Title : Lovers of the Pacific - Susan Wiggs - book
Summary : Since the death of his young wife, Jesse Morgan has lived cloistered in a lighthouse on the Pacific coast. A wild, devastated coastline—just like him. For Jesse has lost the will to live. Only the violence of the waves crashing against the rocks seems to echo his soul. Nothing, he thinks, will be able to tear him away from the bitterness of his memories. Nothing—until the day a wave deposits the lifeless body of a pregnant stranger on the shore. A mysterious woman whose luminous face he only has to contemplate for life to suddenly return. Perhaps Mary is his chance. But can he ever be happy again?

Title : Spiritist - Théophile Gauthier - book
Summary :
Far from the truculence of Captain Fracasse and the provocations of Mademoiselle de Maupin, Gautier tells, through Malivert's initiatory journey, his own story, that of a writer disappointed by the vulgarity of his time but who retains an intact faith in the power of art. Spirite constitutes, in this respect, a vibrant plea in favor of beauty.

Title : The Viceroy of Ouidah - Bruce Chatwin - book
Summary : This is yet another fabulous story that Bruce Chatwin pulls from his backpack. That of a white Brazilian slave trader, Francisco Manoel da Silva, a character inspired by the very true Francisco Félix de Souza who arrived on the shores of Dahomey, this "black Sparta", at the beginning of the 19th century. An unrepentant traveler, Bruce Chatwin investigated in Dahomey (present-day Benin), then in Brazil, to tell an odyssey that will see Francisco ally himself with the king of Dahomey, before being thrown in prison. Saved by Kankpé, the king's half-brother, Francisco thanks the latter by installing him on the throne. The new king then grants him a monopoly on the slave trade. Having become viceroy of Ouidah, the opulent Francisco, a surprising hybrid of satrap and idealistic gentleman, transforms Dahomey into a "military machine". Abandoning the slave trade, he attempts to develop trade with Europe. Paradoxically, he also encouraged the creation of a sort of "little Brazil" in Dahomey, made up of former slaves who had bought their freedom to return to the land of their ancestors... A formidable back and forth of history. A century after Francisco's death, his distant grandchildren were still flocking to Benin. Longing for the golden age of the slave trade, they sought their ancestor's fortune. Going beyond the picaresque, Chatwin delivers a beautiful novel about the rise and fall of an elusive adventurer, a novel that is also a treatise on exile. The Viceroy of Ouidah was adapted for the cinema by Werner Herzog, under the title Cobra Verde, starring Klaus Kinski.

Title : The Kennedy File - Gérard de Villiers - book
Summary :
Malko slammed on the accelerator in a rage. The bulldozer drove into the fence like butter, then stopped dead: the tracks were slipping. A long burst of machine-gun fire cracked and bullets whistled past, tearing off strips of bark. A projectile ricocheted off the steel inches from Malko's head. If he couldn't tear down this fence, the Czech border guards would be here in less than a minute. He would have the choice between death and the gulag.

Title : A Human Comedy - William Saroyan - book
Summary : Although the Macauleys are not just another family, their daily life in the small Californian town of Ithaca during World War II is that of the entire nation. In the absence of the recently deceased father and the eldest son Marcus, who has gone to the army, Homer must ensure the family's survival by delivering telegrams home. It is often through him, this "angel of death," that the war comes to Ithaca, for he is responsible for delivering the most dreaded news... By giving an almost mythical dimension to this portrait of an American family, Saroyan manages to make this novel an authentic hymn to life. Subtle, light, overflowing with humor and fantasy, A Human Comedy is a magnificent lesson in humanism. We will quickly understand that Saroyan is not only a wonderful storyteller but also a great philosopher.

Title : Physiology of Taste - Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin - book
Summary : The Physiology of Taste is a collection of memoirs. Memoirs of humor, in a heroic-comic tone, or how to treat familiar subjects with a touch of nobility, a zest of pomp or solemnity. This could be tiresome, if everything were not bathed in modesty and gaiety. Brillat-Savarin is the most amiable author there is. But it is about cooking. Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826) inaugurates with genius this intellectualization of gastronomy which has not ceased until our days. He is a witness to the era when the restaurant, a place to eat, is imposed to the detriment of the inn, a refuge for the traveler without fire or place, where one did little but drink and eat. Cooking becomes professionalized and every profession gives rise to discourse; sitting down to eat is a matter of language. Beyond the need to eat, the pleasure of the table is like a staging: the luxury of desire. The desired food is a kind of ethnographic ceremony by which man celebrates his power, his freedom to burn his energy "for nothing." "In this sense," says Roland Barthes, "Brillat-Savarin's book is from start to finish the book of the "properly human," because it is desire (in that which it speaks to itself) that distinguishes man."
