Title : Winter Suns - Notebooks 1998 - 2000 - Jean Daniel - book Summary : The winter sun has always been a promise for me, for some time now my preference has been for convalescences, for escapes from hell, for promises of light in the rain, for children laughing through their tears, for the looks of the seriously injured person who is suddenly miraculously cured, for the irreplaceable doctor who dies while signaling to you that nothing is wrong and to whom you close your eyes, feeling indeed reassured. Gide discovering late in life that his youth was covered with wrinkles assiduously traced by his parents and that at the very moment of his old age, it is his true youth that is about to begin.

Title : Six Moral Tales - Eric Rohmer - book Summary : Why film a story when you can write it? Why write it when you're going to film it? This double question is only seemingly idle. It came to me very specifically. The idea for these tales came to me at an age when I didn't yet know if I would be a filmmaker. If I made films of them, it's because I didn't succeed in making them write . And if, in a certain way, it is true that I wrote them – in the very form in which we will read them – it is only to be able to film them. These texts, therefore, are not "taken" from my films. They precede them in time, but I wanted them from the outset to be something other than "scenarios". This is why any reference to a cinematographic staging is absent. They had, from the first draft, a resolutely literary appearance. » Éric Rohmer. Six moral tales: The Baker of Monceau (1962), Suzanne's Career (1963), The Collector (1967), My night at Maud's (1969), Claire's Knee (1970), Love in the Afternoon (1972).

Title: Silk - Alessandro Baricco - 2009 - book Summary : Around 1860, to save silkworm farms contaminated by an epidemic, Hervé Joncour undertook four expeditions to Japan to purchase healthy eggs. Between the Vivarais Mountains and Japan, it is the clash of two worlds, a story of love and war, a marvelous alchemy that weaves the novel with impalpable threads. Long and dangerous journeys, impossible loves that continue without ever having begun, characters of desire and passion, the velvet of a voice, the sanctification of a magnificent and sensual fabric, and the slowness, the slowness of the seasons and immutable time. Silk, published in Italy in 1996 and in France in 1997, became a cult novel in just a few months - a deserved success for the most refined of young Italian writers.
