Les yeux perdus dons l'immensité galactique, le jeune Kadyn se morfond devant le hublot du vaisseau convoyeur piloté par son père Gil. Et quoi de mieux pour tromper l'ennui que d'inspecté, sans y être autorisé, la précieuse cargaison provenant d'un musée alien... ? Séparés lors de l'explosion du vaisseau, Gil et Kadyn dériveront dans l'espace, l'un, désespéré, à la recherche de son fils, l'autre, émerveillé par les rencontres exotiques qui rythmeront son odyssée. Un récit d'exploration spatiale qui rappelle l'épopée de L'Histoire sans fin, par le duo d'auteurs Jason Aaron (Southern bastards, Thor) et Dennis Hallum (Vader : Dark Visions), avec les illustrations éblouissantes de Stephen Green (Hellboy & the BPRD) et les couleurs cosmiques de Rico Renzi (Spider-Gwen).

Is there such a thing as a European identity ? Amidst all the kaleidoscopic variety what do the 28 members of the European Union have in common ? The facts of history have created shared interests and cultural connections that, in the end, are more important than the differences. We know we are different from Asia ; and we are more different from America than we - perhaps especially the British - think. In a 21st century of globalisation and emerging great powers, Europe will have to discover and define that common identity. This is the challenge for all the big states of the EU. Europe clearly has something distinctive and vitally important to offer : it is the experience of a unique journey through centuries of exploration and conflict, errors and learnings, soul-searching and rebuilding. It is an experience of universal significance. One way or another, the world will have to learn these lessons, and it will certainly be the poorer if this European voice is not heard.

The European Identity - Historical and Cultural Realities We Cannot Deny

How should we create wealth in societies, and why is it right and necessary to do so? What improves the lives of the largest number of people? And how do we, living in a globalised world caught in an age of financial and ecological turbulence, respond to the differing needs of individuals and institutions? In Good Value Stephen Green, Chairman of HSBC, puts forward a modest proposal: despite the current crisis, the world may well need a financial industry. What we need inside that industry are good bankers. Do businesses – and banks in particular - have a duty to society that goes beyond the creation of profit? Does open market capitalism remain our best hope for creating wealth that benefits all aspects of society? And how can individuals, who work in profit-making workplaces, combine their moral, spiritual and ethical selves with their everyday work? Good Value presents us with a possibility: that through good bankers come good banking, and through good banking comes a richer, more dynamic world.
