Title : The Sun of the Scorta - Laurent Gaudé - book
Summary :
Eugène Dabit Prize 2004 - Prix Goncourt 2004
Because rape founded their lineage, the Scortas were born into disgrace. In Montepuccio, their small village in southern Italy, they live poorly and will not die rich. But they have vowed to pass on, from generation to generation, the little that life leaves them as an inheritance. And aside from the modest family tobacco shop, created with what they call "New York money," their wealth is as intangible as an experience, a memory, a shred of wisdom, a spark of joy. Or even a secret. Like the one that old Carmela—whose voice here joins the objective chronicle of events—confides to her contemporary, the former priest of Montepuccio, for fear that words would soon fail her. A radiant, deeply humanist novel, Laurent Gaudé's new book depicts, from 1870 to the present day, the existence of this Puglian family to which each generation, each individual, tries to bring, according to its own destiny, the pride of being a Scorta, and the revelation of happiness.

Title : The Kingdom - Emmanuel Carrère - book
Summary :
"At one point in my life, I was a Christian. It lasted three years. It passed. Case closed, then? It must not be entirely closed for me to feel the need to return to it twenty years later. These paths of the New Testament that I once traveled as a believer, I travel them today - as a novelist? As a historian? Let's say as an investigator."

Title : De Gaulle my father - Interviews with Michel Tauriac, volume 1 - Philippe de Gaulle - book
Summary : If there is one statesman who has inspired biographers, it is Charles de Gaulle. But who can know him better than his own son, this privileged witness who experienced every stage of his epic journey up close? Who can better describe him with his family, with all the doors of the house closed, surrounded by his children and grandchildren, and lovingly watched over by his wife, listening to him when he speaks and does not want to be heard, translating the slightest inflection of his voice and his silences? Who can reach his heart even in the most secret moments, share his confidences on everything, as much on his private life as on History, on his arm wrestling with Churchill and Roosevelt, on his quarrels with Pétain or Giraud? On poetry and on the forest, as on the failure of Dakar, his relations with the resistance and his face to face with Stalin? If Philippe de Gaulle agreed for the first time to engage so deeply with Michel Tauriac's incisive questions, it was not only to answer the questions that continue to be asked about the author of his days, but also to destroy fabrications and abusive interpretations, set the record straight, and shed light on the mysteries that still hover over various affairs - such as the assassination of Darlan and the General's coup against the Allies to liberate Paris, retain Strasbourg, and cross the Rhine. More than a collection of interviews, this book is an unprecedented testimony that reads like a novel.

Title : The Princess Exchange - Chantal Thomas - book
Summary : In 1721, Philippe d'Orléans was Regent of France. The exercise of power was enjoyable, and he took a liking to it. Then a brilliant idea arose in his head: to propose to Philippe V of Spain a marriage between Louis XV, aged eleven, and the very young Infanta, Anna Maria Victoria, aged four – who would therefore not be able to give birth for a decade… And he didn't stop there: he also proposed to give his daughter, Mlle de Montpensier, as a wife to the young Prince of Asturias, future heir to the throne of Spain, to strengthen his position and consolidate the end of the conflict with the large neighbor.
The reaction in Madrid was enthusiastic, and things quickly fell into place. The exchange of princesses took place in early 1722, with great pomp and ceremony, on a small island in the middle of the Bidasoa River, the river that served as the border between the two kingdoms. Everything could be going well. But nothing would go as planned...

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.
