It was a wonderful night, such a night as is only possible when we are young, dear reader. The sky was so starry, so bright that, looking at it, one could not help asking oneself whether ill-humoured and capricious people could live under such a sky. That is a youthful question too, dear reader, very youthful, but may the Lord put it more frequently into your heart!... Speaking of capricious and ill-humoured people, I cannot help recalling my moral condition all that day. From early morning I had been oppressed by a strange despondency. It suddenly seemed to me that I was lonely, that every one was forsaking me and going away from me. Of course, any one is entitled to ask who "every one" was.

L’agence des Détectives armés est une organisation spéciale regroupant des enquêteurs dotés de capacités surnaturelles aux noms familiers : Ranpo Edogawa, Junichirô Taniguchi, Kenji Miyazawa et d’autres. Ils n’interviennent que sur les affaires que la police ne parvient pas à résoudre, et se retrouvent souvent confrontés à la Mafia portuaire, qui réunit, elle aussi, des membres extraordinairement dangereux. Mais imaginez un monde où le jeune Ryûnosuke Akutagawa, le célèbre antagoniste de la série, s’est vu recruté par les Détectives armés. Un monde où celui que vous connaissiez en tant que protagoniste, Atsushi Nakajima, est un dangereux tueur à la botte d’une Mafia portuaire plus dangereuse que jamais. Bienvenue dans le monde de Bungô Stray Dogs BEAST.

Le petit Nicolas, un ami d'enfance. L'enfance des préaux bruyants, des cours pavées et des chagrins scolaires.¦L'enfance des affreux jojos en culottes courtes qui subissent, goguenards, les leçons de morale d'un directeur d'école aux lunettes si sévères et au regard tellement indulgent. Le temps de l'argent de poche, et celui des poches trouées.

La singulière et marginale Charlotte de ##La nouvelle maîtresse## refait surface. Cette fois-ci elle occupe le poste de bibliothécaire de Saint-Anatole. Evidemment elle n'est pas bibliothécaire de formation. Le classement et le rangement des livres ne sont pas conventionnels, mais Charlotte qui parfois est elle-même aspirée par les histoires qu'elle lit, donne aux enfants du village le goût de la lecture. -- Un récit agréable, fantaisiste, plein d'humour, rédigé dans un style descriptif et imagé. Le texte fourmille de délicieux détails qui font sourire. Puisse mademoiselle Charlotte communiquer sa passion du livre aux jeunes et inspirer ... les bibliothcaires.
