Title : I Sold My Car to a Pole - Pierre Gagnon - Book
Summary :
"Even today, I still can't explain how he did his calculations, but here it is: after emitting a long onomatopoeia, he wiped his hands on his shirt before getting back behind the wheel. I then heard a slight click and it started... I never managed to turn off the ignition." It's not easy to sell your old car. You can explain that it's German, with 300,000 kilometers on the clock, but you might as well hope for a miracle. Or a Pole... It's true that he has a strange appearance, but this Pole is providential! With Pierre Gagnon, we always end up choosing the best side of what life has in store for us. His heroes have their cracks, their touch of madness, but they achieve this small miracle: to console us for our own human frailties.

Title : The Shadow of a Traitor - Nathalie Saint-Cricq - Book
Summary : June 18, 1960, Paris. Désiré, a young orphan and a budding journalist at France-Soir, finds himself, despite himself, at the heart of a murky affair that will change his life. Fifteen heroes of the Fighting France chosen at the Liberation make their solemn entrance into the crypt of Mont Valérien, as General de Gaulle had wished. It is a great moment in national history. Yet, in the shadows, all is well: it seems that a traitor, Robert B., is among the coffins. For Désiré, the scoop of his life quickly turns into a much more complex spiral than he had imagined. Underhand blows, threats... they want to silence him. With the help of the enigmatic resistance fighter Henri de Prévôté, his ingenious fiancée Colette, and a whimsical bistro owner, the apprentice reporter will go to any lengths to unravel the mystery of this state secret, even if it means being confronted with the shadowy areas of his own past. In the guise of a humorous detective novel, Nathalie Saint-Cricq tells us the true story, previously unpublished, of the affair that shook France in the 1960s and the mysteries of Gaullist power.

Title : Be silent - Mazarine Pingeot - Book
Summary : With only her twenty years and her talent as a photographer to draw on, Mathilde is sent by a major magazine to visit a prominent politician, recently awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. When the man, with his imposing stature and personality, approaches her with no intention other than to pose for his camera, Mathilde is paralyzed, unable to react. Years later, a new ordeal brings her back to this episode from her past, requiring her to learn once and for all to say no. In this dark and powerful novel, as tense as a thriller, Mazarine Pingeot continues to explore the themes that are dear to her: the weight of secrecy, scandal, the opposition between family and individual values... By mirroring two snapshots of the life of a woman forced into silence by her education and her environment, she dismantles the psychological mechanisms of repetition and domination, at the same time as she constructs a fascinating plot.

Title : I am made of their absence - Tim Dup - Book
Summary : "I see guilt being born in my dreams . It always takes the same appearance, that of a thrush, whose wings are not made of feathers, but of dried leaves and flowers . The petals fall one after the other, each time the bird tries to fly away. It cannot do so, begs me to help it. No matter how much I tell it that it does not have the right wings, it persists in leaping, and falls back to the ground each time, its flowery wings vanishing around it. In the sky it tries to reach, there is only thick blackness ."
Pierre and his partner Victoria have moved into the family home in Roseville-sur-Mer, Normandy. While waiting for a purchase offer, they rearrange the rooms, lighten the walls, and live in the place, searching for a reassuring home. Pierre loves living on this coast, in this maritime province governed by idleness and the hours of the tides. From this refuge, he almost forgets the scar deep in his heart. Yet a storm is approaching. Henri, his father, is back, and memories and names resurface. Sophie, his mother, who died when he was just a child; Suzanne and Théodore, his grandparents, whom they raised him with; and then there is Vincent, his uncle, and his cousin Esther: so many faces that today bring him back to this terrible tragedy. While the sand seems to hold back the sea, Pierre tries once again, in Victoria's arms, to make light triumph over shadows. So that absence may finally be silent. Both lively and delicate, Tim Dup's first novel explores the issue of domestic violence with nuance, while taking the reader back to the universal home of his childhood.

Title : Kevin the Rebel - Story - Torey L. Hayden - Book
Summary : "I was the mouse trapped in the cobra's fixed, murderous gaze, terrified, but too fascinated to run away.

Is he mute or has he refused to talk since he was nine? Every day, Torey L. Hayden will meet him and tame him, understand him, make him feel life outside. The task is long and hard because Kevin is perhaps more dangerous than she had imagined. Yet, with patience and love, she accompanies him to the threshold of recovery.

Title : The Best of Yourself - Guy Corneau - Book
Summary :
Undoubtedly, there is a "Corneau style." His great achievement is to give us the impression that on every page, he is talking about us. A teacher with a simple and intimate tone, Guy Corneau combines therapeutic experience and personal testimony to make psychoanalysis accessible to all. With this new book, he confirms his place among the most popular authors of psychology works. Even when we don't have a good image of ourselves, even when life's shocks darken us, the brightest part of our being remains intact. It is the best of ourselves. The best of ourselves is already present in each of us. It doesn't have to be invented; it is there. It's rather a matter of opening the door to it like opening the gate to a garden. Which of us has not had those fights that seem to repeat themselves in our love life, professional life or friendships? Those discussions that seem to have no meaning, are repeated endlessly and lead nowhere? Guy Corneau teaches us to decode them and seize them as opportunities offered to us to communicate with the best of ourselves, this living part of ourselves. In this work which continues and completes Victim of Others, Executioner of Oneself , it is thus a question of love and peace, but also of ideals, talents and gifts, tastes and dreams...

Title : If You Love Me, Don't Love Me. A Systemic Approach to Psychotherapy - Mony Elkaïm - Book
Summary :
Nourished by the experience of Mony Elkaïm, vividly illustrated by numerous case histories, this book inaugurates a significant renewal of systemic therapy.
Mony Elkaïm insists not only on the way in which the therapist can be used within the therapeutic system, but also on the resonances and assemblages which weave this system itself. The therapist's intervention is not carried out in the search for a "truth" of the system or its members, but in the broadening of the field of their possibilities; and the therapy no longer takes place within a single universe, but at the intersection of universes as multiple as they are disparate.

Title : The Cancer Gang - Jean-Michel Jacquemin File, the Accusing Witness - Jean Montaldo - Book
Summary : Accompanied by my counter-investigation, this book will cause Jean-Michel Jacquemin to have to provide thorny explanations to the justice system. A skilled practitioner of accounting acrobatics, in the service of delinquents left free to help themselves, with millions of francs, to the coffers of the prosperous Association for Cancer Research - the ARC, chaired by the very cathodic Jacques Crozemarie -, this elite administrative and financial director has kept the indelible traces of the frauds that were ordered from him for years: false contracts and false invoices, double accounting, he says in his damning testimony, allow the concealment of massive extortions, for the construction or renovation here of princely villas, there of a castle and a hunting ground, elsewhere of a large network of stores and wholesale sales of toys... One is left speechless. If Jean-Michel Jacquemin had chosen to continue to remain silent, to hide the keys to the treasure cave of his former bosses, all identified in these pages, no one would ever have been able to guess the extent and subtlety of the schemes that allowed these crooks, enriched on the backs of medical research, to deny one of the most execrable sins imaginable: the fraud of public charity... and theft from the sick. Seized with nausea at the exposure of truly abominable acts, I conducted my own investigations and, after having verified them, decided to put into perspective, without sugarcoating them, the scathing revelations of the man who was the chief financier of what I must call the "Cancer Gang". An act of public health.
