L'enseignement vu autrement relate les anecdotes de la vie de Jacqueline Poiraud qui, malgré sa cécité, enseignait le français dans des collèges et lycées prestigieux comme Lavoisier à Paris V. L'auteure y raconte comment elle a pu transmettre la connaissance littéraire à des milliers de jeunes élèves et ainsi exalter leur goût de la vie, et pour certains leur donner le virus de la poésie. Ce livre est un pur témoignage de ses réussites au moyen duquel elle nous invite à aller de l'avant, malgré les multiples embûches. À PROPOS DE L'AUTEURE Tout en menant sa carrière de poète et chanteuse, Jacqueline Poiraud a animé, pendant une dizaine d'années, un atelier de « parole poétique » au centre Sèvres à Paris. À la suite de plusieurs ouvrages, elle signe ici le mémorial de sa passionnante activité d'enseignante « vue » sous un autre angle.

First published in 1882 `The Giant of the North' is an imaginative children's adventure tale from prolific Scottish author R.M. Ballantyne. Captain Vane, along with his son Benjamin and nephews Leo and Alf are on an adventure, searching for the elusive North Pole. When their ship runs aground, the group must venture out across the icy expanse to find help, and along the way they find themselves caught up in a series of mishaps and escapades as they navigate this unfamiliar terrain. A thrilling tale from the much-loved author. R.M. Ballantyne (1825-1894) was a Scottish artist and prolific author of mostly children's fiction. Born in Edinburgh, Ballantyne was the ninth of ten children. At the age of 16 Ballantyne moved to Canada, where he worked for the Hudson's Bay Company, travelling all over the country to trade for fur. He returned to Scotland in 1847 following the death of his father, and it was then that he began his literary career in earnest, writing over 100 children's adventure books over the course of his life. Stories such as `The Coral Island' and `The Young Fur Traders' were hugely popular, and many of them drew on his own experiences of travelling throughout Canada. A stickler for detail, Ballantyne continued to travel widely to research the backgrounds and settings for his exciting stories. His tales became an inspiration for authors of the future, including `Treasure Island' novelist Robert Louis Stevenson. Ballantyne spent the latter period of his life living in London and Italy for the sake of his health. He died in Rome in 1894 at the age of 68.
