Woman, Life, Freedom
The emancipator revolution of woman, life, freedom in Iran was the most different political and cultural movement among the whole middle east, because it was calling for liberalism in the Middle East. Iranians rose up bravely against the Islamic totalitarian regime. By putting away traditions and political Islam as a governing model in the Middle East region, they want to destroy the rigid laws and put an end to the religious governing system. They want change and are fighting for women's rights, liberalism, equality, and democracy. In this book, the nature and the reason of this revolution is debated.

Drafted
From noted cartoonist Rick Parker comes his long-awaited original graphic novel memoir about his time in the United States Army, when he was drafted to serve during the Vietnam War Drafted is a graphic novel memoir by Rick Parker, a shy, inexperienced, and overly protected teenager who gets drafted into the United States Army at the height of the Vietnam War. The looming threat of deployment informs every aspect of his life, from the most ludicrous experiences to the grimmest tests of endurance. Initially determined to do his patriotic duty, Parker gradually comes to the realization that he is just not cut out for a military career and wants nothing more than to serve his time and return to civilian life to pursue his dream of becoming an artist. In telling this story, he shows how Vietnam was the last war in the United States that instituted the draft; how the draft affected those who served; and how we as Americans think of war and our soldiers once they return from service. Parker also shows how being an artist helped him to survive his time in the army. Drafted is a compelling and unique graphic novel memoir, perfect for fans of Joe Sacco and Derf Backderf, and is sure to appeal to Parker’s dedicated followers and new fans alike—already proven by the response to the award-winning short film Rick Parker, I’m Afraid.

La route
L’apocalypse a eu lieu. Le monde est dévasté, couvert de cendres et de cadavres. Parmi les survivants, un père et son fils errent sur une route, poussant un caddie rempli d’objets hétéroclites, censés les aider dans leur voyage. Sous la pluie, la neige et le froid, ils avancent vers les côtes du sud, la peur au ventre : des hordes de sauvages cannibales terrorisent ce qui reste de l’humanité. Survivront-ils à leur périple ? Après "Le Rapport de Brodeck", Manu Larcenet adapte de nouveau une œuvre majeure de la littérature. Couronnée par le prix Pulitzer en 2007, "La Route" a connu un grand succès et a été adaptée au cinéma en 2009 avec Vigo Mortensen dans le rôle principal. Avec cet album, Manu Larcenet réussit une adaptation d’une originalité absolue et pourtant d’une totale fidélité. En posant son trait sous les mots du romancier, en illustrant les silences du récit, l’artiste s’est approprié l’univers sombre et fascinant du roman de Cormac McCarthy. D’un roman-culte il a fait un album d’une beauté saisissante, à la fois puissant et poignant. Incontestablement un des chefs-d’œuvre de la bande dessinée moderne. Cormac McCarthy a signé plusieurs romans phares dont "La Route" mais aussi "No Country for old men", également adapté par les frères Coen au cinéma. Son œuvre est essentiellement disponible aux éditions de L’Olivier (et Points), associées à Dargaud sur ce projet. L’écrivain est décédé le 13 juin 2023. Son roman, publié aux Éditions de l’Olivier et chez Points pour la version poche, a été vendu à près de 800 000 exemplaires.

Singularity
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Celebrated futurist Ray Kurzweil, hailed by Bill Gates as “the best person I know at predicting the future of artificial intelligence,” presents an “elaborate, smart, and persuasive” (The Boston Globe) view of the future course of human development. “Artfully envisions a breathtakingly better world.”—Los Angeles Times “Startling in scope and bravado.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times “An important book.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer At the onset of the twenty-first century, humanity stands on the verge of the most transforming and thrilling period in its history. It will be an era in which the very nature of what it means to be human will be both enriched and challenged as our species breaks the shackles of its genetic legacy and achieves inconceivable heights of intelligence, material progress, and longevity. While the social and philosophical ramifications of these changes will be profound, and the threats they pose considerable, The Singularity Is Near presents a radical and optimistic view of the coming age that is both a dramatic culmination of centuries of technological ingenuity and a genuinely inspiring vision of our ultimate destiny.

The Nasty takes a fun nostalgic trip down memory lane and elevates it to a new level of horror. – Lotusland Comics

Wonder Woman
“I’ve never seen more information about Wonder Woman than in Wonder Woman Unbound. Tim Hanley tells us everything we’ve never asked about Wonder Woman, . . . from her mythic Golden Age origins through her dismal Silver Age years as a lovesick romance comic character, and worse yet, when she lost her costume and powers in the late 1960s. Our favorite Amazon’s saga becomes upbeat again with the 1970s advent of Gloria Steinem and Ms. magazine, and Lynda Carter’s unforgettable portrayal of her on television. And it’s all told with a dollop of humor!” —Trina Robbins, author of Pretty in Ink With her golden lasso and her bullet-deflecting bracelets, Wonder Woman is a beloved icon of female strength in a world of male superheroes. But this close look at her history portrays a complicated heroine who is more than just a female Superman. Tim Hanley explores Wonder Woman’s lost history, delving into her comic book and its spin-offs as well as the motivations of her creators, to showcase the peculiar journey of a twentieth-century icon—from the 1940s, when her comics advocated female superiority but were also colored by bondage imagery and hidden lesbian leanings, to her resurgence as a feminist symbol in the 1970s and beyond. Tim Hanley is a comic book historian. His blog, Straitened Circumstances, discusses Wonder Woman and women in comics, and his column “Gendercrunching” runs monthly on Bleeding Cool. He lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

World Without End
#1 New York Times Bestseller In 1989, Ken Follett astonished the literary world with The Pillars of the Earth, a sweeping epic novel set in twelfth-century England centered on the building of a cathedral and many of the hundreds of lives it affected. World Without End is its equally irresistible sequel—set two hundred years after The Pillars of the Earth and three hundred years after the Kingsbridge prequel, The Evening and the Morning. World Without End takes place in the same town of Kingsbridge, two centuries after the townspeople finished building the exquisite Gothic cathedral that was at the heart of The Pillars of the Earth. The cathedral and the priory are again at the center of a web of love and hate, greed and pride, ambition and revenge, but this sequel stands on its own. This time the men and women of an extraordinary cast of characters find themselves at a crossroads of new ideas—about medicine, commerce, architecture, and justice. In a world where proponents of the old ways fiercely battle those with progressive minds, the intrigue and tension quickly reach a boiling point against the devastating backdrop of the greatest natural disaster ever to strike the human race—the Black Death. Three years in the writing and nearly eighteen years since its predecessor, World Without End is a "well-researched, beautifully detailed portrait of the late Middle Ages" (The Washington Post) that once again shows that Ken Follett is a masterful author writing at the top of his craft.
