Joël Dicker. Le Tigre. Rosie et Wolfe en poche, 2025

En 1903, un terrible fait divers secoue l’Empire russe: un village entier est massacré par un tigre. Le félin ne semble pas près de s’arrêter là. Il multiplie les attaques et fait régner la terreur jusqu’à Saint-Pétersbourg.

Le Tsar promet alors une récompense fabuleuse à qui parviendra à abattre le fauve: le poids du tigre en pièces d’or.

Les chasseurs de prime affluent vers la Sibérie, mais sans succès. L’animal évente leurs pièges et disparaît dans la steppe.

Jusqu’à ce qu’un jeune Pétersbourgeois, Ivan, décide de se lancer à son tour dans l’aventure. Pour venir à bout du tigre, il conçoit un stratagème aussi implacable que terrifiant. Mais le piège ne risque-t-il pas de se refermer sur lui?

Joël Dicker est né en 1985 à Genève où il vit toujours.
Ses romans, traduits dans le monde entier, ont passionné des millions de lecteurs.

About the author

Nadia Sikorsky

Nadia Sikorsky was born and raised in Moscow. She graduated from the Faculty of Journalism at Moscow State University and went on to complete her postgraduate studies there, earning a PhD in History. She spent 13 years at UNESCO, first in Paris and then in Geneva. After serving as Director of Communications at Green Cross International, founded by Mikhail Gorbachev, she launched NashaGazeta.ch in 2007, Switzerland’s first Russian-language online daily newspaper.

In 2022, Nadia Sikorsky was named to Le Temps’ Forum des 100, which brings together individuals who, in the newspaper’s view, have “significantly contributed to the success of French-speaking Switzerland”, from across public life, business, politics, science and culture.

After 18 years at the helm of NashaGazeta.ch, Nadia Sikorsky decided to devote herself to what had always held a special place in her work as a journalist: culture in all its diversity. This led to the creation of Russian Accent, a trilingual cultural blog in Russian, French and English, born in the heart of Europe, in Switzerland, which has become her second home and whose multiculturalism and multilingualism have helped shape the character of this new project.

At the heart of the project is the perspective of a European of Russian origin, drawing on more than 35 years of professional experience and a deep knowledge of both cultural traditions. Nadia Sikorsky sees her role as that of a cultural mediator between the two. The title of the blog, Russian Accent, reflects this idea: the accent is neither a linguistic barrier nor a political position, but a distinctive cultural imprint within a European context.
