteps of an extraordinary explorer, two writers reached the top of the world…

“In 1924, the orientalist Alexandra David-Néel (1868-1969) slipped secretly out of China in the hopes of reaching Lhasa, the Tibetan capital which was closed to foreigners at the time. Aged 56 and accompanied by her adopted son, she walked for four months, dressed as a Tibetan beggar. She covered 1,800 km of forests, rivers, deep valleys and high peaks to get to Lhasa, where she spent two months. This momentous exploit made the reputation of the explorer who had been scouring the Far East since her youth. Almost a century later, we followed in her footsteps. The Tibetan civilisation is in the throes of economic change, globalisation and increased tourism, and could well be vanishing. And yet there are still traces of the Tibet of 1924 in the ubiquitous Buddhism, and the religious fervour of a population whose Tibetan identity is under threat. These complex realities are what we hoped to convey alongside our account of our journey and our evocations of Alexandra David-Néel.”

Christian Garcin is the author of many books, including Les nuits de Vladivostock (2013), Les vies multiples de Jeremiah Reynolds (2016) and Les oiseaux morts de l’Amérique (2018). Éric Faye is a writer of novels, travelogues, essays and short stories. His works include Mes trains de nuit (2005), L’homme sans empreintes (2008), and Nagasaki (2010) which won the Grand Prix du roman from the Académie française and was translated into 20 languages. .

TRAVELLING SEASONS Cédric Gras

Travel / Adventure April 2018 208 pages

Why set out? From Mongolia to Albania, travel as a way of life.

Saisons du voyage

Cédric Gras is one of those writer-travellers who is always setting out for somewhere. Here he describes some of his tribulations, from Tibet to Albania via the whole of Eurasia. Lonely heights standing in for the ends of the earth, unexpected encounters, getting to grips with a language, every aspect of his receptivity to unfamiliar places. The “travelling seasons” are spring and autumn, but also seasons that will never be experienced again: he describes them without nostalgia, but is well aware that the places and their inhabitants have changed. Time has accelerated on what feels like a shrinking planet, one altered by progress, politics and demographics. Travel in the Twenty-First Century is not what it once was.

Born in 1982, Cédric Gras studied geography the world over. As a lover of the great Eurasian expanses, he travelled extensively in the former Soviet Union over a ten-year period. He has also been director of the Alliance française in several countries. He has had two previous books published by Stock: L’hiver aux trousses (2015) and Anthracite (2016).

How to reassure hypochondriacs?

“I know the sketch by heart: ‘Doctor, I’ve got cancer…” or the variant, “Doctor, I’m heading for Alzheimer’s or a heart attack…”. Hypochondria is in better shape than ever now that health information is available to everyone on the internet and social media. I now see why it’s tempting to believe the worst of the most insignificant symptoms. But in the vast majority of cases, people are wrong. You need only to have a proper look at the patient’s symptoms to realize he or she has often over-interpreted things. I wrote this book to convince you that whatever you’re suffering from isn’t all that serious, to tell you that you will die, yes, but not necessarily straight away! The first section runs through our main anxieties: heart attacks, cancer, Aids, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, impotence, sterility, viruses, multiple sclerosis and, lastly, death itself. The second section explores twenty everyday situations: my glands are up in my neck, I’m shaking, I’m seeing double, I’m spitting blood, I have chest pains, etc. In each case, I mention the worst-case scenario (the one we’re afraid of) to help prove that, depending on other symptoms, you may not actually be in your final hours.” Specialist doctor Michel Cymes works in a Paris hospital. He is also a very popular presenter for a number of medical programmes on France Télévisions (Le Magazine de la Santé, Aventures de Médecine, Les Pouvoirs Extraordinaires du corps humain, and Enquête de Santé). His previous book Votre Cerveau, published by Stock, sold over 100, 000 copies in France.

Isabelle Sarfati is a plastic surgeon, she lifts breasts, erases wrinkles, firms tummies, sucks fat from cellulite-heavy thighs and reinjects it into undersized breasts. She operates on men and women, young and old, rich and poor, the ugly and the beautiful. She herself has breast implants, has had her chin and eyelids “done”, she’s had a facelift, liposuction… Her consulting room plays host to a nudist furious about her breast reconstruction, a professional poker player who wants four testicles because he believes it will bring him luck, a transsexual who has kept her moustache, a fuller-figured woman thrilled with her facelift, a gorgeous one who wants to be even more perfect, a little boy who longs to have his nose remodelled, a woman who wants to get rid of her breasts, another who wants much bigger ones and buttocks too while she’s at it… Isabelle Sarfati tries to do something for each of them, and not necessarily with a scalpel. She tells some wonderful stories of transformations, reparations and personal reconciliations. Isabelle Sarfati is a plastic surgeon who has worked in Paris for thirty years.

How Animals Can Make Us More Human Nature March 2018 272 pages

“Engaging stories about the way our fellow animals aim at taking care of us.” Le Parisien

What if animals could teach us wisdom?

Brought up in Buddhist traditions and a keen practitioner of meditation, Norin Chai has a wealth of experience as a wild animal vet. Here he takes us headlong into an exciting and original journey of exploration in the animal world, and the countless things we can learn from it. From the way that they behave, live and coexist, animals (dogs, cats, elephants, dolphins, tamarinds etc) can show us how to reconcile ourselves with our own emotions and share more fully in other people’s. They can also help us rediscover forgotten pathways to our intuitive abilities, listen more attentively to our bodies without stuffing them full of unnecessary food, and live in the moment. Inspired by their example, we can build more user-friendly cities, living spaces better adapted to our needs, and more efficient and ecologically sound means of transport. In fact, surely once we have re-established our lost links with our own animal qualities, we will succeed in rediscovering all our humanity?

Born in Cambodia in 1969, Norin Chai came to France at the age of 4. He started practicing meditation when he was 10, and became a Buddhist monk at 20. He is head vet at the Ménagerie du Jardin des Plantes zoo in Paris, and a popular television presenter in France.

CAN WE ESCAPE OUR OWN GENES? Medecine March 2018 240 pages

Where we discover that our environment is altering our DNA!

By following Dr Ariane Giacobino’s career, we dive headlong into the exciting world of epigenetics: a new science which is based on genetics and determines how much our environment can influence our genes. We now have scientific proof that our genetic make-up – once believed to be immutable – is in fact flexible. Pollutants, intense stress, diet, illness and trauma all have a biological influence on how our DNA is expressed. Applying this discovery has extraordinary repercussions on how we view our life experiences: a traumatic event can leave traces that can transform the way one or several of our genes are expressed. They will no longer function in the same way. As if they were scarred. And this scar can sometimes be transmitted to our children. More astonishing still is the fact that these changes to our genes are reversible! The science of epigenetics also brings with it the promise of personalised medication and treatment. Ariane Giacobino is a doctor of genetics at Geneva University Hospital and at the university’s medical department. She is a member of the Swiss, European and American Human Genetics societies, and a member of the Central Ethics Committee of the Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences. She practices as a clinician for patients with gene-related questions and conditions, and also works as a researcher into epigenetics.

TOTAL RECALL

Hypermnesia: Why are they so gifted ? English translation sample available Popular Science February 2018 336 pages

What is the secret of people with phenomenal memories?

Why them and not us? “Them” meaning those with hypermnesia, phenomenal powers of recall. Some remember every moment of their lives. Others, such as the American Kim Peek (who was the inspiration for the central character in Rain Man), memorized 12,000 books. Some have eidetic memoires, otherwise known as photographic memories. Austistes savants, such as the Englishman Daniel Dennett, can accurately recite the first 22,514 decimals of Pi. They crop up in every field: they may be musical geniuses like Mozart who had the very rare (and enigmatic) gift known as perfect pitch; or master perfumers, the great “noses” of perfumery such as Therry Vasser, of Guerlain, who admits to having memorized 3,000 different essences. They often show up in the world of politics: Bill Clinton is said to have an exceptional memory and the dictator Ferdinand Marcos could recite the 1835 Filipino constitution both backwards and forwards. Using these extraordinary stories, the authors explore the secrets of this valuable but still little understood ability: memory. Will infinite developments of the internet render it useless? Will we all be CAHs, computer-assisted hypermnesiacs? Does human memory still have valuable things to offer us? Roland Portiche is a doctor of philosophy and the writer behind numerous documentaries and popular science programmes. Danièle Gerkens is a chief editor at the magazine ELLE.

A diplomat and interpreter at the Kremlin for Brejney for the Arab world during the 1970s; a promoter of Gorbatchev’s perestroika at the Soviet Embassy in Paris during the 1980s and spokesperson of the democratic reform movement during the Moscow Putsch provoked by hard-line communists in August 1991, Vladimir Fédorovski knows all the whispers running up and down the Kremlin corridors and the underground movements that led to the fall of the Soviet Union. From the end of Stalin’s era to the Putin years, Vladimir Fédorovski offers us another angle of this history. He tells the story both of Soviet espionage in the West, with sometimes comedic interludes, and of the secrets of the Politburo, where some reach the peak of power and others finish in exile or prison. He also reveals to us the new pieces in the war of succession involving Vladimir Putin during the 2018 presidential elections.

Vladimir Fédorovski is a writer of russian origin. His works include international best-sellers, such as The Story of Saint Petersburg and The Story of Rasputin.

Vincent Agrech AN ORCHESTRA TO SAVE THE WORLD Documentary / Music May 2018 Approx 250 pages

Music: an alternative education for the millions of street children around the world?

For more than four decades, an extraordinary adventure has been changing the face of classical music across the world. Started in Venezuela, the orchestras and choirs of Sistema now boast nearly a million children born to working class parents, in some cases living in slums. With Sistema, a musical education is a weapon against delinquency and a tool for social advancement. It has imitators everywhere, in Brazil and Sweden, Korea and France. Behind the fairy tale lies a still more fascinating reality: the work of a single man, José Antonio Abreu, a charismatic but controversial figure. There are political rivalries at stake too, because the Venezuelan Sistema has become a propaganda tool for the Bolivarian regime. The author sets out to meet Abreu and the star conductor Dudamel, teachers and students, in places as unlikely as the fringes of Fukushima or refugee camps in Greece. At the heart of his enquiry is wonderful hope for the future of our children and our societies.

Vincent Agrech has been a music critic for Diapason magazine for twenty years, and executive manager of the renowned baroque orchestra Poème Harmonique for ten years.

Aurélie Raya TRAGEDY AMONG THE RICH

Celebrity / Investigation May 2018 Approx. 200 pages

Money doesn’t buy happiness…

Welcome to the ultra-rich. Their apparently gilded world can prove a nightmare. This spirited book is a compilation of stories that are as unbelievable as they are true, as dark as they are funny. Take, for example the Gettys, the American billionaires who grew rich on oil: Getty paid the ransom demanded by his grandson’s kidnappers only under duress, and even then he set an interest rate! The “Black Widow” Patrizia Reggiani, ex-wife of Maurizio Gucci, landed 26 years in prison for bankrolling her former husband’s assassination. Hans Rausing, heir to the Swedish packaging group Tetra Pak and a close friend of Prince Charles, found his wife dead of an overdose in their bedroom. He left her body to rot for two days and keept taking drugs… Patty Hearst, Lily Safra, Robert Durst, Hélène Pastor, the Livanos sisters, the Marquise de Moratalla, all these names are synonymous with wealth and very dark tragedy…. Aurélie Raya is a journalist for Paris-Match, a French people magazine. Tragedy Among the Rich is her first book.

Sherin Khankan WOMEN ARE THE FUTURE OF ISLAM An Imamah’s Fight

English full text translation available Rights sold to Finland (Schildts & Söderström) and UK (Penguin Random House/Rider Books)

Memoir / Religion October 2017 270 pages

“A terrific book which opens up to a whole new world.” ELLE

The story of the freethinking woman imam who opened the first mosque for women in Europe.

Sherin Khankan doesn’t know fear. She relies on reasoning and belief. In August 2016, Sherin Khankan opened Mariam Mosque, the first mosque for women in Europe. From her home in Copenhagen, the Islamic leader fights for a more progressive and tolerant reading of the Quran, a provocative alternative to traditionalist Muslim discourse and an effective way of challenging the growing islamophobia. At Mariam Mosque, she runs an “Islamic Academy” for women, where Islamic philosophy and prayer are taught. She has also presided over her first interfaith marriages there. This book evokes Sherin Khankan’s childhood, her conversion, her religious practice, Sufism, her intellectual journey and her family. It also addresses the place for modern women in Islam through the body, beauty and seduction, but also feminism and the veil. This book follows the incredible journey of a woman imam who is calling Muslims to a gentle revolution. This story is a first: never has Sherin Khankan, one of the only woman in the world to lead a mosque, spoken of her life in this way.

Born in Denmark in 1974 to a Syrian non-practicing Muslim father and a Finnish Lutheran mother, Sherin Khankan found faith at the age of nineteen. She studied sociology of religions at the University of Copenhagen. In August 2001—a month before the September 11 attacks—she created the “Forum for Critical Muslims,” an association for Muslim believers who desire to live out their faith through a critical approach to the Quran. Later she opened Exitcirkel, an NGO helping women exposed to mental violence. She has four children.

« An acclaimed book on the barbaric violence perpetrated with cold, bureaucratic efficiency in Bashar al-Assad’s name ». The Times The stories and documents revealed in this book are previously unpublished

“Never in the history of wars has proof of crimes against humanity been divulged while the war and its crimes carried on. In Syria, though, one man did it. The military photographer “Caesar” risked his life to give the world 53,000 photos and documents concerning prisoners killed by torture or starved to death in jails run by Bachar el-Assad’s regime. While Islamic State terrorists flaunt their barbarity on social networks, the Syrian regime hides its offences in the silence of its prisons. Since his exfiltration from Syria with these documents which reveal the Machine of Death’s routine, Caesar has been in hiding to avoid assassination by Syria’s Information Services. As the only journalist to have met him, I listened for many hours as he described arbitrary imprisonments, systematic torture, hunger in over-populated cells […] and the pictures he and his team had to take to fill the archives and show the leaders that the “work” had been done. His confession is supported by statements I have collated from former prisoners and their families.” Freelance journalist working for Le Journal du dimanche and L’Obs, Garance Le Caisne spent eight years in Cairo where she learnt Arabic and the subtleties of the Middle East. After six trips to war-torn Syria, she devoted seven months to approaching Caesar, and secured the trust of his group of activists. These militants are now trying to achieve international justice by having Bachar el-Assad’s regime judged.
