Title: The Routard Polar - The Angels of the Mekong - Patrick Mercado - book Summary : The Angels of the Mekong "Nothing is simple in Asia." Luis, whom he met in Laos, keeps repeating this to Edmond Benakem. This barrel-built guy, whose gait oscillates between the waddle of a duck and the nonchalance of a grizzly bear, distracts Eddie from his work to go down the Mekong in search of a young Hmong girl taken from her parents. This initiatory hunt will lead them, after many adventures and endearing encounters, to Phnom Penh. Confronted with violence he never suspected, fascinated by the Khmers, bewitched by Jeanne, Edmond learns the hard way that it is a land "that eats away at your soul" and succumbs to the Mekong blues. Young Edmond Benakem, nicknamed Eddie, a Frenchman of Tunisian-Breton descent, a reporter for the Guide du Routard, would like to peacefully do his job as a globetrotting explorer. But he doesn't take into account the formidable force of circumstances, which, for each new destination, leads him into incredible tribulations. Faced with extraordinary situations, Eddie reacts with his heart, his humor, and his sensitivity. Each time, for each thriller, a colorful journey to the land of fierce confusion...

Title: The Day of the Killer Child - Pierre Pelot - book Summary : 35,000 years ago, the Anâanni clan led a peaceful life on the shores of a lake in the mountains. When Okgha the Dream assigns Ahorn to restore life and strength to the neighboring clan, the Ohihani, Ahorn willingly accepts because he knows he will find Ene'a, whom he has been thinking about ever since he saw her on the shore one day when the Ohihani women came to visit—or so he believes. For among the Ohihani, strange men with sewn lips, the nokh, seem to hold a dangerous secret, and several women have disappeared, among them Ene'a. So Ahorn is drawn, despite himself, into a completely different story: to find Ene'a and, at the risk of his life, to confront the evil forces that transform men into nokh.

Title: The Shock of Love - Francesco Alberoni - book Summary : We hope for it, we endure it, we mourn it... We don't explain it. How does love begin? Why do we fall in love? Is love a revolution? Can you be in love with two people at the same time? To these questions, Francesco Alberoni answers with two words: nascent love, innamoramento Italian. The spark in the daily dreariness, the joyful openness to the world. Happiness mixed with worry because we don't know if this feeling is shared. The exquisite moment when everything is still possible. A transitory state that sometimes leads to love. A phenomenon comparable to collective revolutionary movements...

Title: Eleanor's Bed - Mireille Calmel - book Summary : A first novel where the supernatural and sensuality mingle with History, recreating an unsuspected Eleanor of Aquitaine. 1137 in Poitiers. Eleanor, the very young Duchess of Aquitaine, is stamping her feet with impatience. Today, Loanna of Grimwald arrives at her court. She is fifteen years old, like her. A new lady-in-waiting for Eleanor, perhaps more interesting than the others, for she is said to be very piquant. What Eleanor doesn't know is that the beautiful Loanna descends from a line of druids, fathered by Merlin the Enchanter and Viviane, guardian of druidic secrets. From mother to daughter, these women watch over the destiny of England. Like her ancestors before her, Loanna is a bit fairy, a bit witch... She is sent to Eleanor with a mission: to become her friend, her advisor, her shadow, and to ensure that one day she marries Henry, the heir to England who is still only four years old. Loanna forms a tender friendship with Eleanor in the Aquitaine court with its very liberal morals. But fate thwarts her plans: Eleanor is given in marriage to Louis VII, the dull King of France. No matter, Loanna follows her to the French court... Because as long as Eleanor doesn't give Louis a male heir, all is not lost for Henry! A surprisingly masterful first novel, driven by the verve of Mireille Calmel, where the supernatural meddles with human life, sometimes cruelly, but often in the service of love. The characters are caught in the whirlwind of rivalry between France and England, in a fierce battle between the Christian Church and ancient pagan beliefs, a world disappearing forever... What more can be said, except that Mireille Calmel has talent? There are few writers who bend history to their story, to the point where one wonders if it really happened like that.
