Title : Religious Recipes. Earthly and Spiritual Nourishments - Dominique Prédali - book Summary : An original compilation of gastronomic recipes whose richness and variety were passed down to us by the monks of convents and monasteries. In the Middle Ages, food was linked to specific values ​​with the alternation of periods of fasting and celebrations, marked by jubilation and abundance. And if the holiday cuisine is rich and varied, it is above all in the cooking of lean meats that the monks excelled. They then deployed treasures of cunning and imagination to compensate for the limited number of available products with great skill in cooking. This work addresses not only the symbolism of many holidays such as Christmas, Epiphany, Candlemas, Carnival, Lent, Easter, but also that of popular beliefs such as Eating to ward off evil, The fires of hell, Sins and virtues, etc. For each section, the author explains the origin of the customs that gave rise to the recipes. She also evokes the symbolism of foods as well as the importance of grain and bread. EAN: 9782909206370 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : Ravel - Jean Echenoz - book Summary : Ravel was as tall as a jockey, and therefore like Faulkner. His body was so light that in 1914, eager to enlist, he tried to persuade the military authorities that such a weight would be ideal for aviation. This enlistment was refused, and he was exempted from any obligation, but as he insisted, he was assigned, without a hint of humor, to driving heavy goods vehicles. Thus, one day, one saw, driving down the Champs-Élysées, an enormous military truck containing a small figure in an oversized blue greatcoat, clinging as best he could to a steering wheel that was too big. (JE) This novel traces the last ten years of the life of the French composer Maurice Ravel (1875-1937). EAN : 9782707319302 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : Rachel-Rose and the Arab Officer - Paula Jacques - book Summary : The moment the Suez War ended, it was no longer the war but the peace that became terrible. Immediately after the expulsion of French and English nationals, the Jews found themselves, in turn, suspected of imperialism, Zionism, communism, or all three at once. The result, in all cases: arrest, imprisonment, theft of property, and, as a last resort, banishment. For his part, Salomon Cohen still cherished the hope of escape. He had Egyptian nationality. He had never subscribed to any political ideology, that good joke (...). He even considered it a sin to believe that an earthly power was capable of thwarting the designs of divine Providence. Cairo, 1957. Salomon, a prosperous bourgeois, refused to respond to a summons from the Mukhabarat, the Egyptian intelligence service. One night, a police officer shows up at the Cohens' house with a warrant; in reality, he has a personal score to settle with this family where, once, her mother served as a domestic. Rachel-Rose, the eldest daughter, opens the door. She is in her nightie, as if naked under the gaze of the Arab officer. Aware of the trouble he has caused the young girl, the officer Fouad Barkouk will play on her ardent naiveté to punish her mother's former employers. By seducing the teenager, by making her fall under his sexual and emotional dependence, Fouad believes he has satisfied his revenge... With this story of a first love in the arms of the enemy - a metaphor for the eternal war of possession -, Paula Jacques catches us where we least expect it: it is a true psychological thriller that she offers us, with the Egypt of the cosmopolitan years as a backdrop, this original land that marks all her work.
