Pitcairn

The Rebels of the Bounty will Disappear - Essais - documents

By: Olivier Goujon

Who are the descendants of Fletcher Christian today? How did the Bounty rebels survive in virtual autarky on their island at the end of the world for ten generations? Why did the British crown finally take its revenge on the mutineers who had defied it since 1790? Olivier Goujon tells the epic story of the most astonishing human community, both mythical and terrifying, in the form of an adventure story and a journalistic investigation. The destiny of about fifty men and women who were rejected and disconnected from the rest of the world, from the progress of science and evolution. A damned nation that has lived in extreme difficulty for 230 years, often against morality and human rights. Caught up by the modern world, secret diplomacy, international trade, and the King's justice, the island is now at a dramatic turning point in its history. Olivier Goujon, journalist, photojournalist and director, is one of the very few journalists to have visited the island and have access to the hermetic society of Pitcairn. He is the author of Femen, Story of a Betrayal and Those Stupid Journalists (published by Max Milo).

Stolen Child

Kidnapped at 12. 12 Years Confined - Témoignage

By: Marie-Claire Vidja,Olivier Goujon

My name is Marie-Claire. I have had nightmares every night from the time I was 11, when I was kidnapped.” From the clutches of a French family who tortured her into the grips of an Algerian family who kidnapped and confined her, Marie-Claire went through hell before making a spectacular escape and reaching France. There are lives whose reality is hard to imagine. Marie-Claire's life is one of those. An unwanted child, born in France, beaten, involved in drug trafficking, she was abandoned, temporarily placed in the care of Social Services, before being returned to her parents—and then she was kidnapped by her stepfather and then by her father’s family that included a radicalized Islamic "tutor." She went through hell for ten years before escaping and starting on a path to recovery in which suffering and hardships kept getting worse, but which eventually led her to the hallowed halls of a French university, from where she continues to fight for the hundreds of children kidnapped by a parent—children who, every year, are victims of their parents' crimes and of institutional abandonment. She also uses her personal experience to look at mixed marriages, parental authority, parental responsibility. She points out with intelligence and accuracy the blind spots in the law, the cowardice of institutions, and the indifference of public opinion in the face of crimes whose victims are, first and foremost, thousands of children. The life of Marie-Claire is not a novel. Marie-Claire Vidja is a teacher-researcher and a doctor in human and social sciences. She has written, Hirak, l'art évolution du sourire, published by Nombre7. Olivier Goujon is a photojournalist, scriptwriter and author of several books, including Femen, histoire d'une trahison, Ces cons de journalistes and Pitcairn, les derniers réfugiés du Bounty vont disparaître, published by Max Milo.

The Restaurant, A Geographical Approach

From Invention to Gourmet Tourist Destinations

By: Olivier Etcheverria

This book analyzes the way in which restaurants are geographical objects that reveal locational logics and strategies, and how restaurants weave close relationships with the space in which they are located. Originating from cities, restaurants feed off the urban environment as much as they feed it ? participating in the qualification, differentiation and hierarchy of cities. Indeed, restaurants in both the city and the countryside maintain a dialogical relationship with tourism. They can be vital players in the establishment of emerging types of gourmet tourism, sometimes even constituting as gourmet tourist destinations in their own right. They participate in the establishment of necessary conditions for local development. Some restaurants are even praised as historic sites, recognized as part of the local heritage, which reinforces their localization and their identity as a gourmet tourist destination.

Georges Gilles de la Tourette

Beyond the Eponym

By: Olivier Walusinski

This biography is the first comprehensive volume to delve into the life, scholarship, writing, and hobbies of the famed doctor, for whom Tourette's Syndrome is named. In Part One, we learn Georges' family history, follow his schooling and mentorship under Charcot, travel to the World's Fair of 1900, and evade an attempted assassination, all before succumbing to death by syphilis. Part Two provides an in-depth analysis of his neurological and psychiatric works, notably the eponymous neurological disorder that will forever remain "Tourette's Syndrome." Part Three looks at the lighter side of Georges, inspecting his favorite past-times as poet, historian, and art critic. Part Four brings an extensive bibliography of Georges' complete body of work.
