Title : The Memory of the River - Christian Dedet - book
Summary : Booksellers' Prize 1985 Fight of an elephant caught by an anaconda while bathing in the river. Around the tenth hour of this titanic struggle, the elephant, which had left its trunk sticking out of the water each time it submerged, finally dragged the 15-meter snake to the bank to trample it in fury... Such is the Africa that Jean Michonet, son of a Norman and a mixed-race woman born to the Myéné people, tells of; a fabulous Africa of forests and rivers, chiaroscuro and vines torn apart by apocalyptic gallops...

Title : New Tales from the Lost City - Richard Bohringer - book
Summary : Endearing and magnificent characters meet at the bar of Au bout du monde, the bar on 300th Street where those who wish life would still make them dream meet. There's John, married twice and abandoned twice. It's not his real first name, but some nights he prefers to be called John to see if it brings back love. There he meets Solange, who lives without sex and without a boyfriend. Except when she becomes Betty, Betty who loves love and men. With Paulo, they share an immense knowledge of drunkenness, a disgust for the world devoted to the cult of money, swollen with pride and prejudice. Together, they will hit the road to conquer new territories sheltered from the vanities and malevolence of the old world. Richard Bohringer delivers us perhaps his most intimate and committed text. He talks about men as they are and as they would like to be; he has never described the world of today so much, nor shed so much light on the paths that the provocateurs and their enlightenment give us to see.

Title : History of Art - Renaissance Art - Élie Faure - book
Summary : The History of Art is a vast fresco that stretches from prehistory to the early years of the 20th century. Begun in 1909, completed in 1927, and revised several times, the total novelty of Élie Faure's undertaking was to introduce a new genre that has become popular and indispensable today: the art book in which each commentary can be compared to the works themselves, the juxtaposition and confrontation of images justifying the audacity of the comparisons that sometimes seem unusual. A completely new undertaking at the time, it has, apart from Malraux, been neither equaled nor surpassed today. This fiftieth anniversary edition includes new elements: - a presentation of the man and his work, at the head of Ancient Art; - a file made up of letters, articles, variants, and various texts, at the end of each volume. These elements, compiled by Martine Chatelain-Courtois, editor of the Cahiers Élie Faure and a leading expert on his work, are of immense interest. They allow for an entirely new reading, help us grasp the author's evolution, and bring him back to life over the years and through the itineraries of his travels.

Title : Religious Recipes. Earthly and Spiritual Nourishments - Dominique Prédali - book
Summary : An original compilation of gastronomic recipes whose richness and variety were passed down to us by the monks of convents and monasteries. In the Middle Ages, food was linked to specific values with the alternation of periods of fasting and celebrations, marked by jubilation and abundance. And if the holiday cuisine is rich and varied, it is above all in the cooking of lean meats that the monks excelled. They then deployed treasures of cunning and imagination to compensate for the limited number of available products with great skill in cooking. This work addresses not only the symbolism of many holidays such as Christmas, Epiphany, Candlemas, Carnival, Lent, Easter, but also that of popular beliefs such as Eating to ward off evil, The fires of hell, Sins and virtues, etc. For each section, the author explains the origin of the customs that gave rise to the recipes. She also evokes the symbolism of foods as well as the importance of grain and bread.

Title : Behind the Scenes at the Museum - Kate Atkinson - book
Summary :
From the very moment of her conception, one night in 1951, little Ruby Lennox began to see, to understand, to feel. In particular, she knew that she would have been better left alone... And here she is, telling us, with devastating lucidity and humor, her story, that of her parents, George and Bunty, small shopkeepers from York, of her sisters, of an entire average English family – but certainly not ordinary. Better still, Ruby travels back in time, so that images from the entire 20th century mingle with England in the 1950s and 1960s. Upon its publication in England, this first novel by Kate Atkinson was hailed as a masterpiece, for the subtlety of its construction and the irresistible verve of its writing. In France, the editorial staff of Read voted it the best book of the year.

Title : The House of Return - Jean-Paul Kauffmann - book
Summary : Upon returning from three years of captivity in Lebanon, in a trance-like state, the narrator discovers Les Tilleuls, a house lost in the heart of the Landes forest. He decides to buy this property to dispel the memory of his imprisonment. A strange bond of dependence will be created with this residence, which symbolizes the return to the world of the living. In a total, almost pagan fusion with the nature of which he has been so deprived, the narrator camps out amidst the work. He delights in this transitional atmosphere specific to convalescence, this in-between that confusingly separates the end of the ordeal from the return to humankind. A series of unequally picturesque characters parades past: two taciturn and enigmatic workers, the indefinable real estate agent, an architect always in a hurry... Will this house be the place of resurrection? Twenty years later, Jean-Paul Kauffmann evokes his captivity. Allusively. With elegance, he has chosen to avoid being serious for the most part. Never complacent or victim-like, it is on the contrary a jubilant testimony to the joy of being alive, to the refusal of fatality which resists all trials.

Title : Freshwater Sharks - Heinrich Steinfest - book
Summary : A man's corpse floats in a swimming pool on the roof of a Viennese building. He's missing a leg; he was torn to pieces by a shark... No sign of a shark, just a hearing aid recovered from the bottom of the water. It sounds like a bad joke, but it takes more than that to unnerve Inspector Lukastik. A fervent reader of the philosopher Wittgenstein and a fan of twelve-tone music, this surprising character, who dines on soup every evening at his parents' house and never stubs out his cigarettes, flouts conventions and makes a point of exasperating his superiors. Who else but him could investigate such a strange case?
