Titre : Les choses de la vie - Paul Guimard - Livre Résumé : L'avocat Pierre Delhomeau est parti de Paris un matin au volant de sa MG pour aller plaider à Rennes. Tout en conduisant, il pense à son amie Hélène mais aussi à vingt autres choses appelées par une association d'idées, un air de musique, un parfum d'herbe mouillée. Sa voiture roule à 140 quand elle aborde le grand virage du lieu?dit La Providence. Au même moment, un poids lourd survient en sens inverse tandis qu'une bétaillère s'apprête à traverser la nationale, entame la manœuvre, hésite, repart et cale au milieu de la chaussée. C'est l'accident. Dix secondes se sont écoulées entre l'instant où la MG aborde le virage et celui où elle brûle. Dans la nuit de ses paupières qu'il ne se sent pas le courage de rouvrir, Pierre Delhomeau prend conscience du moment présent. Un présent qui n'a plus de futur, voilà le sens des paroles qu'il perçoit. Le temps de le nier, le temps d'y croire - c'est l'arrivée à l'hôpital dans un ultime dérapage de souvenirs, d'espoir et de regret de ces mille riens que sont les choses de la vie et qui la font si bonne à vivre. Tel est le thème de ce récit empreint de gravité légère et de sobriété, d'une poignante actualité. EAN : 9782070363155 Livre d'occasion petit prix pas cher Le livre correspond à la photo

Titre : Les choses - Georges Perec - Livre Résumé : Dans ce récit si simple et si uni qu'il convient d'en souligner l'originalité profonde, Georges Perec tente, le premier avec cette rigueur, de mettre au service d'une entreprise romanesque les enseignements de l'analyse sociologique.Il nous décrit la vie quotidienne d'un jeune couple d'aujourd'hui issu des classes moyennes, l'idée que ces jeunes gens se font du bonheur, les raisons pour lesquelles ce bonheur leur reste inaccessible - car il est lié aux choses que l'on acquiert, il est asservissement aux choses.« C'est qu'il y a, dira Georges Perec, entre les choses du monde moderne et le bonheur, un rapport obligé. Une certaine richesse de notre civilisation rend un type de bonheur possible : on peut parler, en ce sens, comme d'un bonheur d'0rly, des moquettes profondes, d'une figure actuelle du bonheur qui fait, je crois, que pour être heureux, il faut être absolument moderne. Ceux qui se sont imaginé que je condamnais la société de consommation n'ont vraiment rien compris à mon livre. Mais ce bonheur demeure un possible ; car, dans notre société capitaliste, c'est : choses promises ne sont pas choses dues. » EAN : 9782264024879 Livre d'occasion petit prix pas cher Le livre correspond à la photo

Title: The Christians - Volume 1 - The Soldier's Coat - Max Gallo - book Summary : In his new three-volume epic, Max Gallo recounts the birth of Christian France through three great figures: Martin, the first evangelist of Gaul; Clovis, converted barbarian, first great Christian king, who unified Gaul; Bernard, the great Cistercian founder who preached the Second Crusade. In the first part of this triptych, Julius and Antonius Galvinius, a tribune and his son, are at odds: supporters of two conflicting worlds, they attempt to convert each other, one to ancient tradition, the other to the new faith. They clash over the life of Saint Martin. Also torn between two worldviews, Martin chose to devote himself, in prayer and solitude, to his God. But this God decided otherwise: elected Bishop of Tours, Martin was called to convert and destroy pagan worship, armed with prayer and preaching. His discipline, the poverty of his subsistence, and the miracles he performed attracted a growing community around him, who soon recognized him as the first great Christian master. A worthy disciple of Martin, Antonius died a martyr after saving his father Julius from the hands of the barbarians. This sacrifice led the latter to replace him in his hermitage after rallying to the true faith. Martin, Clovis, Bernard: on these three foundation stones, Max Gallo recounts with strength and faith the birth of Christian France.
