Happy Holidays!
In a few days in Paris will take up residence with been immersed in its quietude of August, but its Parisians. Only loafers, dreamers, tourists, artists and irreducible, by choice or under pressure will walk the sunny streets of the city of lights, cleared of traffic jams, its pollution, its endless queues and its excited at the edge of nervous breakdown. Soon a ghost town in some way. The opportunity to discover or rediscover Paris, under a different angle. With the guide "Paris, do we fear", published by Christine Bonneton, Marc and Claudine Hourcadette Lemonier, two lovers ballads thematic us on a journey into the heart of crime, the weird and irrational. Often, the Parisian rush (redundant?) Comes and goes in front facades which he knows the secrets monuments, backyards, hallways, museums, legends, trivia, ... But Paris is a small antique shop, decorations made of real or imaginary, where, under the exhaust gas is mask a cryptic inscription, an imprint of the past, a shiver. We must therefore take the time to stop and let our minds wander romantic. Certainly one finds classics like the Louvre Belphegor, the Templars at the Pont-Neuf, the devil in Notre-Dame, La Voisin and his poisons, alchemists, famous criminals, the high places of the police, the ghost of Luxembourg , Behind the Scenes the Da Vinci Code , guests must-Pere-Lachaise or bones from the catacombs. But it's always good to revise its traditional at this time of holiday homework, is not it? Moreover, beyond these fundamentals, the editorial bias of the authors (which, for each district, selected stories around a strong theme) and some little known stories, which are what differentiate Secret Paris of the new guide and unusual. Did you know that Sherlock Holmes had stayed in Paris? Agatha Christie had been assaulted? A statue of the Virgin had begun bleeding after being stabbed by a Swiss soldier? A UFO was sighted flying over the Eiffel Tower? Poltergeist that haunted the streets of Walnut? That a treasure was discovered in underground passages in Montmartre? What ignite our imagination! Of course, for some stories to send shivers down your back, it is no longer any visible trace on the ground. But the authors had the idea to us refer to books, films or other remains, clearly visible those who celebrate in their own way the memory of these stories sometimes macabre, sometimes supernatural. So it's a ballad both tourist and poetic, the borders of mystery, to which this "Paris, do we fear" invites us. Richly illustrated, this guide is useful and fun, both on site and comfort of his couch. Good summer in Paris! Olivier
How did we spend our summer road without noticing the fabulous book illustration, half comic, half sketchbook, William Bianco?! First, a big thank you to P'tit Lu, illustrator talent, telling me about this book on the antics of a little boy, a lover of stories and morbid fantasy creatures. If you're a fan of Tim Burton, himself a fan of Vincent Price, himself a fan of Edgar Allan Poe, you'll love it! His name is Billy Fog, could have been part of siblings Baudelaire Orphans and "suffer" a gift of sight disorder. This enables him to live his dreams and waking nightmares. It is not bad, just a little turbulent, with the irresistible desire to scare and be scared. I can not say more work is so rich. The best is to get, as quickly as possible and eyes closed, "Billy Fog, the gift of sight disorder" by William Bianco, published by Editions Soleil. A beautiful book collector you will not read in one go, but piecemeal. In any case, you're not ready to let go anytime soon. Hats off to this publishing project that beautifully renders homage to the "sad end of Oyster Boy," a collection of poems and drawings macabre haunted by death under the hand of the director of Corpse Bride and Sweeney Todd . And on his blog , the author announces a sequel ... Olivier .
