But when one of Daemon's fan girls turns up dead - and drained of all her blood - Esther is determined to help.

It’s not often that you come across a document of such religious and historical importance as The Septuagint Genesis – in fact its significance would be hard to overstate. But what is the Septuagint? Well, its name refers to the “seventy’ (actually 72) translators – six from each tribe of Israel – who translated the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek, the primary language of Jews in Egypt at the time. This, the oldest and arguably most important translation, was the version of The Bible that Jesus himself would have read – and the one from which almost all the New Testament’s writers were quoting.

​Comment faire de notre passé une force d'avenir ? Enfance, éducation, souvenirs heureux ou traumatiques : notre passé ne passe pas. Il est toujours présent. Il nous appartient alors d'établir une relation apaisée et féconde avec notre mémoire. Celle-ci n'est pas, comme on le pense souvent, un stock de données. Les neurosciences nous apprennent, au contraire, que la mémoire est dynamique, mouvante. Nos souvenirs ne sont pas figés, ils s'apparentent à une partition à interpréter. Notre rapport au passé doit être repensé.

The great Austrian writer Stefan Zweig confided in his autobiography: “I have a pretty thorough knowledge of history, but never, to my recollection, has it produced such madness in such gigantic proportions.” He was referring to Germany in 1923, a “year of lunacy,” defined by hyperinflation, violence, a political system on the verge of collapse, the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, and separatist movements threatening to rip apart the German nation. Bestselling author Volker Ullrich presents a riveting chronicle of one of the most difficult years any modern democracy has ever faced.
