A sweeping, deeply moving, sensual fresco set in the heart of Africa, in the direct tradition of The City of Joy. When Julie Bertrand, a renowned gynecologist, sets foot in Burkina Faso, she has no idea she is about to experience the most significant upheaval of her life. She has come to operate on young mothers who have been circumcised, ripped apart by childbirth and cast aside, but instead she is gripped by a continent whose landscapes, culture and smells are the total opposite of her daily life in Quebec. When she meets Bunde, the brother of one of her Burkinese patients, her universe, her points of reference and her convictions are turned upside down. Although attached to another man, Julie abandons everything she has known and gives in to her instincts in the arms of a stranger. Surrendering herself to Africa, its heat and its deeply sensual rhythm, she agrees to completely change the course of her life. Themes The early phase of a romantic relationship, with all of its ardour and sensuality. Adventure, the discovery of new horizons. The life of an expatriate and the encounter between the western and African worlds and their totally different conventions. The culture of Burkina Faso, its traditions, values and way of life. The practice of female circumcision and the lives of circumcised women. Style A unique descriptive talent, which immerses the reader in the streets of Burkina Faso. A writing style highlighting a range of emotional contrasts. Réjean Tremblay is a Quebec journalist and scriptwriter. An expert on hockey and a sports columnist, he has also written approximately twenty highly successful TV series. 2 1 / Fiction & Short Stories / / Fiction & Short Stories / BAG TRIP Pierre Thibeault and Bob Sirois THE LAST WEEK OF MAY Christian Tétreault 400 pages Septembre 2012 Éditions de l’Homme The last week of the month of May is the most wonderful week of the year. Seven days to fall in love or make someone fall in love with you; to take revenge or apologize; to meet someone again or to forget. One hundred and sixty-eight hours to transform the lives of three friends, those of the women who share their lives out of love or habit and those of still other women who become attached to them by accident. May 2001. Summer is gradually arriving in Quebec and Émile can barely contain his impatience. A few days from now, he will once again meet up with the woman of his life, not seen since high school. The only problem is that he is currently living with Chloé, who has absolutely no idea she is about to lose him. To deal with this delicate situation, Émile is going to take advantage of the return of Laurent, who has been living in Greece, to try and make his girlfriend and his best friend fall in love. While this love triangle is taking shape, Charles, their mutual friend, decides it’s time to take revenge for a humiliating incident he suffered as a child. But, by mistake, he vandalizes the apartment of an unknown and innocent person... As destiny unfolds, the characters’ daily lives gradually change and their respective worlds intersect during this crucial final week of May. 2 Christian Tétreault describes himself first and foremost as a husband and father, which has not kept him from successfully managing several careers at once. He is best known as a sports broadcaster, columnist and editorialist, but he is also a creative developer and writer for television. He is the author of six books, including the bestsellers Je m’appelle Marie and Trois fils et un ange, published by Les Éditions de l’Homme. The Last Week of May is his first novel. Themes Unlikely friendships, loyalty in friendships. The complexity of romantic passion, the power of desire. Meetings that change our lives, the belief in fate. The priority role of family ties. Style A bright and delightful choral book written in a sensitive and exhilarating way. A perfect balance of humour, romance and drama. Unexpected twists and turns, a steady pace that keeps us holding our breath right to the last page. Lost and found...follow the fantastic adventures of luggage to the far corners of the earth. English translation available 192 pages April 2012 Éditions de l’Homme Each year, all over the world, more than 25 million pieces of luggage are missing when commercial planes land. More than six million pieces of baggage will never be found or claimed by passengers. As for the remainder, private companies, working for airlines in every large airport worldwide, get them through customs, make contact with travellers and forward their lost luggage to them. Bag Trip is a collection of anecdotes told by employees of these companies and by customs officers. Most of these crazy and preposterous stories are sure to make readers smile and even laugh out loud. Others are very touching and may bring a tear to the reader’s eye. While some of the anecdotes are very brief, others really qualify as short stories. A charming book on an international subject, and genuine anecdotes that are often stranger than fiction! From Bagages Battles on the Travel Channel to On the Fly on TLC, new American TV shows seem to have a passion for airport adventures! Get ready for take-off! Pierre Thibeault has worked for fifteen years as a journalist, broadcaster and columnist. Bob Sirois is a former professional hockey player. Following his sports career, he ran a company specializing in lost baggage handling for fifteen years. 3 / Music / / True Crime / SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES : THE HISTORY OF THE PLATTERS Didier Morissonneau & Paul-Yanic Laquerre Set against the background of segregationist America, this is the never-before-published story of the first group to experience world-wide success! English sample translation available 336 pages To be published Spring 2013 Éditions de l’Homme In the early 1950s, five young black singers from Los Angeles’s poorest neighbourhoods would, through a quirk of fate, experience one of the greatest adventures in the history of modern music. Coming out of nowhere, but bursting with talent and guided by a visionary manager, they would live the ultimate American dream. Right in the middle of the racial segregation era in the United States, The Platters would become the first American group to be successful all over the world. This vocal group, the most famous of all time, would sing on every continent, appear in several films and sell a hundred million records. They would have a private audience with the Pope, and meet the Queen of England and the world’s biggest stars of the day. But the American dream can also turn into a nightmare. Despite having left their mark on popular music, the Platters died forgotten and, in the case of most of the group’s members, in great poverty. Didier Morissonneau is a show producer and an expert in the music of the 1940s and 1950s. For more than 20 years, he has been organizing tours for major artists in Canada and the United States. Paul-Yanic Laquerre holds degrees in law and history. Currently, he is an environmental advisor to the Quebec government and a journalist writing for the French history magazine 2e Guerre Mondiale. MY SERIAL KILLERS Nadia Fezzani 256 pages September 2011 Éditions de l’Homme V 20 000 copies sold in Quebec. What goes through the killer’s mind at the moment he commits his crime? What makes him perform such horrible acts? And, above all, are serial killers born or made? To answer these questions, the author visited various American penitentiaries in person to meet with psychopaths. Alone with the unhandcuffed killer in a police interview room, under the watchful eye of security guards hidden behind a two-way mirror, she wrote down their secrets, each more disturbing than the others. Totally uncensored, the killers’ shocking statements are juxtaposed in the book with accounts by psychiatrists, profilers and criminologists who are experts in the field and try to dissect the personalities of those who, on sight, hardly seem human. These monsters’ actions and ways of thinking attest to their insanity or offer a glimpse of the profound unhappiness at the root of their lethal anti-social behaviour. The result is an unsettling book that takes us into the minds and hearts of men who have committed the worst atrocities. A powerful reaction guaranteed. Nadia Fezzani studied law and is a graduate in journalism. An experienced interviewer and columnist in various fields, she has been interviewing serial killers for the past four years. She is currently lecturing on psychology and criminology at McGill University and Concordia University in Montréal. 4 Table of Contents Preface Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Chapter 10 Chapter 11 (written by Dr. Eric Hickey) The approach Arthur Shawcross: my first serial killer What defines a serial killer Keith Jesperson: The Happy Face Killer Gary Grant Joel Rifkin: Joel The Ripper Richard Cottingham: The Torso Killer Cottingham’s TV confession Jack Trawick: executed in 2009 Patrick Kearney: The Freeway Killer Safety advice with regard to this kind of predator Strong points Exceptional access to the killers’ secrets and some previously unpublished details.

JOURNEY TO THE LANDS OF LOVE Jacques Salomé © Nancy Lessard Jacques Salomé invites us to penetrate a few of the mysteries of love... 224 pages To be published Spring 2013 Éditions de l’Homme In each of us there is a deep and sometimes irresistible urge to love and be loved. Many also feel the desire and determination to move beyond a romantic encounter and create a stable relationship as a couple. In this book, Jacques Salomé asks us to think about the discoveries and pathways explored by couples that can turn a loving relationship upside down. Lucidly and with great compassion, he examines the various questions partners ask themselves as years go by. How can the early emotional magic be maintained? How do we make love last? How do we avoid the pitfalls of repetition, wear and tear and the monotony of daily life? How do we handle both the giddy heights and the absence of desire, or infidelity in later life? How can we avoid being tricked by the illusion that a change of partner may be a solution? What can we do when we are carried away by passion and it consumes our life? What happens when we are faced with separation, the loss of someone dear to us? In this collection of inspiring texts, Jacques Salomé takes us on a fascinating and fertile journey to the known and lesser known lands of love. Themes From self-love to loving another Daring to say you are in love Daring to love On romantic meetings Intimate gestures Doubts when in love Life’s sorrows From a romantic meeting to a relationship The dark side of love Possible fidelities and infidelities Fear of losing the person you love What’s said and what’s left unsaid Romantic break-ups and other difficulties Love’s wounds Leaving the person you’ve loved, being left...

THE VOICE OF INTUITION Hearing it, recognizing it, obeying it Catherine Balance 336 pages August 2012 Éditions de l’Homme 224 pages September 2012 Éditions de l’Homme Asserting yourself and communicating means being able to express your thoughts, feelings and opinions. It’s saying “yes” when you mean “yes” and “no” when you mean “no”. It’s being able to ask, refuse, criticize, reply to criticism, offer compliments, respond to compliments all in a way that is satisfactory both for you and for the other person. Asserting yourself and communicating also means respecting the other person when communicating with him or her. Based on psychological research, this book offers a genuine programme for personal change that the authors have tested and perfected. Simply and gradually, it helps readers learn new assertive behaviours and paves the way for them to experience constructive, friendly and effective exchanges. Jean-Marie Boisvert is a psychologist. A professor at Université Laval until his retirement in 2007, he is still actively involved in research in the field of cognitive and social intervention. Madeleine Beaudry has a doctorate in social work. She has taught at Université Laval on the themes of family and couples. 8 Table of Contents PART I Chapter 1. Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Basic principles How to change your behaviour I have the right to assert myself and it’s in my interest to communicate What does asserting yourself mean? What does communicating mean? Non-verbal communication Verbal communication PART II Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Chapter 10 Chapter 11 Chapter 12 Applications How to reduce social anxiety Conversation Requests and refusals Responding to criticism Criticizing and resolving conflicts Compliments Strong points The serious nature and high quality of the bibliographical references. Specific exercises that guide the reader toward the desired change. Many scenarios that help the reader to better understand the concepts. Intuition is a part of our mental framework. All we need are a few simple techniques to gain access to it. Getting better at recognizing our intuition means we can be more attentive to what our feelings are telling us when we have decisions or choices to make. Intuition is also the source and inspiration for our most creative thoughts. What can we do to hear this “little inner voice” and distinguish it from the other voices that are with us constantly – those of reason, fear or desire? What exercises can we do to become even more attentive to it? The fruit of many years of experience, this guide suggests a wide variety of ways to get in touch with our intuition. After reading this book, we are left with more confidence in our own abilities, a feeling of greater transparency toward ourselves, the determination to communicate better with others and the urge to unleash our creativity. An author-composer, facilitator and radio producer in Montreal for many years, Catherine Balance has collaborated on various musical revues, books and exhibitions. After spending ten years in Quebec, she returned to France when her father became ill. Her research into new therapies led her to become interested in creative thinking and formed the basis of her first book, La pensée créatrice, published in May 1997 by Jouvence publishers. Catherine Balance has taken many courses in personal development (PNL, Ericksonian Hypnosis, Rebirth, etc.) and she writes regularly for RectoVerseau magazine. She leads workshops on the themes in her books, as well as on the development of creativity. Strong points The book is full of exercises that are very simple to do, requiring little time and effort. Several themes related to intuition are explored: relationships with others, the future, decision-making, creativity, etc. Applying the exercises can thus affect every aspect of a person’s life. A short and practical book. A RENDEZ-VOUS WITH OURSELVES Discover the Keys to transforming yourself 9 / Psychology & Self-Help / SPOILED FOR CHOICE Making choices – what a headache! Michèle Gaubert & Véronique Moraldi / Psychology & Self-Help / DANCING WITH CHAOS Welcome the unexpected into your life Jean-François Vézina Because everything in life is a choice... even choosing not to choose! Let the necessary chance events of life upset your world. 272 pages October 2012 Éditions de l’Homme 192 pages February 2012 Éditions de l’Homme Changing careers, taking courses, leaving a lover, having children, travelling, moving... OR the opposite: remaining in a job, staying with your mate, not going anywhere. All these life scenarios are the result of choices, both conscious and unconscious. In a colourful, light-hearted and very lively style, the authors dissect all the motives and mechanisms that govern these choices. They discuss the various personality types associated with them: people who stay put, adventurers, cheaters, dreamers, defeatists, etc. They urge us to think about individual freedom, the consequences of our choices and our two worst enemies in this area: guilt and frustration. Using examples drawn from their patients’ experiences, as well as from movies and literature, they encourage us to see that we have a great deal of control over our lives and even over our unconscious, because everything depends on our choices and what we want from them. Véronique Moraldi trained in interpersonal communication (Jacques Salomé’s ESPERE method), and is a specialist in moral harassment issues, the study of narcissistic personalities and the analysis of family relationships and their consequences for adult behaviour. She is also working on the causes of illness and the repression of emotions from a psycho-genealogical perspective. She lectures on manipulation and perversity in romantic relationships and on parent/child relationships. She is a contributor to magazines and a regular guest on radio and television programs in France and elsewhere. Michèle Gaubert, a psychotherapist, specializes in problems of adolescence and in parent/child relationships. She lectures on female humours (the origin of the identification of hysteria) and on sexual portrayals of Satan. She is also a novelist and playwright. Right from birth, life begins its great conversation with us. Children welcome novelty and respond to life with astonishing poetry and genius. Then, as we age, instead of continuing to communicate with our surroundings, and remain open to the unexpected, we often take refuge in comfort and in looking for happiness at any cost. When we only live among what is expected, nothing vibrant and original happens anymore and we lose our freedom. The author suggests we become aware of our expectations and then dare to accept change and unpredictable events as they occur. The unexpected often appears as a trickster, something that comes along and upsets the established order. This can be the arrival of a child, a new lover, a new job, or illness. The trickster unleashes chaos in our orderly universe. “To unexpect” is to feel once again the child’s ability to dance with this chaos. The author invites us to let ourselves be thrown off balance by life’s unexpected events, in whatever form. Strong points Originality of the trickster theme, which has never before been discussed in a book written for the general public. Each chapter ends with a summary and questions for further study. Written in an inspiring and very flowing style. Resembles an essay, but also has a practical side. A serious subject presented using catchy language and examples that speak to the general public. Strong points A universal theme: we all make choices, whether small or large, every day. The book is full of real-life cases and comical stories. The authors use humour to make us think. The authors are careful not to offer advice to readers. Instead they want to increase our awareness and encourage personal reflection on the choices we make. Jean-François Vézina is a psychologist. He was the President of the Cercle Jung de Québec for over seven years and has hosted the radio program Projections, on symbols in movies. He is also a lecturer and composer of electronic music.

What’s going on in the body and brain of a person who loses weight and a person who gains it? Why do excess weight and obesity win out, even though we are literally overwhelmed by food guides, Internet nutrition sites, “diet” cookbooks, weight-loss diets, nutrition information, and TV and radio programs? In this entertaining, incisive and scrupulously documented book, Louise Thibault points us toward answers that upset preconceived ideas on nutrition and the body. She explains why it’s normal to have irresistible cravings, to give up on a weight-loss diet, and to go back to the weight we were when we started, plus a few kilos, even when we know how to feed ourselves properly. The author lifts the veil on our conscious and unconscious relationships with food. But far from being fatalistic or pessimistic, she offers practical advice and encourages us to find personal solutions to improve our health with the help of a notebook of thoughts that accompanies us step by step. Equipped with a better understanding of our body and brain mechanisms, we can then come up with effective ways to avoid diet traps and once again find harmony between our head and our stomach. Louise Thibault is a nutritionist, researcher and Associate Professor of Nutrition at McGill University in Montreal. She has been studying food behaviour for more than 25 years. She has published the results of her work on controlling food intake and regulating body weight in respected professional journals and as book chapters. 18 / Health / HEALER OF CANCER: THE POWER OF THE MIND Dr. Christian Boukaram Rights sold to Italy 176 pages October 2011 Éditions de l’Homme V 20 000 copies sold in Quebec only.

From the Okanagan Valley to those of Napa and Calafia, this enormous area with its varied climates is home to more than one well-guarded treasure.

A pleasing mix of the tasting notes of a sommelier with encyclopaedic knowledge and the travel notes of a passionate traveller, this lavishly illustrated book is the perfect tool for learning everything there is to know about wine-growing in a region too often ignored by other books on the subject.
