Title : Talking to Children Correctly - Françoise Dolto - book Summary : In these previously unpublished interviews, conducted between 1977 and 1988, Françoise Dolto explains, using everyday situations, the importance of speaking accurately to children about their perceptions, because "putting words to what we feel, whether in tenderness or in hatred, that is what is human." On all the themes she addresses in these texts - sex education, relationships between children and grandparents, gifts, the sense of the sacred, or communicating with a deaf child - Françoise Dolto emphasizes the need to "speak accurately to children because they feel accurately." And when the truth is painful for the parents themselves, "you must always say something that is on the path to the truth."

Title : Without blood - Alessandro Baricco - book Summary : In the countryside, Mato Rujo's old farmhouse remained blind, sculpted in black against the twilight light. The only stain in the hollow profile of the plain. The four men arrived in an old Mercedes. The road was dry and potholed—a poor country road. From the farmhouse, Manuel Roca saw them. He approached the window. First he saw the column of dust rising above the row of corn. Then he heard the sound of the engine. No one had a car around here anymore. Manuel Roca knew that. He saw the Mercedes appear in the distance and then disappear behind a row of oaks. Then he didn't look anymore. He returned to the table and put his hand on his daughter's head. Get up, he told her. He took a key from his pocket, placed it on the table, and nodded to his son. Right away, his son said. They were children, two children.

Title : Aurore's Diary - Volume 1 - Never Happy - Marie Desplechin - book Summary : February 12th. You can ruin your life in less than ten seconds. I know it. I just did it. Right there, right now. I arrive at the door of the building, a modest baguette in one hand and the modest change in the other, when Nameless-Wonder appears in front of me. Unexpectedly. Less than two inches away (he's leaving and I'm about to enter, we almost smash our heads together, forehead to forehead). He calmly fixes his sublime eyes on me. I lower mine immediately, which is to say I practically throw them underground, deep down, between the sewer pipe and the gas pipe. His friendly voice echoes in the evening air: - Hey! Aurore! Are you okay? I stand there with my mouth open for about two million seconds, before making up my mind and yelling in his face: - There! Thank you!

And when he returns, he will hold in his hand the destruction of the world."
