"Mohamed Leftah a signé avec Demoiselles de Numidie, un roman qui mérite d'être qualifié de chef-d'œuvre. Si l'on dit que ce livre est écrit dans une langue splendide, on n'en fait pas suffisamment mesurer l'originalité, la nécessité, la justesse constante. C'est à une sorte d'enchantement pourrissant que nous convie Mohamed Leftah. Il raconte un bordel à Casablanca avec un élan de styliste qui fait songer à Apollinaire, ou à Pierre Louÿs. Tout l'ouvrage appelle constamment à des comparaisons qui feraient rougir l'auteur, lequel rougirait donc au Caire où il vit actuellement, mais on ne connaît pas d'autre écrivain marocain de langue française qui ait fait preuve d'une originalité aussi fulgurante, aussi corrosive, mêlant la tendresse la plus épanouie à la description la plus choquante, la plus vraie des sévices sacrificiels imposés par le monde prostitutionnel" -- Salim Jay in Dictionnaire des écrivains marocains.

The acclaimed Moroccan author’s debut novel, this stunning portrait of the world of sex work describes its sordid reality with beautiful, poetic prose. Available now for the first time in English, Demoiselles of Numidia offers an intimate glimpse into the lives of young women working in a Casablanca brothel—their relationships with each other and with their pimps, their dramas, and the rare moments of happiness that bloom in this violent underbelly. Originally published in French in 1992, the novel quickly established Mohamed Leftah as one of Morocco’s great writers. It showcases the extraordinary combination of elegant language and graphic physicality, as well as the nuanced questioning of traditional gender roles, which would come to characterize his works.

The Pharaoh without a Shadow A novel by Martine Le Coz [This book is written in French.] L'épouse d'Aménophis III met au monde un fils à tête d'oeuf. Mauvais présage, disent les oracles. A la mort de son père, l'héritier proclame Dieu unique, Aton le solaire. L'Égypte tremble. A Thèbes, les prêtres implorent le jeune pharaon de préserver la multitude des dieux. Marié à Néphertiti, il bâtit la Cité de l'Horizon où il exhorte son peuple à la communion nouvelle. Les prêtres insoumis poursuivent leurs célébrations, invoquent les forces de la magie et l'ombre se profile derrière la silhouette du pharaon. The wife of Amenophis III gives birth to a son with an egg-shaped head. A bad omen, say the oracles. At his father's death, the heir proclaims a single God, Aton the sun. Egypt trembles. In Thebes, the priests plead with the young pharaoh to preserve the multitude of deities. Married to Nephertiti, he builds the City of the Horizon, where he urges his people to follow the new religion. The rebellious priests continue with their own celebrations, invoking the forces of magic and the shadow emerges behind the silhouette of the pharaoh.

Peter Sahlins’s brilliant new book reveals the remarkable and understudied “animal moment” in and around 1668 in which authors (including La Fontaine, whose Fables appeared in that year), anatomists, painters, sculptors, and especially the young Louis XIV turned their attention to nonhuman beings. At the center of the Year of the Animal was the Royal Menagerie in the gardens of Versailles, dominated by exotic and graceful birds. In the remarkable unfolding of his original and sophisticated argument, Sahlins shows how the animal bodies of the menagerie and others (such as the dogs and lambs of the first xenotransfusion experiments) were critical to a dramatic rethinking of governance, nature, and the human. The animals of 1668 helped to shift an entire worldview in France — what Sahlins calls Renaissance humanimalism — toward more modern expressions of Classical naturalism and mechanism. In the wake of 1668 came the debasement of animals and the strengthening of human animality, including in Descartes’s animal-machine, highly contested during the Year of the Animal. At the same time, Louis XIV and his intellectual servants used the animals of Versailles to develop and then to transform the symbolic language of French absolutism. Louis XIV came to adopt a model of sovereignty after 1668 where his absolute authority is represented in manifold ways with the bodies of animals and justified by the bestial nature of his human subjects. 1668: The Year of the Animal in France explores and reproduces the king’s animal collections — in printed text, weaving, poetry, and engraving, all seen from a unique interdisciplinary perspective. Sahlins brings the animals of 1668 together and to life as he observes them critically in their native habitats — within the animal palace itself by Louis Le Vau, the paintings and tapestries of Charles Le Brun, the garden installations of André Le Nôtre, the literary work of Charles Perrault and the natural history of his brother Claude, the poetry of Madeleine de Scudéry, the philosophy of René Descartes, the engravings of Sébastien Leclerc, the trans_fusion experiments of Jean Denis, and others. The author joins the non_human and human agents of 1668 — panthers and painters, swans and scientists, weasels and weavers — in a learned and sophisticated treatment that will engage scholars and students of early modern France and Europe and readers broadly interested in the subject of animals in human history.

Winner of the Franco-British Society Book Prize 2019 'The ultimate biography of the Sun King' Simon Sebag Montefiore Louis XIV dominated his age. He extended France's frontiers into Netherlands and Germany, and established colonies overseas. The stupendous palace he built at Versailles became the envy of monarchs all over Europe. In his palaces, Louis encouraged dancing, hunting, music and gambling. He loved conversation, especially with women: the power of women in Louis's life and reign is a particular theme of this book. Louis was obsessed by the details of government but the cost of building palaces and waging continuous wars devastated the country's finances and helped set it on the path to revolution. Nevertheless, by his death, he had helped make his grandson king of Spain, where his descendants still reign, and France had taken essentially the shape it has today. King of the World is the most comprehensive and up-to-date biography of this hypnotic, flawed figure in English. It draws on all the latest research to paint a convincing and compelling portrait of a man who, three hundred years after his death, still epitomises the idea of le grand monarque.
