A deadly bomb goes off in the Wartime Claims and Inquiries office in Vienna. Two people end up in the morgue, one man in Intensive Care. The incident brings art restorer Mario Delvecchio away from his work in Venice to investigate who is behind it. There, he resumes his activities as Gabriel Allon, master Israeli spy (first introduced in THE KILL ARTIST). He wants to find whoever is responsible for the attack as much as his mentor/master, Shamron, and the rest of his Mossad colleagues, especially when he realizesthat the man in the hospital is an old and dear friend.
Gabriel begins a careful scrutiny of the past, which sends ripples throughout central Europe --- indeed, across several continents. In the course of working to solve who is behind the bombing, he encounters an old man whose picture (at least) he knows he has seen before --- an old man who evokes terrible memories and whose past is linked to the Nazi death camps. It becomes Gabriel's mission to bring this man to justice, as much for personal reasons as to balance the scales for the murdered and maimed of the camps.
Despite Gabriel's near-impossible travel schedule and his encounters with a seemingly bottomless cast of characters, Daniel Silva's latest work reads quickly. The sheer number of characters (several with at least one alias) seemed cumbersome at times, but the pace remained lively. Even the flashback to the Nazi roundup of hundreds of thousands of Jews --- recounted through the testimony of one courageous woman who miraculously survived --- at first seemed to be a distracting side trip, but actually stepped up the story's flow.
Silva does not sugarcoat these horrible times in our world's history. The agony and inhumanity pulse on every page. It's a story that needs to be told so they are not forgotten. And now, with A DEATH IN VIENNA, the last in the Holocaust series, Silva has done just that, completing the circle he began in THE CONFESSOR and THE ENGLISH ASSASSIN. Taken together or as stand-alone novels, they are worthy additions to the libraries of thriller fans everywhere. (Très pénible à lire des livres sur l'Holocauste)

Gregory Charles aura un théâtre mobile pour son spectacle Vintage.
Gregory Charles a eu cette idée pour pouvoir se produire un peu partout, sans que les coûts soient exorbitants. C'est finalement une compagnie allemande qui s'occupera de la conception du Palas qui pourra accueillir 1000 personnes. Le spectacle interactif, qui présentera les meilleures chansons des 80 dernières années, est selon Gregory « le show de sa vie. C'est le spectacle que je rêve de faire depuis que je fais du spectacle. » Il est aussi un hommage à sa maman qui souffre d'Alzheimer: « Je me suis dit que ce n'est pas une fois que ma mère sera partie que je devais me lancer dans les affaires folles. Ma mère était toujours du genre à dire ? c'est quoi le pas de plus que tu pourrais faire pour réussir. ? Alors, on fait construire un théâtre spécialement pour ce spectacle-là. »
On est certain que le dernier projet de Gregory fonctionnera très bien. On a grandement besoin de visionnaires pour ouvrir de nouveaux horizons et Gregory Charles fait définitivement parti de ces personnes. Chapeau! www.cyperpresse.ca

Detective Alex Cross and Bree's wedding plans are put on hold when Alex is called to the scene of the perfectly executed assassination of two of Washington D.C.'s most corrupt: a dirty congressmen and an underhanded lobbyist. Next, the elusive gunman begins picking off other crooked politicians, sparking a blaze of theories--is the marksman a hero or a vigilante?
A murderer returns
The case explodes, and the FBI assigns agent Max Siegel to the investigation. As Alex and Siegel battle over jurisdiction, the murders continue. It becomes clear that they are the work of a professional who has detailed knowledge of his victims' movements--information that only a Washington insider could possess.
Caught in a lethal cross fire
As Alex contends with the sniper, Siegel, and the wedding, he receives a call from his deadliest adversary, Kyle Craig. The Mastermind is in D.C. and will not relent until he has eliminated Cross and his family for good. With a supercharged blend of action, deception, and suspense, Cross Fire is James Patterson's most visceral and exciting Alex Cross novel ever.
C’est Benjamin Franklin, le 16 avril 1784, qui a évoqué pour la toute première fois dans le quotidien français Le Journal de Paris l’idée de décaler les horaires afin d’économiser des bouts de chandelles, en d’autres mots, de l’énergie. Il ne devait toutefois pas s’attendre à ce que plus de 200 ans plus tard une possible révolution contre le changement prenne forme au Québec.
Dans son essai1, il expliquait qu’en passant à l«’heure d’été» il était possible d’économiser énormément de chandelles et d’huile. Rappelons qu’à cette époque on s’éclairait à l’aide de chandelles et de lampes à l’huile.
Son article a peut-être été vu à l’origine comme une satire, et qui sait, l’expression «économiser des bouts de chandelle» vient peut-être de cette époque, allez savoir! P.S. Avancée ou normale je m'en fou mais qu'elle demeure stable tout au long de l'année....pas d'heure yoyo été/hiver
Mais à ce sujet, il y a des gens au Québec qui en ont marre, vraiment marre de faire de l’économie de bouts de chandelle. En effet, une résidente de Lévis, Valérie Harvey, a lancée une pétition le 28 février dernier pour faire cesser cette économie de bouts de chandelle.

Few authors have understood the tender intricacies of relationships better than the incomparable Belva Plain. For three decades her deeply moving epics have captivated the hearts and imaginations of readers everywhere. Now, in her final novel, she comes full circle with the themes she took up in her very first work, Evergreen, bringing us this unforgettable story of family and friendship, love and marriage, the challenges of life and the true secret of happiness.
Though Iris Stern considers herself a modern woman, with a successful academic career and a happy marriage, she still holds steadfast to her old-fashioned sensibilities. But as the mother of three adult children, each with their own lives and burdens to bear, she often finds those sensibilities called into question when confronted with the choices her children have made.
For one of Iris’s daughters, it’s the choice of a fresh start in New York City—and a last chance to save her troubled marriage. While Laura and Robbie cope with an impending separation and its effect on Iris’s young granddaughter, Iris herself must come to grips with the discovery of a long-held family secret. But it’s an emotional parting of another kind that looms most prominently on Iris’s horizon—as neither her beloved husband, nor the solidity of her own marriage, is immune to the ravages of time.
Through separations and reunions, the changes we cannot avoid and the love that sustains, Iris will weather whatever lies ahead with a faith that cannot be shaken. Like the inmost rings of a tree that abide through the generations, she will be as strong as heartwood.

Oz The Great and Powerful - Full Trailer | Official Disney HD
Merci J.P. c'est exactement cette bande-annonce
The Wizard himself got short shrift in "The Wizard of Oz," which played him off as a kind of dumpy little dude behind a curtain. In this new take on L. Frank Baum's classic, James Franco plays a Kansas magician who takes a hot-air balloon into the magical land, meets its witches and Munchkins, and discovers the people of the troubled land need him to become someone else in order to save them. (Opens March 8.)
Il faut regarder la bande-annonce NBCNews.com / Entertainment (impossible de faire un couper-coller)
