Title : Testimony - Nicolas Sarkozy - Book Summary : "As far back as I can remember, I've always wanted to take action. Transforming everyday life, making the impossible possible, finding room for maneuver, has always fascinated me. Politics was not a family tradition. Everything should have kept me away from it: I had neither connections nor fortune, I was not a civil servant, and I had a name that, with its foreign sound, would have convinced more than one person to fade into anonymity. But politics has this unique and demanding interest in being done with the French people, not against them, nor without them. I like the idea of ​​joint action, toward a common goal, to give hope to millions of people. So many people have given up. Gave up on believing that tomorrow can be more promising. Gave up on a happier future for their children. I want to explain here that there is no inevitability for those who are willing to dare, to try, to undertake. In a world that is moving at full speed, inaction is the riskiest position for our country and for every French person. I like to build, to act, to solve problems. I believe that everything is earned and that in the end the effort always pays off. These are my values. This is why I am in politics, this is what justifies, in my eyes, wanting to conquer the highest responsibilities. This is what I am here to tell you.

Title : Duel at the Summit - Sylvie Maligorne - Book Summary : It's the story of an interminable cohabitation. On June 2, 1997, two men who were complete opposites—their ideas, their history, their character—resolved to live together because the French wanted it that way. Between Jacques Chirac, the Pompidolian Gaullist, and Lionel Jospin, the socialist who came from Trotskyism, the current will never pass, despite the smiles of convenience. From the very beginning, the two men had in mind the upcoming meeting: beneath the appearance of a pleasant cohabitation, a merciless fight has been waged behind the scenes for five years, which foreshadows the electoral confrontation. Duel at the Summit tells the secret story of this guerrilla war between the Élysée Palace and Matignon, whose effects are only fully appreciated by the general public during major events.

Title : The Game of Love and Chance - Marivaux - book Summary : Marivaux's charm lies in a unique combination of cruelty and grace, sadness and gaiety. But marivaudage, which evokes banter, a love duel for laughs, a sentimental ballet, does not exist in any of his plays. Nothing is more precise, realistic, than his view of the intermittencies of the human heart and of love, of which he knows all the paths, all the mistakes, all the ruses. In truth, chance plays little role in this comedy where Silvia, to test the sincerity of her fiancé Dorante, pretends to be his servant Lisette, while Dorante does the same with his valet Harlequin. And here is love put to the test by mistrust, social prejudice, timidity, hesitation, smiles and tears. EAN: 9782266163774 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

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.
