Title: My 153rd victory 12 Coups de midi - Paul El Kharrat - book Summary : My Asperger's brain absorbs everything, gorges itself on food and information, and in return offers me exceptional memory skills and a glaring inadequacy to the society around me. It is my strength, and my handicap. I am in real life as I was seen on screen, a twenty-one-year-old alien.  When Paul, a nineteen-year-old history student, walks through the doors of the Douze coups de midi recording studio , he is determined: to win, to overcome his fears, to make his voice heard. But he is a million miles from imagining the scale of his success. In the space of a few weeks, Paul would film more than 150 shows alongside Jean-Luc Reichmann, winning the public's support and nearly €700,000 thanks to his incredible intelligence. An impressive victory, inconceivable for someone who was not predestined for such media exposure. Indeed, Paul was diagnosed with Asperger's autism. It's his disability, something that defines him but cannot diminish him. He has made this difference his strength. With dry humor and extraordinary sensitivity, Paul shares his story: his television adventure, but also the daily life of a young man like no other. A moving account that sheds light on a little-known syndrome. EAN: 9791033907213 Used book at low prices The book matches the photo See the different states

Title: Scarlet Moon - Rolo Díez - book Summary : In her two-room apartment in the heart of Mexico City, Scarlett is ready to become a princess. From the cradle, her mother burned her eyes reading her society columns and making her dresses to match her ambitions. But Prince Charming is slow to declare himself. While waiting for him, Scarlett is forced to work and use her charms to make ends meet. For his part, dogged by misfortune, Julio César burns his friends under bridges, wanders from prison to prison, listens to the drunken ravings of a Bukowski emulator, shares his life with a tramp, when he's not working for the police or pushing children under the wheels of trucks in his role as defender of the law. Whether we pursue an absurd dream or drift from chance to crime, we are doomed if we cannot decipher the messages of the moon, a moon stained with blood by the exactions of a gang of cops as sadistic as they are perverse. Rolo Díez, the former activist, has a formidable talent for pointing out the brutality of the god Liberalism. His condition as an exile has taught him to shift his gaze to see better. In the purest tradition of Greek tragedy, Scarlet Moon offers a particularly lucid picture of Mexico in the 90s. In this seventh novel, Rolo Díez confirms his art of reconciling darkness and humanism. EAN : 9782070743513 Used book at low prices The book matches the photo See the different states

Title : Lunar Park - Bret Easton Ellis - Book Summary : Five years after the dazzling Glamorama, Bret Easton Ellis changes register and takes the stage to become the central character of Lunar Park. We remember the decadent characters Patrick Bateman (American Psycho) and Victor Ward (Glamorama), the artificial paradises, the glory and the violence that were at the heart of their experiences. As if to dismiss a sulphurous reputation, mixing his own memories, his demons and the characters who populate his previous texts, Ellis decides with Lunar Park to play himself as a married man, father of a family, living on a huge estate in Midland County. Ultimately, a bourgeois life divided between the shopping center on Saturday afternoons, sessions with a couples therapist, and dinners with neighbors. A comic twist that turns into a nightmare. The narrator, Bret Easton Ellis, thinks that Proust's madeleines are tangerines, that his house on Elsinore Lane is haunted, that the specter is his dead father and perhaps also the murderous hero of American Psycho, that he must rediscover the simplicity of the sentences of his first novel... A hallucinatory and jubilant dream that mixes autobiography and astonishing visions: Bret Easton Ellis plays with humor and virtuosity on the myth of the writer to write a powerful and masterfully controlled novel. Lunar Park appears almost simultaneously in the United States, England and France. The author will be present in France at the time of the book's release. EAN: 9782221104118 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : My wife of your life - Carla Guelfenbein - book Summary : They are two friends, young, handsome, idealistic, and desperate as one can be at twenty, brought together in London in the 1980s. To the rhythm of the captivating melodies of Joan Baez or Bob Marley, they remake the world in the pubs of Soho, and a handful of convictions seem enough to decide their lives. Between Théo, an English sociology student, and Antonio, basking in the glory of his Chilean exile, the attraction is immediate. The political commitment of one in the resistance forces against the dictatorship exacerbates the thirst for freedom of the other - a freedom bridled by the austere Thatcher years. They are brothers in arms, who have sworn loyalty to each other for life and death. The irruption of the beautiful Clara will overcome their promise. To win her love, they betray each other. Fifteen years of silence ensue; Théo chases after his illusions. A war correspondent, he travels through refugee camps and devastated cities when, one day, Antonio, now Clara's husband, invites him to Chile to bring him face to face with the woman of his life again.

Title : Light - Eva Figes - book Summary : Lumière is an invitation to experience a day in the life of Claude Monet at the beginning of the century. From dawn to dusk, we see the painter's world come into being, followed by the awakening of the familiar and intimate characters who inhabit Monet's house: Alice, his second wife; Germaine, who would like to marry Pierre Sisley; Marthe, the daughter who agrees to an unexpected marriage with her American brother-in-law to raise Monet's motherless grandchildren, Jimmy and Lily; and Michel Monet, one of the painter's sons, strangely melancholic. Their appearance, in a novel where moments of consciousness alternate with superb descriptive passages, is reminiscent of the art of Virginia Woolf. For it is indeed art—executed in nature in this unique garden—and the ephemeral aspect of things that constitute the themes of Eva Figes's novel, hailed in England as a masterpiece.

Title : Madame Bâ - Erik Orsenna - book Summary : Madame Bâ Marguerite was born on August 10, 1947, in Medina (Mali), on the banks of the Senegal River. The daughter of Ousmane, a blacksmith and assistant director of the waterfall, and Mariama, a "traditionist," meaning a scholar of all things from the past, Madame Bâ loves knowledge. To find her favorite grandson, who disappeared in France, swallowed by the football ogre, she applies for a visa. It is refused. So she addresses the President of the French Republic. One by one, she scrupulously answers all the questions posed by the official form 13-0021. But no one has ever been able to confine Madame Bâ to a framework. Name, first names, place of birth? Madame Bâ tells of her childhood filled with wonder by the river, of a father's love, of learning about birds? Family situation? Madame Bâ recounts her sumptuous and painful passion for a too-handsome Fulani husband. Children? Madame Bâ tells her eight children about this strange "compass disease" that affects them? Without embellishment or complacency, Madame Bâ recounts today's Africa, its violence, its shattered dreams, its mafias. But also its eternal riches of solidarity, this formidable weaving between human beings. Madame Bâ is first and foremost that: the portrait of a woman. An African woman, that is to say, a woman who, more than any other woman, must fight for her dignity and her freedom. Fifteen years after the Colonial Exhibition , I set out again to explore France's relations with its former empire. But this time, it's the South that's looking at us.
