Title : Discourse on the Origin and Foundations of Inequality among Men - Discourse on the Sciences and the Arts - Jean-Jacques Rousseau - book Summary : Four years after the Discourse on the Sciences and the Arts (1750), which made him famous, Rousseau found the opportunity to develop his principles with the Discourse on the Origin and Foundations of Inequality among Men. In it, he revealed himself to be the spokesperson for the humiliated and the offended, the interpreter of all those whom the social order, in Geneva as in France, condemned to live as strangers. Not only did he address all men, but he was determined to offer them, through his writings, the image of the integral man. He would designate the universal, indicating it both in the order of facts and in that of duty. At the same time, he discovered his grand manner, a haughty eloquence, which placed his stakes at the highest level. Polemic, reasoning, erudition, imagination, all came together in an unequaled intellectual fervor. The Discourse on Inequality incorporates multiple materials, but the work itself is a source work, from which one can begin all modern reflection on the nature of society. The obscure maneuvers of vice nor the modesty of virtue could have escaped the gaze and judgment of the public, and where this sweet habit of seeing and knowing one another made love of the fatherland the love of citizens rather than that of the land.

Title : The Empress - Nicole Avril - book Summary : The Austro-Hungarian Empire, Vienna, Emperor Franz Joseph, Louis King of Bavaria, Crown Prince Rudolf, Henry Heine, Liszt, Elizabeth Queen of Hungary, the famous Sissi: here we have some of the actors of one of the greatest mythologies in the world. Today even more than yesterday. A mythology of modern times since it is embodied in History from around 1830, which will experience its peaks and its abysses with the rout of the Austrians at Sadowa in 1866 and the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 in Sarajevo! With this name, the right to say, here, that the mythology in question is not only that of modern times, but also that of contemporaries. It is this mythological story that Nicole Avril tells us through the story of a woman, Elisabeth, Empress of Austria, the extraordinary "Sissi." Elisabeth in her grandeur and her weaknesses, her passion for Hungary, her aversion to court life, her friendships, her loves, her travels. She was assassinated in Geneva in 1898.

Title : Rumors of Rain - André Brink - book Summary : Martin Mynhardt is the man "who has everything": brilliant position, pretty wife, attractive mistress, two beautiful children, security... He is the typical Afrikaner, the white man sure of himself and his family, totally blind to the reality around him. And yet, it will take barely three days for Martin's world to tip over and collapse. Those whom Martin loved the most, quietly confusing love with possession, love with domination, move away from him in the terrible turmoil of South African political reality... André Brink set Rumours of Rain on the eve of the Soweto riots. Through Martin, he gives us a remarkable image of white South African society, in its precarious balance. Behind the beauty of the images, beyond the sumptuousness of the setting and the very beautiful love scenes, this is an implacable indictment of apartheid, like the other novels of the great writer André Brink: In the Darkest Night, A Moment in the Wind, A Dry White Season (Prix Médicis étranger), A Turbulent Silence.
