Title : I'm not here - Olivier Barrot - book Summary : From the most exotic to the most familiar, from the South Seas to the right bank of the Seine, here is a celebration of departure, of distance, of elsewhere and elsewheres, which begin at the doorstep. A bad weather, a look, a memory, the spirit of the place, the ambient atmosphere, the wandering mood: having grasped the world in alphabetical order, Olivier Barrot combines these emotions over the long term. For, more than eternity, he aspires without much hope to ubiquity. Never tired of airports and connections, always happy to return, he has traveled since adolescence, has been everywhere or almost, accompanied by books and notebooks. He has read, a lot, watched, a lot too, and written, a little. From his wanderings, he has brought us some thirty musical moments which constitute both a story of the world and a philosophy of travel. And which form, in a literary exercise of rare happiness, the book of small and large absences. EAN: 9782710330035 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : Lives and Philosophical Opinions of a Cat - Hippolyte Taine - book Summary : I have studied philosophers and cats extensively. The wisdom of cats is infinitely superior."

Title : Everything is language - Françoise Dolto - book Summary : This book is based on a lecture given to psychologists, doctors, and social workers. I wanted to make those involved in the education, teaching, and care of children and young people with physical, psychological, emotional, family, or social difficulties aware of the importance of words spoken or unspoken about events that mark a child's life, often without their knowledge. My aim is to awaken this audience of adults, living in contact with children, to the fact that human beings are above all beings of language. This language expresses their desire to meet another, similar or different to them, and to establish communication with them. That this desire is unconscious rather than conscious is what I want to make clear. That spoken language is a special case of this desire and that, very often, it distorts the truth of the message, intentionally or not. That the effects of this game of truth masks are always vitalizing for the developing child. The child needs the truth, and has the right to it.

It is because I do not want my life to be changed and turned upside down by a confession. I am infinitely curious to know what will become of me; I do not want to divert this locomotive that is the symbol of my life onto another track.

I could be her grandfather or even her great-grandfather: a strange team that the two of us form. A week later, for the first time, I told her about the black boy and the wonderful gift I received from him, that a cappella singing that flowed from his throat like liquid gold. It was a primitive incantation, a melody where lament alternated with a kind of jubilant fervor, and these sounds flowed through my veins, through my bones, and I would have given anything for this joy that filled me to last forever.

She lives alone with her mother; he nourishes the almost obsessive hope of finding the dark angel who once amazed him with her magnificent singing...
