For anyone who ever wondered what Marcel Proust had in mind when he wrote the one-and-a-quarter-million words of In Search of Lost Time (while bedridden no less), Alain de Botton has the answer. For, in this stylish, erudite and frequently hilarious book, de Botton dips deeply into Proust’s life and work - his fiction, letter, and conversations – and distils from them that rare self-help manual: one that is actually helpful.

This gripping, deeply thoughtful book considers the future of civilization in the light of what we know about climate change and related threats. David Orr, an award-winning, internationally recognized leader in the field of sustainability and environmental education, pulls no punches: Even with the Paris Agreement of 2015, Earth systems will not reach a new equilibrium for centuries.

La pièce Les belles-sœurs de Michel Tremblay est née le 4 mars 1968 lors d'une lecture publique dans un minuscule théâtre de la métropole. Cinquante ans après sa création, le journaliste Mario Girard raconte l'histoire qui a entouré la naissance de cette oeuvre majeure de la dramaturgie québécoise. À partir de témoignages, de documents d'archives et de photographies, on découvre comment, un jour de 1965, l'idée est venue au jeune Tremblay d'écrire une pièce en joual rassemblant 15 femmes dans une cuisine autour d'un million de timbres-primes Gold Star.
