Title : The Gentlemen of Grandval - Signol Christian - Book Summary : The Vines of Sainte-Colombe, What Men Live Through ... Christian Signol's sagas happily resurrect bygone eras and unforgettable characters. From the mid-19th century to the dawn of the 20th century, the novelist brings to life a small foundry on the borders of Périgord and Limousin, ruled by the Grandval dynasty. In the Auvézère valley, the forge master is passed down from father to son, and Fabien, the eldest, will succeed the patriarch Éloi, even at the cost of his happiness and his freedom. Forbidden loves, broken or fulfilled destinies, class struggle... Christian Signol weaves with a pen full of admiration and tenderness the destiny of the people of the castle and those who serve them, workers or peasants. This serious and gripping novel is also a magnificent tribute to these men of iron and fire driven by the passion of their charge, swept by the winds of History and progress.

Title : The Metamorphoses - Ovid - Book Summary : A monumental poem composed of fifteen books and twelve thousand verses, The Metamorphoses (1st century) recounts the mythical history of the world, from the original chaos to the reign of Augustus. Drawing on the treasures of Greek fables, Ovid sings of the miracle of the transformation of bodies and reveals the porosity of the boundaries between gods and men, land and sea, fauna and flora. The incestuous Myrrha transforms into a tree; the imprudent Actaeon transforms into a stag; the beautiful Narcissus becomes a flower... What does metamorphosis tell us? A true sublimation of divine and human beings, of animals and plants, it manifests the permanence of life in a world in perpetual movement.

Title : The Memoirs of Giorgione - Claude Chevreuil - book Summary : In September 1510, struck down at the height of his glory by the plague that was ravaging Venice, Giorgio da Castelfranco, known as Gorgione, returned to die in his native village. To his favorite student, he wrote a long letter in which he told everything about his life and his art. A solitary childhood on his parents' farm; entry into Bellini's Venetian studio; years of initiation into pictorial techniques, but also into music, books, love... And then he took flight, creating his own studio, and entering high society. We meet Dürer, Leonardo, Titian, his future rival. Venice, its splendors, its great families, its people, its courtesans form the backdrop for these abundant Memoirs, which shed light on artistic creation from the inside, and take us through new avenues into one of the most mysterious works of the Italian Renaissance.

Title : Les Maia - Eça de Queiroz - book Summary : Jorge Luis Borges considered Eça de Queiroz "one of the greatest writers of all time": The Maias, published in 1888, is undoubtedly his masterpiece. It belongs to the genre of "cyclical" novels, which follow the fate of not only one person, but also of a family, thus preceding Thomas's Buddenbrooks. The crux of the action is a sulphurous love story in the romantic style, but the great interest of the story lies elsewhere: in the depiction of a decadent bourgeois society; in the evocation of the city of Lisbon that the hero, Carlos de Maia, explores, from the street of the "Janelas Verdes" to Chiado; finally in the character of Ega, a typical cultured, hyper-conscious, cosmopolitan Portuguese, inclined to denigrate his country to which he is deeply attached – like Eça himself. At once the story of a fatal passion, an objective portrayal of morals and a virulent satire, this book, whose rhythm recalls English novels in its style that is at once luminous, tender and ironic, has immortalized Lisbon in literature.

Title : The Masters of Light - Jacques Anquetil - book Summary : Rouen, 1850. Young Jacques Angot, initiated by his father into the art of stained glass and its symbolic language, became a master glassmaker. An avant-garde spirit, he began creating stained-glass windows whose only colored vibrations were an opening onto divine light. His father, the beautiful Béatrice, his friend Flaubert and then Claude Monet supported Jacques in this quest for the impossible: capturing fleeting light. When his designs for the stained-glass windows of Mont-Saint-Michel are rejected as too modern, everything falls apart. And the successive deaths of his loved ones plunge him into great distress, which distances him from God. But when a Benedictine priest entrusts him with the creation of the stained-glass windows of a Romanesque abbey located near Rouen, the master can finally realize his dream and rediscover his faith... With sensitivity and passion, Jacques Anquetil takes us into the fascinating and little-known world of glass artisans who, for centuries, have combined art, poetry, and homage to the divine.
