Title : Martin Dressler or the Novel of an American Dreamer - Steven Millhauser - book
Summary :
1997 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction Awarded the Pulitzer Prize and, for its French translation, the Maurice-Edgar Coindreau Prize, Martin Dressler or the novel of an American dreamer is part of the continuity of the demanding and rare work of one of the greatest contemporary writers. The author of "The Too Short Life of Edwin Mullhouse, American Writer, 1943-1954, Told by Jeffrey Cartwright," winner of the Prix Médicis étranger in 1975, recounts here the mythical destiny of a self-made man in New York at the turn of the last century. This "dreamer" is Martin Dressler, the modest son of a cigar merchant, a pragmatic man and brilliant inventor, possessed by a visionary madness. This demiurge who listens to "his heart's desire" will experience a fortune that only dreams can make possible. Steven Millhauser plays this science of trompe-l'oeil like a virtuoso, keeping the reader on the narrow border between dream and life, fiction and reality, truth and its representation. A fabulous story indeed, that of Martin Dressler, the embodiment of the American dream but also of the myths and utopias that have shaped the Western imagination. With this extraordinary novel, Steven Millhauser establishes himself as the most European of current American authors.

Title : The Good Use of Slowness - Pierre Sansot - book
Summary :
A certain form of wisdom is recognized by the desire not to rush time, not to let ourselves be jostled by it, to increase our capacity to welcome the event. We have called this availability of the individual slowness. It requires that we give time every chance and let our soul breathe through strolling, writing, listening, and rest. Pierre Sansot, the author of "Gens de peu", "La France sensible" and "Jardins publics", gives, in this essay, some advice concerning an urban policy, a certain use of culture, a certain use of the senses.

Title : The Condottiere's Journey - Towards Venice, Fiorenza, Beloved Siena - André Suarès - book
Summary : Although he summons the tutelary shadow of Stendhal, the Condottiere has shed all authority. His journey is unique in that it treats cities as characters: Rimini is "gloomy like a successful assassination attempt," Genoa is banal "like the thoughts of an American shopkeeper." Each city not only has its painting, its musical piece, its church, its great man, it also has its own face, its warts, its wrinkles, its bad breath, its smile (the ardent Siena is a "kiss in a mystical smile"). Each corner visited gives birth to a prose poem, where sometimes the vision of a couple united in beatitude emerges. Clare, the patrician of Assisi, seeing Saint Francis booed, reviled, wants no other fiancé than this "mad Little Poor." Catherine of Siena consoles a man condemned to death, promises him eternal marriage, leads him to the scaffold and receives his head in her hands.

Title : A Monkey in Winter - Antoine Blondin - book
Summary :
1959 Interallied Prize
"The driver no longer had the leisure to slow down... Motionless, his stomach touching the hood, his feet together, Fouquet wrapped himself in a caressing movement around the body of the car that was speeding towards him; for a moment, he gave the impression that he was going to abandon his jacket to the bristling side of the car, but it had already passed him, and, tucking his garment under his arm, he freed his right hand to wave to the spectators who were exclaiming variously. "Ollé," he said..."
