Pour les Inuits, cet engagement témoigne à quel point il est aujourd'hui nécessaire de prendre la parole par l'écriture, pour transmettre et faire connaître leur...

The year 1984 has come and gone, but George Orwell's nightmare vision from 1949 of the world we are becoming is timelier that ever. 1984 is the great modern classic of a 'negative utopia' - a startlingly original and haunting novel that creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing
