Title : Fixed Passion - Philippe Sollers - Book Summary : "I say fixed passion, because no matter how much I have changed, moved, contradicted myself, advanced, retreated, progressed, evolved, slipped, regressed, grown fat, thinned, aged, rejuvenated, stopped, started again, I have never followed, in short, anything but this passionate fixity. I want to say that it is she who lives me, dies me, uses me, shapes me, abandons me, takes me back, rolls me. I forget her, I remember her, I trust her, she makes her way through me. I am me when she is me. She envelops me, leaves me, advises me, abstains, absents herself, joins me. I am a fish in her water, a first name in her multiple name. She let me be born, she will know how to make me die." Philippe Sollers. EAN: 9782070749058 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : A Black Angel Passes - Anne Bragance - book Summary : She, fifteen years old and a few weeks. Me, not far from seventy-eight. I could be her grandfather or even her great-grandfather: a strange team that the two of us form. A week later, for the first time, I told her about the black boy and the wonderful gift I received from him, that a cappella singing that flowed from his throat like liquid gold. It was a primitive incantation, a melody where lament alternated with a kind of jubilant fervor, and these sounds flowed through my veins, through my bones, and I would have given anything for this joy that filled me to last forever. Every day, Andres Soriano, crippled with arthritis, sits on the bench in the bus shelter for line 15. That's where he meets Milush, the teenager with the funny name. The young girl and the old man start up a conversation. She lives alone with her mother; he nourishes the almost obsessive hope of finding the dark angel who once amazed him with her magnificent singing... Despite the disparity in their ages, the heavy family secrets, the fears and the sorrows, an extraordinary elective affinity will be revealed between the impertinent girl and the old man, who will gradually establish a beautiful bond and illuminate their lives.

Title : Passage to the enemy - Lydie Salvayre - book Summary : Inspector Arjona, appointed by General Intelligence to infiltrate a group of delinquents, is forced to write reports secrets to his supervisory minister. But two inopportune elements disrupt the writing of his writings: the abuse of hashish to which his bad habits force him acquaintances, and the overwhelming presence, in the observed group, of a young person named Dulcinea. And we will see, insidiously, the implacable and martial tone of the first reports soften, waver, become more friendly and disordered, until he completely turns around. And our inflexible agent of RG, to be won over, insidiously, to the delinquent cause, and more still to the love cause. This ironic metamorphosis gives Lydie Salvayre the opportunity to castigate with cheerful ferocity the supporters of a reinforced Order against those who, in a small way, threaten him.

Title : Not tonight, I'm having dinner with my father - Marion Ruggieri - book Summary : "My father belongs to that generation which, under the pretext that it was born after the war and in full progress, decided that its lifelong fight would be not to die. Not to die, therefore not to grow old. To stop time. At first, I thought he was the only one affected. And then I saw other specimens, I sometimes rubbed shoulders with them: the false young. At first I thought the syndrome only affected men his age, the eternal "baby boomers", then I realized that the next generation was worse. Already false young at forty. That's the problem. People don't want to die anymore. So they steal their children's lives. They are ogres." The ogre here is a father so youthful and seductive that he prefers to court girls younger than his own. He presents her with renewable nymphets with platform heels, while Marion, alias "big" (her nickname!), readily plays the role of a fifty-year-old lover battered by life. Beyond the social issue - fathers and their daughters, Western man prey to an obsession with youthfulness - Marion Ruggieri, while mocking herself as a perpetual teenager, has succeeded in writing a novel that borders on the miraculous: making us laugh at our manly failings and making us cry at such an endearing connection with our father. How can we grow up when our father remains forever the impossible Mr. Baby? At once modest and realistic, tender and cruel, autobiographical but universal, this first novel on the confusion of ages should be a great success with all audiences. Because alas! we are all concerned by this sentence: "The problem with parents today is that they never die. Or that we love them too much."

Title : Patagonia Express - Paul Theroux - book Summary : “I was studying the map when it occurred to me that there was a railroad line that ran from my home in Massachusetts to the great Patagonian plateau.” So Paul Theroux, one fine winter morning, set off. By subway, a few blocks from his Medford home to the Boston train station, then by train to mythical Patagonia, from the blizzard-battered slopes of Fitzwilliams to the dry, hot winds of the Pampas, from the lavish luxury cars to the pitiful squirrels. Sweating and shivering at the mercy of capricious altitudes and temperatures, having to put up with the dreadful Mr. Thorneberry in Costa Rica and spending nights reading to the blind writer Jorge Borges in Buenos Aires, meeting by chance at a stopover the exact copy of a fictional character from one of his previous novels... Paul Theroux, inventor of an original form in literature that combines travel and adventure, story and drama, takes the reader on a dizzying journey, one that leads "to the end of the line."
