Title: Perceval or the Romance of the Grail - Chrétien de Troyes - book Summary : Perceval is first and foremost a coming-of-age novel. The hero is a young nobleman raised by his mother away from society and ignorant of chivalry. For he is the last son, he whose brothers, knights, died in combat, followed by their father, who died of grief. Perceval is therefore naive: he does not know the customs, is surprised by everything, speaks at random, and acts with a spontaneity that borders on insolence. Attracted by the beauty of the weapons of the knights he meets, he decides, against his mother's advice, to become a knight. From then on, he is ordered to behave himself and to ask no more questions. And when the Grail passes before his eyes, he does not dare question the young girls who carry it... This Romance of the Grail, written in the 12th century and interrupted by the author's death, is thus an anti-novel of chivalry. The traditional quest for love is not the driving force: it is rather a quest for self. The hero is the chosen one in spite of himself: the one who could conquer the Grail but ignores it. Between speech and silence, mystical experience and guilt, the story of this young wild knight has given rise to numerous interpretations, notably psychoanalytic. It is also a great, marvelous tale, with sober and powerful lyricism, where astonishment and laughter are never far away, faced with a hero ill-adapted to the world that is his, and soon ours.

Title : Thoughts - Blaise Pascal - book Summary : This edition of the Pensées aims to be as faithful as possible to Pascal's intentions, in particular by establishing the text, entirely reread from the manuscript, and by the notes. These present, by quoting them in extenso, which is an original feature of this edition, the entirety of the readings on which Pascal's reflection is based. The Pensées are not a posthumous book, they are the papers of a dead man, of a man who knows and who believes at the moment when death interrupts the Apology of the Christian religion. To say what this man was, such is the meaning of Michel Le Guern's edition which was crowned by the Critical Edition Prize.

Title : Pedro Páramo - Juan Rulfo - book Summary : It was first read as a "rural" and "peasant" novel, or even as an example of the best "indigenous" literature. In the sixties and seventies, it became a great "Mexican" novel, and then "Latin American." Today, it is said that Pedro Páramo is, quite simply, one of the greatest works of the 20th century, a contemporary classic that critics often compare to Kafka's The Castle and Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury. And for good reason: no one comes out of reading Pedro Páramo unscathed. Like Kafka and Faulkner, Rulfo has managed to stage a fascinating, timeless story of rare beauty: the quest for the father that leads Juan Preciado to Cómala and to meet his destiny, a dizzying journey narrated by a chorus of unusual characters who give us a voice deep in Mexico, beyond the boundaries between memory and oblivion, past and present, the dead and the living. Fifty years after its publication, here at last, according to the original manuscript, is Juan Rulfo's great novel as the author dreamed and conceived it.

These circumstances are unusual: he looks twelve or thirteen years old, but in reality, he will not be born for another five years!

He will attend the wedding of Paulette, a widow with nine children, and Roger, a Martinican from Tarbes, seven years his junior. He will tremble for this "P'pa" thrown into the adventure of the Resistance. And this boy in short pants will show us the Occupation and the war as we have never seen them before...
