Title : Bread of the Sea - Joël Raguenes - book Summary : "Joël Raguénès delivers here a superb saga which allows us to discover the islands of Ponant and the coast of Léon so wild and so beautiful. It is written with efficiency but also with the poetry essential to this region, in which the harshness of the people and places implied generosity and courage." Christian Signol 1923. Gwen-Aël Kernéis is twenty-eight years old and is finishing her studies in Paris, while taking over the management of the family iodine business in Le Conquet that François, her father, had left her two years earlier. His meeting with Viviane and then an accident at the factory will turn his life upside down. Faced with all kinds of difficulties, he realizes that he is not alone; his father and his friend Yves Kerléo, the former king of sea bread, are only too happy to help him restart the factory and fight the decline of the iodine industry. Gwen-Aël and Viviane, along with their loved ones, Karl, Julia, Aurélie, and Jean-Yves, love each other, get married, have children, suffer, work, and have fun, like their parents, and like, again, all those who share with them this epic tale of iodine and kelp. All will be caught up in the turmoil of an era that—the madness of some, the cowardice of others—leads them, inexorably, toward an announced war.

Title : The Paths of Adventure - Juliette Benzoni - book Summary : Adventure with a capital A and in every sense of the word: glorious, desperate, sordid, or ambitious. Spartacus, the rebellious slave, who breaks his chains and briefly threatens all-powerful Rome, chooses to live dangerously. Gilles de Rais, Marshal of France at twenty-five and companion of Joan of Arc, loses his life on the scaffold. Stenka Razine, the rebellious Cossack, is quartered. However, Jeanne de Clisson, who, out of despair for love, scours the seas with incredible ferocity and stands up to King Philip VI of France, peacefully breathes her last in her bed, just like the Duke of Guise at the royal Château de Blois or the brave Bussy d'Amboise in an Angevin manor. As for the fanatical loyalty of a Cadoudal, it elevates Adventure to its highest peaks while it sinks with Brinvilliers and Jeanne de La Motte-Valois. Adventurers possess in their hearts, perhaps more than other mortals, the violence of human passions. Their ghosts, soberly evoked, despite the blood and tears - or perhaps because of them - emit a moving light that the centuries have not weakened and that Juliette Benzoni, with her talents as a storyteller, knows so well how to recreate.
