Title : The Da Vinci Conspiracy - Marc Sinclair - Book
Summary : What if Dan Brown's famous book, The Da Vinci Code , was just a sham? What if all the media and commercial hype, the controversies, and the phenomenal success of this novel had been created for the sole purpose of concealing a much more destabilizing secret? This is what Seth, a young Franco-American student, will discover, apparently accidentally, during an investigation as thrilling as it is disturbing, which will take him from Florence to Paris via Rome. The reader who follows Seth in his investigation will come to know a number of astonishing (and true) information on the sacred geography of Paris and Rome, on the hidden symbolism of Renaissance art as well as on the philosophical, alchemical and spiritual values which underlie it. A novel as fascinating as it is essential.

Title : Missing Father, Missed Son - Guy Corneau - Book
Summary : This book is not only about the physical absence of the father; it questions the silence that isolates fathers from sons today and gives the latter the impression of having been poorly fathered. What if these missing fathers had inevitably engendered failed sons? This crucial question led Guy Corneau to ask why the condition of man is so uncomfortable today, why men are afraid of intimacy, why they dread this aggressiveness that they repress deep within themselves, why they feel obliged to play the hero, the eternal adolescent, the seducer, the good boy... why it is so difficult to become a fully-fledged man in our societies where the initiation rites of adolescence have disappeared. This book is important because it breaks the silence. For failed sons, it is the only way to heal the wounded father within them.

Title : Sauveterre - Jean Lartéguy - Book
Summary : In this novel, the places, the situations, the characters, even if they have well-known names, everything is imaginary. I chose the title Sauveterre for its meaning: safe land, land of asylum. There does exist in Lozère, between Sainte-Enimie and Mende, a Causse of this name. But there were never any Protestants or resistance fighters. They only passed through, like the Huguenots who inflicted a bloody defeat on the royalists at the tower of Mazel, like the resistance fighters returning from Mont Lozère who were massacred on parade on the Méjean, while they were trying to reach the Cévennes. I would like, however, to see what belongs to all the Causses there: the abandoned farms, whose roofs are collapsing, revealing their Romanesque vaults. Winter, the bitter winds and the snow that torment them; in summer, the sotchs, blue basins, green ponds of living grass in the middle of the burnt and dead plateaus and, all year round, the great flocks of sheep that wander, harassed by dogs. I dedicate this book to the memory of my great-grandmother, the Césarde de Peyrevioles and to all the old Césardes, proud and solitary of the country of Peyres, of the Margeride, of the Causses and of the Cévennes. Alone, they still remember the few groups of resistance fighters, equipped with hunting rifles, who preferred the encounter with wild boars to that of the Germans, the deserters from the Napoleonic wars who had chosen to live in the forest, rather than die in glory, the Camisards hunted by the dragoons of Villars, and the Knights Templar who disguised themselves as peasants to escape the guards of Philip the Fair. It was they who transmitted to me their cult of the damned, and their distrust of all the forms that power has taken over the centuries.
