Trust
From an award-winning chronicler of our nation's history and its legends comes his much-anticipated novel about wealth and talent, trust and intimacy, truth and perception. Even through the roar and effervescence of the 1920s, everyone in New York has heard of Benjamin and Helen Rask. He is a legendary Wall Street tycoon; she is the brilliant daughter of eccentric aristocrats. Together, they have risen to the very top of a world of seemingly endless wealth. But the secrets around their affluence and grandeur excites gossip. Rumors about Benjamin's financial maneuvers and Helen's reclusiveness start to spread-all as a decade of excess and speculation draws to an end. At what cost have they acquired their immense fortune? This is the mystery at the center of a successful 1938 novel entitled Bonds, which all of New York seems to have read. But it isn't the only version. Hernan Diaz's Trust brilliantly puts the story of these characters into conversation with other accounts-and in tension with the life and perspective of a young woman bent on disentangling fact from fiction. The result is a novel that becomes more exhilarating and profound with each new layer and revelation. Provocative and propulsive, Trust engages the reader in a quest for the truth while confronting the reality-warping gravitational pull of money and how power often manipulates facts. An elegant, multifaceted epic that recovers the voices buried under the myths that justify our foundational inequality, Trust is a literary triumph with a beating heart and urgent stakes.

Access All Arenas (2017,new packaging edition 2LP
(2017 Reissue, neues Packaging) Sozusagen Justices Best Of live. Die Aufnahmen stammen von ihren Gig in Nîmes im Juli 2012, der Teil ihrer fast einjährigen Welt-Tournee war.(2017 Reissue, neues Packaging) With Access All Arenas ist sozusagen Justices Best Of live. Die Aufnahmen stammen von ihren Gig in Nîmes im Juli 2012, der Teil ihrer fast einjährigen Welt-Tournee war. New Packaging 2017 Unique Re-edition : Gatefold, Double Vinyl, Poster 60x30, CD Ten years ago, 'We Are Your Friends' reached our ears and pushed Justice to the front of the scene, a young French duo signed by Pedro Winter on the label he had just created: Ed Banger Records. The record that followed, , was an album of condensed jerky electro, of disco reminiscences and heavy metal energy, with unstoppable tunes like 'D.A.N.C.E', 'Stress' and 'Phantom', and its videos, allowed Justice to follow the 90's French Touch and its filtered disco loop. Since the release of their debut album in 2007, Justice has been tirelessly touring the world by bus, road festival to festival and concerts all over throughout the planet. Since their first tour, the band developed a powerful stage design that they polished and magnified throughout the years and the gigs. The wall of vintage Marshall amps front of the stage, an imposing cross, impressive light shows, and the sound of Justice totally revisited for the live shows. In 2012, the Audio, Video, Disco took them from Australia to United States, Europe and South America. The duo - as laidback on rock festivals main stage (Coachella, Lollapalooza, Les Eurockéennes, Les Vieilles Charrues ) as electro ones (Ultra, Sonar, Melt ) - will perform a hundred of concerts which allow them to master their show. When the first notes of 'Genesis' rang out as an intro, you realized you had just embarked on a one and a half hour sonic roller coaster with their hit songs mashed into a megamix with an epileptic light show. With Access All Arenas, Justice offers a recording of their show in the Nîmes arenas last July, part of their worldwide tour which lasted almost a year, and take the occasion to revisit as a best-of, 10 years of existence, and three albums ( ? , A Cross The Universe et Audio, Video, Disco ), giving us a taste of the wild effervescence and the energy of their lives.
