« Nous assistons probablement, et je le souhaite de tout coeur, au passage à un stade éthique supérieur où la pensée humaniste s’émancipe de son cadre anthropocentrique pour s’étendre à tous les êtres sensibles qui peuplent la Terre. Dès lors, faire preuve d’“humanité” ne signifie plus simplement respecter les autres êtres humains, mais tout être vivant, selon son degré de sensibilité et de conscience. La vie s’est exprimée sur Terre à travers une foisonnante diversité. Puisque l’être humain est aujourd’hui l’espèce la plus consciente et la plus puissante, puisse-t-il utiliser ses forces non plus pour exploiter et détruire ces formes de vie, mais pour les protéger et les servir. C’est pour moi notre plus belle vocation : protecteurs et serviteurs du monde. » Frédéric Lenoir

This book investigates relations between humans and animals over several centuries with a focus on the Middle Ages, since important features of our perceptions regarding animals have been rooted in that period. Elucidating various aspects of medieval human-animal relationships requires transdisciplinary discourse, and so this book aims to reconcile the materiality of animals with complex cultural systems illustrating their subtle transitions 'between body and mind'.

The international bestseller and award-winning thriller that takes its reader on a richly imaginative journey to the depths of Mont-Saint-Michel. Rising out of the sea on a rocky isle off the coast of France, the church and abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel have withstood the harsh northern weather--and withheld its darkest medieval mysteries--for one thousand years. Until now. Now a young, brilliant archeologist, Johanna, has begun to uncover and explore secrets that have long lain buried at the sacred site. In ancient ritual, in foreboding visions, in an expedition at once metaphysical and archeological, Johanna ardently researches the past only to discover that its bizarre, murderous history has begun to be repeated in the present. Reality becomes an elusive, dangerous place, and it leaves Joanna with no one she can fully trust.
