Product Information

You can take this book as a depressing novel, or as an exaggeration, or as a clarion call to change your routine habits. The choice is in your hands, as is the planet’s future.

Elle assène surtout une thèse principale : bien que l’énergie ne représente que 5% de nos dépenses quotidiennes, l’ensemble de notre mode de vie contemporain s’est nourri et construit sur cette énergie abondante et peu coûteuse.

Pre-order:

Follett craftily used his characters to show all these changes. And he does it brilliantly. Using a powerful story with wonderful characters. Euh… il suffit de lire Svetlana Alexievitch « la supplication » pour constater un nombre considérable de victimes collatérales (liquideurs, ouvriers, militaires, populations locales) qui sont morts dans leur coin (de radiations ou de cancer, pas soigné, donc) sans alimenter de statistiques. I refuse to call Ralph an avatar of anything, yet he is emblematic of a strong rape fetish that courses through World Without End like poison in the bloodstream. In 1327, these four children slip away from the confines of Kingsbridge and play in the forest, a dangerous activity forbidden to them by their parents. But who among us hasn't ignored a prohibition like that at one time or another? When, to their horror, they witness a killing that they cannot understand, their lives become inextricably entwined together and it is not until many, many years later that any of them will understand the dark motives behind the brutal event in the forest that unfolded before them that day. I was parched and hungry for a good meaty read. Well consider me gorged and my story thirst completely slaked.

Ainsi, il y a quelques années, la disponibilité des métaux pour "la transition" (voitures électriques + réseaux électriques + solaire et éolien) avait été questionnée par une note en petits caractères dans un tableau du corps du rapport, avant de devenir un message bien plus central ensuite.Le monde sans fin" with Christophe Blain (Dargaud, 2021, ISBN 9782205088168), English translation: "World without end" (Europe Comics, 2022) It's also just a fascinating portrait of everyday life in 14th century England. Two hundred years after the events of The Pillars of the Earth, Kingsbridge now has a nunnery (which makes for some interesting politics as the monks try to control the nuns, but they are some seriously badass women) and the Guild plays an important part in decisions for the town, as well as the Priory. More telling is the apparent shift Follett has undergone in what he believes we want to read about. For example, the first book avoided homosexuality, despite the many opportunities to explore it in a monastery. The second, now twenty years deeper into the gay rights movement, explores gay relationships with a frank openness more consistent with San Francisco circa 2000 than the Britain of the 1300s. Un cheval n'avait alors le droit de vivre que s'il tirait ou portait une charge, un chien s'il gardait le troupeau, et un chat s'il débarrassait les alentours des souris. Inutile de préciser que les poissons rouges étaient alors assez peu répandus.

Kingsbridge #2: World Without End by Ken Follett. What a book, what a ride. While this is the second book in the series, it can absolutely be read as a stand-alone. The connections to the first book, which took place 200 years prior, have to do with the town itself. Yes, our main characters here are largely descendants of the characters of the first book, but that’s about it. The Ryst bookstore, in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin [in the Manche area on the coast of Normandy], was the first to report the arrival of a forger on Wednesday, December 14, 2022. A woman, posing as a representative of the publisher, asked to photocopy and insert an erratum with very political overtones in copies of the book” La préoccupation de "fin du mois" étant majeure pour une fraction croissante de l'électorat, il est impératif que l'écologie ne soit pas vue par une large fraction de la population comme un "truc de riches contre le peuple" (ce qui est actuellement le cas : https://t.ly/iBi9F ). He is the author and the main developer of the main French carbon accounting method, the Bilan Carbone assessment tool for the French Inter-ministerial Greenhouse Gas Mission.Il en va de même pour les métaux - pour certains d'entre eux le monde compte peu de zones productrices - ou pour certaines productions agricoles (le café ne pousse pas bien en Europe par exemple). The solutions provided are not so extreme that would sound impossible but easy-to-implement changes in our lifestyle. Most of which we already know, but don’t follow. The most important thing this book does is show you ‘perspective’. The energy problem isn’t so distant in the future, and your role isn’t as tiny as you would imagine. And yes, I realize that any criticism of World Without End or Ken Follett is like whizzing into the ocean. The man is Teflon-coated and critic-proof; if he ever feels bad about the criticism leveled against him, he has millions of dollars with which to dry his leaking eyes. Masterful and unforgettable... A testament to the power of the graphic novel" - Marjane Satrapi, author of Persepolis
