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.

Class action: Kenya gets a new president

Pour ne pas que les voix s’effacent, Sophie a gardé tous les messages du répondeur téléphonique de ses 20 ans. Des centaines de messages qui racontent les années 90, les amis, les amours et le temps qui passe... Désormais réalisatrice TV et radio, Sophie commente un montage dynamique de toutes ces voix. Elle revit ses vingt ans, ses histoires d’amour et ses débuts en radio… La saga s’achève à la veille de ses 40 ans, âge de la (pseudo) maturité professionnelle et amoureuse. Un formidable hommage aux pouvoirs du sonore et à la mémoire des voix, un documentaire exceptionnel à la recherche du temps perdu.

Episode 5
En 1996, Sophie vit une nouvelle aventure radiophonique, celle de la création du Mouv’, la future "radio jeune" de Radio France. Un projet fou pour lequel on réunit 15 jeunes professionnels de la radio. 15 jeunes enfermés dans un studio jour et nuit, tous en pleine forme et en pleine montée d’hormones. Une aventure dans laquelle, comme toujours, vont venir s’entremêler amour du son et liaisons dangereuses, et obliger Sophie à se poser la seule question qui vaille : est-il possible de rester rock’n’roll ad vitam ?

Enregistrements : 1989-1994, 2022 - Mise en ondes & mix : Charlie Marcelet - Texte, voix, réalisation : Sophie Simonot - Illustration : Quentin Faucompré - Production : ARTE Radio

Nico Rosberg's shock retirement has just kicked off Formula 1's silly season to fill THE throne that will be left vacant by our reigning World Champion in 2017. Why the hell did Rosberg quit? We'd have loved to see him defend his title against Lewis Hamilton. But is this exactly why he quit?

We consider his move 'ballsy', given that quitting at the top is not everyone's cup of tea. But has he made sport suddenly look like a sales target? We discuss this in our special episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, also our third of the week! (Thank you Nico for making us work this hard!)

Who will Mercedes replace Nico Rosberg with? And will Rosberg's retirement make them go slow on Hamilton's impending sanction for his disobedience in Abu Dhabi? Talk of Rosberg stealing Hamilton's thunder twice over in the last few days. 

Social media is abuzz with suggestions that Fernando Alonso should leave Mclaren for Mercedes and Formula 1 should re-live the epic Hamilton-Alonso story that ended abruptly in 2007. Apart from Alonso, we discuss a string of other names only to add to Mercedes' confusion. Irrespective of everyone's efforts, it'll be Bernie Ecclestone's efforts that will count the most to ensure that Mercedes hire a driver who can consistently challenge Hamilton in 2017.
