Through many tumultuous years, they stumbled to the brink of both relational and personal destruction again and again, nearly giving up on each other—and on life itself.

À tel point que des corps policiers ont mis sur pied des unités d’élite spécialisée; en effet, la vision intime du monde de ces meurtriers est souvent peuplée de démons, de vampires et de goules. Ici, nous ne parlons plus de meurtres ou de modus operandi, mais de rituels et de sacrifices. Mais qui sont ces «tueurs de l’occulte»? Par quelle «logique» tordue en viennent-ils à croire qu’ils sont les messagers de quelque divinité?

Story
Vietnam - There & Back: A Combat Medic's Chronicle is a candid account of the time when Jim Purtell and several other combat vets found themselves conducting operations in the jungles of Vietnam during and after the Tet Offensive. Purtell describes in gritty detail what it was like to live and fight with an infantry company only to return to anti-Vietnam sentiment so strong that he and his fellow veterans felt nobody cared about them or the sacrifices they made.

Story
Until his assassination by US drone strike in January 2020, commander Qassem Soleimani was one of the most powerful men in Iran and the military spearhead for Iranian foreign policy, enacting the wishes of the country's Supreme Leader in the region. A widely popular but also feared maverick operator, he helped to establish the Islamic Republic as a major force in the Middle East, with interventions in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen. This was a long way from where he began as a youth, living on the margins in a country ruled by a monarch supported by the United States.

Story
« Ou bien t'es vieux, ou bien t'es mort. » À tous ceux et celles qui ont peur de vieillir. Puisqu'il nous faut vieillir, mieux vaut que ce soit dans la joie. Non, la vieillesse n'est pas un naufrage. Oui, il y a du plaisir après soixante-cinq ans. Oui, il y a des bobos, des inconvénients. Mais oui, il y a de l'amour.
