Maigrir avec la méthode Forking
Lose Weight with the Forking diet
Carine Bernardi, Dr Jean-Michel Borys, Ivan Gavriloff
Lose up to 1 kg per week!
Losing weight without endangering
one’s
health
is
possible
with
“Forking”. This revolutionary method
is inspired from chronobiology, and is
supported
by
the
scientific
community.
The principle is that it is possible to
eat any kind of food during the day,
but for dinner it has to be prepared
and eaten only with a fork. In fact
the composition of the dinner is
essential because the body tends to
store more at night.
Also, eating with a fork means eating
slower and reaching satiety quicker.
Includes the best “Forking” foods and
80 “Forking” recipes.
344 pages – February 2012

some have the optimism gene, others
the pessimism or anxiety gene.
Azzopardi explains how to get rid of
negative feelings such as jealousy and
the best foods to help beat the blues.

HISTORY
Le Code d’Esther
The Esther Code
Bernard Benyamin & Yohan Perez
A thrilling investigation on a
century old prophecy.
The authors of this essay have made an
amazing discovery: there is a secret
code hidden in the Book of Esther (in
the Torah) that predicted the events of
the Holocaust!
Their research was prompted by the last
words of Julius Streicher, one of the 10
high ranking Nazi officers being tried at
Nuremberg. As he was about to be
hanged he cried out: “Purim 1946!”. He
was referring to the Jewish holiday
Purim, which celebrates the escape by
the Jews from extermination at the
hands of Haman, an ancient Persian
government official. At the end of the
Purim story, Haman is hanged, as are
his ten sons.
The narrator of this investigation
analyzes the Book of Esther in great
detail and travels all over the world in
search of clues.
Part Da Vinci Code, part Indiana Jones
and the raiders of the Lost Ark, this
investigation into this century old
prophecy is a page turner, but in which
everything is true!
Bernard Benyamin is a journalist and
television producer. He is the co-creator
of the very famous French investigative
journalism program Envoyé Spécial.
Yohan Perez is a producer and director
for French television.

Love and sexuality are the kinds of fields where false

simplistic.
Customs are changing as well as personalities,

Baïonnettes aux crayons
Pencils for Bayonets
Jean-Pierre Auclert
Caricatures were instrumental
in the propaganda of all the
countries involved in
World War I. Each side used
them to picture the other in the
worst possible way in order to
rally public opinion.
This work collects cartoons and
drawings from all of the
countries involved: France,
Germany, England, the United
States, Italy, Russia…
These caricatures, and their
accompanying text, give a new
perspective on the Great War

These prints present Mary Stuart,

in

These prints were hidden in the

Our everyday life is ruled by the inventions

miracles from the start of the elevator, or the
fountain pen.
Les Grandes courtisanes
The Greatest Courtesans
A courtesan was far more than a pretty lady
of the royal Court. They were clearly
prostitutes. Society has never shied away bad
jokes or insults regarding their status.
But who were they really? What do we know
about them? Do they deserve to be the object
of ridicule?
The author of this history of the courtesan
goes back in history from Ancient Greece to
the beginning of the 20th century and draws a
portrait of the world’s better known
courtesans, be they real or imaginary. The
book is written both with objectivity and
romanticism, which makes for fascinating
reading.

Until the end of the Second World War, travel by

disasters. Some are just the victim of material
damage while others, unfortunately, make
thousands of victims.
From the Titanic to the Normandie and Lusitania,
all the greatest shipwrecks are brought to life in
this book.
