Things are going badly in Mazargues, a village south of Marseille. While the proposed separation of Church and State is stirring up controversy, a disturbing "miracle" occurs: the parish painting depicting the Descent from the Cross begins to bleed!

Raoul Signoret, the dashing legal columnist for Le Petit Provençal , immediately suspects that the "affair" goes much further: a moral scandal where we discover that religious morality accommodates many vices and, above all, a political issue where the strongest are not those we think... Barral suddenly disappears. Eugène Baruteau, the deputy chief of the Sûreté in charge of the investigation, will have to work with his nephew, Raoul, to unravel a complex mystery... Assisted by the pharmacist Gaudissart and the intrepid Cécile, the pair of investigators are not at the end of their troubles.

Title : A Garden for Summer - Sherryl Woods - book
Summary : Her heart beats faster when she checks her email, her imagination races when she thinks back to the manly face of the man she fell in love with. Moira has to face the facts: she can't forget Luke O'Brien. It must be said that with his messy brown hair, his sometimes serious but sparkling gaze, his irresistible smile, this American who came to spend his vacation in Ireland had little trouble seducing her. Except that after the idyllic month they spent together, Luke has returned to the United States to resume his life, and perhaps even find another woman. While Moira tries to convince herself that everything is for the best, her grandfather asks her to accompany him to Chasepeake Shores, the small town on the East Coast of the United States where Luke lives. Moira hesitates only a few seconds before accepting. Even if, from then on, one question obsesses her: will she be able to convince Luke that there is a place for her in his life?

Title : The Snow of the Geese - Françoise Debris-Poumarat - book
Summary : In the hamlet of La Peyrouse, life could flow simply and peacefully. All it would take for Madeleine, a heartthrob, to marry Martin, Eugène Chabrol's son, and for him to sell his land to Hortense and Baptiste at a bargain price. But nothing, on these heights of the verdant Livradois-Forez, ever goes as planned. First, there is the arrival of this English couple suspected of having diverted the Fontgoutte spring, not to mention their son who has taken it into his head to raise sheep and who, for that, also needs land. Then there is the return, after thirty years of absence from La Peyrouse, of Alain, the Fontgoutte brother, and especially the arrival of his young associate, Williams, who, alongside him, has made a fortune in the diamond trade. Enough to make Madeleine's heart skip a beat? And sow discord, from twist to surprise, in La Peyrouse? Unless it all ends in a sham marriage and the snow of the geese returns, as it should... Of old Auvergne stock, Françoise Debris-Poumarat knows rural mentalities very well, having patiently observed them. Her novel is a vivid picture of life today in many rural areas of France.

Title : Twilight of the Idols - Friedrich Nietzsche - book
Summary : What are the "idols" that Nietzsche attacks and whose twilight he announces? They are, he tells us, the values forged by the Christian religion and imposed as the only truth. The task of the philosopher then consists of shedding light on the origin of these moral a priori. Values, once the error that makes us believe them to be universal has been demonstrated, ring hollow under the philosopher's hammer. For if he seeks less to destroy than to question and examine, his aim is indeed the overthrow of all values, to restore vigor and health to life, weakened by two millennia of Christianity. Twilight of the Idols and The Case of Wagner, which accompanies it, are the last two texts published with Nietzsche's approval, a few months before his crisis of dementia in January 1889. They constitute, as he wrote in a letter to Carl Fuchs dated September 9, 1888, "a perfect overall introduction to [his] philosophy."

Title : Talleyrand's Cook - Jean-Christophe Duchon-Doris - book
Summary : In the autumn of 1814, all of Europe has gathered in Vienna. At the instigation of Napoleon's victors, a great congress is about to open to settle the succession of the Empire, and the Austrian capital is teeming with diplomats, spies, courtesans, and rogues of all stripes with the most diverse interests. Worried by this excitement, the police could have done without a particularly sordid murder that arouses fears of a final Napoleonic plot. Inspector Vladeski will therefore have to conduct his investigation within the French delegation itself, led by the very skillful Talleyrand and his most valuable asset for seducing the congressmen, Antonin Carême, the best chef in the world.

Title : Lucky Luke - Volume 24 - The Caravan - Morris Goscinny - comic book
Summary : This immortal character has been traveling the history of the American West since 1946. He has met famous people there (Jesse James, Calamity Jane, Billy the Kid, Sarah Bernhardt...). Lucky Luke is the man of impossible missions, the defender of the poor, widows and orphans, in short, the perfect hero! His horse, Jolly Jumper, is a perfect companion for this "poor lonesome cowboy". The Dalton brothers are perpetually standing in Lucky Luke's way, which allows him to continually pursue them and bring them to justice. Another traditional character in the series: Rantanplan, the stupidest dog in the Wild West who lived independently for 2 albums. Lucky Luke is, with Asterix and Tintin, the most famous character in the history of comics: this series, accessible to all, has become a myth thanks to Morris and Goscinny.

Merchandising and audiovisual exploitation (including in the United States) allowed Lucky Luke to be introduced to a very wide segment of the population and to several generations of readers. It should be noted that after Goscinny's death, several writers worked on the series: Vicq, De Groot, Fauche and Léturgie, Lodewijk, Lo Hartog Van Banda and Vidal. Most of the albums are published by Dupuis and Dargaud, the new ones by Lucky Productions.

Title : The Valladolid Controversy - Jean-Claude Carrière - book
Summary :
In 1550, a question stirred Christianity: who were the Indians? Inferior beings to be subjugated and converted? Or men, free and equal? A legate sent by the Pope must decide. To assist him are two Spanish clerics: Ginès de Sepúlveda, a scholar well-versed in the art of polemics, and Bartolomé de Las Casas, a priest who had lived for many years in the New World. The former defended war in the name of God. The latter fought against the enslavement of the Indians. A dramatic confrontation whose echoes still resonate.

Title : Reconciling with Death - Anselm Grün - book
Summary : Death presents itself to us every day, particularly through the media. Close to us, it nevertheless seems very distant: fear grips us as soon as we are directly confronted with a death. In this book, Anselm Grün frees us from this fear by showing us that life, death and resurrection are inseparable: "some think painfully about their passing, others integrate it into their lives and lead, in the face of their certain death, an existence that is both serene and conscious. Only those who see in death the fulfillment of their life and not its annihilation do justice to their nature as mortal men destined for resurrection."

Title : Dangerous Liaisons - Pierre Ambroise Francois Choderlos de Laclos - book
Summary : We get bored with everything, my angel, it's a law of nature; it's not my fault. So if I'm bored today with an adventure that has occupied me entirely for four mortal months, it's not my fault. If, for example, I had just as much love as you had virtue, and that's surely saying a lot, it's not surprising that one ended at the same time as the other. It's not my fault. [...] Today, a woman I love desperately demands that I sacrifice you. It's not my fault. [...] Believe me, choose another lover, as I did another mistress. This advice is good, very good; if you find it bad, it's not my fault. Farewell, my angel, I took you with pleasure, I leave you without regret: I may come back to you. Such is the way the world goes. It's not my fault

Title : Thus Spoke Zarathustra - Friedrich Nietzsche - book
Summary : Thus Spoke Zarathustra is a masterful philosophical work. It has revolutionized Western thought. "Nietzsche demolishes, he undermines," said Gide. He definitively calls man into question. Poet-prophet Zarathustra retreats into the mountains and returns among men to speak to them. His essential lesson: "Willing liberates." His leitmotif: rejecting what is not wanted, conquered as such, everything that is endured. This is the meaning of the famous: "Become who you are." Virtue is often the right of the weakest; it paralyzes everything: desire, creation, and joy. The Nietzschean superman is the one with the greatest diversity of instincts that powerfully oppose each other but which he masters. Nietzsche's thought is a permanent challenge. It eludes any political system. The fervor of his poetry and his vigorous humor have given Nietzsche universal fame. Our contemporaries have no choice but between him and Marx.

Title : In the hell of gang rape - Samira Bellil - book
Summary : Samira Bellil is a survivor. As a teenager, she was the victim of several gang rapes, now known as "gang rapes." Consumed by guilt and disgust, destroyed by ostracism from her family and rumors in her neighborhood, she took refuge in drugs and alcohol. Her powerful testimony reveals the sexual violence that has become established and commonplace in housing projects and suburbs where everything is reduced to power struggles and domination. In such an environment, the torture the girls endure is not only physical but also mental: shattered reputations, shame, and humiliation are their daily lot. This book, which comes at the end of a long therapy period, is for her a way to leave a trace of her story and to help her "sisters," victims, like her, of the worst of crimes. To break the code of silence.
