Title : A slight lull - Nicolas Rey - book
Summary :
Confession of a Child of the Century is the most personal, the most intimate of Nicolas Rey's books, which he tells for the first time, with a sincerity that moves, without any embellishment. We find the themes that are dear to him, the atmosphere of his novels, vulnerability and cowardice in love, texts in the bathroom, football, Paris, close friendship... But above all, we find that little music, that concise grace that is his own, a way of making a fleeting sensation, ordinary life, universal. Between laughter and tears, a very beautiful text, his most beautiful text will reflect a lot, a magnificent moment of reading studded with jewels, images and sentences to read and reread like so many vitamins for the soul.

Title : The Secret of the Swordfish - Volume 2 - Edgar Pierre Jacobs - comic book
Summary : Weather phenomena of alarming magnitude are raging across Western Europe, disrupting the lives of millions of people... A long and deadly winter has been followed by a thaw conducive to flooding. These calamities have not spared France, and it is in a Paris where the ravages of the weather do not fail to worry the population that Professor Mortimer arrives. Concerned by these meteorological fluctuations and their disastrous consequences, his government has tasked him with determining their causes, and it is with this objective in mind that he goes to Jouy, to the home of his old friend Professor Labrousse, director of the weather service. But Mortimer is diverted from these fascinating scientific concerns by an unfortunate affair: the unexplained disappearance of the taxi driver that Labrousse had sent to pick Mortimer up at the station. In fact, Mortimer is the last person to have seen him alive and becomes the police's prime suspect. Our fiery Scotsman decides to solve this new enigma, and counts on the help of Captain Blake, also passing through France. The head of MI5 is on the trail of a network of spies whose center seems to be located in Paris itself. However, Mortimer disappears in turn, before being able to contact Blake. From then on, the latter, aided by Labrousse, launches into a double investigation: to flush out the mysterious network, and to find his friend. He will quickly realize that everything seems connected: the climatic disasters, the disappearance of Mortimer and the driver, and the existence of this network whose motivations and fantastic possibilities are unknown. And over all this hovers the disturbing shadow of Olrik and a foreign power with colossal means and hostile intentions...

Title : Les Bidochon, volume 15 - Bidochon mother (mom) - Binet - comic book
Summary : He's Robert. He's easily recognizable: beret, suspenders, belly. She's Raymonde, his wife. Together, they form a depressing couple: the Bidochons. Depressing, but furiously funny. Ever since Binet, one of the authors of the humor magazine Fluide glacial , began chronicling their daily marital life in his comics, they've experienced all the experiences of the average contemporary Frenchman. These include, among other things, low-rent housing, home ownership, package holidays, and the sacrosanct TV. This time, they're getting into cell phones. And, as usual, it's hilarious all the way. You should have seen Robert explain to Raymonde, who is vaguely reluctant to modernity, that the only thing that matters with a cell phone isn't making calls: it's using up the phone plan... Are the Bidochons caricatures? Of course, of course. But still, when you think about it, the reader ends up wondering if there aren't, on certain days, something of the Bidochons in him... --Gilbert Jacques The story is simple: Robert and Raymonde, having gone to see her for the weekend, find themselves sequestered by Madame Bidochon, the mother, victims of her tyrannical affection. This is the opportunity BINET was missing to reveal some spicy family secrets... But the real flavor of this fifteenth volume is discovering that Mother Bidochon is, above all... Raymonde's mother-in-law! This new album will delight all those who have a mother or mother-in-law in their circle... but remember, the Bidochons are the others!

Contents of this album: Social Security, Police, tax audit, Civil Registry computer, hypermarket surveillance and lawyer. Fortunately for us, this time again, BINET's humor remains the strongest and avenges us on these evildoers. To be widely distributed in all administrations.

But still, when you think about it, the reader ends up wondering if there aren't, on certain days, something of the Bidochons in him... --Gilbert Jacques They form a disillusioned couple who no longer expect anything, or almost nothing, from their life together: - Robert: "Raymonde is like an anvil! Wherever she is, there she stays!" - Raymonde: "On Sunday mornings, Robert goes to get bread in his jogging suit... 200 meters by car to the bakery. Jogging suits plus gas, that's an expensive baguette!" In eight stories, from "A Year Already" to "The Sunday Evening Movie," introduced by eight pages never published in Fluide Glacial, BINET tenderly tells us about the mediocrity of his characters, their suppressed desires, their failed existence, while still managing to make us laugh on every page. A masterpiece of sad humor.

Title : Les Bidochon, volume 2 - on vacation - Binet - comic book

It takes place in a holiday village where BINET brings together all the horrible mediocrity of our beautiful organized leisure society. From the host of the "cultural" evenings to the "gastronomic" excursion, via local crafts and the shoelace museum, BINET's scalpel performs a vivisection that will put you off going on vacation forever. A valuable sociological document sketched by a very great comedian.

Title : Les Bidochon, volume 20 - Don't stop progress - Binet - comic book
Summary : The Bidochons may not stop progress, but progress doesn't stop the Bidochons either! But what could stop them, our favorite rascals?!? Certainly not the latest purifier-ionizer, the softener (a utensil for softening butter, eh!), the indispensable distance estimator or the no less necessary self-soaking wash mitt! Robert Bidochon seems to have plundered all the catalogs for modern men, crisscrossed all the shops selling gadgets for suckers, bought up on E-Bay the improbable gifts of all the disappointed Christmas people. He draws Raymonde, her neighbors and us into his enthusiastic experiments, so many domestic adventures that can only end in resounding fiascos... and perfectly hilarious ones!

Title : What have I done - Jean d'Ormesson - book
Summary :
"What have I done? I have been happy in a cruel world, almost everything in which I have admired, even the sorrows." Jean d'Ormesson invites us to follow the Latin adage that recommends devoting our brief hours to immortal works. Inexhaustible works of nature and the splendors of the whole earth and of art, the spectacle of the genius of men, the enchanting commerce of writers and poets, that, delicious, of the heart and body of women. A new hymn of love to a certain art of living by a child of the century, profoundly epicurean. "A new d'Ormesson is always a glass of champagne delivered to your home. No French writer is capable of putting so many bubbles into life." Dominique Bona – Femina Version

Title : Provence toujours - Peter Mayle - book
Summary :
Peter Mayle brilliantly captured, in a humorous tone, the competitive spirit that reigns between the English and the French,” Ridley Scott In Ménerbes, a small village in the Luberon, life goes on without much change for Peter Mayle. The customs and traditions of the Provençals are still obscure and surprising to our former English advertising executive. On the terrace of the Café du Progrès, amidst the vineyards or at the truffle markets, delightful characters lead us on a journey of discovery of the subtleties of their region. Sometimes touching on the tale, this chronicle is a succession of scenes which recall the atmosphere of A Year in Provence. Born in 1939 in England, Peter Mayle was awarded the title of Knight of the Legion of Honor. A lover of Provence, he dedicated part of his books to this region, including Provence always, Happiness in Provence, A good vintage, adapted for the cinema by Ridley Scott, and A Year in Provence, a worldwide bestseller that sold over six million copies, he died in 2018 in Aix-en-Provence.
