Title : A Year in Provence - Peter Mayle - book Summary : "The year began with lunch. By half past twelve, the small restaurant was full. There were a few serious diners to admire: entire families with that plumpness one acquires from spending two or three hours a day at the table, their eyes fixed on the plate and conversations postponed. The restaurant's owner, a man who, despite his girth, had perfected the art of twirling in his establishment, had donned the appropriate attire: a velvet smoking jacket and bow tie. His pomaded mustache quivered with enthusiasm as he recited the menu like one intoning a rhapsody: it was a gastronomic aria that he attacked at each table, kissing his fingertips with such enthusiasm that his lips must have been chapped. During lunch, my wife and I thought of previous New Year's Days, passed under the impenetrable clouds of the English sky. It was difficult to associate it with January 1st. the bright sun and the indigo blue sky. Yet everyone kept telling us: it was absolutely normal. After all, we were in Provence..."

Title : A Friendship of Yesteryear - Alain-Fournier, Jacques Rivière - book Summary : They are two young people from their province. One is from Berry, Henri Fournier, who in 1913, under the pseudonym Alain-Fournier, will sign his first novel Le Grand Meaulnes, a book that has now become a myth. The other is Jacques Rivière. He comes from the Gironde and will become the director of the prestigious Nouvelle Revue française, founded by André Gide, to which he will sacrifice his personal work. They are seventeen years old in 1903. Their friendship was born from a reading of the poet Henri de Régnier, which brought to a peak a shared love of literature and art. They will quickly abandon their studies to roam the bookstores, museums, concert halls, and streets of Paris, "the heart of the world." Their correspondence is a living picture of their personal history and that of the world that surrounds them with the abundant riches that overflowed their era. The letters are grouped by themes that evoke the highlights of their friendship: books, England, Gide, holidays, the war... where Alain-Fournier died on September 22, 1914 at the age of twenty-eight.

Title : A Brief History of the Future - Jacques Attali - book Summary : Jacques Attali tells the incredible story of the next fifty years, as we can imagine them based on everything we know about history and science. He reveals how relationships between nations will evolve and how demographic upheavals, population movements, changes in work, new forms of the market, terrorism, violence, climate change, and the growing influence of religion will disrupt our daily lives. It also reveals how astonishing technological advances will revolutionize work, leisure, education, health, cultures and political systems; how walls today considered scandalous will one day be accepted. Finally, it shows that it would be possible to move towards abundance, to eliminate poverty, to allow everyone to benefit equally from the advantages of technology and the commercial imagination, to preserve freedom from one's own excesses as well as from one's enemies, to leave future generations a better protected environment, to give birth, from all the wisdom of the world, to new ways of living and creating together.

Title : A Human Comedy - William Saroyan - book Summary : Although the Macauleys are not just another family, their daily life in the small Californian town of Ithaca during World War II is that of the entire nation. In the absence of the recently deceased father and the eldest son Marcus, who has gone to the army, Homer must ensure the family's survival by delivering telegrams home. It is often through him, this "angel of death," that the war comes to Ithaca, for he is responsible for delivering the most dreaded news...
