‘A true comic genius’ Ian Hislop ‘Ridiculously funny’ Joanna Lumley Bonjour toutes les personnes! Welcome to the wonderful world of Franglais.

His magnificent new language can be understood by almost anyone who failed GCSE French. If you passed GCSE French it could be tricky, but do try anyway. So achetez! Lisez! Et enjoy! Merci beaucoup. ‘What a truly gifted, consistently funny writer’ Maureen Lipman ‘Utterly charming and extremely funny’ Independent Miles Kington was one of Britain’s most renowned and best loved journalists.

His other acclaimed titles include Someone Like Me, How Shall I Tell the Dog? and The Franglais Lieutenant’s Woman.

Les trois dernières années n’ont pas été faciles pour Monique, une psychologue à la retraite. En premier, il y a eu deux années de COVID-19 qui ont interrompu nos vies.

Elle se sent impuissante devant une situation qu’elle réussit à cacher de ses proches mais qu’elle n’arrive pas à maîtriser malgré son expérience professionnelle. Une réunion avec des amis de jeunesse lui permet de retrouver sa joie de vivre et de se libérer rapidement de son état. À présent, elle cherche à comprendre la raison d’un tel mal de vivre sans raison apparente. Monique comprend maintenant qu’elle doit retourner dans le passé, pour revisiter sa vie avec tous ses moments de joie et de chagrin. Pendant ce processus, elle trouve, comprend et se libère de l’énigme cachée depuis longtemps dans sa mémoire. Son histoire nous dit de ne jamais abandonner. Il faut chercher ce dont nous avons besoin pour améliorer notre situation et être vraiment heureux dans la vie.

The existence of Q (simply defined as the non-Markan material common to Matthew and Luke) as a document in the earliest churches was first hypothesized by C.H. Weisse in 1838. The existence, character, and significance of Q as a document from the earliest churches has further been developed since then by numerous scholars, including the two Fortress Press books by John S. Kloppenborg Verbin: The Formation of Q (1987) and Excavating Q (2000). Q remains a subject of heated debate. The Q material consists mainly of sayings of Jesus, but begins with some sayings of John the Baptist. For the most part narratives are missing; most conspicuously of all is the Passion Narrative. This critical text edition includes an introduction; the running text of Q; new translations of Q in English, German, and French; the fully formatted Greek text of Q with parallels in Matthew, Luke, Mark, Gospel of Thomas, and other gospels wherever relevant; a concordance; and a bibliography. --From publisher's description.
