Title : The Salt of Life - Françoise Héritier - Book
Summary : There is a kind of lightness and grace in the simple fact of existing, beyond occupations, beyond strong feelings, beyond commitments, and that is what I wanted to reflect. That little extra that is given to all of us: the salt of life," FH In this intimate and sensual meditation, anthropologist Françoise Héritier tracks down those pleasant things to which our innermost being aspires, those images and emotions, those moments imbued with memories that give flavor to our existence, that make it richer, more interesting than we often believe and from which nothing, ever, can be taken away from each of us. Author of The Two Sisters and Their Mother and Masculin/Féminin, Françoise Héritier is an honorary professor at the Collège de France where she directed the Social Anthropology Laboratory. She was director of studies at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales and president of the National AIDS Council.

Title : Tocaia Grande - Jorge Amado - Book
Summary : Tocaïa Grande is first and foremost a place-name, in the region of large cocoa plantations, in the south of the State of Bahia, where there is a stopover lodge frequented by muleteers traveling between the neighboring fazendas, which does not fail to attract a certain number of prostitutes. From there, the grocery store-bar of Fadul is built and soon the blacksmith shop of Castor, known as "Tison". Tocaia Grande is also the "great ambush", set up by Natario de Fonseca, bodyguard and trusted man of a rich and powerful landowner, "Colonel" Andrade, to politically liquidate his only rival in the district and remain sole master of the entire region. Finally, in Tocaia Grande, the traveling merchant Fadul Abdala stops for a night, looking for a suitable place to set up business. These diverse and colorful characters share the desire to be and remain free, which will not always be easy as Tocaia Grande gradually becomes a village, then an increasingly large town. Through a succession of colorful episodes, Jorge Amado superbly tells us the hidden side of the birth of a city and the drama of a community of marginalized people that the law wants to one day reclaim. Tocaia Grande is Jorge Amado's first novel in five years and, upon its publication, has enjoyed unprecedented success in Brazil: 400,000 copies sold in three months. It evokes, in this language that is always so rich and colorful, the love of Brazil, a warm brotherhood towards the humble and this deep knowledge of men that permeates all his work. Jorge Amado, born in 1912, is the undisputed master of the Brazilian novel. His works are published in thirty languages. Editions Stock has published eleven of his books, including The Shepherds of the Night, Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon, Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands, Tieta d'Agreste, The Miracle Shop, Cocoa, etc.

Title : The Nabob - Irène Frain - Book
Summary : A remarkable power of evocation and a wealth of content... Irène Frain has so immersed herself in the countries, the art, the customs, the superstitions of India, that she superbly introduces us to the heart of this other world whose prestige she has experienced." Jacqueline Piatier, Le Monde. His name was René Madec. He wanted wealth because he was poor, and ambition drove him because he was beggarly. This little cabin boy, originally from Quimper, had, in the 18th century, an incredible destiny, such as no buccaneer, no condottiere dared to dream of. As a teenager, he arrived in rags on the docks of Pondicherry and became, in less than twenty years, a lord of the country. A nabob. This is the story of his loves and the passion that united him with the Princess of Godh in palaces and caravanserais. Here are armies raised, raided campaigns, royal elephants, sepoys and cannons. But also here is the much-coveted India, spices, pearls and bazaars, refined rajahs, harems and amorous rites, hookah, betel and gods by the thousands. Every page, every scene of this extraordinary novel brilliantly illuminates this piece of our history, the epic of French India led at breakneck speed by the man whom Breton songs still call "the man from afar".

Title : What I can finally tell you - Ségolène Royal - Book
Summary :
We can see that it was sometimes very violent for you. But you didn't say anything. How do you hold on? At a time when women's voices are finally being freed, many of them have asked me to express myself about what a woman in politics endures in silence. And more and more men are telling me: speak out for our daughters, our partners, our sisters. So I gave myself the right to speak out, and this right quickly became a duty. The reason for women's silence is the fear of humiliation. It was difficult, and sometimes painful, to write, because I had to relive the ordeals I had stored away in my frozen memory. But, I was told, having been the first woman in French history to reach the second round of the presidential election, you had to speak out to advance the cause of women and set benchmarks. And what's more, I've learned from my long experience of ecological struggles the similarity between violence against women and that against nature, with predators who mistreat, defile, exploit, too often with impunity. The same vocabulary. The same code of silence. So it's to accelerate action that I decided to make my voice heard, and those who haven't been able to be heard. Respect for nature, respect for women: what if there were an answer to the two scourges that affect both the planet and political action, dehumanization and uprooting?

Title : The Mosques of Roissy - Philippe de Villiers - Book
Summary :
France paralyzed? Roissy, Orly, Le Bourget, out of service, under foreign control? Attacks targeting strategic targets, prepared at our neighbors' homes, in the basements of our cellars? This doomsday scenario is not fiction. Despite all the rhetoric and plans, we have become vulnerable. This is what Philippe de Villiers demonstrates in this shocking document, revealing previously unpublished confidential reports and warning notes intended for the highest authorities of the State. This investigation reveals, with supporting evidence, that Islamists have managed to infiltrate the security services of major airports and take control of entire areas where luggage and passengers pass through. This discreet infiltration, which worries the intelligence services - apparently more than the political class - prolongs the proselytism that has been rife for years in education and in many housing projects, where political-religious censorship and customs from another age (polygamy, female circumcision, etc.) flourish, gradually causing the values of the Republic to recede. Islamization advances quietly but with an undeniable spirit of conquest.

Title : Power Games - Volume 2 - Ruthless.com - Tom Clancy - Book

Title : Eternal Japan - Journey under the flowers of a floating world - Amélie Nothomb - Book
Summary : " Texts and images respond to each other in a patient and inexhaustible dialogue that touches us, inexorably ." Booksellers' Page
" My personal mythology is Japan. My earliest memories are Japanese. For a very long time, I believed I was Japanese; it was a deep conviction. I believed it all the more because I lived in the heart of the most beautiful Japan, that of Kansai, in the South, very close to Kyoto and Nara, which are the most beautiful cities in the world. I was evolving in a universe of prints, in a Japanese garden, in the mountains, a Japan as we imagine it in the West when we fantasize about it.(...) Follow me on the path of the kami in Shintoism, the path of Buddhism and Zen, the way of the samurai and the way of elegance . To better walk together under the flowers of the floating world, as the Japanese poet Matsuo Bashô expresses it, this world of ephemeral beauty in which we live. Amélie Nothomb
Amélie Nothomb takes us to discover Japan, its myths, its rites and its traditional arts. : a wonderful discovery of the country in the footsteps of one of its greatest ambassadors.
This book is an adaptation of the successful podcast of the same name by Amélie Nothomb, produced with Laureline Amanieux, enriched with texts and quotes and extensively illustrated.

Title : Thank you for this moment - Valérie Trierweiler - Book
Summary : One day, a violent love affair set my life ablaze. He had four children. I had three. We decided to live together. But politics is a consuming passion. Starting from afar, François Hollande was elected President of the Republic. I was sucked into his wake. Power is a test for the one who wields it, but also for those close to him. At the Élysée, I often felt illegitimate. The little girl from the ZUP as first lady: something was wrong. I learned of the President's infidelity from the press, like everyone else. The photos went around the world while I was in the hospital, under tranquilizers. And the man I loved broke up with me with an eighteen-word statement he dictated himself to AFP, as if he were dealing with a matter of state. Everything I write in this book is true. As a journalist, I sometimes felt at the Élysée Palace as if I were reporting. And I suffered too much from lies to ever tell them myself.

Title : Testimony - Nicolas Sarkozy - Book
Summary :
"As far back as I can remember, I've always wanted to take action. Transforming everyday life, making the impossible possible, finding room for maneuver, has always fascinated me. Politics was not a family tradition. Everything should have kept me away from it: I had neither connections nor fortune, I was not a civil servant, and I had a name that, with its foreign sound, would have convinced more than one person to fade into anonymity. But politics has this unique and demanding interest in being done with the French people, not against them, nor without them. I like the idea of joint action, toward a common goal, to give hope to millions of people. So many people have given up. Gave up on believing that tomorrow can be more promising. Gave up on a happier future for their children. I want to explain here that there is no inevitability for those who are willing to dare, to try, to undertake. In a world that is moving at full speed, inaction is the riskiest position for our country and for every French person. I like to build, to act, to solve problems. I believe that everything is earned and that in the end the effort always pays off. These are my values. This is why I am in politics, this is what justifies, in my eyes, wanting to conquer the highest responsibilities. This is what I am here to tell you. Nicolas Sarkozy

Title : Figures of the Madman - Pierre-Yves Le Pogam - Book
Summary : "Mirror of madness: everyone recognizes themselves in it when they see their portrait" Sébastien Brant, The Ship of Fools, 1494 In the art of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, madmen abound: hopping silhouettes, grimacing faces with mocking smiles, they challenge us. Are they mocking themselves, us, or the Other? Whether it is the court fool - simple-minded or infirm from the countryside -, the king's jesters, the burlesque fools of carnivals, the mountebanks of Hieronymus Bosch... this figure with its many avatars sees its status evolve over time, then resurfaces in the 19th century. Recognizable by its emblematic attributes - hood with donkey ears, cockscomb, bells, hobby horse, colorful costume -, the madman is far from embodying mental illness and its representation takes on a truly symbolic significance. Combining paintings, sculptures and art objects, this work takes us into a dizzying world, where everyone will find a mirror of themselves.
