Book Description
""20 jours de liberte"" est l'histoire vraie d'une jeune Tcheque, Suzanne, qui, pour la premiere fois de sa vie, avant la chute du Mur de Berlin, est venue passer vingt jours en France. Parachutee sur ""une autre planete,"" ces vingt jours furent, pour elle, une totale decouverte du monde: tout ce qui nous paraissait banal lui etait totalement inconnu ! Elle profita, cependant, difficilement de sa liberte ephemere car, etant endoctrinee dans son pays, elle se croyait constamment epiee par la police secrete... Ce recit fut egalement pour Veronique BEAUMONT l'occasion de raconter ses voyages en U.R.S.S. et en Tchecoslovaquie avant la chute du Mur de Berlin. Habituee a vivre dans un pays ou l'on trouve de tout et ou la liberte existe, la vie, dans ces pays totalitaires, s'est averee, pour elle, pleine de pieges et les magasins etaient totalement vides. ""20 jours de liberte"" est un recit edifiant sur le choc de deux cultures radicalement differentes."

Book Description
Le présent ouvrage est le résultat d’une recherche conjointe entre les Universités de Bologne, Rennes et Bruxelles sur le thème de la dimension extérieure de l’espace de liberté, de sécurité et de justice de l’Union européenne (ELSJ). Cette recherche a été soutenue par la Commission européenne dans le cadre de l’ Action Jean Monnet. Il associe des professeurs et chercheurs de renom qui conjuguent leurs compétences et situent leur analyse à l’intersection des politiques en la matière et des politiques externes de l’Union européenne. Les auteurs évaluent de manière critique l’impact du traité de Lisbonne et de la pratique de l’Union concernant la dimension extérieure de l’ELSJ. Cette dimension dont l’importance ne cesse de croître oblige l’Union à concilier des impératifs parfois contradictoires entre les objectifs sécuritaires de l’ELSJ ou ceux de l’action extérieure, ou encore avec les valeurs sur lesquelles elle est fondée. Les auteurs tentent de répondre à différentes questions induites par le nouveau système de représentation extérieure de l’Union dans le domaine de l’ELSJ : Quelles sont les retombées juridiques du nouveau système ? Quel est également son impact politique ? Ne risque-t-on pas une incursion croissante de la politique étrangère et de sécurité commune (PESC) dans les aspects sécuritaires de l’ELSJ ?

Book Description
A Frail Liberty traces the paradoxical actions of the first French abolitionist society, the Société des Amis des Noirs (Society of the Friends of Blacks), at the juncture of two unprecedented achievements of the revolutionary era: the extension of full rights of citizenship to qualifying free men of color in 1792 and the emancipation decree of 1794 that simultaneously declared the formerly enslaved to be citizens of France. This society helped form the revolution's notion of color-blind equality yet did not protest the pro-slavery attack on the new citizens of France. Tessie P. Liu prioritizes the understanding of the elite insiders' vision of equality as crucial to understanding this dualism. By documenting the link between outright exclusion and political inclusion and emphasizing that a nation's perceived qualifications for citizenship formulate a particular conception of racial equality, Liu argues that the treatment and status distinctions between free people of color and the formerly enslaved parallel the infamous divide between "active" and "passive" citizens. These two populations of colonial citizens with African ancestry then must be considered part of the normative operations of French citizenship at the time. Uniquely locating racial differentiation in the French and Haitian revolutions within the logic and structures of political representation, Liu deepens the conversation regarding race as a civic identity within democratic societies.

Book Description
A radiant, unforgettable memoir of one woman’s 450 days spent in captivity, and her defiant refusal to have her humanity stripped away. When Edith meets Luca in a small Northern town, the two connect instantly. Under the Northern Lights, they develop a deep friendship over their shared passions: travel, living off the land, a bohemian life. In search of wanderlust, they embark on an epic road trip from Italy to Togo, where they will join their friend’s sustainable farming project. Upon arriving on the African continent, they change their itinerary and drive through Africa’s Sahel region, a haven for militant groups, where they are surrounded and captured. Little was known about Edith’s and Luca’s fate until they reappeared in Mali more than one year later, having mysteriously escaped their captors. Now, Edith shares her harrowing story with the world for the first time—complete with the poems that became a lifeline for her in captivity, which she wrote in secret with a pen borrowed from another hostage. Against the stunning but cruel backdrop of the desert, Edith recounts her months as a hostage: the oppressive heat, violent sandstorms, constant relocations, hunger strikes, and her eventual heart-pounding escape. Separated from Luca early on, she finds solidarity and comfort with a group of other female hostages, who lend her a pen to write poetry, a creative outlet that helps save her life. Edith is steadfast in her will to remain sane: she reveals her dedication to her art, and her striking ability to unsettle her captors and identify their vulnerabilities. A compelling descent into a strange, brutal universe, The Weight of Sand is ultimately a life-affirming book and a poetic celebration of one woman’s resilience.

Book Description
This text covers such topics as value, money, agriculture, domestic and foreign trade, war, labour, interest rates, luxuries, and the various government policies that affect these subjects. The theme that unites these disparate subjects is liberty. As Condillac writes near the end of the work, the means to eradicate all the abuses and injustices of government is "to give trade full, complete and permanent freedom". In their preface to the 1997 edition, Shelagh and Walter Eltis wrote, "English language readers . . . will find . . . that the case for competitive market economics has rarely been presented more powerfully."
