Title : Claude Gueux - Victor Hugo - book
Summary : A man named Claude Gueux, a poor worker, lived in Paris in 1831. He had with him a girl who was his mistress and a child by this girl... He was capable, skillful, intelligent, very badly treated by education, very well treated by nature, not knowing how to read but knowing how to think. One winter, work was lacking. The man, the girl, and the child were cold and hungry. The man stole. The result was three days of bread and fire for the woman and the child and five years in prison for the man. He was sent to do his time at the Clairvaux Prison. We will see what the Society did with him. An allegorical account of an individual tragedy, this ardent plea against the death penalty and against prison lays bare the mechanism of social brutality which can only respond to distress through repression. With Claude Gueux , Victor Hugo is no longer simply a novelist or poet. He has achieved a prominent place among the greatest orators of Liberty.

Title : I write to you every day - Madame de Sévigné - book
Summary :
I embrace you, my dear good one. If you can, love me always, since it is the only thing I wish in this world for the peace of my soul. I wish many other things for you. Finally, everything revolves either on you, or from you, or for you, or by you." (March 23, 1671) For nearly half a century, Marie de Rabutin-Chantal, Marquise de Sévigné (1626-1696), wrote hundreds of letters to her friends and those around her, but especially to her daughter after her marriage to M. de Grignan in 1669. Published in the 18th century, this private correspondence will be unanimously celebrated and will serve as a model for generations.

Title : Claude Gueux - Brighelli - book
Summary : Five years in prison to avoid seeing his wife shiver with cold, his child die of hunger. To suffer the humiliations imposed by an unscrupulous prison guard. Then, to rebel against the harassment and contempt. Is it a crime to want to defend one's dignity, to want to remain a man, despite everything? A short, powerful story, Claude Gueux is based on a true story that Victor Hugo transforms into a universal plea. Students will find in this book food for thought on the death penalty, of course, but also on the themes of responsibility, dignity, and punishment. Thanks to the questionnaire, they will be able to vary their point of view and develop their capacity for analysis and reasoning. This study teaches how to question and prepares for work on argumentation. Claude Gueux appears in the supporting documents of the official National Education programs.

Title : Gulliver No. 3 - World Fiction - Collectives - book
Summary : World fiction... as we say world music, to describe this mixing, this crossbreeding, this ferment that is shaking up literature today after having crossed over into world music. At the heart of this movement: Salman Rushdie, of course, but also VS Naipaul, Patrick Chamoiseau, and so many others who are today freeing the novel from the habits and prejudices in which it was stifling. Nomads, defectors, immigrants, they were born in one culture and adopted another, by constraint or by choice. In tune with the world that is emerging before our eyes, are they not the messengers of tomorrow's literature? Through a dozen texts—fiction, reflections, poetry—this exceptional issue of Gulliver invites us to discover the new, colorful horizons of the novel...

Title : A History of Science Fiction - The Golden Age 1938-1957 - Jacques Sadoul - book
Summary : The city... He has decided to destroy it. But the Leviathan of concrete and steel engages in a titanic struggle to defend itself... A solar system disappears, a world dies... What superior entity can with impunity grant itself the right to destroy one civilization for the benefit of another? As the century experiences its greatest upheavals, science fiction enters its golden age. Post-apocalyptic worlds, exploratory voyages in space, temporal paradoxes... The genre turns more openly towards scientific foresight, and the writings reflect contemporary concerns. Jacques Sadoul has collected here eleven classic short stories by A.E. van Vogt, Richard Matheson, Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke, and Robert Heinlein, perfectly representative of a literary movement that is becoming essential.

Title : The Song of the Sirens - Collectives - book
Summary : It is sometimes said that bird sirens became fish by falling into the sea. Hybrid creatures born from the intersection of several legends, they have inspired poets since the dawn of time: Homer, Ovid, Andersen, Wells, and Giraudoux have each responded in their own way to the intoxicating seduction of their song. From the torture of Odysseus to the tragic fate of the Little Mermaid, the narrative and poetic variations of the legend highlight a multitude of incarnations. Nereids with long golden hair entwined with pearls, fearsome mermins, sea nymphs, or capricious undines, the sirens form a chorus of sublime and disparate voices. Here are nine strange and wonderful tales that pay homage to the most mysterious of creatures.
