L'homme se tient sur une brèche, dans l'intervalle entre le passé révolu et l'avenir infigurable. Il ne peut s'y tenir que dans la mesure où il pense, brisant ainsi, par sa résistance aux forces du passé infini et du futur infini, le flux du temps indifférent. Chaque génération nouvelle, chaque homme nouveau doit redécouvrir laborieusement l'activité de pensée. Longtemps, pour ce faire, on put recourir à la tradition. Or nous vivons, à l'âge moderne, l'usure de la tradition, la crise de la culture.

One Summer: America, 1927, is the new book by Britain’s favourite writer of narrative nonfiction, Bill Bryson. Narrated by the man himself, One Summer takes you to the summer when America came of age, took centre stage, and changed the world forever. In the summer of 1927, America had a booming stock market, a president who worked just four hours a day, a semi-crazed sculptor with a plan to carve four giant heads into a mountain called Rushmore, a devastating flood of the Mississippi, a sensational murder trial, and a youthful aviator named Charles Lindbergh who started the summer wholly unknown, and finished it as the most famous man on Earth.

Since Darwin's day, we've been told that sexual monogamy comes naturally to our species.

But this narrative is collapsing....

John and Paul were more than friends, collaborators or rivals in the sense we normally understand those terms. They were both exceptionally intense young men who had the fabric of their world ruptured at a young age. There have been millions of words written about The Beatles, but this is the first book to focus on what lay at the heart of this phenomenon: the alchemy of two young men. Ian Leslie explores this volatile, madly creative quasi-marriage and misunderstood story. The result is a wildly enjoyable biography, told through the songs, which will make us see and hear John and Paul afresh.

In the best-selling, prize-winning A Short History of Nearly Everything Bill Bryson achieved the seemingly impossible by making the science of our world both understandable and entertaining to millions of people around the globe. Now he turns his attention inwards to explore the human body, how it functions and its remarkable ability to heal itself. Full of extraordinary facts and astonishing stories, The Body: A Guide for Occupants is a brilliant, often very funny attempt to understand the miracle of our physical and neurological makeup.
