Title : Three Days in the Life of Paul Cézanne - Mika Biermann - book
Summary :
With a grumpy eye and unkempt hair, Paul Cézanne trudges through the hills, sweating under his bowler hat, his back bent under the weight of the easel. A woman's boot appears lying on an embankment, and tragedy strikes. Three days in the life of Paul Cézanne are enough for Mika Biermann to blast away the flakes of paint, scratch the weave, and pierce the portraitist of Sainte-Victoire to the bone. An ugly news item transformed into a garrigue odyssey on a sea of paint, in the wake of the gruff, vain painter obsessed with grotesque chimeras that do not engender melancholy. We finish reading it with a lively eye and fingers stained with wild colors.

Title : Poems and songs - Georges Brassens - book
Summary : You will come and tell me: "Such a misfortune happened to me", you would have been 18 years old, I would have seen you crying in the corner over there, because you would have told me that a girl had left you in such and such circumstances, fine! I would have told you: "Don't worry my boy, it's not serious." Of course it is very serious to lose your marbles or to have your ball or your first soap bubble burst. Maybe the soap bubble that is burst is burst forever and you never get over it. But anyway, I would have told you that, and little by little all that would have worked its way through me, and, with the help of other stories similar to yours, I would have ended up, because it is my vocation, to play with words, while taking part in your sorrow, by making a song, you see?

Title : The Promise of Shanghai - Stéphane Fière - book Summary :
Driven by poverty, the peasant Fu Zhanxin leaves for Shanghai to become a laborer, thus joining the cohort of "mingong," these migrant workers who since the mid-1990s have formed a floating population, forced to work at will, marginalized socially, culturally, politically, and administratively. It is without compromise, with a great deal of distance and irony, that "The Promise of Shanghai" recounts his daily life: his loves, his apprehensions, his joys, but also the brutality, arbitrariness, and cruelty inherent in a large metropolis where reason and morality have disappeared. Beyond the portrait of a group excluded from the race for progress, it is contemporary China that is analyzed here with finesse and realism, far from conventional clichés. "After attending Sciences Po, studying Chinese and political science at Harvard, and a professional career in the United States, Stéphane Fière has been working in China for several years. He has lived in the Chinese world for twenty years (Taiwan, Hong Kong, Shanghai, etc.) and speaks Mandarin."

Title : The Story Begins in Sumer - Kramer Samuel-Noah - book
Summary : More than thirty years ago, the author of this book, a scholar of international renown, revealed to the general public the Sumerian civilization, born in Mesopotamia, the south of present-day Iraq, some 5,000 years ago. The Greek miracle had a precedent. As early as the third millennium BC, the Sumerians had invented writing, founded the first city-states, formulated the first codes (the laws), given their first literary expression to Myth and Epic, with a lyricism that foreshadows the most beautiful texts of the Old Testament. For once, the tireless linguists had preceded the archaeologists and suggested the excavations that were to reveal, with the transcription of bricks engraved with cuneiform characters, to the astonished 20th century that History begins in Sumer.

Title : Anthology of French Poetry - Georges Pompidou - book
Summary : "What is poetry?... What is the soul?... When a poem, or simply a verse, provokes a sort of shock in the reader, pulls him out of himself, throwing him into a dream, or on the contrary forces him to descend deeper into himself until he is confronted with being and destiny, poetic success is recognized by these signs. Such, of course, is the secret and excessive ambition of every anthology author. If he begins it for himself, it is for others that he finishes and publishes it. To choose everything that seems worthy and capable of provoking in the reader the shock of beauty, that is the object of his effort. This is to say that he betrays himself since he reveals the secret of what moves him. My ambition is to give here the essence of our poetry, that is to say the most beautiful verses of the French language, those that I find such, without doubt, but with the hope that they really are.

Title : Cézanne - Bernard Fauconnier - book
Summary : For the artist, to see is to conceive, and to conceive is to compose. Art is a religion. Its goal is the elevation of thought. Painting from nature is not about copying the objective, it is about realizing one's sensations. It all comes down to this: having sensations and reading nature. To work without concern for anyone and to become strong, that is the artist's goal, the rest is not even worth Cambronne's words." He rushes towards the motif. Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) is the man who walks. He sets up his easel, opens his eyes wide, searches the landscape to wrest his formula from it. When it doesn't come, he screams, destroys his unfinished canvases. In Aix, in Paris, people mock him, insult him, take him for a madman. He feigns indifference, suffers from it, breaks his friendships, neglects his loves, continues on the path he has chosen and that only he can glimpse: he knows that he is reinventing painting.

Title : Tribulations of a Stradivarius in America - Frédéric Chaudière - book
Summary : On February 28, 1936, soloist Bronislaw Huberman gave a concert at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Of the two violins he had brought, a Stradivarius and a Guarneri, he chose the latter. When he left the stage, the Stradivarius had vanished and would not resurface for many years. The story of the missing instrument began one winter night in 1706, in a valley in the Italian Alps, when a lumberjack chose the spruce he was going to cut down on that dark January moon. From its creation by master luthier Stradivari to the incredible and true twists and turns that followed the kidnapping, Frédéric Chaudière recounts the eventful existence of a highly coveted violin with the rhythm of a serial novel: for three centuries, in fact, the Stradivarius crystallized and unleashed the passions of artisans, musicians, music lovers, lovers of art, profit, and glory. Born in Dieulefit in 1963, Frédéric Chaudière has been a luthier in Montpellier since 1986. He regularly contributes to the English magazine The Strad and writes articles on guest soloists' instruments for Radio France programs. His instruments are played worldwide by renowned musicians including J.-J. Kantorow, N. Brainin, R. Ricci, YC Cho, and A. Sitkovetski.

Title : The Horla and other fantastic tales - Guy de Maupassant - book
Summary
This volume of fantastic stories, most of which were written between 1882 and 1887, was not composed by Maupassant himself. Reading them in sequence, collected in the order of their publication, one will better understand, however, that the fantastic is a constant in the work - and one that appeared very early on: contrary to what a certain legend has led people to believe, Maupassant, although madness overcame him at the end of his life, did not write from his own dictation. But is it really fantasy? Nothing supernatural here, nor marvelous. But stories that give way to anguish and cruelty, madness and fear, to the division of being that is analyzed with lucidity. The genius of the author is then to make his reader captive, to act on his conscience and to make him believe naturally and simply that this interior fantasy, coherent and logical, is also ordinary life, but suddenly become strange.

Title : The Forgotten Country - Jean Anglade - book
Summary
Hero of the novel The Gourd Thief, by Jean Anglade, Baptiste Pascal remained in Bavaria after the war. His author and creator wrote to him to persuade him to abandon his voluntary exile and return to his native Auvergne. This literary pretext allows Jean Anglade to offer a (re)discovery of his favorite province in letters posted from various places in Auvergne. Through this journey, as much historical as geographical, the most famous contemporary Auvergne writer offers an active stroll that combines rich documentation, personal memories, and humorous reflections that are not lacking in salt. Cities, villages, unusual characters, and symbolic landmarks follow one another to paint a vivid picture of Auvergne. Through his reflections on the passage of time for both people and the country, Jean Anglade creates a "reportage" that is both intimate and well-documented on the Auvergne of yesterday and today.
