For the first time, les Éditions de l’Homme is publishing a
novel, and what a novel it is! 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.

THE LAST WEEK OF MAY
Christian Tétreault
400 pages
Septembre 2012
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.

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.

April 2012
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.

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
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
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.

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
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.

ASSERTING YOURSELF AND COMMUNICATING
Jean-Marie Boisvert and Madeleine Beaudry
A new edition of a bestseller that has sold more
than 150,000 copies in French.
THE VOICE OF INTUITION
Hearing it, recognizing it, obeying it
Catherine Balance

September 2012
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.

The serious nature and high quality of the bibliographical

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.

SPOILED FOR CHOICE
Making choices – what a headache!
Michèle Gaubert & Véronique Moraldi
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
192 pages
February 2012
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.

WHEN YOUR BODY JUST DOES WHAT
IT FEELS LIKE
Find out what’s driving you to eat
Louise Thibault
A book that shakes up preconceived ideas about nutrition
and overweight, by a specialist in brain function!
192 pages
August 2012
Why is it so hard, even impossible, to lose weight and especially to stay slim? 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.

FEED YOUR BRAIN
Cancer inspires fear, anxiety and despair—and it will also
affect nearly one person in two at some point in their lives.
Dr. Christian Boukaram suggests to everyone simple ways
to protect themselves from the devastating consequences
of this disease. Based on several years of scientific research,
and drawing on various thriving scientific fields such as
quantum physics and epigenetics, this book encourages
us to change the way we approach the disease. On the one
hand, he explores the contribution of the individual’s
thoughts, beliefs, emotions and environment to the emergence of cancer, while on the other he makes us aware of
the power of the body’s natural healing mechanisms. One
by one, various internal and external ways to stimulate
these mechanisms are identified and explained in simple
and accessible language. The methods and useful lifestyle
advice in this book are not just ways of keeping this illness
at bay; they are also indispensable tools for living a healthy
life, emotionally, physically, and in terms of our relationships with others.
Dr. Christian Boukaram is a Radiation Oncologist and Professor of Neurology in Montreal, Canada. He holds a post-Ph.D.
degree as well as a specialty in radiosurgery and is wellversed in the fields of nuclear physics and neuropsychology.
Instigator and Head of the Radiosurgery Department at
Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital, he is also the co-founder of
CROIRE, an organization offering emotional support to cancer
patients. Dr. Boukaram’s research is interested in the improvement of patient care through a multidisciplinary approach.

Who ever said that all good wines come from the old continent? After having tracked down the best wines of the southern hemisphere, the author is now setting out to conquer
North America. 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. Ontario apricot-scented ice wine, oaky California chardonnay, Mexico’s
petite sirah with its full-bodied tannins...on every page, you
will feel like you are pushing open the door to a new and fascinating wine cellar on the new world wine route. Here you
will find not just the best bottles, but also the faces, witnesses to a history and a tradition, that stand behind them.
The size and special features of the vineyard, its soil type
and irrigation requirements, climatic and geographic data,
wine production statistics, up-to-date trends, regulations
and current practices, the varietals grown, the vinification
process and the conditions for the wines’ elaboration, suggested vintages, the wines’ alcohol levels, and the price of
bottles, as well as tasting notes – it’s all here. 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.

2010 for his book Entre les vignes, which was named best
wine literature book in the world.

known among quality wines on the international market.

THE WORLD OF TEA: GREEN TEAS
Camellia Sinensis
A little jewel of a book that takes us to the other side of the world and
into the fascinating universe of green teas.
176 pages
November 2012
In the course of their travels, the owners of the Camellia Sinensis tea house have visited Chinese growers, Vietnamese
pickers, Japanese producers and other tea artisans; the result is this book, portraying the thousand and one facets of
the precious “liquor of green leaves”, heir to a tradition going
back several millennia.
In two- to six-page texts, they take us along with them to
introduce us to the range of flavours and cultivars of green
tea, but also, along the way, to the people, objects, customs
and traditions associated with one of the most-consumed
drinks in the world. In tune with the rhythm of the journey,
this book sometimes takes us down the road of discovery
and adventure, and sometimes along the path of history
and the people who made it – at times allowing us a moment
to contemplate a superb landscape and at others offering
us a place to drink a cup of tea in good company.
The result of this journey, accompanied by superb illustrations in ink and watercolour, whose palette evokes tea
and its soil, is a complete, original, artistic and succinct description of the family of green teas. This small inviting
book, its delicate style equalled only by the precision of its
information, will charm both curious novices and tea lovers
of long standing.
Strong points
The credibility of the Camellia Sinensis tea house.
The pleasant and easy-to-read tone of the book, which
leads us into a little-known world.
Many Asian-influenced ink and watercolour illustrations
and colour photos exclusive to the Camellia Sinensis tea
house.
