Lisette and her friend Bobbi the lizard have never told a lie. But they are eager to try—it might be fun! They tell Popof they are going for a trip to the mountains. When Popof decides to come too, they realize they’ll have to make the mountain. A liar needs to improvise. In this funny story about imaginative play with friends, Lisette’s creativity and quick thinking make for a wonderful day out. Lisette’s Lie gently explores the differences between storytelling and lies and the importance of good intentions.

When the convent where she has been living burns down, twelve-year-old orphan Lisette barely escapes with her life. The nuns think she died in the fire, but Lisette sees a chance to escape the drudgery of lacemaking under a cruel, greedy Mother Superior. She sets out alone to find the uncle who left her at the convent when she was six, yet things don't go quite as she planned. When an opportunity arises to escape her troubles in France and start a new life at the Fortress of Louisbourg, clever and resourceful Lisette jumps at the chance. But is someone following her? This middle-grade novel by the Nova Scotian author of Iain of New Scotland is set in 1749 when the British have handed the Fortress of Louisbourg back to the French.

Featuring over 200 exquisite reproductions of Model’s most iconic works, this stunning volume celebrates a mid-twentieth century visionary whose photography captured the raw, dynamic spirit of urban life and its striking social contrasts. Lisette Model’s journey from her Viennese roots to her groundbreaking career in New York unfolds in this comprehensive collection of works spanning 1933 to 1959. Featuring her famous Coney Island Bather and Cafe Metropole photographs, as well as never-before-seen pieces, the book immerses readers in her distinctive style—equal parts confrontational and compassionate. Model’s self-taught approach to photography flourished during her years in France. Her early portraits of idle elites in Nice delivered biting social critiques, marking her as a bold new voice in visual storytelling. After emigrating to New York, her work graced the pages of Harper’s Bazaar and other leading magazines, showcasing the vivid contrasts of urban life, from the impoverished Lower East Side to high-society gatherings. Complemented by melancholic studies from her later travels to the U.S. West Coast and Venezuela, this collection underscores Model’s enduring relevance. Featuring insightful commentary from Walter Moser, this book is a must- have for photography enthusiasts and anyone intrigued by the intersection of art, history, and social critique.

Published on the occasion of the first Italian anthological exhibition dedicated to her, the volume retraces the successful work of Lisette Model, an artist of Austrian origin who had great importance in the development of photography in the Fifties and Sixties. Parallel to her teaching activity - she had among her students authors who later became famous such as Diane Arbus and Larry Fink - Lisette Model was an ironic and irreverent photographer, able to capture in her shots the most grotesque aspects of post-war American society. Alongside the most famous series - such as Promenade des Anglais, created in Nice, or the photographs dedicated to New Yorkers or the very suggestive ones made in jazz clubs - the book also includes lesser-known projects, which account for her personal and sardonic photographic language. The close-up shots, the recurring use of the flash, the exasperated contrasts are the expedients that the author resorts to in order to accentuate the imperfections of the bodies and the coarse gestures of her subjects, transformed into the characters of a sneering human comedy: an approach to reality that made Lisette Model the forerunner of a way of using photography that would find full realisation only in the following decades. Text in English and Italian.

Independent and beautiful, lisabeth Vig e, affectionately called Lisette by friends and family, has progressed in the art of oil painting faster than anyone could have anticipated. Having received instruction from her beloved father, Louis Vig e, a prominent Parisian guild painter, Lisette possesses all the qualities of a brilliant young painter, but is saddled with a singular disadvantage - being a woman.

Lisette finds support in a dashing art collector and French Army officer named Amante, who is clearly intrigued by her talent and beauty. After Lisette's father dies unexpectedly, her family is left in dire financial straits. Lisette wants to support her family, but before she can sell a single painting, her mother marries a wealthy merchant jeweler named Le S vre. Le S vre discovers Lisette's artistic abilities and soon has her painting portraits of his noble and wealthy jewelry clientele.

Publi e en feuilleton dans The Cornhill Magazine, de novembre 1863 f vrier 1864, cette longue nouvelle permit sans doute Elizabeth Gaskell de reprendre un peu son souffle litt raire entre les deux tr s longs romans que sont Sylvia's Lovers (1863), une tragique histoire d'amour et de guerre et le magistral Femmes et filles, (1865), dont l'auteur, fauch e en pleine gloire, n'eut pas le temps d' crire le dernier chapitre. Ma cousine Phillis est peut- tre le plus beau t moignage laiss par Mrs Gaskell sur le mode de vie rural de l'Angleterre profonde, bient t vou dispara tre sous les assauts de l'industrialisation. C'est aussi une touchante et m lancolique histoire d'amour, ou peut- tre faudrait-il dire histoire d'amours, car l'auteur nous y peint avec sa finesse coutumi re non seulement une romance entre deux jeunes gens, mais aussi l'amour unissant Phillis et ses parents et celui, tout fraternel, qu' prouve envers elle son cousin Paul, le narrateur de l'histoire, et qu'elle lui rend bien. Il r gne dans ces pages une atmosph re faussement paisible qui n'exclut nullement la profondeur des sentiments et l'univers cr par Mrs Gaskell laissera ses lecteurs un souvenir ind l bile
