The famous author of The Da Vinci Code and Digital Fortress is back! And he is not alone, because it is his most faithful character who accompanies him in this new novel entitled Origin.

But fate will decide otherwise, and Langdon will once again have to solve puzzles by flirting with the secrets of religion and history. In the heart of Barcelona, mysteries dating back thousands of years will be revealed… And not everyone will like it. To discover from October 3rd!
Liberated!: The feminist fight is won in front of the basket of dirty laundry – Titiou Lecoq
What if the fight for gender equality was played out in front of the laundry basket? This is the question raised by Titiou Lecoq, author of La Théorie de La Tartine et Les Cods. From an early age, women assimilated their gender as the one who was responsible for household chores. However, it is in the intimacy of the home that the bulk of the feminist struggle is played out. Titiou Lecoq, also a journalist at Slate.fr, analyzes the roles attributed to women and gives us food for thought. A book to devour, instead of sorting socks, for example!
The selection of Azelice
If you enjoyed the first two volumes of the series Houdini, magician and detective, the third opus, The Queen of Budapest, will be released on October 4 by Le Masque editions! This time, the great Houdini travels to Budapest during his European tour and is entrusted with two missions. The first concerns Mrs. Kestenbaum, an amnesiac looking for her family. The second is the murder of a young bookseller, or rather what the magician Houdini believes to be murder. Because for the local police, the death of the young man is accidental. A lot of work and adventures in perspective for the great Houdini!
