Publié en 1830, "Le rouge et le noir" est un monument de la littérature française. Roman réaliste où l'ambition côtoie la cruauté d'une jeunesse inconsciente. Julien Sorel, fil de charpentier, veut gravir les échelon de la société,pour cela deux carrières s'offrent à lui : le clergé ou le militaire ; c'est finalement par les femmes que Julien parviendra à ses fins.

Once one of Silicon Valley’s greatest success stories, Facebook has been under constant fire for the past five years, roiled by controversies and crises. It turns out that while the tech giant was connecting the world, they were also mishandling users’ data, spreading fake news, and amplifying dangerous, polarizing hate speech.

Meh
Revisado: 04-03-24
Almost entirely about Russia's small potatoes ad campaign during the 2016 elections and the ultra trendy cause of combating disinformation. Very little about the erosion of privacy, unethical business practices and the warping of normal everyday interactions.
Doesnt do much for me. Certainly not 'the ultimate take down'.

Ukraine's sudden prominence in American politics has compounded an already-widespread misunderstanding of what is actually happening in the nation. In the American media, Ukraine has come to signify an inherently corrupt place, rather than a real country struggling in the face of great challenges. Ukraine: What Everyone Needs to Know addresses Ukraine's relations with the West, particularly the United States, from the perspective of Ukrainians.

Comprehensive, even-handed
Revisado: 03-19-22
Slight pro-Ukrainian nationalist bias, but coverages recent events and their origins fairly and thoroughly.
The controversies over eastern Slav identity are examined with a long view and most of the major claims are given at least a brief examination. Ukraine's real neo-nazi issues are covered. Other books are available to hammer away on the point from a Russian view, but this one will at least look it square in the face before moving on.
The fighting in the Donbas, Zelensky's election, Tymoshenko's fall from grace.... the entire saga of controversies with Russia starting at the Orange Revolution and ending at Covid are covered in great depth.
Don't let the review from the grumpy Trump enthusiast turn you off. The book by no means ignores the scandal surrounding Hunter Biden. At the same time it does take a hard look at the Manafort connections in Ukraine.
A thoroughly enjoyable book even if you have a slight pro-Russian lean as I do.

Brilliant and engagingly written, Why Nations Fail answers the question that has stumped the experts for centuries: Why are some nations rich and others poor, divided by wealth and poverty, health and sickness, food and famine?

THE PRIMER on development economics
Revisado: 08-04-21
An amazing blend of archaeology, economics, political philosophy and history. I have never read an account of the differences in national income with the level of cogency and coherence this has.

Total misnomer. Should be called the pornification of GEN-Z. Anecdotal smut, not serious social science.
