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 : 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. EAN : 9782290342664 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

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.
