Title : The Tales of the Green Rabbit - Benjamin Rabier - book Summary : Can you imagine a green rabbit? A yellow dog, a red pelican, a purple turtle?... Obviously. Benjamin Rabier already had the expert hand at giving animals a human expression. They lacked colors: so here is a rainbow zoo. Between 1926 and 1934, the children's illustrator published nine small volumes of stories, which Tallandier, Rabier's long-standing publisher, has selected here. The animals haven't aged a bit. Where we discover twenty-four hours in the life of a mole, the wriggling tail of a curious squirrel, the beak of a pelican as big as a cupboard... The moral of the story is that happiness is within reach. From one century to the next, children's expectations do not vary: the colorful farmyard, which gossips and multiplies big mischief, is an eternal schoolyard. And life, a vast meadow that one would like to cross without encountering a nasty viper. Rabier signs much more than a series of stories: the user manual for happy children.

Title : The Confessions - Books I to IV - Jean-Jacques Rousseau - book Summary : I am undertaking an undertaking which has never been preceded and whose execution will have no imitator. I want to show my fellow men a man in all the truth of nature; and that man will be me." In these first four books of his Confessions, Rousseau recounts his youth, from his birth (1712) until the age of 19 (1731). He recounts his difficult childhood in Geneva - he, the son of a modest watchmaker, motherless - and his flight to escape his environment; his travels; finally his providential meeting with Madame de Warens, an older woman with whom he immediately falls in love. It will be for him a new birth, and the entry into adulthood. More than thirty years later, Rousseau looks at Jean-Jacques. He recounts his childhood sorrows, his adolescent joys, confesses his petty thefts ("I was therefore a rascal"), relives his first romantic emotions, and plunges back into his dazzling discovery of reading, which saved him from boredom ("I did not choose: I read everything with equal avidity"). He makes, in in short, the assessment of his apprenticeship in life. In this extraordinary quest for an identity, a true novel of origins, Rousseau tells his story, Rousseau reinvents himself.

Title : The Colored Ones - Alexandre Jardin - book Summary Is it possible to live without adults? To say no to the reasonable and serious world of grown-ups? Listen instead. Once upon a time, there was an island in the Pacific where a people lived that no map has ever catalogued: the Coloreds. Turbulent, sincere, and gluttons for moments, they lived in a world without adults where childhood and play had become a culture in their own right. In 2003, ethnologist Hippolyte Le Play met Dafna, a young and ravishing representative of the Colored people, in Paris. Unpredictable, governed by her emotions and whimsical desires, this "big little girl" immediately overwhelmed him. But the Coloreds are not birds that can be easily tamed. And so Hippolyte found himself embarking on an unexpected chase that would take him far from home. With these Coloriés and their tender and mischievous fantasy, the author of Zubial and Zebra offers us his most disconcerting and funniest novel. A true invitation to rise to the exotic heights of childhood. EAN : 9782070308057 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo
