Title : Poems - Paul Valéry - book
Summary : The Lover of Poems IF I suddenly look at my true thought, I cannot console myself for having to endure this interior speech without a person and without origin; these ephemeral figures; and this infinity of enterprises interrupted by their own facility, which transform one into the other, without anything changing with them. Incoherent without appearing so, instantly null as it is spontaneous, thought, by its nature, lacks style. BUT I do not have every day the power to propose to my attention a few necessary beings, nor to feign the spiritual obstacles which would form an appearance of beginning, of fullness and of end, in place of my unbearable flight. A poem is a duration, during which, reader, I breathe a law which was prepared; I give my breath and the machines of my voice; or only their power, which is reconciled with silence. I abandon myself to the adorable allure: to read, to live where the words lead. Their appearance is written. Their concerted sonorities. Their shaking is composed, according to a previous meditation, and they will rush into the resonance in magnificent or pure groups. Even my astonishments are assured: they are hidden in advance, and are part of the number. Moved by the fatal writing, and if the ever-future meter chains my memory without return, I feel each word in all its force, for having waited for it indefinitely. This measure which transports me and which I color, protects me from true and false. Neither doubt divides me, nor reason works on me. No chance, but an extraordinary chance strengthens itself. I find without effort the language of this happiness; and I think by artifice, a thought quite certain, marvelously far-sighted, - with calculated gaps, without involuntary darkness, whose movement commands me and whose quantity fills me: a singularly accomplished thought.

Title : The painting by the Flemish Master - Arturo Pérez-Reverte - book
Summary : On the canvas, painted five centuries ago, a lord and a knight are playing chess, watched from the background by a woman in black. A curious detail: the painter executed this painting two years after the mysterious death of one of the players and wrote the inscription "Who took the knight?", also translated as "Who killed the knight?" All this would only arouse the passions of collectors if violent deaths did not seem to continue the game in suspense on the canvas. And this is how history, painting, mathematical logic multiply the dimensions of a plot itself as dizzying as chess... A work of astonishing originality, translated into many countries and awarded the Grand Prix de littérature policière in France in 1993.

Title : The Monhegan Lighthouse - Richard Russo - book
Summary :
A man rediscovers his missing wife through the eyes of her lover and falls in love all over again. While writing her memoirs, a nun understands the secret of her birth; during a trip, an old professor measures the distance that separates him from his wife... These are the stories that populate this collection, moments of existence where the masks fall and the characters finally stop lying to each other.

"Russo questions the passing of time, lies and silences, this strange cement that holds couples together. He has a music all his own. It seems as simple as anything. It requires incredible talent."

Title : Goya of Gold and Blood - Jeannine Baticle - book
Summary : After producing a few religiously inspired works in Zaragoza, Francisco Goya set out to conquer Madrid in 1775. He was 25 years old. A witness to everyday life in The Wounded Mason or The Grape Harvest, he also evoked the festivals and traditions of Spain in A Hunter and His Dogs or The Puppet. Painter of the Court and its gold from 1785, he lent his talent to kings, ministers, and princesses as well as to bullfighters, poets, and courtesans. His criticism of Spanish morals and politics, sharpened by his liberal friends, gave rise to the Caprices. His pictorial harangues reached their peak after 1805, with the French occupation and then the repression of the popular rebellion by the Napoleonic armies. In The Second and Third of May and The Disasters of War, he painted the abuse of power, the suffering of the Spanish people, and the bloodshed. In disgrace during the reign of Ferdinand VII, Goya settled in Bordeaux, France. Jeannine Baticle recreates the journey and perspective of a brilliant portraitist, a lucid and solitary man.
