Title : Why do you dance when you walk? - Abdourahman A. Waberi - Book Summary : One morning, on the way to nursery school in Paris, a little girl asks her father: "Tell me, Dad, why do you dance when you walk?" The question is innocent and serious. Why does her father limp, why doesn't he ride a bike, a scooter...? The father can't avoid it. He must tell what happened to his leg, reawaken the memories, return to Djibouti, to the Château d'eau district, to the land of his childhood. In this country of light and dust, where illness, first fevers and then this leg that wouldn't hold up any longer, made him different, unique. He was the "skinny one" and the "runt" but also the best student in school, the favorite of Madame Annick, his teacher from France, an insatiable reader, the king of essays. Abdourahman Waberi remembers the shifting desert of Djibouti, the Red Sea, Siesta beach, the aluminum sheet houses of his neighborhood, his immense solitude and the figures who marked him forever: Papa-la-Tige who sold trinkets to tourists, his mother Zahra, trembling, hard, silent, his grandmother nicknamed Cochise in homage to the Indian chief because she ruled the family, the good Ladane, with whom he was secretly in love. He recounts the drama, the moment that turned everything upside down, the fight he engaged in afterwards and which made him a man who knows the price of poetry, of silence, of freedom, a man who always dances. " Why Do You Dance When You Walk? " offers a lesson: how not to be subjected to the walk of others and how to choose to dance on the thread of one's own life. Young Africa – Anne Bocandé  "Waberi exorcises at once many years of "ancient fear" linked to the gaze of others." Humanity – Muriel Steinmetz “The moving confession of a father who explains his disability to his daughter” Le Figaro - Mohammed Aïssaoui “This beautiful dance lesson between a father and his daughter shows that literature is also an art of transmission.” Le Figaro - Mohammed Aïssaoui EAN: 9782709665568 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : Why be happy when you can be normal? - Jeanette Winterson - Book Summary : Life: A User's Guide “I’ve been wrestling with my bare hands most of my life. […] I’m an ambitious writer. I’ve been trying to escape the idea that women always write about “experience”—within the bounds of what they know—unlike men, who write about the big and bold. Why should a woman be restricted to anything by anyone?” In Why be happy when you can be normal? released in England a few months ago, the character is no longer one. It's the author, Jeanette Winterson. She writes without embellishment the "true novel" of a life: the mystical rigor of a narrow-minded adoptive mother, England in the 1960s, the demons of depression. How does one become a writer when one was destined to enter the clergy? Winterson tells us about her extraordinary journey. In a house forbidden to books, she nevertheless knew how to nourish and preserve the omnipotence of the imagination. This exceptional text is above all the story of a quest for identity, that of Jeanette and, through her, of all the women engaged in the battle for their freedom. Mothers, lovers, friends, writers, role models, adored or hated, Winterson pays homage to them in this memoir of a young girl from the Manchester working class.

Title : So that the world may bloom again - Irène Frain - book Summary : Two women talk. The "little mother of Tibet" meets the author of The Nabob!

Title : For your gifts - Jean Rouaud - book Summary : She will not read these lines, our survivor of the Nantes bombings, the young widow of the day after Christmas, who crossed three books on her small heels, leaving in her wake only the scent of a lady in black. Even if her life was not reduced to this sad silhouette, understand, it was impossible for me to write under her gaze. This pinched air by which her discontent was manifested, I had had to confront it for having revived, despite the prudence of a Sioux, a fifty-year-old romantic rivalry over a man who had been dead for thirty. Now that she reigned in her store and her great mocking laugh burst out, I was not going to spoil her belated triumph. EAN : 9782707316271 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : Portraits of Women - Pietro Citati - book Summary : An outstanding portraitist, Pietro Citati always tunes his "inner metronome" to the rhythm of the artist or writer whose life and work he recounts. The intrepid acuity of his gaze, the finesse of his analysis, the vivacity of his narrative, the elegance of his line, and the charm of his expression characterize his Portraits of Women. It is in all the fullness of their presence that Pietro Citati brings to life before us Saint Teresa of Avila, Jane Austen, Lou Andreas-Salomé, Virginia Woolf, Katherine Mansfield, Marina Tsvetaeva, Karen Blixen, Simone Weil, Flannery O'Connor, Cristina Campo, Anna Maria Ortese, Ingeborg Bachmann... In many of these women's lives, in the books written by these women, literature has perhaps reached its extreme tragic possibilities. Spiritual concentration, courage of intelligence, firmness of mind, despair, fire, fury, the dream of the pure soul culminate in these female figures who lead us from the Middle Ages to the end of the 20th century. One has the impression that the fate and anguish they had to bear was of considerable weight. But as one of them declared: "I am firmly convinced that life is beautiful, rich, and great; yes, I would be convinced of it even if I had to die of the plague in a dung pit."
