Title : The Name of the Rose - Umberto Eco - Book Summary : In the year of grace and disgrace 1327, all is well in Christendom. Bands of heretics roam the kingdoms. When William of Baskerville, accompanied by his secretary, arrives in the haven of serenity and neutrality that is the abbey located between Provence and Liguria – admired throughout the West for the knowledge of its monks and the richness of its library – he is immediately put to work by the abbot. The day before, a monk threw himself from the top of the walls. It is the first of the assassinations that will be punctuated by the canonical hours of monastic life. Crimes, debauchery, vice, heresy, all will occur in the space of seven days. In its amusing form of detective novel and clever form of erudite riddle, a vibrant plea for freedom, for moderation, for wisdom, threatened on all sides by the forces of unreason and darkness. Dominique Fernandez, L'Express.

Title : The New Love - Philippe Forest - book Summary : It seems that love is not the great affair in the existence of men, that they do not grow up thinking that there is before them this maddening thing, this worry of belonging to someone else where all the possible meaning of their life lies. It seems that such fables are the exclusive affair of women. That they alone calculate everything of their time in view of the love that will come. I do not know. It seems to me that I always thought that love was waiting for me, that I was going to meet it, and that if by misfortune I missed it, I would have missed everything with it. That there was basically nothing else to expect from life. Nothing else, yes, except love. And as a poet writes, all the rest is dead leaves to me." Philippe Forest recounts the strange effervescence of love that comes to those whose existence survives grief, and probes, with rare integrity and intelligence, the birth of a new love.

Title : The Naive Man Under the Flag - Paul Guth - book Summary : What an astonishing character, this Naïf! [...] Laughter bursts forth from every scene. But make no mistake! Paul Guth has introduced a new style into our literature where humor vies with poetry. Through his skill in handling the singular trait, through his precision as an observer who walks through life with a jeweler's eye, through a certain shamelessness of innocence in the description of bodies and in the analysis of love, Paul Guth has done more than compose a book; he has created a character: The Naive. His Naïf now enjoys the privilege of being fascinating simply because his personal vision of the world constantly surprises and moves us. The Naive is to Paul Guth what Charlot is to Charlie Chaplin.

Title : The Summer Palace - Serge Velay - book Summary : At the end of the 1970s, Serge Velay, a young philosophy professor with a passion for literature, met Jean Carrière (1928-2005), a decorated novelist who won the Prix Goncourt in 1972 for Maheux's L'Epervier. Nearly three decades of friendship and fruitful complicity followed. The Summer Palace brings together two sets of fragments composed ten years apart (2005 and 2015), in memory of the late writer. This album is, all at once, the modest chronicle of a mourning, a loving portrait of the artist, and a fervent eulogy to literature and music. "I will probably be criticized for the disjointed nature of these pages," writes Serge Velay, "but I didn't want to squeeze my friend into a book like someone puts him in a tomb. To let his words resonate, I wanted to create a house of words open to the four winds, in a setting that would have all the appearances of disorder." » We will therefore read this book as it was written, following “the butterfly rule”: at random – and at the risk of getting lost in the vicinity of “true literature”.

Title : Bread of the Sea - Joël Raguenes - book Summary : "Joël Raguénès delivers here a superb saga which allows us to discover the islands of Ponant and the coast of Léon so wild and so beautiful. It is written with efficiency but also with the poetry essential to this region, in which the harshness of the people and places implied generosity and courage." Christian Signol 1923. Gwen-Aël Kernéis is twenty-eight years old and is finishing her studies in Paris, while taking over the management of the family iodine business in Le Conquet that François, her father, had left her two years earlier. His meeting with Viviane and then an accident at the factory will turn his life upside down. Faced with all kinds of difficulties, he realizes that he is not alone; his father and his friend Yves Kerléo, the former king of sea bread, are only too happy to help him restart the factory and fight the decline of the iodine industry. Gwen-Aël and Viviane, along with their loved ones, Karl, Julia, Aurélie, and Jean-Yves, love each other, get married, have children, suffer, work, and have fun, like their parents, and like, again, all those who share with them this epic tale of iodine and kelp. All will be caught up in the turmoil of an era that—the madness of some, the cowardice of others—leads them, inexorably, toward an announced war.

Title : The Palace of Books - Roger Grenier - book Summary : By taking somewhat unconventional paths, for example by looking at what place writers give to news items, to the delights and pangs of waiting, to the temptation of the unfinished, to the relationship between private life and writing, to the way of writing about love, these essays quite naturally adopt Baudelaire's claim on the right to contradict oneself. And they lead to two questions: What is writing? Is writing a reason for living? Both, as one might expect, can only remain unanswered.
