    This book is not for the faint of heart.
     
    Drugs, gangs, and violence form the backdrop of this gripping tale that follows a young girl caught at crossroads of her life. On the cusp of her twenties, with adulthood looming just ahead, she discovers just how much a detour can derail someone’s path. As our heroine faces multiple 
    challenges and navigates through unexpected events at every turn, life unfolds before her eyes in mysterious and unpredictable ways.
     
    Set in the 1990s, when grunge was at its dirtiest and hard rock blackened the ears and clothes of youth, this story follows suit with its own dark and grime soundtrack. Before the age of the internet and fast revolutions, this narrative takes on a much slower pace, sauntering through simpler days. Told as truthfully as possible with much grit and humility, this book is written for the underdogs, for the broken, and for those who get knocked down but never give up; for those who crawled their way out of the belly of Hell and for those we loved so dearly who died trying.

    Ousted from power by the French army on April 11, 2011, following the disputed presidential election in Côte d'Ivoire of November 2010, Laurent Gbagbo was charged with crimes against humanity before the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, on December 5, 2011.
    
    This book, written from 2012 onwards, thanks to numerous prison visits and interviews, is the only one to have been produced with the participation of the Ivorian president during his incarceration and trial.
    This unique testimony is more than ever a document for history, because it sheds light on the manipulations of the 2010 elections, the collusion between Nicolas Sarkozy's France and the ICC to get rid of Laurent Gbagbo, and the stalling tactics and maneuvers that marred "Gbagbogate."
    Over meetings with François Mattei, Laurent Gbagbo looks back on his seven years in prison, explains what they mean and shares his vision for the future—that of a free man, come what may.

    Enchanting, tragic, and hilarious fairy tales for adults and children grace these pages. An initial glance might lead you to assume that these are satirical versions of classic Christmas ghost stories. However, beneath the humorous stories involving ghosts, repentant sinners, miracles, and good peasants who find well-deserved happiness, lies a psychological undercurrent that sharpens the sense of intrigue and plot movement. Often this is aided by the unrelenting social exposure of the authors who always understood how intangible the "bourgeois paradise" truly was. Even today, idyllic dreams of tolerance, equality, and the triumph of justice have failed to materialize. Perhaps that is why people continue to read these classic stories while the snow falls outside and the lights glow on the Christmas tree.
