Diary of an Apprentice Astronaut

By: Samantha Cristoforetti

Astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti’s intimate account of her first journey to the International Space Station, to which she returns in 2022, as commander of Expedition 68a—only the fourth woman to command the ISS, praised by Scott Kelly for its “incredible detail and great writing.” Two hundred days orbiting Earth on the International Space Station. Five years working and training with the aerospace community across the world. A lifetime of choices leading to the stars. These are the components of Samantha Cristoforetti’s dream, a dream she invites us to share in this intimate account of an astronaut’s journey to space. She views the triumphs and disappointments of that journey with a poet’s eye and a philosopher’s mind—and an engineer’s gift for detail that brings each experience into sharp focus. With Cristoforetti as our guide, we’re called to become “apprentice astronauts” and experience the world anew through the visor of a space suit’s helmet. Bonding with crew members to tackle challenges as a team, lifting off from the launchpad in a roar of engines, discovering the strange wonders of weightlessness, seeing Earth with a fresh perspective after a bittersweet return to solid ground . . . all these moments and more reveal what it really takes to escape our planet’s gravity in pursuit of a goal.

Flirting with celebrity

By: Samantha Joyce

À tout juste 19 ans, Elise est l'auteur d'une saga romanesque qui fait un véritable carton. Mais elle fait tout pour rester dans l’ombre du succès. Des années plus tôt, elle a eu un grave accident qui lui a laissé de profondes et visibles cicatrices. Depuis, elle fait tout pour garder son anonymat... Mais son éditeur l’oblige à suivre en personne le tournage du film adapté de ses livres. Un blockbuster dans lequel Gavin Hartley, son acteur préféré, sera le héros ! Alors, pour ne pas dévoiler son secret, elle demande à une doublure, Veronica, de jouer son rôle d'auteur à succès, tandis qu'elle fera semblant d’être son assistante. Mais ce petit jeu énerve assez vite Elise, car c'est Veronica qui récolte tous les honneurs. Pour conquérir le beau Gavin, Elise va devoir assumer sa véritable identité. Au risque de perdre ses fans et d’exhumer les lourds secrets de son enfance... Pour conquérir le garçon qu'elle aime, elle va enfin devoir s'assumer...
