Title : The Confessions - Books I to IV - Jean-Jacques Rousseau - book Summary : I am undertaking an undertaking which has never been preceded and whose execution will have no imitator. I want to show my fellow men a man in all the truth of nature; and that man will be me." In these first four books of his Confessions, Rousseau recounts his youth, from his birth (1712) until the age of 19 (1731). He recounts his difficult childhood in Geneva - he, the son of a modest watchmaker, motherless - and his flight to escape his environment; his travels; finally his providential meeting with Madame de Warens, an older woman with whom he immediately falls in love. It will be for him a new birth, and the entry into adulthood. More than thirty years later, Rousseau looks at Jean-Jacques. He recounts his childhood sorrows, his adolescent joys, confesses his petty thefts ("I was therefore a rascal"), relives his first romantic emotions, and plunges back into his dazzling discovery of reading, which saved him from boredom ("I did not choose: I read everything with equal avidity"). He makes, in in short, the assessment of his apprenticeship in life. In this extraordinary quest for an identity, a true novel of origins, Rousseau tells his story, Rousseau reinvents himself.

Title : The Horla and other fantastic tales - Guy de Maupassant - book Summary This volume of fantastic stories, most of which were written between 1882 and 1887, was not composed by Maupassant himself. Reading them in sequence, collected in the order of their publication, one will better understand, however, that the fantastic is a constant in the work - and one that appeared very early on: contrary to what a certain legend has led people to believe, Maupassant, although madness overcame him at the end of his life, did not write from his own dictation. But is it really fantasy? Nothing supernatural here, nor marvelous. But stories that give way to anguish and cruelty, madness and fear, to the division of being that is analyzed with lucidity. The genius of the author is then to make his reader captive, to act on his conscience and to make him believe naturally and simply that this interior fantasy, coherent and logical, is also ordinary life, but suddenly become strange.

Title : Pierre Et Jean - Guy de Maupassant, - book Summary A Parisian merchant couple, the Rolands, retired to Le Havre.

Pierre and Jean do not love each other, but the family lives in peace until the day it is learned that an old friend of the Rolands left his entire fortune to Jean upon dying. Why to Jean alone?

Title : Cocteau Prince Without a Kingdom - Lange Monique - book Summary Cocteau, as we know, is avant-garde, curiosity. Strange, this gaze that is always "ahead", to the point of always grasping in those around him (Picasso, Diaghilev, Gide, Proust, Radiguet, Chanel...) or in new technical means (cinema, photography...) what will make the sensitivity of tomorrow. It has been said that he followed fashion. No, he preceded it. Restore the multiple, remake the kaleidoscope of Cocteau the man, tightrope walker of ideas and dreams, enchanter crushed by the difficulty of being, eternal child forever in search of love, such is the undertaking of Monique Lange's book. More than the detail of everyday life, it is the spirit of Cocteau that interests us here. Hence a lively reading of a world whose effervescence never ceases to amaze us, hence this cheerful way of giving taste to the work, one of the most singular of this century.

Title : Françoise - Laure Adler - book Summary What if Françoise Giroud were even greater than her legend? Richer, more complex, more interesting than the popular image of the talented young woman who became the leading journalist of her time? We know the trajectory: hired by Hélène Lazareff at the creation of Elle , then co-founder of L'Express , and finally columnist at Nouvel Observateur , the former script-girl of Jean Renoir had a way with killer phrases: the mark under the charming smile. Companion and accomplice of Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber, fierce opponent of the Algerian War, faithful friend of Mendès France and Mitterrand, the one who "invented" the New Wave and drove a convertible was a great lover, loving pleasure as much as duty. A politician, this daughter of Turkish immigrants never passed her baccalaureate, but became Secretary of State for the Status of Women under Giscard d'Estaing. A hard worker, devilishly elegant, in love with freedom, she was a visionary, who embodied the birth of the modern woman. But here we discover that this passionate temperament also has its dark sides - the experience of betrayal, a fit of passionate madness, a suicide attempt, the death of a son... What if a sentence from his mother, on her deathbed, had determined his trajectory and his destiny? Through the portrait of an exceptional woman, Laure Adler brings back to life a fiery era: a time, not so long ago, when people still knew how to fight for ideals.

Title : The Barber of Seville - Beaumarchais - book Summary "An old man in love claims to marry his ward tomorrow; a more skillful young lover anticipates him, and that very day makes her his wife, under the nose and in the house of the guardian. This is the basis, from which one could have made, with equal success, a tragedy, a comedy, a drama, an opera, et cetera ." This is how Beaumarchais himself presented The Barber of Seville , which in 1775 quickly triumphed and then enjoyed lasting success: Marie-Antoinette herself played the role of Rosina in 1785; two opera librettos were taken from it for Paesiello and Rossini. This is because verbal fantasy and dramatic power offer the spectator a play whose action remains suspended on a fragile link - a word or a silence that can end everything or cause everything to fail - and this is the model for comedy in the two centuries to come.
