Title : A Secret of No Importance - Agnès Desarthe - book
Summary :
Inter Book Prize 1996
“There are nights when magic and horror leave the storybooks to swirl through the streets and along the paths,” writes Agnès Desarthe. It is on a winter night that the lives of Sonia, Violette, Harriet, Gabriel, Emile and Dan are forever united, as if their path drew a sort of figure. A random whirlwind, like falling snowflakes, like the movement of feelings, like the trajectories of couples dancing at the Institute's party. Stories of magic, because, in this suburb reminiscent of the shtetls dear to Isaac Bashevis Singer, the natural and the supernatural, the everyday and the marvelous, the visible and the invisible are worlds that fit together perfectly.

Title : Saharan Notebooks - Roger Frison-Roche - book
Summary :
The discovery of the Sahara was a revelation for Roger Frison-Roche. Having come to the Sahara as a mountain guide, he returned spellbound by the grandeur of the landscapes and the quality of the solitude. He made seventeen trips between 1935 and 1960. The unusual nature of his camel treks gave him the idea of bringing together the stories of his camel treks: the account of the first ascent of Garet el Djenoun (The Call of the Hoggar), a journey through the Grand Erg Occidental, the crossing of the Messak Fezzanais, and a cinematic raid with Georges Tairraz.

Title : The Dying Beast - Philip Roth - book
Summary : "A nude with opulent, slightly flared breasts, for which she could have posed herself. A nude with closed eyes, defended like her by her erotic power alone and, like her, both primal and elegant. A bronze nude mysteriously asleep on a velvety black abyss that, in my mood of the moment, I associated with that of the tomb. Tapered, undulating, she awaits you, the young girl, motionless and mute as death." On the threshold of old age, David Kepesh, an aesthete attached to his freedom and a demanding seducer, meets among his students Consuela Castillo, twenty-four years old, daughter of rich Cuban emigrants, "amazed" by culture. And discovers sexual addiction... It is the novel of a spell in an America far from the joyous bacchanalia of the sixties, dear to the Professor of Desire..; And at the turn of the millennium, this alter ego of the author, once the hero of The Breast, is confronted not only with his own aging but with the death that lurks within each of us. After The Stain, Philip Roth offers us at once a love story, an X-ray of our times, and a meditation on the human condition. A new masterpiece, of lapidary perfection.
A dizzying psychological thriller with a stunning ending.
