Summary : "I'm willing to have been distracted lately, but I know that if I had run into that girl in the elevator or the lobby, I would have remembered her.

Title : Champollion the Egyptian - Christian Jacq - Book
Summary : New edition updated and completed with rediscovered texts. This work was intended, conceived and produced by René Nelli in 1959, with the aim of offering the reader, in an accessible form - in French translation - but with a constant concern for historical rigor and critical intelligence, all the original texts written by the Cathars, which date from the 11th-14th centuries. Cathar Writings is composed of a Bogomil apocryphal text (The Interrogatio Johannis or Secret Supper), two treatises (Anonymous Treatise and Book of the Two Principles), three rituals (Latin ritual of Florence, Occitan rituals of Lyon and Dublin), texts presented, translated and commented by René Nelli. These Cathar writings rectify with infinite precision and sensitivity the sometimes sweeping vision of the inquisitors, which was for a long time the only documentary source available to researchers. They fortunately complete the information where there was a gap, reorienting perspectives that seemed confusing. Described and decried as a Manichean heresy by medieval Catholic polemics, Catharism defines itself as a Christian requirement, in its own books.

Title : Our Human Friends - Bernard Werber - Book
Summary :
Are humans intelligent? Are they dangerous? Are they edible? Are they digestible? Can we breed them? Can we tame them? Can we discuss with them as equals? These are the questions that extraterrestrials may ask us. To get to the bottom of it, they kidnap two Earthlings, a male and a female, Raoul and Samantha. They place them in a human cage to study them in peace. A "human cage." They hope to witness a reproduction in captivity. The problem is, Raoul is a misanthropic scientist and Samantha is a romantic tiger tamer. It's not easy in this case for our two guinea pigs to understand each other and, a fortiori, to love each other... With this book, written as a philosophical closed-door session, Bernard Werber presents us with a new facet of his art. Once again, he invites us to take a step back, to have a different perspective to understand humanity "differently".
