Title : The Plot Against America - Philip Roth - book Summary : When the famous aviator Charles Lindbergh defeated President Roosevelt in the 1940 presidential election, fear gripped American Jews. Not only had Lindbergh, in his radio address to the nation, criticized Jews for pushing America into an unnecessary war with Nazi Germany, but upon becoming the thirty-third president of the United States, he promptly signed a non-aggression pact with Hitler. Then terror entered Jewish homes, including that of the Roth family. This context serves as the historical backdrop for The Plot Against America, a novel in which Philip Roth, who was seven years old at the time, recounts the experiences and feelings of his family—and millions of similar families across the country—during the dark years of Lindbergh's presidency, when American citizens who were also Jews had good reason to fear the worst. In doing so, he offers us a new masterpiece. EAN : 9782070774678 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : The Healing of the World - Frédéric Lenoir - book Summary "Is man only homo economicus? Our world is sick, but the current economic crisis, which is polarizing all attention, is only a symptom of much deeper imbalances. The crisis we are experiencing is systemic: it affects all sectors of human life. It is linked to upheavals in our lifestyles that are undoubtedly as significant as the turning point of the Neolithic period, when human beings ceased to be nomadic and became sedentary. Yet there are ways to heal. Drawing on concrete experiences, I demonstrate the existence of a logic other than the quantitative and mercantile one that is leading our world to catastrophe: a qualitative logic that prioritizes respect for the Earth and people over performance; the quality of being "always more." I also advocate an enlightened rediscovery of the great universal values—truth, justice, respect, freedom, love, beauty—in order to prevent modern man, driven by the intoxication of excess, but also by fear and greed, from signing his own end. After having spoken of personal wisdom in his previous works – Socrates, Jesus, Buddha (Fayard), Petit traité de vie intérieure (Plon), L'Ame du monde (NiL) – Frédéric Lenoir here lays the philosophical foundations of a wisdom for our time; an ethic of freedom and responsibility which involves the conversion of each of us, according to Gandhi's expression: "Be the change you want in the world."

Title : The Club of Incorrigible Optimists - Jean-Michel Guenassia - book Summary 2009 Goncourt High School Students' Prize Michel Marini was twelve years old in 1959. It was the era of rock 'n' roll and the Algerian War. He was an amateur photographer, a compulsive reader, and a foosball player at the Balto in Denfert-Rochereau. In the back room of the bistro, he met Igor, Léonid, Sacha, Imré, and the others. These men had crossed the Iron Curtain to save their skins. They had abandoned their loves, their families, betrayed their ideals, and everything they were. They had met in Paris in this back-room chess club that Kessel and Sartre also frequented. And they were bound by a terrible secret that Michel would eventually discover. This meeting changed the young boy's life forever. Because they were all incorrigible optimists. A portrait of a generation, a meticulous reconstruction of an era, a bittersweet chronicle of adolescence: Jean-Michel Guenassia has succeeded in creating a first novel that is astonishing both in terms of the scope of the project and the authenticity that permeates these pages.

Title : Baudolino - Umberto Eco - book Summary Born in Piedmont in 1932, Umberto Eco holds the chair of semiotics at the University of Bologna. He taught in Paris at the Collège de France and at the École Normale Supérieure on rue d'Ulm. He is the author of numerous essays, including How to Travel with a Salmon, and three novels, The Name of the Rose, Foucault's Pendulum, and The Island of the Day Before. A truly great book... Baudolino, a whimsical and lying young peasant, conquers Frederick Barbarossa and becomes his adopted son. Baudolino fantasizes, invents, and, as if by magic, everything he imagines becomes history. Thus, among other things, he wrote the mythical letter from Prester John, which promised the West a fabulous kingdom in the Far East ruled by a Christian king, which has inspired many travelers, including Marco Polo. Baudolino grows up. Alexandria was born around 1168, and years later, driven by Baudolino's inventive genius, Frederick set out, using a crusade as a pretext, to return to Prester John the most precious relic of Christianity, which some call the Grasal. He died during this long journey, in mysterious circumstances that only Baudolino could uncover. But his son continued the fabulous expedition to this distant kingdom populated by monsters that haunted the bestiary of the Middle Ages. He experienced extraordinary adventures, including a love story with one of the most singular creatures of Eve's descendants... Told to the Byzantine historian Niceta Coniates, while Constantinople was burning after the sack, the story still held a few surprises. Speaking with Niceta, Baudolino understood things he hadn't yet understood, hence the unexpected ending. EAN : 9782246615019 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title: They Dreamed of Sundays - Christian Signol - book Summary : "For most French families, who moved from the peasantry to the university in three generations, the 20th century was a tremendous social elevator. The story of my maternal family is symbolic of this evolution, and that is why I wanted to tell it. What we are today, we owe it to the hard work, the sacrifices, the obstinacy of our ancestors, our parents, who fought so that their children, their grandchildren, would one day live better. Their life on land that they often did not own was harsh, difficult: they dreamed of Sundays to finally take a little rest, their only reward with the daily bread. Many will recognize themselves in these pages which express above all the gratitude that we owe to these humble and courageous men and women."
