Melchior l'Apothicaire est devenu bien solitaire. Il a même quelque peu délaissé l'art des remèdes depuis que sa fille est partie au couvent s'occuper du carré des simples et que son fils, en apprentissage au loin, est en proie à d'autres tourments. En cet an 1432, les fastueux préparatifs de la Fête-Dieu occupent la guilde du Saint-Sacrement. Lorsqu'un moine découvre un vieux manuscrit, une chronique riche en révélations sur la cité de Tallinn, c'est un vif émoi qui se répand du monastère jusqu'à l'hospice Saint-Jean et sa léproserie. Pendaison et empoisonnement chez les dominicains, voilà de quoi sortir Melchior de sa torpeur. Epaulé parla pressante dame Bertha, l'apothicaire entreprend de faire éclater la vérité, malgré les lourds secrets d'alcôves et la charte qui lie entre eux les frères de la guilde. Polar médiéval sensuel et envoûtant, voici Le Nom de la rose estonien.

To linger with Takayuki Haradas words about Kalawao and Kalaupapa is to take a quiet pilgrimage to that place of contradictions, guided by his beloved brother, Paul, who lived there more than 60 years. Kalaupapa In Poetry is an expression of faith, hope and enduring love by one whose personal odyssey to that isolated spot began when he visited his brother who had been sent there years earlier. Haradas poems speak of a bright paradise holding deep, overwhelming sorrow, a place touched by the hand of God, and the man Damien who, in fervent imitation of Christ, became one with his sheep. And love rang out. The collection of reflections is primarily a tribute to his brother Paul, whose tragic separation from the family was transformed into a mysterious and profound blessing. Paul died on January 4, 2008. It is also a song of gratitude for being allowed to experience one of the worlds most beautiful, tranquil and spiritual settings. For those of you not able to visit Kalaupapa, let Taka Harada take you there through the light and breath of his poetry. What you will experience in your heart will be as good as being there.

"The unknown story of the only leprosy colony in the continental United States, and the thousands of Americans who were exiled--hidden away with their "shameful" disease. Between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, the Mississippi River curls around an old plantation thick with trees, with a stately white manor house at its heart. Locals knew it as Carville--the site of the only leprosarium in the continental United States from 1894 until 1999, where generations of afflicted Americans were isolated, often until death. While experts today know that leprosy is not nearly as contagious as once feared, there remains a virulent stigma around those who suffer from it. Pam Fessler tells the story of Carville's patients against the backdrop of America's slowly shifting attitudes toward those cast aside as "others." She also reveals how patients rallied together with an unlikely team of nuns, researchers, and doctors to find a cure for the disease, and to fight the insidious stigma that surrounded it. With original interviews and newly discovered archival material, Fessler presents an essential history of one of America's most shameful secrets"--
