Livre de cuisine, livre de sagesse. Chez les taoïstes, la coutume veut que l'on serve un repas après avoir lu, médité ou psalmodié un texte. C'est pourquoi chaque recette est accompagnée d'une brève méditation sur la vie et l'harmonie du monde, puisée dans le Tao-tö-king du philosophe Lao-tseu : quatre-vingt-une recettes assorties de quatre-vingt-une méditations. Elles ont été recueillies patiemment au cours de longs périples dans les monastères, les montagnes et les maisons de Chine, de Hong Kong et de Taïwan. Elles ont été testées et goûtées par l'auteur, lui-même sinologue, voyageur, apprenti taoïste et gourmet. Quand la cuisine devient un art de la Longue Vie...

A selection of the Best Writing in Israel Today Edited by Joel Blocker, introduction by Robert Alter The present volume of Israeli stories reassuringly illustrates the other half of a frequently asserted half-truth. Modern Hebrew literature, it is claimed, liked Yiddish literature, does not really share the large concerns of serious literary activity in the West. The Hebrew writer ordinarily does not address himself to the human situation with all of its far-reaching possibilities of tragedy of comedy, but to the Jewish situation, which is quite another thing. Consequently, Hebrew and Yiddish writers--so goes the claim--develop a system of typology rather than methods of characterization, for they are most essentially interested in the Jewish people, its particular qualities and its present fate or ultimate destiny, while the individual, who is central in other modern literatures, stands at the periphery of their vision.

In the blink of an eye. Everyone disappears. GONE. Except for the young. Teens. Middle schoolers. Toddlers. But not one single adult. No teachers, no cops, no doctors, no parents. Just as suddenly, there are no phones, no internet, no television. No way to get help. And no way to figure out what's happened. Hunger threatens. Bullies rule. A sinister creature lurks. Animals are mutating. And the teens themselves are changing, developing new talents—unimaginable, dangerous, deadly powers—that grow stronger by the day. It's a terrifying new world. Sides are being chosen, a fight is shaping up. Townies against rich kids. Bullies against the weak. Powerful against powerless.
