We publish history, memoir, ideas, popular science, biography, narrative non-fiction, crime and thrillers, translated fiction and literary fiction of all kinds. 3 ‘The Octopus Man reminds us that behind the words “mental health” lies a universe of wild creativity, humanity and spanking big life. Now is the time for this book’ DBC Pierre The Octopus Man tells the story of Tom, once an outstanding law student, now lost in the machinery of the British mental health system.

He hears the voice of Malamock, the JANUARY Octopus God – part comforter, part autarch, part guide. Deeply moving and tragicomic, The Octopus Man takes us into the complex and disturbing world of voice-hearing in a bravura literary performance that asks the fundamental questions about belief, meaning and love.

  • Cedric Jimenez
    THE STRONGHOLD Directed by Cédric Jimenez INTERNATIONAL MARKETING INTERNATIONAL PUBLICITY Alba OHRESSER Margaux AUDOUIN [email protected] [email protected] 1 SYNOPSIS Marseille’s north suburbs hold the record of France’s highest crime rate. Greg, Yass and Antoine’s police brigade faces strong pressure from their bosses to improve their arrest and drug seizure stats. In this high-risk environment, where the law of the jungle reigns, it can often be hard to say who’s the hunter and who’s the prey. When assigned a high-profile operation, the team engages in a mission where moral and professional boundaries are pushed to their breaking point. 2 INTERVIEW WITH CEDRIC JIMENEZ What inspired you to make this film? In 2012, the scandal of the BAC [Anti-Crime Brigade] Nord affair broke out all over the press. It was difficult to escape it, especially for me being from Marseille. I Quickly became interested in it, especially since I know the northern neighbourhoods well having grown up there. There was such a media show that I felt the need to know what had happened. How far had these cops taken the law into their own hands? But for that, it was necessary to have access to the police and to the files. That was obviously impossible. When we decided to work together, me and Hugo [Sélignac], my producer, I always had this affair in mind. It was then that he said to me, “Wait, I know someone in Marseille who could introduce us to the real cops involved.” And that’s what happened.

  • Publishing in the Nineteenth Century
    1 Publishing in the Nineteenth Century Originally published as “Editer au XIXe siècle”, Revue d’histoire littéraire de la France, vol. 107, no. 4, 2007, pp. 771–90. Introduction When Roger Chartier and Henri-Jean Martin were preparing the introduction to the first volume of their monumental Histoire de l’Édition francaise (History of French publishing), which they entitled Le livre conquérant. Du Moyen Age au milieu du XVIIe siècle (The Conquering Book. From the Middle Ages to the mid-seventeenth century), they encountered a problem – one might even call it an aporia. They explained their twin debt both to Lucien Febvre, the initiator of research into the history of the book,1 and to Jean-Pierre Vivet, a journalist turned director of Promodis Publishing, who had expressed his desire to “see [the publisher] placed at the center of these four volumes,” which he had entrusted to them.2 This outspoken directive implied that the figure of the publisher long predated the invention of printing, and that he had been performing the role of broker or mediator without interruption from the thirteenth up to the twentieth century, as is the case today. The two editors were very well aware that sustaining such a notion could prove risky, and so they added this further comment, which partly contradicted what had gone before: The story we would like to tell is one in which the role of the publisher was gradually asserted and became more clearly defined; he was bold in the age of the conquering 1 Lucien Febvre and Henri-Jean Martin, L’apparition du livre (Paris: Albin Michel, 1958), translated into English as The Coming of the Book: The Impact of Printing, 1450-1800 (London: Verso, 1976).

    GOLD Package Channel & VOD List: incl Entertainment & Video Club (VOD), Music Club, Sports, Adult Note: This list is accurate up to 1st Aug 2018, but each week we add more new Movies & TV Series to our Video Club, and often add additional channels, so if there’s a channel missing you really wanted, please ask as it may already have been added. Note2: This list does NOT include our PLEX Club, which you get FREE with GOLD and PLATINUM Packages. PLEX Club adds another 500+ Movies & Box Sets, and you can ‘request’ something to be added to PLEX Club, and if we can source it, your wish will be granted. ♫: Music Choice ♫: Music Choice ♫: Music Choice ALTERNATIVE ♫: Music Choice ALTERNATIVE ♫: Music Choice DANCE EDM ♫: Music Choice DANCE EDM ♫: Music Choice Dance HD ♫: Music Choice Dance HD ♫: Music Choice HIP HOP R&amp;B ♫: Music Choice HIP HOP R&amp;B ♫: Music Choice Hip-Hop And R&amp;B HD ♫: Music Choice Hip-Hop And R&amp;B HD ♫: Music Choice Hit HD ♫: Music Choice Hit HD ♫: Music Choice HIT LIST ♫: Music Choice HIT LIST ♫: Music Choice LATINO POP ♫: Music Choice LATINO POP ♫: Music Choice MC PLAY ♫: Music Choice MC PLAY ♫: Music Choice MEXICANA ♫: Music Choice MEXICANA ♫: Music Choice Pop &amp; Country HD ♫: Music Choice Pop &amp; Country HD ♫: Music Choice Pop Hits HD ♫: Music Choice Pop Hits HD ♫: Music Choice Pop Latino HD ♫: Music Choice Pop Latino HD ♫: Music Choice R&amp;B SOUL ♫: Music Choice R&amp;B SOUL ♫: Music Choice RAP ♫: Music Choice RAP ♫: Music Choice Rap 2K HD ♫: Music Choice Rap 2K HD ♫: Music Choice Rock HD ♫: Music Choice
