Double Face
By Frzal, Herv

Through this book - Double Face - Charline Pritscaloff (Orlans) and Herv Frezal (Beaulieu-sur-Mer) wish to share their two worlds, their sensitivities but also and especially their love of the profession. Two styles, at first sight opposites, find themselves in the same volume. The reader will discover the feminine touch of Charline Pritscaloff - curvy, flexible, generous and voluptuous - facing the compositions of Herv Frezal, characterized by their lack of superfluous elements, purity, cleanness and restrained lines.

The Dictionary People
By Ogilvie, Sarah
A history and celebration of the many far-flung volunteers who helped define the English language, word by word. The Oxford English Dictionary is one of mankind's greatest achievements, and yet, curiously, its creators are almost never considered. Who were the people behind this unprecedented book? As Sarah Ogilvie reveals, they include three murderers, a collector of pornography, the daughter of Karl Marx, a president of Yale, a radical suffragette, a vicar who was later found dead in the cupboard of his chapel, an inventor of the first American subway, a female anti-slavery activist in Philadelphia . . . and thousands of others. . Of deep transgenerational and broad appeal, a thrilling literary detective story that, for the first time, unravels the mystery of the endlessly fascinating contributors the world over who, for over seventy years, helped to codify the way we read and write and speak.
