Title : The Cods - Titiou Lecoq - book Summary : This is the story of the Morues, three girls - Ema, Gabrielle, and Alice - and a boy - Fred - thirty-something feminists caught up in their romantic and professional turpitudes. A book that begins with a tribute to Kurt Cobain, continues like a detective story, grabs you like a political journalism thriller, reveals the underside of the privatization of public services, and finally ends with a novel about how we love and desire each other in France, in the age of the internet. It is the novel of an era, ours. Thrilling in its thriller section, sensitive when it recounts the energy expended by women to preserve their independence, Les Morues paints an insolent portrait of an era without instructions. An excellent first novel. Be. Well written in a neglected scholarly style, this is a stunning, funny and instructive first novel. The Chained Duck.

Title : Greta Garbo - Jean Lacouture - book Summary : It was a September day in 1951, towards the end of the morning. On the sidewalk of the Rue de Rivoli, along the arcades between the Louvre and the Concorde, I saw two tall women approaching me. The face of one suddenly caught my eye. That face? Yes, it was her! No glasses, no protective hat, her hair down to her shoulders in large, light locks, a marine look. Already, I had to turn around to see her. And I, who had never dared to follow a woman in the street, envying the audacity of the heroes of Morand and Drieu, fell in step with her along the paths of the Tuileries...

Title : The Contemplations. Books IV-V - Victor Hugo - book Summary : "What are Les Contemplations? It is what one could call, if the word had no pretension, the Memoirs of a Soul" (Preface). Few poetic works refer more openly to their historical and biographical context than this one. Published in 1856, Les Contemplations bears the mark of a double mourning: the loss of the poet's daughter, Léopoldine, and the symbolic death represented by exile. But what is at stake touches on the power of poetic speech: through contemplation, plunged into the depths of oneself from which poetry must emerge, Hugo makes heartbreak a creative act and the lyrical word the instrument of a search for the absolute.

Title : In the Spring of Monsters - Philippe Jaenada - book Summary : This story is no picnic to summarize. You have to proceed calmly. It's a true story, as they say. An eleven-year-old boy is abducted in Paris one evening in the spring of 1964. Luc Taron. (If you'd rather discover the story in the book, don't read on: stop!) His body is found the next day in a suburban forest. He was murdered for no apparent reason. For more than a month, a madman floods the media and the police with insane letters of demand, signed "The Strangler"; he even addresses vile, diabolical, cruel words to the child's horrified parents. He is finally arrested. He is an ordinary young man, a nurse. He confesses to the murder, is incarcerated, and ostracized from society for the rest of his life. End of story. But of course, if it were that simple, I wouldn't have spent four years writing this big thing (I'm not crazy). In this nascent society that will become ours, everything is murky, everything is artificial. Everyone fakes, lies, cheats. Except for one woman, a point of light. And what we knew is confirmed: the perverts, the madmen, the odious, the monsters are not often those we point to. EAN: 9782080238184 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : Memories of Low Tide - Chantal Thomas - book Summary : Swimming. Swimming to escape constraints, to escape imposed lives, reduced destinies. Swimming to invent her sensuality, to preserve her fantasy. This is what Jackie undoubtedly felt all her life, which began in 1919 and was led according to a secret, stubborn freedom, which made her, at a very advanced age, travel miles to go swimming on her favorite beach, in Villefranche-sur-Mer. In the meantime, she had married, left Lyon for Arcachon, and then, as a young widow, had exchanged Cap Ferret for Cap Ferrat, with its warmer sea, its great summer. What did she leave to her daughter Chantal? Something untamed, or discreetly rebellious, and this intuition that swimming, this practice that leaves no trace, is the opportunity for an elusive freedom, like when, as a young girl in the early 1930s, Jackie casually swam a few lengths in the Grand Canal at the Palace of Versailles under the astonished gaze of the gardeners.
