French cuisine for today's kitchens. An evocative, intimate food monograph by the duo behind one of the most acclaimed restaurant collections in France - the Michelin starred restaurant group that has moved French cuisine from the ceremony and grandeur of haute cuisine to a lighter, fresher and more approachable style of cooking.

Its highly inspiring recipes demonstrate how they have moved French cuisine away from the ceremony and grandeur of haute cuisine. By introducing an air of simplicity and modernity to their cooking, they gained a legion of admirers, not only for their much-praised Parisian restaurant Septime but for their work in all four of their premises featured in the book. With a preface by acclaimed chef Alain Passard and natural winemaker Thierry Puzelat.

Handsome, worldly and intelligent, Solal holds a position of enviable power in 1930s Geneva. But as Under-Secretary-General of the League of Nations, he has become bitterly disillusioned by international affairs and the self-serving people who surround him. His one hope for redemption is through love - and he embarks on the audacious seduction of Ariane, the beautiful, daydreaming wife of a dull-witted, social-climbing employee of the League. In Her Lover, Albert Cohen created a world humming with the many vivid and eccentric voices of its wonderfully observed characters. Brilliantly inventive and baroquely detailed, this magnificent novel is a merciless satire of middle-class manners and ambitions, and of the Byzantine machinations of global politics.

À Paris, Anvers ou Brême, Atelier Kempe Thill travaille sur la typologie de la villa urbaine. Cette forme architecturale aujourd'hui très répandue dans l'Ouest de l'Europe est une émanation de l'urbanisme allemand des années 80, et constitue un croisement entre les grandes villas de quartier d'ambassade édifiées au XIXe et les programmes d'habitat collectif. Ce livre présente les projets de l'agence en Europe et tente une définition des implications culturelles et des standards architecturaux de ce type de bâtiment.
La Sainte Chapelle est née de la volonté de Saint-Louis, qui voulait offrir à sa collection de reliques un joyau digne de l'abriter. Elle offre au visiteur l'éblouissement de sa parure de vitrail, ce « paradis retrouvé », « ce rideau de verre, cette confession ardente faite de couleurs pulvérisées et de points lumineux » qu'évoque Paul Claudel dans L¿¿il écoute. Autrefois abritée au coeur du palais de la Cité, aujourd'hui égarée au milieu du Palais de justice, elle reste un objet architectural unique, monument du XIIIe siècle que Viollet-le-Duc remit en valeur six siècles plus tard.
