Vient de paraître
Malcolm Menzies, En exil chez les hommes, Paris, Rue des cascades, 2007. 18 € - ISBN 978-2-917051-023
Auteur de Makhno, une épopée. Le soulèvement anarchiste en Ukraine, 1918-1921 (Belfond, 1972) et de Trois contes des îles (Corps 9 éditions, 1987), Malcolm Menzies nous fait revivre, après de minutieuses recherches, la parabole désespérée du rebelle Jules Bonnot. Fatalité et volonté se heurtent pour mieux se réunir dans ce roman, évocation fidèle de l'histoire des "bandits tragiques" qui bouleversa la France de 1912.
