L Platers: How to support your teen daughter on the road to adulthood
by Madonna King'In this insightful and practical exploration of female young adulthood, Madonna offers a remarkable way of understanding and sharing the realities of growing up for so many of our daughters.' - Dr Justin CoulsonA must-read guide for parents of teenage girls that explores what our girls need us to know in order to support them through the unprecedented pressures of growing up in today's world.The world is a very different place from two years ago. And the impact on our 16-, 17- and 18-year-old girls is huge. At one of the most critical times in their development - an age when they're ready to spread their wings and look to the future - they have had to deal with enormous disruption and dislocation, and come to terms with living life from their bedrooms. The long stints of remote learning and the anxiety of at-home exams has compounded with the ever-present pressure of the ATAR and worries around friendships and relationships, who they want to be, gender identity, alcohol, vaping, and sex, body image and mental health. Self-harm and eating disorders have risen dramatically. For school-leavers, the uncertainty around university study and the jobs market only adds to the heavy toll.To support our girls, we need to understand the pressures this generation is under by listening to what worries them and what they need - and journalist and social commentator Madonna King has done just that. Having consulted 1000 young women, along with parents, senior educators, and health care professionals in her research for this book, L Platers delivers the answers we need as parents to help our girls on the road to adulthood.'Madonna tells us the truth about what Australian tween and teen girls are feeling and thinking. Best of all, she equips parents with useful tips on what our girls need from us and wish we knew.' - Rebecca Sparrow, author of Ask Me Anything

L'Assommoir
by Emile Zola Robert Lethbridge Margaret MauldonThe seventh novel in the Rougon-Macquart cycle, L'Assommoir (1877) is the story of a woman's struggle for happiness in working-class Paris. At the center of the story stands Gervaise, who starts her own laundry and for a time makes a success of it. But her husband soon squanders her earnings in the Assommoir, a local drinking spot, and gradually the pair sink into poverty and squalor.

L'altra
by Marta RojalsAmb el teló de fons de l’actualitat més omnipresent i fent gala de l’estil fresc i personal, el sentit de l’observació afinat i la bona orella per al diàleg que ja van captivar a Primavera, estiu, etcètera, Marta Rojals desplega present i passat com un mecanisme exacte al voltant d’una protagonista plena d’arestes i ofereix una novel·la extraordinària sobre els secrets, les relacions i la necessitat d’oblidar. L’Anna, Annona, Nona. Dissenyadora gràfica per accident, autònoma per obligació, introspectiva, sempre calculant, equilibrant la balança, posant el comptador a zero per continuar endavant. I en Manel, Nel, Nelet, el seu company, tan a prop i tan lluny, tanta necessitat i tanta ràbia soterrada. En un context en què tot trontolla, és fàcil que les coses canviïn de sobte, i a la Barcelona actual això no és una excepció: la crisi que ofega, una inquilina imprevista, una família que obliga, una transformació vital que s’imposa. Com serà que l’Anna pugui equilibrar les coses, recalcular la trajectòria, continuar amb la seva vida cuirassada? Si és que pot, perquè aquests no són els únics canvis inesperats que s’acosten.

L'autisme, on en guérit.....!
by Marcus Pfeiffer Traducteur Noury BakrimCet excellent ouvrage peut être considéré comme le livre de référence à consulter par les parents, les familles et les thérapeutes aux prises avec l'autisme. En plus d'un optimisme et d'un engagement passionnés, il nous livre un tour d'horizon dans les dédales théoriques, pratiques et thérapeutiques des causes, effets et espoirs permis. Comme pour joindre l'utile à l'agréable ou l'agréable à l'utile, il propose les soins de son établissement thérapeutique en Andalousie (Espagne) - la meilleure terre où un autiste puisse respirer le boheur et s'améliorer- et démontre l'efficacité de leurs approches basées sur le traitement intégrant des régimes alimentaires, du sport/activité, du cupping (acupuncture par coupelles) et du traitement des comportements problématiques ainsi que les concomitants associés. J'ai eu autant du plaisir à le traduire et je le recommande à tous les lecteurs concernés, j'en suis moi-même un étant le papa d'un enfant autiste, Daniel (11 ans). Bravo.
L'écrivaine morte: roman contemporain
by Núria AñóAnna est une écrivaine d’un âge moyen qui a élevé sa fille toute seule. Dans le présent du roman, Berta a grandi et ses doutes aussi : à l’anxiété de connaître son père qu’elle a seulement vu sur une photo vient s’ajouter sa relation fragile avec son fiancé Hans marquée par une crise. Hans, quant à lui, travaille dans une usine. Clara, sa sœur, est une éternelle jeune fille incomprise obsédée par un type qui conduit une moto jaune. Cependant, c’est d’abord l’histoire d’Anna Flieder. Lorsque celle-ci choisit d’entamer l’écriture d’un livre au ton plus biographique, elle est aussitôt touchée par l’inspiration qui prend la forme du même homme qu’elle avait abandonné il y a des années de cela. « C’est dans l’histoire elle-même que l’on peut observer le processus de création de la femme de lettres (…) Ce roman est destiné à ceux qui aiment lire et se laissent absorber par la lecture car il suscite l’imagination donnant ainsi lieu à plusieurs intuitions » – La mañana « Le roman l’écrivaine morte est ainsi une invitation à tous ceux qui apprécient la manière par laquelle la littérature se réfléchit sur elle-même dans une œuvre littéraire. En outre, il offre à son lecteur la possibilité de cheminer sur les traces d’autres personnages dotés de sentiments qui apparaissent dans des situations faites pour provoquer en nous une identification inévitable. (…) Plaisir délectable d’un texte littéraire qui se distingue par un langage métaphorique en suggérant des images révélatrices de scènes quotidiennes que la vie, pleine de ses multiples possibles, nous empêche de voir » – Dre. Alexandra Santos Pinheiro, Resonancias literarias, n° 153 « Ce livre raconte l’histoire d’Anna, une écrivaine, son monde et la vie des personnages qui l’entourent. Anna vit sa vie littéraire comme

Is it a mission of justice—or a quest for vengeance?Cody Bonner, identical twin, daughter of a major movie star, a teenage street kid in Los Angeles, a bank robber at nineteen, and a prison inmate at twenty. When she&’s released after six years, she returns to L.A. with a purpose: to learn the truth about her sister Julie, who washed up on a Malibu beach a year earlier.

Using bootleg skills she learned in prison, Cody begins to peel back the layers of mystery.

As she homes in on her mother&’s powerful agent, Harry Groban, a man with ugly accusations of abuse in his past, Cody becomes more deeply enmeshed in the life she left behind as a teenager: her mother&’s star power, her former classmates-turned-producers, glitzy parties, and a handsome former love who knows all the players. Is Groban at the center? Could there be others who had a hand in Julie&’s murder? As Cody gets closer to the truth, another ghost from her criminal past is stalking her—one that could put her back in prison for years.
