Chicago, 1938. Jules Tivoli, a 17-year-old Italian immigrant, finds his life turned upside down when he crosses paths with Adam Czar, an older, charismatic, and infuriating member of the local Mafia.

La folie de la forêt
In the heart of the ancestral forest, young Taru is searching for her place among her people. She is marginalized by the hunter-warrior tribe because of her naiveté, and her ingenious innovations are considered strange.

Tome 3
Jailed! Four of our five ladies find themselves locked up in the penitentiary. Life in the big-house is already hard enough, but when you’re four women in a men’s prison, it gets so unbearably hard that there’s no time to fool around—barely have they moved into their shared cell, and they’re already planning their escape. Even in the highly-regimented world of incarceration, the ladies always make it unclear exactly who’s in charge, who wields the power, and who is tilting one side or other of the scales of justice

Vingt-décembre chroniques de l’abolition
In 1841, 12-year-old Edmond, a young slave of Mr. Ferreol Sellier-Beaumont, a landowner on Reunion Island, discovered the process of artificial fertilization of vanilla. The technical procedure he invented, simple, fast, and efficient, was a worldwide revolution in the cultivation of vanilla, and was adopted almost everywhere in the world.
