Listen to an excerpt of André Aciman's OUT OF EGYPT, read by  Edoardo Ballerini.

An all new recording of Out of Egypt, André Aciman's acclaimed memoir, narrated by Edoardo Ballerini!

From the New York Times bestselling author of Call Me By Your Name, Out of Egypt is a richly colored memoir chronicling the exploits of a flamboyant Jewish family, from its bold arrival in cosmopolitan Alexandria to its defeated exodus three generations later.

In elegant and witty prose, André Aciman introduces us to the marvelous eccentrics who shaped his life - Uncle Vili, the strutting daredevil, soldier, salesman, and spy; the two grandmothers, the Princess and the Saint, who gossip in six languages; Aunt Flora, the German refugee who warns that Jews lose everything "at least twice in their lives."

And through it all, we come to know a boy who, even as he longs for a wider world, does not want to be led, forever, out of Egypt.

History tends to cast the early years of America in a glow of camaraderie when there were, in fact ,many conflicts between the Founding Fathers - none more important than the one between George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Their disagreement centered on the highest, most original public office created by the Constitutional Convention: the presidency. It also involved the nation's foreign policy, the role of merchants and farmers in a republic, and the durability of the union. At its root were two sharply different visions of the nation's future.

Acclaimed historian Thomas Fleming examines how the differing characters and leadership styles of Washington and Jefferson shaped two opposing views of the presidency - and the nation. This clash profoundly influenced the next two centuries of America's history and persists in the present day.

The Great Divide by Thomas Fleming, Narrated by David Rapkin

From Alexandra Christo, the author of To Kill a Kingdom, comes Princess of Souls, a Rapunzel-inspired YA fantasy romance about a teen witch groomed to steal souls for an immortal king and the reckless, rebellious boy to whom her fate is tied.

For 16 years, Selestra has been trapped in her tower on the Floating Mountain, preparing to take her mother’s place as the king's witch, who foretells deaths in the Festival of Predictions. Outrunning your fate earns a wish and the chance to steal the king’s immortality. But die and your soul is forfeit. And though thousands have tried, nobody has ever beaten death.

A soldier in the king's army, Nox is an unlikely candidate for the Festival, but, driven by revenge, he is determined to steal the king’s immortality and kill the entirety of his court, starting with Selestra.

Yet when Selestra touches Nox in her very first prediction, their fates become entwined, and death seeks to take both their souls. Only by working together can they survive long enough to escape the dark fate and the immortal king that now hunts them.

Princess of Souls Chapter 3 by Alexandra Christo, Narrated by Suzy Jackson & Will Collyer

Le dirty talking ou dirty talk : en français, le parler sale. Les trucs un peu hard qu'on (se) dit au lit. La sexualité étant un espace hautement culturel, on a même réussi à codifier le dérapage – il s'agit d'être explicite mais pas trop, de se dire des cochonneries mais pas trop. Maïa Mazaurette donne quelques conseils de bon sens illustrés de sons réjouissants.
