"Nebula, Locus, and Alex Award-winner P. Djèlí Clark returns to his popular alternate Cairo universe for his fantasy novel debut, A Master of Djinn. Cairo, 1912: Though Fatma el-Sha'arawi is the youngest woman working for the Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments and Supernatural Entities, she's certainly not a rookie, especially after preventing the destruction of the universe last summer. So when someone murders a secret brotherhood dedicated to one of the most famous men in history, al-Jahiz, Agent Fatma is called onto the case. Al-Jahiz transformed the world forty years ago when he opened up the veil between the magical and mundane realms, before vanishing into the unknown. This murderer claims to be al-Jahiz, returned to condemn the modern age for its social oppressions. His dangerous magical abilities instigate unrest in the streets of Cairo that threaten to spill over onto the global stage.

- Les fleurs du mal / by Baudelaire, Charles,1821-1867.(CARDINAL)138933;
Considérées comme une attaque aux bonnes moeurs par la société bourgeoise du XIXe siècle, Les Fleurs du mol se trouvent à la charnière du romantisme, qui brille de ses derniers feux, et du symbolisme, qui ne naîtra qu'à la fin du siècle et qui choisit Baudelaire comme précurseur prestigieux. Les écrivains se retrouvent alors face à une modernité qu'il faut apprivoiser pour parvenir à l'intégrer à l'art. Mais comment faire de la littérature dans une époque de grands bouleversements qui semble vulgaire aux poètes ? La réponse de Baudelaire est à la fois provocatrice et brillante : poétisons la vulgarité et vulgarisons la poésie. Autrement dit, transformons la boue en or. Dossier pédagogique spécial nouveaux programmes. Parcours : Alchimie poétique : la boue et l'or. Pour aller plus loin : La modernité poétique.- Subjects: Fiction.;
