It's Christmas time in Pinehurst, Kentucky. The town is preparing for the annual Christmas Festival, when an unexpected visitor arrives, saving a child who falls into the river. Josh seems to have some remarkable abilities, including stretching wood and multiplying food. But he is also changing some of the residents. Everyone sees Josh differently, from the local sheriff who believes he is an escaped parolee, to his landlady who sees a resemblance to her late husband. Is he a Christmas miracle, an alien, or just a trouble-maker? James Bishop's new book The Dissident is a deep look into how we view ourselves, others around us, and reality itself.

Le combat d'un homme pour la liberté de la presse En 2018, après avoir été victime d’une tentative d’enlèvement et d’assassinat dans son pays d’origine, le journaliste d’investigation Taha Siddiqui trouve refuge en France. À travers ce roman graphique il revient sur sa jeunesse, son parcours et son combat pour la liberté de la presse. Quand les parents de Taha quittent le Pakistan pour l’Arabie Saoudite c’est dans l’espoir d’une vie meilleure. Au pays de La Mecque, le quotidien du petit Taha est déjà régi par un islam rigoriste mais quand son père se radicalise, les choses se corsent. C’en est fini des coloriages de Batman et Superman, place à des livres moins profanes. Désormais les super-héros de Taha seront les leaders religieux ! En pleine Guerre du Golfe, la police des mœurs commence à sévir et bientôt il faudra aussi renoncer au foot de rue. C’est en l’an 2000 qu’une brèche s’ouvre... La famille se réinstalle alors au Pakistan où l’armée a pris le pouvoir. À l’âge de 16 ans, Taha rêve de faire des études d’arts, mais son père a d’autres projets pour ce fils qui rechigne à suivre le droit chemin. En attendant, Taha va découvrir une Société faite d’interdits que la jeunesse s’efforce de contourner. Jamais il ne s’est senti aussi libre malgré l’insécurité ambiante. Les attentats du 11 septembre vont profondément l’impacter, tout comme son entrée à l’université. Après avoir connu l’école coranique et la censure, Taha va progressivement s’émanciper et trouver sa voie... il sera journaliste. Sa détermination, sa foi en son métier et son engagement politique feront de lui une cible comme tant d’autres condisciples. Dissident Club retrace avec un humour libérateur et décomplexé le quotidien d’un jeune homme aux prises avec les fondamentalistes religieux ainsi que son combat pour un accès à l’information et la liberté d’expression. Coécrit et mis en scène par Hubert Maury, ancien diplomate, l’ouvrage offre une vision limpide du Pakistan et une réflexion sur la religion, ses dérives et les fractures d’une communauté. Un album en partenariat avec Reporters sans frontières et France Info.

Kessler challenges the idea that the worlds of media and journalism have ever conformed to a 'free marketplace' image. This present volume investigates a handful of the many fringe groups who, denied access to the mainstream, started marketplaces of their own. Journalistic efforts in six groups are explored: Black Americans; utopians and communitarians; feminists; non-English speaking immigrants; populists, anarchists, socialists, communists; and pacifists, non-interventionists, and resisters from World Wars I and II. The result is an impressive study which shows that such groups have a diversity of origins, and a tradition which spans one and a half centuries.

“A feast for serious fiction readers.” —Wendy Smith, The Washington Post “A dead-serious, dead-funny, no-he-didn't marvel.” —Joshua Cohen, author of The Netanyahus A thrilling, witty, and slyly original Cold War mystery about a ragtag group of Jewish refuseniks in Moscow. On his wedding day in 1976, Viktor Moroz stumbles upon a murder scene: two gay men, one of them a U.S. official, have been axed to death in Moscow. Viktor, a Jewish refusenik, is stuck in the Soviet Union because the government has denied his application to leave for Israel; he sits “in refusal” alongside his wife and their group of intellectuals, Jewish and not. But the KGB spots Viktor leaving the murder scene. Plucked off the street, he’s given a choice: find the murderer or become the suspect of convenience. His deadline is nine days later, when Henry Kissinger will be arriving in Moscow. Unsolved ax murders, it seems, aren’t good for politics. A whip-smart, often hilarious Cold War thriller, Paul Goldberg’s The Dissident explores what it means to survive in the face of impossible choices and monumental consequences. To help solve the case, Viktor ropes in his community, which includes his banned-text-distributing wife, a hard-drinking sculptor, a Russian priest of Jewish heritage, and a visiting American intent on reliving World War II heroics. As Viktor struggles to determine whom to trust, he’s forced to question not only the KGB’s murky motives but also those of his fellow refuseniks—and the man he admires above all: Kissinger himself. Immersive, unpredictable, and always ax-sharp, The Dissident is Cold War intrigue at its most inventive. It is an uncompromising look at sacrifice, community, and the scars of history and identity, from an expert storyteller.

The nearly forgotten story of Soviet dissidents It has been nearly three decades since the collapse of the Soviet Union—enough time for the role that the courageous dissidents ultimately contributed to the communist system's collapse to have been largely forgotten, especially in the West. This book brings to life, for contemporary readers, the often underground work of the men and women who opposed the regime and authored dissident texts, known as samizdat, that exposed the tyrannies and weaknesses of the Soviet state both inside and outside the country. Peter Reddaway spent decades studying the Soviet Union and got to know these dissidents and their work, publicizing their writings in the West and helping some of them to escape the Soviet Union and settle abroad. In this memoir he captures the human costs of the repression that marked the Soviet state, focusing in particular on Pavel Litvinov, Larisa Bogoraz, General Petro Grigorenko, Anatoly Marchenko, Alexander Podrabinek, Vyacheslav Bakhmin, and Andrei Sinyavsky. His book describes their courage but also puts their work in the context of the power struggles in the Kremlin, where politicians competed with and even succeeded in ousting one another. Reddaway's book takes readers beyond Moscow, describing politics and dissident work in other major Russian cities as well as in the outlying republics.

That means traveling hundreds of miles by train to the Romanian border. With the help of some young Muscovites, Derek begins a perilous journey.
