En attendant minuit
069.00 DHTel un tocsin, vingt-deux heures sonnent au clocher de Costes-Blanc, village perdu de Corrèze, en ce mercredi de décembre 1916. A la ferme des Combettes, Marthe sait qu’il est inutile d’aller se coucher, que le sommeil ne la gagnera pas avant longtemps. Il se fera attendre, comme chaque soir depuis plus de deux ans, depuis que Jean Laval, son mari, est parti sur le front avec son régiment de Brive. Au même instant, grelottant de froid et de peur, au bout d’une tranchée boueuse, Jean surveille les lignes ennemies, à moins de trente mètres. La moindre inattention, la moindre somnolence seraient fatales. Tenir, jusqu’au prochain sifflement d’obus, dans la nuit striée de fusées éclairantes. Minute par minute, séparés par un abîme, cet homme et cette femme vivent une attente insupportable, victime d’une situation qui les dépasse, dans l’espoir que la tragédie les épargne.

Une histoire de la raison – Entretiens avec Emile Noël
0104.00 DHUne histoire de la raison Composante essentielle de la civilisation occidentale, la rationalité imprègne si bien tous nos modes de pensée que l’on en viendrait presque à oublier qu’elle a une histoire. A l’heure du triomphe de la raison technicienne, François Châtelet nous invite à une passionnante remontée aux sources. De Socrate à Platon, de Galilée à Machiavel et de Nietzsche à Freud, il retrace «l’invention de la raison», marque les grandes étapes de la pensée philosophique et montre – avec sa simplicité coutumière et un rare talent de conteur – comment se sont tissés d’indissolubles liens entre la liberté et la raison, même si cette dernière, conclut l’auteur, n’a pas encore atteint «l’âge de raison».

الفتاة الاخيرة
0145.00 DH
اليوم، قصّة نادية –كشاهدة على عنف تنظيم الدولة الإسلاميّة، وناجية من الاغتصاب، ولاجئة، وأيزيدية- قد أجبرت العالم على الالتفات إلى هذه الإبادة المتواصلة. قصّتها شهادة حيّة على إرادة إنسانيّة تأبى الإنكسار، وعائلة شرّدتها الحرب، ودعوة إلى دول للتحرّك، وحماية مجتمع يتعرّض للإبادة.
ولدت نادية مراد ونشأت في كوجو، وهي بلدة صغيرة في شمال العراق يعيش فيها المزارعون والرعاة. وكانت تعيش حياة هادئة مع عائلتها الكبيرة في مجتمع أيزيدي، فلا تتعدّى أحلامها أن تصبح معلّمة تاريخ في مدرسة البلدة أو تفتح صالون التجميل الخاص بها.
في الخامس عشر من أغسطس 2014، ونادية لم تتخطَ بعد الحادية والعشرين من عمرها، انتهت هذه الأحلام. ارتكب مسلّحو الدولة الإسلامية مجزرة في بلدتها فقتلوا الرجال والنساء اللواتي في سن لا يصلح ليعملن جاريات. وهكذا قتل ستة من إخوة ناديا، وأمّها، ودُفنت جثثهم في مقابر جماعيّة. ونُقلت نادية إلى الموصل، وأجبرت مع آلاف الفتيات الأيزيديات على الخضوع لداعش ليتم بيعهنّ في سوق النخاسة.
أُسرت نادية لدى عدد من المسلّحين، وتعرّضت للاغتصاب والضرب مرّات. لكنّها تمكّنت أخيرًا من الهرب عبر شوارع الموصل، ووجدت ملاذًا لها في منزل عائلة مسلمة سنّية، خاطر أحد أبنائها في تهريب ناديا كي تبلغ بر الأمان. -
Steve Jobs
0189.00 DH‘This is a riveting book, with as much to say about the transformation of modern life in the information age as about its supernaturally gifted and driven subject’ – Telegraph
Based on more than forty interviews with Steve Jobs conducted over two years – as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues – this is the acclaimed, internationally bestselling biography of the ultimate icon of inventiveness.
Walter Isaacson tells the story of the rollercoaster life and searingly intense personality of creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies,music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.
Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no control over what was written, nor even the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing off limits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and the innovative products that resulted.

The Human Stain
0139.00 DH‘An extraordinary book – bursting with rage, humming with ideas, full of dazzling sleights of hand’- Sunday Telegraph
Philip Roth’s brilliant conclusion to his eloquent trilogy of post-war America – a magnificent successor to American Pastoral and I Married a Communist
It is 1998, the year America is plunged into a frenzy of prurience by the impeachment of a president, and in a small New England town a distinguished classics professor, Coleman Silk, is forced to retire when his colleagues allege that he is a racist. The charge is unfounded, the persecution needless, but the truth about Silk would astonish even his most virulent accuser.
Coleman Silk has a secret, one which has been kept for fifty years from his wife, his four children, his colleagues, and his friends, including the writer Nathan Zuckerman.
It is Zuckerman who comes upon Silk’s secret, and sets out to unearth his former buried life, piecing the biographical fragments back together. This is against backdrop of seismic shifts in American history, which take on real, human urgency as Zuckerman discovers more and more about Silk’s past and his futile search for renewal and regeneration.

Committed : A Love Story
0139.00 DH‘Like Eat, Pray, Love, her follow-up … feels irresistibly confessional … I found myself guzzling Committed, reading it in mighty chunks, far into the night. Whenever I put it down, it was pinched by my mother or sister’ – Sunday Times
‘An unblinkered consideration of what marriage really means’ – Woman & Home
‘Gilbert delves deep into the history and cultural meanings of marriage, as well as into her own relationship’ – Financial Times
‘Insightful … She speaks for many who question the bliss in conjugal bonds, or, at least, those who want to understand how the tradition still perpetuates. For better or worse’ – Vogue
________________At the end of her bestselling memoir Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert fell in love with Felipe – a Brazilian-born man of Australian citizenship who’d been living in Indonesia when they met. Resettling in America, the couple swore eternal fidelity to each other, but also swore to never, ever, under any circumstances get legally married (Both survivors of difficult divorces. Enough said.) But providence intervened one day in the form of the U.S. government, who – after unexpectedly detaining Felipe at an American border crossing – gave the couple a choice: they could either get married, or Felipe would never be allowed to enter the country again.
Having been effectively sentenced to wed, Gilbert tackled her fears of marriage by delving completely into this topic, trying with all her might to discover (through historical research, interviews and much personal reflection) what this stubbornly enduring old institution actually is. The result is Committed – a witty and intelligent contemplation of marriage that debunks myths, unthreads fears and suggests that sometimes even the most romantic of souls must trade in her amorous fantasies for the humbling responsibility of adulthood.
Gilbert’s memoir – destined to become a cherished handbook for any thinking person hovering on the verge of marriage – is ultimately a clear-eyed celebration of love, with all the complexity and consequence that real love, in the real world, actually entails
