About this listen
Florence, 1557. Le peintre Pontormo est retrouvé assassiné au pied des fresques auxquelles il travaillait depuis onze ans. Un tableau a été maquillé. Un crime de lèse-majesté a été commis. Vasari, l’homme à tout faire du duc de Florence, est chargé de l’enquête. Pour l’assister à distance, il se tourne vers le vieux Michel-Ange exilé à Rome.
La situation exige discrétion, loyauté, sensibilité artistique et sens politique. L’Europe est une poudrière. Cosimo de Médicis doit faire face aux convoitises de cousine Catherine, reine de France, alliée à son vieil ennemi, le républicain Piero Strozzi. Les couvents de la ville pullulent de nostalgiques de Savonarole tandis qu’à Rome, le pape condamne les nudités de la chapelle Sixtine.
Perspective(s) est un polar historique épistolaire. Du broyeur de couleurs à la reine de France en passant par les meilleurs peintres, sculpteurs et architectes, chacun des correspondants joue sa carte. Tout le monde est suspect.

Story
Au grand jeu du destin, Mimo a tiré les mauvaises cartes. Né pauvre, il est confié en apprentissage à un sculpteur de pierre sans envergure. Mais il a du génie entre les mains. Toutes les fées ou presque se sont penchées sur Viola Orsini. Héritière d'une famille prestigieuse, elle a passé son enfance à l'ombre d'un palais génois. Mais elle a trop d'ambition pour se résigner à la place qu'on lui assigne.

Story
J’ai voulu y croire, j’ai voulu rêver que le royaume de la littérature m’accueillerait comme n’importe lequel des orphelins qui y trouvent refuge, mais même à travers l’art, on ne peut pas sortir vainqueur de l’abjection. La littérature ne m’a pas sauvée. Je ne suis pas sauvée. Neige Sinno lit elle-même son texte, insufflant une force supplémentaire à son bouleversant récit autobiographique.

Story
Vers l'an mille : la fille d'Erik le Rouge met cap au sud. 1492 : Colomb ne découvre pas l'Amérique. 1531 : les Incas envahissent l'Europe. À quelles conditions ce qui a été aurait-il pu ne pas être ? Il a manqué trois choses aux Indiens pour résister aux conquistadors. Donnez-leur le cheval, le fer, les anticorps, et toute l'histoire du monde est à refaire. "Civilizations" est le roman de cette hypothèse : Atahualpa débarque dans l'Europe de Charles Quint.

Story
On l'appelait le "mage du Kremlin". L'énigmatique Vadim Baranov fut metteur en scène puis producteur d'émissions de télé-réalité avant de devenir l'éminence grise de Poutine, dit le Tsar. Après sa démission du poste de conseiller politique, les légendes sur son compte se multiplient, sans que nul puisse démêler le faux du vrai. Jusqu'à ce que, une nuit, il confie son histoire au narrateur de ce livre... Ce récit nous plonge au cœur du pouvoir russe, où courtisans et oligarques se livrent une guerre de tous les instants.

Story
Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Story
Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

Story
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.
