Title: Microcosms - Claudio Magris - book Summary : This time, Claudio Magris takes us from the Café San Marco to the Church of the Sacred Heart in Trieste, passing through a few borderlands, marginal places, secrets of a Europe with a vivid memory and a burning past. The witnesses of time are those forgotten by History, whose poor, contradictory and fascinating lives make and judge History. Nine place names constitute the titles of the chapters of this book, which is neither a travel journal, nor a fragment of autobiography, nor a historical essay, nor a roman à clef, but perhaps the story of an initiatory journey, shrouded in the presence of a vanished Beloved, through places, cultures, and myths dear to the author and rich in humanity. Microcosms eludes all classification: erudition presents itself as description, analysis sometimes assumes the role of narrative, real characters acquire the epic stature of heroes, and myths map out the uncertainties of reality. Magris, a man of the confines, here erases the boundaries of genres, languages, and time, in this quest for self that is every journey, a "lost guerrilla war against oblivion."

Title: Les Bulles - Claire Castillon - book Summary : When I was little, I thought I was abnormal; I'm delighted that you're seeing my brother; My husband hasn't touched me for ages, I don't see why he would cheat on me; I always knew I was my nephew's mother; Love is not a spectacle; If I die, think of Hugues Aufray. Never far from a fantasy, everyone here lives in their own bubble, through which the images of the world arrive distorted, cracked, desperate. Unless, acting as a magnifying glass, it allows us to better scrutinize certain disturbing details of truth. Thirty-eight short stories, thirty-eight scathing portraits. Cruel, incisive, and fair, this sparkling collection also offers a certain amount of nastiness. Frankly, it's exhilarating! Valérie Gans, Madame Figaro.

Title: The Japanese - Raphaël Majan - book Summary : The commissioner is not an idiot who kills to build a track record. Nevertheless, among the many nationalities who have been victims of his investigations and assassinations, there are no Japanese. Little by little, this lack obsesses him. And all the more so since it is not as easy as he might have thought to remedy it. For the Japanese have their own ways of escaping his crimes, and assassins do not escape the law that weighs on every human being and transforms any desire for magnitude into unsatisfyable torture.

Forgotten are the heinous murders and other suburban news stories. Recently relieved of his duties, the singular Commissioner Melchior has gone to nurse his wounds at his cousin's house by the sea. A little paradise on earth where he will, despite himself, have to return to duty. The motive? The murder, seven years earlier, of Mariette Pontel, a young woman found strangled in an abandoned blockhouse. A mystery that Melchior, like a good Samaritan, promises to solve. At the risk of putting himself in personal danger. For the murderer is far from having expressed his last wishes.

Luis, whom he met in Laos, keeps repeating this to Edmond Benakem.

This initiatory hunt will lead them, after many adventures and endearing encounters, to Phnom Penh. Confronted with violence he never suspected, fascinated by the Khmers, bewitched by Jeanne, Edmond learns the hard way that it is a land "that eats away at your soul" and succumbs to the Mekong blues.

Title: The Day of the Killer Child - Pierre Pelot - book Summary : 35,000 years ago, the Anâanni clan led a peaceful life on the shores of a lake in the mountains. When Okgha the Dream assigns Ahorn to restore life and strength to the neighboring clan, the Ohihani, Ahorn willingly accepts because he knows he will find Ene'a, whom he has been thinking about ever since he saw her on the shore one day when the Ohihani women came to visit—or so he believes. For among the Ohihani, strange men with sewn lips, the nokh, seem to hold a dangerous secret, and several women have disappeared, among them Ene'a. So Ahorn is drawn, despite himself, into a completely different story: to find Ene'a and, at the risk of his life, to confront the evil forces that transform men into nokh.

Title: The Shock of Love - Francesco Alberoni - book Summary : We hope for it, we endure it, we mourn it... We don't explain it. How does love begin? Why do we fall in love? Is love a revolution?

The spark in the daily dreariness, the joyful openness to the world. Happiness mixed with worry because we don't know if this feeling is shared. The exquisite moment when everything is still possible. A transitory state that sometimes leads to love. A phenomenon comparable to collective revolutionary movements...
