Title : The Last Cabin Boy - Francisco Coloane - book Summary : At the beginning of the century, the corvette General Baquedano, a sailing training ship of the Chilean Navy, left Talcahuano and headed towards Cape Horn. On board, Alejandro, a fifteen-year-old boy stowed away, will encounter the harsh realities of the sea and the seafaring profession. At the end of the voyage, he will discover a wild and beautiful land, located at the edge of the Southern Hemisphere. This short coming-of-age novel, which combines the epic of the maritime universe with the magical beauty of icy landscapes, has won a wide audience in Latin America; which has allowed Alvaro Mutis, who introduced Coloane's work to us, to consider the latter as "a new Jack London."

Title : Confessions of a Spoiled Child - Jacques-Pierre Amette - book Summary : They were twenty years old in 1968, thought they were remaking the world, and were often content to let themselves be lulled: "we created melancholy like our elders created utopia," wrote Jacques-Pierre Amette. Time has passed, everyone has grown up, become an adult, a father or a mother, the dreams and projects of the past have not materialized. What remains are the memories, the obsessions, and the passions that these Confessions of a Spoiled Child superbly highlight. Constructing his story like a kaleidoscope, Jacques-Pierre Amette paints a portrait, sometimes disillusioned and lyrical, sometimes ferocious, of a generation.

Title : The Sergeant in the Snow - Mario Rigoni Stern - book Summary : The retreat from Russia—that of the great "European" army launched by Hitler against the USSR. No grand battle narratives; no political theses, but a few Italian soldiers lost in this adventure, who march and suffer, who are hungry, cold, and struggling—which is the hardest part—not to lose all human feeling forever. The voice of a witness that never speaks out but will be heard by everyone. This classic of post-war Italian literature was unanimously praised by Vittorini, Calvino, and Primo Levi, who wrote of the author: "The fact that Rigoni Stern exists is miraculous in itself. Miraculous, first of all, his own survival: that of a man who always stood at the antipodes of violence and whom fate forced to participate in all the wars of his time. Miraculous, finally, is the fact that Rigoni has managed to maintain his authenticity in our crazy age." EAN : 9782264020802 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : The Moving House - Jean-Loup Trassard - book Summary : In 1941 - therefore during the Occupation - a family of farmers, seven children, leaves their small farm for a large one hundred and ten kilometers away: preparations, travel on carts, installation... On a bocage scale, a sort of Rush to the West! Master of larger fields, Victor increases his own land under the gaze of other peasants and his family resembles that of the pioneers, without ever disturbing the understanding with Marguerite. We are then in the heart of a farm, a place rarely explored by literature, and the memorable bad weather mixes with the agricultural work, while all rural life in this troubled period quickly passes by, with many village or animal figures, then the events of the Liberation, and again the marriage of the daughters... In fact, this novel is only chatter, like around the table when the day is low, the stories of those we have known call to each other between cups. It would be endless if it weren't for - hey, the rain is stopping - getting up and going back to work. EAN : 9782070336395 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : Autobiography of my father - Pierre Pachet - book Summary : Why revive the man with whom one has spoken so little, one's own father, and of whom one quickly points out that he was "in no way a hero"? To settle scores? Certainly not. By choosing to write an autobiography of his father in the first person, the author takes a risky literary gamble that he masterfully wins. Dr. Simkha Opachevsky, a "Jew of his time," born in Russia in 1905 and died in Vichy in 1965, was undoubtedly not the perfect father figure that everyone dreams of. But the novel of his life, influenced by exile, wars, and then, in France, the Nazi occupation, recounted with intense sobriety, gives voice to a man whose wealth is revealed like a treasure throughout the pages. It is this "voice," which remained internal until his own son gave it a voice here, which makes the magic of this book: familiar, authoritative, enigmatic. As Pierre Pachet says, "the words of my dead father demanded to speak through me as they had never spoken before, beyond our two combined forces."
