Title : The Walker of Fez - Eric Fottorino - Book
Summary :
"We would have headed for the Pyrenees. We would have cut Spain from top to bottom. A sort of Caesarean section to exhume your history. We would have gone back to the beginning, to Fez, your hometown. Would we ever have arrived?" In the fall of 2012, I wanted to take my Moroccan father to the streets of his youth, the Jewish quarter of Fez, the medina, the interlacing of his memories camped between the University of Karaouine and the facade of the Empire which was once the largest cinema in North Africa. I made the journey without him. Illness decided it, and I became the walker of Fez in his place. I understood what existence is all about. Barely a kilometer separates the mellah from the modern city, the Jewish world from the old European sector. In this handkerchief, Moshé Maman became Maurice Maman. Like all his people, the Moroccan Jew dreamed of integrating into France, of speaking its language, of building his home, his family, his future there. I walked through alleys and cemeteries, pushed open the doors of the few synagogues, spoke to the last Fassi Jews whose flame would soon be extinguished. At every step, I came across this long-unknown father. Until he came upon me, unexpectedly.

Title : Paris-Buenos Aires - A century of tango - Nardo Zalko - Book
Summary : Buenos Aires is the wife, Paris the mistress," Argentines have been saying for generations. A love story began between these two cities one day in 1906, thanks to the tango. This music, born in the suburbs of Buenos Aires at the end of the 19th century and raised in its brothels, landed in Paris like a meteorite. Its arrival engendered that mysterious complicity between the two cities that has never been denied since, and from which popular Argentine poets have continued to draw inspiration. Since then, more than four hundred tangos evoking Paris, its neighborhoods, its landscapes, its legendary figures, and its literary myths have been written by Buenos Aires troubadours. The French language and Parisian slang penetrated the verses of the "southernmost European port," with the power of the irreplaceable word. The link between the two cities was sealed by the creator of sung tango, Carlos Gardel. Born in Toulouse, he became the porteño par excellence. Astor Piazzolla, from 1955, would confirm this fusion. Paris and Buenos Aires, tango and Paris: a passion, with its comings and goings, its intoxications and its disappointments. It is a story within History, punctuated by wars, coups d'état, migrations between the two continents. It is the story of an art, written against a backdrop of bandoneon. It began a century ago. It still continues.
