Yet despite decades of  appeals, mass street protests, petition campaigns, and peaceful demonstrations, we are still facing a booming fossil fuel industry, rising  seas, rising emission levels, and a rising temperature. With the stakes  so high, why haven't we moved beyond peaceful protest? \r\nIn this lyrical manifesto, noted climate scholar (and saboteur of  SUV tires and coal mines) Andreas Malm makes an impassioned call for the  climate movement to escalate its tactics in the face of ecological  collapse. We need, he argues, to force fossil fuel extraction to  stop--with our actions, with our bodies, and by defusing and destroying  its tools. We need, in short, to start blowing up some oil pipelines.\r\n  Offering a counter-history of how mass popular change has occurred,  from the democratic revolutions overthrowing dictators to the movement  against apartheid and for women's suffrage, Malm argues that the  strategic acceptance of property destruction and violence has been the  only route for revolutionary change. In a braided narrative that moves from the forests of Germany and the streets of London to the deserts of Iraq, Malm offers us an incisive discussion of the politics and ethics of pacifism and violence, democracy and social change, strategy and tactics, and a movement compelled by both the heart and the mind. Here is how we fight in a world on fire.","authors":["Andreas Malm"],"category_codes":["9000000","9050000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/259\/9781839760259_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/259\/9781839760259_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/259\/9781839760259_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"16,40 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"5 janvier 2021","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Andreas Malm \u2014 Verso","translator":null,"weight":182,"page_count":208,"readership":null,"editor":"Verso","price":1640,"published_date":"2021-01-04T23:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9781839760259\/how-to-blow-up-a-pipeline-learning-to-fight-in-a-world-on-fire"},{"id":"9782070329441","title":"L'av\u00e8nement du Roi-Soleil (1661)","description":"Le 9 mars 1661, Mazarin, Premier ministre qui gouvernait pratiquement seul le royaume de France depuis 1643, meurt.

To rule as a Caesar was to stand as an actor upon the great stage of the world. No biography invites us into the lives of the Caesars more vividly or intimately than that by Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus, written from the centre of Rome and power, in AD 121.\r\nPlacing each Caesar in the context of the generations that had gone before, and connecting personality with policy, Suetonius injected flesh and blood into their stories, which continue to inform how we understand the drama of power today. Their shortfalls, foreign policy crises and sex scandals are laid bare; we are shown their tastes, their foibles, their eccentricities; and we sit at their tables and enter their bedrooms, resulting in a series of biographies mediated through the lives of the Caesars themselves.\r\nThat Rome lives more vividly in people's imagination than any other ancient empire owes an inordinate amount to Suetonius, and now award-winning author and translator Tom Holland brings us even closer in a new, spellbinding translation. Giving a deeper understanding of the personal lives of the Caesars and of how they inevitably informed what happened across the vast expanse of empire, The Lives of the Caesars is an astonishing, immersive experience of a time and culture at once familiar and utterly alien to our own.","authors":["Su\u00e9tone","Tom Holland"],"category_codes":["9000000","9050000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/386\/9780141980386_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/386\/9780141980386_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/386\/9780141980386_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"16,40 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"26 mars 2026","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Su\u00e9tone, Tom Holland \u2014 Penguin Uk","translator":"Tom Holland","weight":328,"page_count":448,"readership":null,"editor":"Penguin Uk","price":1640,"published_date":"2026-03-25T23:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780141980386\/the-lives-of-the-caesars"},{"id":"9780141993096","title":"France on trial : the case of Marshal Petain","description":"Winner of the Duff Cooper Prize 2023\r\nA Telegraph Book of the Year\r\nA Times, Spectator and Prospect Book of the Year\r\nOne of the great contemporary historians of France on one of the most controversial periods of twentieth-century French history\r\nFew images more shocked the French population during the Occupation than the photograph of Marshal Philippe P\u00e9tain - the great French hero of the First World War - shaking the hand of Hitler on 20 October 1940. In a radio speech after this meeting, P\u00e9tain told the French people that he was 'entering down the road of collaboration'. He ended with the words: 'This is my policy. My ministers are responsible to me. It is I alone who will be judged by History.' Five years later, in July 1945, the hour of judgement - if not yet the judgement of History - arrived. P\u00e9tain was brought before a specially created High Court to answer for his conduct between the signing of the armistice with Germany in June 1940 and the Liberation of France in August 1944.\r\nJulian Jackson uses P\u00e9tain's three-week trial as a lens through which to examine the central crisis of twentieth-century French history - the defeat of 1940, the signing of the armistice and Vichy's policy of collaboration - what the main prosecutor Mornet called 'four years to erase from our history'. As head of the Vichy regime in the Second, P\u00e9tain became one of France's most notorious public figures, and the lightening-rod for collective guilt and retribution immediately after the Second World War. In France on Trial Jackson blends politics and personal drama to explore how different national factions sought to try to claim the past, or establish their interpretation of it, as a way of claiming the present and future.","authors":["Julian Jackson"],"category_codes":["9000000","9050000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/096\/9780141993096_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/096\/9780141993096_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/096\/9780141993096_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"16,00 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"13 juin 2024","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Julian Jackson \u2014 Penguin Uk","translator":null,"weight":500,"page_count":480,"readership":null,"editor":"Penguin Uk","price":1600,"published_date":"2024-06-12T22:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":["9780241450253"],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780141993096\/france-on-trial-the-case-of-marshal-petain"},{"id":"9780241189450","title":"Who rules the world?","description":"'If I were a voter in Britain, I would vote for [Jeremy Corbyn]' - Noam Chomsky, 2017       Who Rules the World  is the essential account of geopolitics right now - including an afterword on President Donald Trump        Noam Chomsky: philosopher, political writer, fearless activist.

It was the most direct way for them to reach the capital - and an extraordinarily reckless plan after the disaster that had taken place there three decades earlier. Russian occupation of the plant had begun. It would last thirty-five days.\r\nClosely reported and narrated from multiple perspectives, this is the story of the Ukrainians who were held hostage and worked shifts for weeks instead of days to spare the world a new nuclear accident. We meet Valentyn Heiko, the foreman who had also been there for the clean-up of the Chernobyl accident in 1986 and turned sixty during the occupation; plant workers who found a way to celebrate International Women's Day despite all odds; Russian officers who had no knowledge of nuclear reactors; and four stalkers who were caught in the middle and stood in for the overworked cook.\r\nGripping and unforgettable, Chernobyl Roulette sounds the alarm about the dangers of nuclear sites in an unprecedented time, when plant workers are left to fight on their own while the world holds its breath. In a book that reads like a thriller, Serhii Plokhy tells a remarkable story about human nature, uncertainty and courage.","authors":["Serhii Plokhy"],"category_codes":["9000000","9050000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/053\/9781802065053_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/053\/9781802065053_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/053\/9781802065053_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"16,40 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"1er mai 2025","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Serhii Plokhy \u2014 Penguin Books Uk","translator":null,"weight":181,"page_count":240,"readership":null,"editor":"Penguin Books Uk","price":1640,"published_date":"2025-04-30T22:00:00.000000Z","support":"Poche","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":["9780241681251"],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9781802065053\/chernobyl-roulette-a-war-story"},{"id":"9780300283259","title":"A Little History of the World","description":"The internationally bestselling guide to the extraordinary human story, for the curious of all ages\r\n \u00a0\r\n The world has existed for over 4 billion years, but humanity arrived much more recently.

By the twentieth century much of Asia might have come under Western rule after centuries of warfare, but its intellectual, artistic and spiritual influence was fighting back.\r\n\r\nThe Light of Asia is a wonderfully varied and entertaining history of the many ways in which Asia has shaped European and North American culture over centuries of tangled, dynamic encounters, and the central importance of this vexed, often confused relationship. From Marco Polo onwards Asia has been both a source of genuine fascination and equally genuine failures of comprehension. China, India and Japan were all acknowledged to be both great civilizations and in crude ways seen as superseded by the West. From Chicago to Calcutta, and from antiquity to the new millennium, this is a rich, involving story of misunderstandings and sincere connection, of inspiration and falsehood, of geniuses, adventurers and con-men.\r\n\r\nChristopher Harding's captivating gallery of people and places celebrates Asia's impact on the West in all its variety.","authors":["Christopher Harding"],"category_codes":["6000000","6010000","6010400"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/444\/9780241434444_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/444\/9780241434444_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/444\/9780241434444_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"42,00 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"24 janvier 2024","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Christopher Harding \u2014 PENGUIN UK","translator":null,"weight":901,"page_count":450,"readership":null,"editor":"PENGUIN UK","price":4200,"published_date":"2024-01-23T23:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780241434444\/the-light-of-asia-a-history-of-western-fascination-with-the-east"},{"id":"9780241989319","title":"Against White Feminism","description":"Personal, provocative and powerfully persuasive - an essential guide to what white feminism is, why it matters, and how we can put an end to it\r\n'Thoughtful and provocative...

In the past 200 years, it has paved the way for women to advance economically, increasing their safety and their power in society, and advocating for their needs and experiences. But not for all women.\r\nIf you are poor, if you are an immigrant to the West or (even worse) don't live here at all, and above all if your skin is not white, the door to mainstream feminism has been shut against you from day one. This is not oversight or an accident. It is an active and sustained strategy to advance white women at the expense of everyone else. And what makes this strategy especially dangerous - and especially effective - is that most white people have no idea they are participating in it.\r\nAttorney and activist Rafia Zakaria shines a spotlight on this urgent issue, revealing the fingerprints of white supremacy all over the feminist movement: from early suffragette campaigns right up to the divided and profoundly unequal world we inherit today. And she issues a powerful call to every reader to join her in building a new kind of feminism, lighting the path to emancipation for all.","authors":["Rafia Zakaria"],"category_codes":["9000000","9050000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/319\/9780241989319_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/319\/9780241989319_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/319\/9780241989319_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"17,50 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"8 septembre 2022","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Rafia Zakaria \u2014 Penguin Uk","translator":null,"weight":200,"page_count":208,"readership":null,"editor":"Penguin Uk","price":1750,"published_date":"2022-09-07T22:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780241989319\/against-white-feminism"},{"id":"9781399408745","title":"Poet, Mystic, Widow, Wife : The Extraordinary Lives of Medieval Women","description":"'A fascinating book about four women - it tells us so much about their world, and about our own...

How did they think about sex, death and God? Could they live independent lives? And how can we hear their stories?\r\n Few women had the luxury of writing down their thoughts and feelings during medieval times. But remarkably, there are at least four extraordinary women who did. Marie de France, a poet; Julian of Norwich, a mystic and anchoress; Christine de Pizan, a widow and court writer; and Margery Kempe, a \"no-good wife\". In their own ways these four very different writers pushed back against the misogyny of the period. Each broke new ground in women's writing and left us incredible insights into the world of medieval life and politics.\r\nThis mesmerizing book is an unforgettably lively and immersive journey into the everyday lives of medieval women through the stories of these four iconic women writers, some of which are retold here for general readers for the first time.","authors":["Hetta Howes"],"category_codes":["9000000","9050000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/img\/book-placeholder.png","medium":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/img\/book-placeholder.png","thumbnail":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/img\/book-placeholder.png"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"18,80 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"12 f\u00e9vrier 2026","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Hetta Howes \u2014 Bloomsbury UK","translator":null,"weight":240,"page_count":320,"readership":null,"editor":"Bloomsbury UK","price":1880,"published_date":"2026-02-11T23:00:00.000000Z","support":"Poche","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9781399408745\/poet-mystic-widow-wife-the-extraordinary-lives-of-medieval-women"},{"id":"9781405974233","title":"A Liveable Future is Possible","description":"A series of interviews with Noam Chomsky, the world's greatest living public intellectual, about the pressing issues of our time\r\n'One of the greatest, most radical public thinkers of our time' Arundhati Roy\r\nIn this illuminating collection of interviews, Noam Chomsky shares his insights on the pressing challenges facing humanity.

Mariam felt pretty sure she didn't know a single Muslim woman who would describe herself that way. Why was she hearing about Muslim women from people who were demonstrably neither Muslim nor female? Taking one of the most politicized and misused words associated with Muslim women and Islamophobia, It's Not About the Burqa has something to say: twenty Muslim women speaking up for themselves. Here are essays about the hijab and wavering faith, about love and divorce, about queer identity, about sex, about the twin threats of a disapproving community and a racist country, and about how Islam and feminism go hand in hand. Funny, warm, sometimes sad, and often angry, each of these essays is a passionate declaration, and each essay is calling time on the oppression, the lazy stereotyping, the misogyny and the Islamophobia.

By 2023, he had become a dangerous warlord - and also one of Putin's chief rivals in Russia's tumultuous political climate, exiled after leading an attempted coup, and  shortly after killed in a mysterious plane crash.\r\nBut what is the truth about this enigmatic figure, his role in the war with Ukraine, and the chaos unleashed across Russia by his turn against Putin? And, in the aftermath of his death, what is next for Russia in the new stage of late Putinism that Prigozhin's life forged?\r\nIn a compelling tale that unravels a complex web of power, betrayal and recrimination, Downfall delves into the profound impact of Prigozhin on the heart and soul of a nation at a crossroads. Drawing on years of research, this book traces the rise of Russia's most prominent non-state actor and examines the political climate that propelled a convicted gangster with no government office to the formidable role he came to occupy. An essential story of Russia's recent history, Downfall is also a compelling insight into its likely future.","authors":["Mark Galeotti","Anna Arutunyan"],"category_codes":["9000000","9050000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/382\/9781529927382_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/382\/9781529927382_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/382\/9781529927382_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"16,40 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"12 juin 2025","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Mark Galeotti, Anna Arutunyan \u2014 Ebury Press","translator":null,"weight":192,"page_count":272,"readership":null,"editor":"Ebury Press","price":1640,"published_date":"2025-06-11T22:00:00.000000Z","support":"Poche","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9781529927382\/downfall-putin-prigozhin-and-the-fight-for-the-future-of-russia"},{"id":"9781784754365","title":"THE FRENCH REVOLUTION AND WHAT WENT WRONG","description":"La l\u00e9gende dit que, en quelques semaines agit\u00e9es de juillet 1789, un roi despotique, sa femme aux moeurs l\u00e9g\u00e8res et une horde d'artistocrates cupides ont \u00e9t\u00e9 remplac\u00e9s par des humanistes \u00e9clair\u00e9s.

For more than 5,000 years, since the beginnings of the first  agrarian empires, humans have used elaborate credit systems to buy and  sell goods--that is, long before the invention of coins or cash. It is in  this era, Graeber argues, that we also first encounter a society  divided into debtors and creditors.  Graeber shows that arguments  about debt and debt forgiveness have been at the center of political  debates from Italy to China, as well as sparking innumerable  insurrections. He also brilliantly demonstrates that the language of the  ancient works of law and religion (words like guilt, sin, and  redemption) derive in large part from ancient debates about debt, and  shape even our most basic ideas of right and wrong.
