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 : The Bald Soprano - Eugène Ionesco - book
Summary : (English bourgeois interior, with English armchairs.) While everyone has heard of The Bald Soprano, few know its source: it was from the dialogues of The Englishman Without Trouble by the Assimil method, featuring an English couple, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, their maid Mary, and their guests, that Ionesco's lines were naturally assembled, producing what the author calls an "anti-play," a true parody of theater. With its spirit of derision that goes against tradition and its sketches leading to a denouement worthy of the surrealists, The Bald Soprano, created in 1950, is one of the emblematic works of the theater of the absurd and the symbol of modern theater in progress.

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.

Upon encountering this mysterious country, she decides not to return to Rome and falls in love with Adam, a safari organizer, who fascinates her.

Title : Kife la violence - Stéphane Bosano - book
Summary :
In the thick puffs of delirious hallucinations, one would like to kill so that the noise would finally stop.

From childhood, he accumulated crimes and knew no limits. Drugs amplify his destructive instincts and precipitate this inner violence from which he cannot escape. He steals, beats, rapes... At 24, he decides to stop the massacre and begins to try to understand what led him to the carnage of his own life and that of others. We follow this devastating journey step by step. With a lucidity never devoid of sensitivity and hope, he brings a different perspective to this current reality.
