Title : Spiritual Itinerary - Gérard Oberlé - book Summary : Spiritual and spiritual derive from the same root. As a child, the narrator of Itinéraire spiritueux learned music in church and at the bistro, through hymns and drinking songs. He grew like a lily of the field between holy water and brandy, at a time and in a milieu where the fashion was for good husbands, good fathers, good workers, and good Christians. The daily practice of these virtues required compensation. It was in the bottle that they were most often sought. Always boozy journeys, an overflowing romantic itinerary, with bacchanalia and domestic or exotic hangovers, rolling and pitching, solemn paths and dead ends, beautiful chords and heavy bills, blandishments and fogs, sixty years of cruising where the winds have blown like festive desires, with reefs where sirens sing, ports without anxiety, last-chance cabarets and, always, new sailings. The old word ivrongne is an anagram of vigneron. I wanted to celebrate both in a familiar and burlesque tale where poets and peasants, good girls and naughty boys, canons and dogs, bartenders, all sorts of parishioners... and my father also cross paths. The bottoms of the bottles served as my spyglass and the cocktail glasses as kaleidoscopes. Let's just say my vision of the world is a little cloudy. Lucky! When I see things as they really are, it will be time to close up shop. EAN : 9782246682912 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : The Night of the Decree - Michel del Castillo - book Summary : In some villages in Catalonia, the name of Commissioner Avelino Pared still arouses a dull terror. Responsible for repression during the Civil War, this secret official now works in a small town in northern Spain: Huesca, where the newly appointed Inspector Laredo will soon take up his duties. To prepare for their meeting, the young police officer leads the investigation, interviews former witnesses, and gradually penetrates the icy silence of the Franco era. The journey would be safe if the story of Avelino Pared, with its tiny cracks, its dark, snowy squares, and his lost childhood, did not contain an enigma.

Title : The Little Girl from Ronce Passage - Esther Senot, Isabelle Ernot - book Summary : Promise me you will tell the world what men have been capable of doing to others." This was the hope expressed by Fanny a few hours before her murder in the gas chambers of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Today, her younger sister Esther is keeping her promise. In the 1930s, her family, fleeing Polish anti-Semitism, migrated to France and settled in Passage Ronce, a district of Belleville. This is where Esther grew up with her five brothers and sister, in this working-class neighborhood, with its markets, dusty streets, and shoemaker and tailor shops. A modest but happy existence that was turned upside down in May 1940. First came the arrest of her brother Marcel, then that of Samuel, who was sent to Drancy. The Vel d'Hiv roundup on July 16 and 17, 1942, was a devastating blow. Esther would never see her parents again. She took refuge with a guard, managed to reach the unoccupied zone, and returned to Paris, where she was finally arrested during an identity check and interned in the Drancy camp. Birkenau: Esther was shaved, tattooed, and assigned a barrack, a commando. Hell begins: forced labor, cold, promiscuity, beatings, disease, hunger. And death, everywhere. Seventy-five years after the liberation of the camps, Esther continues to keep the memory of her family alive and to honor the promise she made to her sister. The Little Girl of the Ronce Passage is this story, but also a different historical and literary project. With the help of Isabelle Ernot, it opens like a diptych: the testimony is followed by a dialogue with the missing, by letters to her sister Fanny and her mother Gela, or even during a stroll on her school route between Ménilmontant and Belleville. The story constantly returns to this Ronce Passage, which has disappeared, and which now exists only here: in this stele of words, vivid and moving.

Title : The Lesson of Sainte-Victoire - Peter Handke - book Summary : Cézanne's Man with Crossed Arms occupies the author's entire gaze; he barely notices the various Montagne Sainte-Victoires in the rotunda of the Cézanne exhibition at the Grand Palais. However, the Montagne Sainte-Victoire, barely seen, never leaves him, to the point that he goes to Aix-en-Provence, follows its entire ridge in search of this "point invisible to the naked eye" which nevertheless keeps returning in Cézanne's paintings. Cézanne's painting becomes a personal experience, an adventure, a journey, a realization of space. It is experienced as a place of the body; calm and exhilarating at the same time, it imperceptibly illuminates and makes the "self" become anonymous. To look at a painting by Cézanne is to discover the foundations of the world." Georges-Arthur Goldschmidt. EAN : 9782070703647 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

The book of a wise man who, like the angels praised by Chesterton, does not steal because he takes himself lightly. "From the beginning to the present day, the primary vocation of philosophy has always been to promote in man the awareness of himself and of the world, in order to realize, in him and around him, what the Greeks called eudaimonia and the Romans beata vita , in other words a harmonious life because it conforms to one's destiny, and happy because it is harmonious... » EAN : 9782226229830 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : For your gifts - Jean Rouaud - book Summary : She will not read these lines, our survivor of the Nantes bombings, the young widow of the day after Christmas, who crossed three books on her small heels, leaving in her wake only the scent of a lady in black. Even if her life was not reduced to this sad silhouette, understand, it was impossible for me to write under her gaze. This pinched air by which her discontent was manifested, I had had to confront it for having revived, despite the prudence of a Sioux, a fifty-year-old romantic rivalry over a man who had been dead for thirty. Now that she reigned in her store and her great mocking laugh burst out, I was not going to spoil her belated triumph. EAN : 9782707316271 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : Ovid's Exile - Salim Bachi - book Summary : In 8 AD, Ovid was banished by Augustus to Tomis, now Constanta in Romania, on the shores of the Black Sea. On this small island, he resided in a villa that would become his only kingdom. What were the reasons for this exile? Historians are not in agreement. Some suggest that Ovid had an affair with Julia, Augustus's daughter, or practiced divination, which was forbidden at the time. He left Rome taking his possessions with him; his wife, however, did not follow him. Did the poet want to spare her dishonor and opprobrium? He addresses his wife and friends in The Sad and the Pontic , his poetic letters, intended for posterity, where he complains about his banishment. I have the impression, reading them today, translated by Marie Darrieussecq, that Ovid addresses me as a brother, and I often have the desire to console him. I suffer with him the same estrangement, the same pain now that I am alone in France. I also felt this same pain in Algeria, as if the homeland had nothing to do with it. One can thus be exiled twice, at home and among others. Weary of the war, Ovid will abandon his fight and his letters to his friends and his wife will become rarer. He knows he is lost and his days are numbered… Sadness and solitude will shorten his life. Even in death, Ovid will never return to Rome: Augustus will refuse to allow him to be buried there. I lost everything: my country, my family, and I did it many times. Exile is this dwelling on loss. There is no return for someone who has abandoned their birthplace, willingly or by force. Exile is also this captivating feeling born from the destruction of the past and the expectation of rebirth. A poetic, moving evocation of this feeling of exile. Ovid is the hero, the brother, the mirror of the author in this story where we also meet other writers in their exile: Joyce, Leonardo Sciascia, Pessoa, Thomas Mann, Zweig… EAN : 9782709658515 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : This Year, the Apples Are Red - Laurent Gerra, Georges Gerra - book Summary : It all began with a simple notebook the size of a school notebook, with regular lines, which Laurent Gerra never parted with and to which he always gave first place in his heart. It is the War Diary of his grandfather, who wrote it before his eyes, when he was a child. With a few crossings out here and there, the text was written in one go, like a story that we have carried within us for too long. Many years later, the comedian decided to make it known. Especially since these memories bear witness to the "phoney war" experienced by so many French people from the summer of 1939 onwards... And now another time, another era and the irreducible complicity between a grandfather and his grandson are revived before our eyes. Because Laurent Gerra grew up with this man who told him about his war, from the mobilization to his entry into the resistance, but also about life, the nature he loved so much and, without knowing it, gave him a leg up by one day offering him his first audience. This was the spark of passion. He was not yet 5 years old... EAN : 9782081370371 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : A Year in Provence - Peter Mayle - book Summary : "The year began with lunch. By half past twelve, the small restaurant was full. There were a few serious diners to admire: entire families with that plumpness one acquires from spending two or three hours a day at the table, their eyes fixed on the plate and conversations postponed. The restaurant's owner, a man who, despite his girth, had perfected the art of twirling in his establishment, had donned the appropriate attire: a velvet smoking jacket and bow tie. His pomaded mustache quivered with enthusiasm as he recited the menu like one intoning a rhapsody: it was a gastronomic aria that he attacked at each table, kissing his fingertips with such enthusiasm that his lips must have been chapped. During lunch, my wife and I thought of previous New Year's Days, passed under the impenetrable clouds of the English sky. It was difficult to associate it with January 1st. the bright sun and the indigo blue sky. Yet everyone kept telling us: it was absolutely normal. After all, we were in Provence..."
