La Revue Écossaise – Tome 2/6

What is La Revue Écossaise? We're back! After the success of the first issue of La Revue Écossaise, released in November 2022, we're rolling up our sleeves to create the second installment of our uniquely ambitious project: painting a portrait of Scotland in six issues, to show you this nation in a new light. In our first issue, we explored the theme of "What brings us together" and met Scots who extend their arms, Francophones who build bridges, and places with doors always open. In this nearly completed second issue, we've chosen an equally fascinating theme: Scotland as a laboratory. How does the Scottish nation take the lead in the scientific scene? What innovations have emerged in Scotland, and what does the future hold for Scotland? 150 pages and 450 grams of reports, interviews, and debates that will give you the keys to a resounding Scotland, a nation that continues to inspire the world and innovate, but also finds itself in deep reflection. We take the time to explore each topic in depth, following a slow journalism approach, to offer you an immersive, enriching, and unforgettable reading experience. From the front cover to the very last page, with its translucent overlay that left a lasting impression on readers in the first issue, La Revue Écossaise is an invitation to discovery, contemplation, and reflection. So, join us in this exciting adventure and discover Scotland like you've never seen it before with La Revue Écossaise! What can you expect to read in this issue? In the Society section, dive into the world of utopia and innovation as we explore Scotland as a laboratory of progress. Then, discover how this nation is at the forefront of the space sector and explore the city of the future. In the Culture section, explore Scottish science fiction embodied by Harry Josephine Giles, share the thirst for exploration of Robert Louis Stevenson, and delve into the rebellion that permeates every thread of the tartan. In our Portfolio, you will be transported to a playful, colorful, and retro-futuristic universe inspired by Scotland's most iconic video games. It's a tribute to the world of Scottish video games created by a young Scottish illustrator to whom we have given free rein. In our History section, embark on a fascinating journey through the Scottish Enlightenment and follow the epic story of Scottish thinkers who have influenced the modern world. Discover the Scottish inventions that have shaped history and without which we couldn't imagine living, beautifully illustrated by artist Delphine Tirole. In our Travel section, hop on a train for a railway escapade along the spectacular Kyle Line in the Highlands, then head to Glasgow to explore the city through the eyes of its local communities. Finally, breathe in the fresh air and iodine with a hike along the shores of Sandwood Bay in the north of Scotland. Who is behind La Revue Écossaise ?
