Title : Black Water Lilies - Michel Bussi - Book
Summary : "Three women lived in a village. The first was mean, the second was a liar, the third was selfish. Yet they had one thing in common, a secret of sorts: all three dreamed of running away..." An eleven-year-old girl with a gift for painting, a formidably attractive schoolteacher, and an old woman with owlish eyes who knows and sees everything form the starting point of the plot. In Giverny, Jérôme Morval, an ophthalmic surgeon and local boy, has been found murdered near the Epte River. For Laurenç Sérénac, fresh out of the Toulouse police academy, the suspect is obvious: Jacques Dupain, husband of the beautiful schoolteacher, Stéphanie. Could this case echo the murder of little Albert Rosalba, found dead in the same circumstances in 1937? The old woman who knows and sees everything, a narrator in her spare time, guides the reader through her wanderings in Giverny, and, little by little, confides: she alone holds the truth. But what truth? For in the reflection of a painting by an exceptional master, Water Lilies, past and present merge, murders and passions are resurrected when youth and death defy time...

Title : Wuthering Heights - Emily Brontë - Book
Summary : Emily Brontë, then, possesses the most singular of powers: that of her dependence on facts. With a few touches, she can evoke the soul of a face and make the body superfluous; speaking of the moor, she makes the wind blow and the thunder rumble. Virginia Woolf. When, among all the trees, I look for the one whose form best harmonizes with the setting of Emily Brontë's tragic novel, it is the image of an old, twisted locust tree that comes to mind, an old, twisted locust tree twisted by the wind that always blows in the same direction; the bark is black, the trunk is hollow, and in this hollow, the rain has formed a small puddle in which a few dead leaves bathe. John Cowper Powys.

Title : Balzac - A Life of Novels - Gonzague Saint Bris - Book
Summary :
“Let’s talk about Balzac, it feels good!” Gerard de Nerval
The life of Honoré de Balzac is a prodigious novel: unloved child of an indifferent mother, solitary schoolboy, perpetually bankrupt publisher, socialite riddled with debt, gastronomic ogre, unfortunate pineapple importer, wandering traveler on the roads of Europe, darling adored by female readers but rejected by the Académie Française, fabulously tenacious lover, he is according to Baudelaire "the most curious, the most comical, the most interesting and the most vain of the characters in La Comédie humaine." What Balzac hides in his life, he reveals in his work and Gonzague Saint Bris draws up a dizzying inventory of the passions that ran through him: Balzac and money, Balzac and the condition of women, Balzac and science, Balzac and coffee, Balzac and Napoleon, Balzac and photography, Balzac and music, Balzac and the occult, Balzac and journalism.
At the end of a biography of a new genre, abundant and enthusiastic, he invites us to immerse ourselves with delight and relish in the heart of the 142 novels of La Comédie humaine and its 2,500 characters. It brings to light twenty little-known "gems" and ten "unmissable" novels, jewels from the fabulous pantheon of the literary colossus, a true convict of letters with the "supernatural light" hailed by François Mauriac. Author of around forty essays and novels (Interallié Prize 2002 for Les Vieillards de Brighton), historical portraits (La Fayette, François Ier, Henri IV), Gonzague Saint Bris is the biographer of the Romantics (Vigny, Dumas, George Sand, Marie d'Agoult, La Malibran, Musset). A descendant of the Mames, publishers and printers of Balzac, president of the Honoré de Balzac de Touraine society, author of Le Bel Appétit de Monsieur de Balzac and Je vous aime, inconnue, Balzac et Éva Hanska, initiator of La Grande Marche du Bicentenaire de Tours à Saché, Gonzague Saint Bris devoted thirty years to the most fascinating figure in French literature.
