Title : The Italians - François Cavanna - Book Summary : Cazes Brasserie Lipp Prize 1979 Even his black box—regarding his childhood memories between the ages of six and sixteen—is full of funny, moving things, overflowing with affection and joy. Is there a book about childhood that rings truer than this one? Bernard Pivot, Read. Finally, there is, throughout these pages, Cavanna's tone. Readers of Charlie Hebdo will recognize it, of course, but they may be surprised to discover so much tenderness in it. With the counterpoint of melancholic music to the most hilarious stories, and burlesque echoes to the most poignant stories. Rosa Laisné, The Express. Cavanna, with his familiar, smooth-talking tone, describes his early years in a disjointed way, recalling in bulk the best moments of his life before the age of sixteen, at a rather joyful time despite the war looming on the horizon. Jean-Claude Lamy, France-Soir. EAN: 9782253024637 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : Meetings of the Days - 1992-1993 - Claude Roy - book Summary : Every two or three years I pour the contents of the accumulated files onto the large table: journal pages, travel journals, portraits, nascent poems, unpublished texts, edited articles, notes and jot-downs, clippings, etc. I sort, I sniff, I smell, I cut, I eliminate, throw into the fire. This time, I pinned down a few ideas caught on the fly, eight or ten memories worth remembering, and a few sketches I want to finish. I still kept a few hypotheses about the world as it is not, a few observations about my cat who goes where he wants, a few reading notes on books I love and would like others to love, the smells of the forest in autumn, dives into my inner space, and a few passages on the agitated surface of this planet. I sprinkled the whole thing with a few white pebbles taken from my notebooks, those minimals that I would find pretentious to call maxims. And here is the "logbook" 1992-1993: an old Persian from the 1300s gave me the title." Claude Roy. EAN: 9782070400737 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : The Rats - Bernard Frank - book Summary : Thanks to this reprint, thousands of readers will now enter the dream, enjoy the author's never-failing intelligence, imagine themselves as Bourrieu or Ponchard, meet Sartre, get drunk at Gallimard... A book of extraordinary impudence, health, violence, and strength. It is a marvelously written novel. The serious dialogue is hilarious. The false naivety hits the mark. Insolence creeps in insidiously, casually, but stupidity, pettiness, and cowardice do not recover. It is also a tenderness that we did not know Frank had. Bourrieu, Weil, and the other characters in The Rats are burning to write something immortal. In the meantime, they place themselves in the press, dine out, parasitize, and flirt. The Rats was written when they were less than twenty-four years old. There is a stunning breath, culture and maturity evident there.

Title : The Rebels - CHABROL Jean-Pierre - book Summary : After a youth in the Cévennes that should have been crowned by brilliant studies, Jean-Pierre Chabrol finds himself gripped by History. A resistance fighter, a communist by circumstance then by conviction, a cartoonist and journalist before becoming a writer, Jean-Pierre Chabrol takes us on a thrilling, colorful, and also tragic life. This "novelist in History," whose life is shaped by the 20th century, is above all a champion of revolt. He says it himself: to outrage, to outrage, to go beyond, beyond, beyond measure... words that I love and that could sum me up entirely. Through the reading of the entirety of a work that remains largely unknown, Michel Boissard achieves the feat of restoring a life through its four seasons: that of the resistance fighter, founding; that of the Communard, a communist commitment that will clash with Stalinist crimes; that of the Camisard, which will cause Jean-Pierre Chabrol to miss out on the Goncourt prize due to a historical misunderstanding. The Cévnol season, encompassing all the others, reminds us, in the words of André Chamson, that the universal finds its source in the roots of each one. Jean-Pierre Chabrol defined his "country" thus: The Cévennes is a confidence. EAN : 9782917743362 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo
