Ce roman est un hymne au charme troublant et sensuel du Laos. C'est aussi un récit d'espionnage dans l'ambiance complexe de la guerre que mène l'Occident au communisme asiatique. Mais c'est également une histoire d'amitié entre deux adversaires qui se rejoignent dans leur échec commun et d'amour entre un homme et une jeune femme, entre deux peuples. Ce n'est peut-être pas le roman le plus connu de Jean Lartéguy mais c'est celui qui met le plus en lumière l'amour que l'auteur porte aux paysages et aux peuples de l'Asie du sud-est. Dans cette histoire complexe d'espionnage et de guerre des années d'après-guerre, les personnages apparaîssent tels des hommes de chair et de sang maîtres de leur destin en dépit de leurs désillusions. Et puis l'auteur nous conduit à la découverte des derniers peuples libres des montagnes: les Méos et les Khas.

Contrasts of the Nordic Bronze Age. Essays in Honour of Christopher Prescott
, Brepols, 2021 Paperback, 284 pages, Size:215 x 280 mm, Illustrations:61 b/w, 30 col., 16 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503588773.
Summary The Bronze Age in Northern Europe was a place of diversity and contrast, an era that saw movements and changes not just of peoples, but of cultures, beliefs, and socio-political systems, and that led to the forging of ontological ideas materialized in landscapes, bodies, and technologies. Drawing on a range of materials and places, the innovative contributions gathered here in this volume explore the disparate facets of Bronze Age society across the Nordic region through the key themes of time and trajectory, rituals and everyday life, and encounters and identities. The contributions explore how and why society evolved over time, from the changing nature of sea travel to new technologies in house building, and from advances in lithic production to evolving burial practices and beliefs in the afterlife. This edited collection honours the ground-breaking research of Professor Christopher Prescott, an outstanding figure in the study of the Bronze Age north, and it takes as its inspiration the diversity, interdisciplinarity, and vitality of his own research in order to make a major new contribution to the field, and to shed new light on a Bronze Age full of contrasts and connections.

Circular Cities of Early Bronze Age Syria
, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, xxvi + 398 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:133 b/w, 36 col., 16 tables b/w., Languages: English, French. ISBN 9782503551838.
Summary This volume corresponds to the acts of a conference that closes the international interdisciplinary research project Badiyah, directed by Corinne Castel and Jan-Waalke Meyer (Directors of the Tell Al-Rawda and Tell Chuera archaeological missions). Both sites illustrate the importance of the 3rd millennium BCE 'circular cities' discovered in today's Syria. These pre-planned cities were fortified and organized following a concentric and radial urban pattern. They represent a particular form of the endogenous process of urbanization that appeared in this region when the first cities and territorial states emerged. The main results obtained from these two sites are compared to other Syrian 'circular cities' of the Early Bronze Age. Twenty-nine contributions enable us to reassess the process of urbanization in the Near East and to question the Southern Mesopotamian model as the unique cradle of urban civilization.

Bronze Coins of Eastern Mount Ossa in the Thessalian Perioikic Region of Magnesia. Homolion, Eureai, Eurymenai, and Meliboia
, Brepols, 2024 Hardback, xxviii + 232 pages, Size:152 x 229 mm, Illustrations:226 b/w, 7 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9780897223959.
Summary This monograph examines the Late Classical and Hellenistic bronze coinages of five mints in the Thessalian perioikic region of Magnesia. At the core of this work lies a new die-study of the coins produced by the strategically and economically important coastal cities of Homolion and Meliboia as well as the lesser-known mints of Eureai, Eurymenai, and Rhizous. Combining this die-study with a close examination of the cities' topographical context in a border region between Thessaly and Macedon and drawing on archaeological data from Magnesia and beyond, the monograph addresses key questions concerning the chronology, denominations, and circulation patterns of the bronze issues minted on eastern Mount Ossa. This analysis not only throws new light on coin production in Late Classical and Hellenistic Magnesia, but also allows a discussion of the possible military and non-military functions of the region's different bronze issues. Placing the coins of Eureai, Eurymenai, Homolion, Meliboia, and Rhizous in their wider context, this monograph furthermore addresses broader issues in the history of Thessalian coinage. In particular, the monograph's regional approach offers an unusual opportunity to examine to what extent Thessaly's Late Classical and Hellenistic civic coins were genuinely local in design, production, and function. The monograph thus both explores the coins of Mount Ossa and contributes towards a better understanding of the introduction and development of bronze coinages in the wider Thessalian region and beyond.

Coins of the Ptolemaic Empire, Part I: Ptolemy I through Ptolemy IV. Volume 1: Precious Metal, Volume 2: Bronze
, Brepols, 2024 Hardback, 2 vols, xxxiv + 836 pages, Size:210 x 297 mm, Illustrations:37 b/w, 122 plates, Language: English. ISBN 9780897223980.
Summary Coins of the Ptolemaic Empire, Part 1, Volumes 1 and 2 (Precious Metal and Bronze) by Catharine Lorber, is the massive, long-anticipated catalogue of coins struck by the first four Ptolemaic kings. It essentially rewrites the sections on these rulers in J. N. Svoronos' classic, but now much out of date,?Ta Nomismata tou Kratous ton Ptolemaion?(1904). The body of coinage catalogued by Svoronos is enlarged by more than 300 further emissions in precious metal and more than 180 emissions in bronze, recorded from subsequent scholarship, from hoards, from commercial sources, and from private collections, and constituting about a third of the total catalogue entries. Lorber's attributions, dates, and interpretations rest on numismatic research since Svoronos, or on the latest archaeological and hoard information. She also provides extensive historical and numismatic introductions that give the coins deeper context and meaning. The coinage of Ptolemies I through IV is supplemented by a few issues possibly attributable to Cleomenes of Naucratis, the predecessor of Ptolemy I in Egypt, as well as by coinages of Ptolemy Ceraunus, Magas, and Ptolemy of Telmessus, members of the Lagid dynasty ruling their own kingdoms outside of Egypt.
