Correspondances littéraires sur les conséquences de la politique française d’immigration

Chine, XVIIe siècle. Recluse dans les luxueux appartements des femmes, Pivoine tue le temps avant son mariage. Mais plutôt que de se livrer aux exercices convenables - broderie ou chant -, elle préfère se plonger dans de dangereuses lectures qui exaltent l'amour fou. Lorsque, à l'occasion de son anniversaire, son père lui permet d'assister, cachée derrière un paravent, à la représentation de son opéra favori, Pivoine s'éprend d'un élégant poète.

After Fangio and before Moss, Alberto Ascari was the most exciting driver of the 1950's. This well-rounded little Milanese started racing motorcycles in 1936. A collection of the best and most famous drivers of the Formula One Championship are covered in this fascinating Legend Series title on Alberto Ascari.

This book describes Juan-Manuel Fangio's youth in Buenos Aires, his first steps in motor racing in Argentina, and then his move to Europe where he scooped all Formula One honors. Like Fangio himself, this illustrated biography also delivers comprehensive results, featuring several hundred photographs and car drawings. Until last year, Juan-Manuel Fangio was the sole owner of the Formula One World Titles record, winning it a remarkable five times (a record only just now equaled by Michael Schumacher). His unique style is much admired by Schumacher himself, who admits that drivers of the past were in another world.

This biography explains the racing career of four times world champion Alain Prost from childhood until retirement. It features comprehensive career statistics and several hundred photographs as well as interviews of key people related to Prost's career.
