Title: Foreign Body - Didier van Cauwelaert - book
Summary :
Can one change one's life for love, become someone new under another identity, without sacrificing one's usual existence? This is what Frédéric will dare. At eighteen, he had published a novel under the name Richard Glen that went unnoticed, then he had given up writing; he had conquered Paris in another way... But one day, a young student from Bruges sent a letter to this forgotten pseudonym, to this part of himself that had been dormant for more than twenty years. From unknown temptations to the joys of imposture, he will invent another past, another present in Karine's eyes, making Richard Glen more and more real, more and more alive... But how long can two personalities share a body? With his humor and relentless tenderness, the novelist of Un aller simple , winner of the 1994 Prix Goncourt, draws us into a poignant story that explores the secret dream of many of us.

Title: The River of Hope - Volume 3 - The Soul of the Valley - Christian Signol - book
Summary : With Benjamin's return, the Donadieus have resumed their lives, punctuated by the rising and falling of their "River of Hope," the Dordogne. But progress, the magic word of the 19th century, leaves them little respite. The expansion of the railway network and the competition waged by the railways through low prices gradually reduce the river trade to ruin. Benjamin and Marie no longer have a choice: they must leave Souillac, their beloved valley, to go up into the high country to work in the timber trade. An uprooting, a new heartbreak, and a world to discover, that of lumberjacks and the dark forests of the hills... "Christian Signol breathes into the anonymous destinies of his characters a breadth and a sincerity, a humility too, which are rare things... It is this art of the simple and the true which makes the charm and the success of his books..." Laurence Vidal – Le Figaro

Title: Such a beautiful school - Christian Signol - book
Summary : Becoming a teacher was the dream of many children in France immediately after the war. Ornella, for example, fought hard to get into the École Normale, but success was just around the corner and led her to her first position as a schoolteacher in Ségalières, a remote village in the highlands of the Lot region, in October 1954. There, she encountered hostility from the mayor, the priest, and the locals, who needed their children on the farms. A new position awaited her in Peyrignac, on the Causse, where she would share a class with Pierre, the son of a lord of the manor from Cahors. Between these two teachers from different backgrounds but who lived only for their profession, it was love at first sight, overshadowed only by the Algerian War. Over the years, with the school reforms, they will pursue their careers with the same passion until a ministerial decision transforms them into "school teachers" in 1989. The school of yesteryear, its smell of chalk and purple ink, its teachers heirs to the hussars of the Third Republic, respected by all, exemplary and devoted, this is what Christian Signol evokes with great emotion and truth in this beautiful novel which also relates half a century of the history of a French society, whose school symbolized success and hope for the future.

Title: The Ernetti Machine - Roland Portiche - book
Summary :
The incredible true story of a time machine hidden in the secret Vatican archives!
March 1938. Italian physicist Ettore Majorana disappears off the coast of Sicily. With him, the secret project he had been working on for years.
Autumn 1955. The missing physicist's notes are miraculously found. They inspired Father Ernetti with a crazy idea: to build a time machine. A chronovisor.
On the orders of Pius XII, the priest travels back two thousand years. The goal is simple: to prove the existence of Christ. A mad race begins between the Vatican, the CIA, the KGB, and the Mossad. What Father Ernetti discovers, in the midst of the Cold War, could change the world order.

" The Ernetti Machine is of the caliber of The Da Vinci Code . The novel is built like a TV series, with the ingredients that made Dan Brown's success: short chapters, cascading twists, and a frantic pace. Mohammed Aïssaoui, Le Figaro
“Somewhere between The Da Vinci Code And James Bond, Roland Portiche entertains us with a devilishly fast-paced thriller, full of dangerous spies and sordid kidnappings, and mischievously questions the origins of Christianity. Gospel: we're already praying for a sequel! Paris Match "This quantum thriller dusts off one of the Vatican's most fascinating mysteries and awakens the Dan-Brownian fiber that lies dormant within us" Julie Malaure, The Point
“The suspenseful and brilliantly woven plot threads make this debut novel an impossible-to-put-down thriller.” Point of view
“A Catholic thriller... Master of suspense, Roland Portiche draws us in, captivates us, makes our heads spin.” RCF
“Masterfully conducted, this Ernetti Machine is read, assembled and disassembled with jubilation. Le Figaro Magazine
