Title : Aurore's Diary - Volume 1 - Never Happy - Marie Desplechin - book Summary : February 12th. You can ruin your life in less than ten seconds. I know it. I just did it. Right there, right now. I arrive at the door of the building, a modest baguette in one hand and the modest change in the other, when Nameless-Wonder appears in front of me. Unexpectedly. Less than two inches away (he's leaving and I'm about to enter, we almost smash our heads together, forehead to forehead). He calmly fixes his sublime eyes on me. I lower mine immediately, which is to say I practically throw them underground, deep down, between the sewer pipe and the gas pipe. His friendly voice echoes in the evening air: - Hey! Aurore! Are you okay? I stand there with my mouth open for about two million seconds, before making up my mind and yelling in his face: - There! Thank you!

Title : The Day of the Bees - Thomas Sanchez - book Summary : In The Day of the Bees, Thomas Sanchez evokes the violence of despair and the elegiac grandeur of two lives transformed by love and exile. An American art history professor travels to Europe to discover why a famous Spanish painter abandoned this beautiful French woman, who was none other than his muse, in Provence during the Second World War. He thus accidentally unearths a secret buried for half a century: this carefully preserved oath, this spell tinged with eroticism that has resisted everything, even death. Two lovers caught in the infernal machine of history, whose universe implodes under the ferocity of their passion, while at the same time the outside world explodes under the blow of global war. Exploring both occupied France, the stories of the resistance fighters fighting in the shadows, and the painter's contemporary retreat on the island of Majorca, the American professor uncovers a passionate love affair that cannot be separated from art and politics. He finds himself at the heart of a mystery that forces him to probe the enigma of his own desire, from which it emerges that History is written as much by those who love as by those who fight.

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 : The Angel's Game - Carlos Ruiz Zafón - book Summary : "I will take you to a secret place where books never die and no one can destroy them..." Barcelona, ​​1920s. Seventeen-year-old David Martin works at the newspaper. La Voz de la Industria. His life is turned upside down one evening during a crisis at the newspaper: a replacement for the Sunday soap opera writer must be urgently found. On the advice of Pedro Vidal, a part-time columnist, David is chosen. His soap opera is a huge success, and for the first time, David is paid for what he loves most in the world: writing. At the height of his success, David accepts an offer from two unscrupulous publishers: to produce serials at a frenetic pace under a pseudonym. But after a few years, exhausted, David gives up. His publishers then give him nine months to write his own novel. It, shunned by critics and scuttled by editors, is a failure. David is all the more desperate because the young woman he has always loved—and to whom the book is secretly dedicated—is about to marry Pedro Vidal. His bookseller friend, Sempere, chooses this moment to take him to the Cemetery of Forgotten Books, where David deposits his. Then comes an extraordinary offer: a Parisian publisher, Corelli, offers him, for one hundred thousand francs, a fortune, to create a founding text, a sort of new Bible, "a story for which men would be capable of living and dying, of killing and being killed, of offering their souls." From the day he accepts this contract, a strange murderous process begins around David. By selling his freedom as a writer, has he sold his soul to the devil? Terrified and fascinated, David launches an investigation into this curious publisher, whose powers seem to transcend time and space.

At twenty-one, after many years of searching, she will find her father and her country.
