Title : A Little Praise for the First Time - Vincent Wackenheim - book
Summary
"The very first time an old friend of your father's gets close to you in the kitchen, demand a large sum of money without delay, failing which you would be sadly obliged to denounce him both to his wife and to your own mother. Once the sum is spent, nothing prevents you from seeing your father's old friend again quite closely, and not only in the kitchen, because then things between you will be clear. If the game is worth the candle, ruin him slowly, taking care not to let the fat burn."

Title : The Flames of Liberty - Georges Coulonges - book
Summary
In occupied France, the Resistance has organized itself. Dédé Lassale and his friends are part of it. One night, they are preparing to receive a parachute drop of weapons from London. But the Germans capture the head of the network, Hervé Garin-Millaud, and find at his home the list of his 120 group leaders, who are immediately arrested. The head of the Gestapo offers him a deal: "You give us the weapons and I free your 120 comrades." Hervé accepts. The Resistance then divided into two camps: those who accused Garin-Millaud of treason and those who defended him. The flames of freedom would burn many people before lighting up the skies of France in 1944.

Title : Thérèse Raquin - Emile Zola - book
Summary
I wanted to study temperaments and not characters. I chose characters supremely dominated by their nerves and their blood, devoid of free will, driven to every act of their life by the fatalities of their flesh: Thérèse and Laurent are human brutes, nothing more. [...] In a word, I had only one desire: given a powerful man and an unfulfilled woman, to seek the beast in them, to see only the beast, to throw them into a violent drama, and to scrupulously note the sensations and actions of these beings. I simply did on two living bodies the analytical work that surgeons do on cadavers. Zola, Preface to the 2nd edition of Thérèse Raquin. What dazzles us today in Thérèse Raquin is Zola the poet and visionary, director of reality and painter of the souls of the night. [...] What force in the description of these beings walled up within themselves, defeated by obscure powers they cannot name, already ransomed by the death that awaits them! And what brilliant dramatic invention throughout this descent into hell, breathless, convulsive, wild! Robert Abirached Full text

Title : History of the Chevalier des Grieux and Manon Lescaut - Abbé Prévost - book
Summary
At the age of seventeen, he was about to leave Amiens, where he was completing his philosophy studies. Des Grieux saw the Arras coach arrive. A young girl got off, so charming that he approached her to question her: her parents were sending her to become a nun, and she knew she would be unhappy. Determined to free her from the tyranny of her parents, he put her up in an inn whose owner was devoted to him, and the next day, at daybreak, the two of them left for Paris. When it tragically ended, des Grieux recounted his tumultuous affair with Manon to the Marquis de Renoncour, who reported it in his Memoirs that Prévost published in May 1731. It is thus the very voice of the knight that we hear, it is the emotion that he feels in recounting and reliving what he has experienced that touches us - and his words sound so true that we could believe that Manon and des Grieux had really existed, or that Abbé Prévost was transposing a moment from his own life. But the poignant realism of this tale filled with suffering, of this story where pleasure is lived, bought, and leads to death, is only due to the dazzling art of the author. Professor Emeritus at the University of Tours and former member of the University Institute of France, Jean Goulemot recently published Adieu les philosophes. Que reste-t-il des Lumières? (Seuil, 2001). He also provided Livre de Poche with an edition of Diderot's Paradox on the Actor and Rousseau's La Nouvelle Héloïse.

Title : Steve Jobs - Walter Isaacson - book
Summary
Suggested by Apple founder Steve Jobs, who was facing a terrible illness, based on more than forty interviews conducted over two years and interviews with a hundred family members, friends, rivals, competitors, and colleagues, the book traces the incredible life and extraordinary personality of a genius, perfectionist and hyperactive, who revolutionized computers, animated films, music, telephones, touch tablets, and digital publishing. Steve Jobs is now the absolute icon of inventiveness. He understood that combining creativity with technology had become essential. Steve Jobs, of course, collaborated on the book but did not ask for any right to review what was written, or even to read it before publication. He imposed no limits; on the contrary, he encouraged those around him to speak freely. “There are a lot of things I’m not proud of,” he says, “including how, at 23, I handled the situation when my girlfriend got pregnant. But I don’t have any skeletons in the closet that I’m trying to hide.” Steve Jobs speaks with extreme candor about the people he has worked with or competed with. He can deeply infuriate the people around him. His friends, enemies, and colleagues speak frankly about his passions, his demons, his desires, his intransigence, and his obsession with control that have shaped his business vision and the innovations that have resulted from them. Steve Jobs’s personality and the products he creates are intertwined, like different parts of an integrated system—all Apple products and software participate in this logic. Jobs’s career is exemplary, a model of innovation, character, business leadership, and values.

Title : Uncle Vanya - Anton Pavlovich Chekhov - book
