Title : Brothers to be slaughtered - Takeover of the Grand Orient of France - Hugues Leforestier - book Summary : For over 20 years, scandals and power struggles have tarnished the image of French Freemasonry. Today, an advisor to the Order of the Grand Orient of France, who wants to be proud of his obedience once again, is speaking out and explaining himself. The situation within the "Cadet house" is serious. Anonymous letters, denunciations, false rumors: anything goes to rule without sharing power. Today, Hugues Leforestier has decided to break the silence on the financial scandals that have recently been the subject of legal complaints for theft and misuse of corporate assets. He is protesting against a handful of hierarchs clinging to power, stifling debate, and incapable of revitalizing the obedience. For him, as for many others, it is urgent to publicly state why the Grand Orient, for so long the driving force of the French Republics, is in complete disarray and running on empty, how the obedience is being exploited by stifling all bold thinking, while fighting for bits of power, honorary positions, and opaque accounting. Those who protest have today become targets, "Brothers" to be brought down... But for the author, there is more important: faced with a changing world, faced with the anger rumbling outside, the thousands of Brothers must live up to their elders. History is being written now. It is time to breathe new life into Freemasonry. Hugues Leforestier: Advisor to the Order of the Grand Orient of France, of which he was Secretary General in 2005 and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of its real estate subsidiary in 2006.

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 : 1885: The Colonial Turning Point of the Republic - Gilles Manceron - book Summary : A new work that puts into perspective recent debates on France's colonial past, in light of the decisive debates that marked the beginnings of the Third Republic, and then the entire history of the 20th century. During the public debate in France in the 2000s on the colonial question, it was often forgotten that the Republic was never truly unanimous on this subject. Thus, in 1885, when some republicans took up the monarchical idea of ​​colonial conquests, this gave rise to heated clashes in the Chamber of Deputies, at the end of which the colonial project only narrowly prevailed. Hence the major interest in rereading today the formidable parliamentary debates of July and December 1885, during the vote on credits for the continuation of the conquest of Madagascar and Indochina. The historian Gilles Manceron offers here a reasoned selection, accompanied by a preface putting them into perspective. When Jules Ferry defends the idea of ​​a "republican colonization" in the name of the rights of "superior races vis-à-vis inferior races", Jules Maigne, an old republican of 1848, replies to him: "You dare to say that in the country where the rights of man were proclaimed!" And Georges Clemenceau: "I do not understand why we were not unanimous here in rising up with one leap to violently protest against your words!" The "colonial party" then did everything to make people forget this fundamental debate of 1885. It was on this concealment that a republican colonial policy was able to develop for three quarters of a century, ignoring human rights – and whose legacy is returning today.

Title : Spiritual Itinerary - Gérard Oberlé - book Summary : Spiritual and spiritual derive from the same root. As a child, the narrator of Itinéraire spiritueux learned music in church and at the bistro, through hymns and drinking songs. He grew like a lily of the field between holy water and brandy, at a time and in a milieu where the fashion was for good husbands, good fathers, good workers, and good Christians. The daily practice of these virtues required compensation. It was in the bottle that they were most often sought. Always boozy journeys, an overflowing romantic itinerary, with bacchanalia and domestic or exotic hangovers, rolling and pitching, solemn paths and dead ends, beautiful chords and heavy bills, blandishments and fogs, sixty years of cruising where the winds have blown like festive desires, with reefs where sirens sing, ports without anxiety, last-chance cabarets and, always, new sailings. The old word ivrongne is an anagram of vigneron. I wanted to celebrate both in a familiar and burlesque tale where poets and peasants, good girls and naughty boys, canons and dogs, bartenders, all sorts of parishioners... and my father also cross paths. The bottoms of the bottles served as my spyglass and the cocktail glasses as kaleidoscopes. Let's just say my vision of the world is a little cloudy. Lucky! When I see things as they really are, it will be time to close up shop. EAN : 9782246682912 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : The Little Girl from Ronce Passage - Esther Senot, Isabelle Ernot - book Summary : Promise me you will tell the world what men have been capable of doing to others." This was the hope expressed by Fanny a few hours before her murder in the gas chambers of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Today, her younger sister Esther is keeping her promise. In the 1930s, her family, fleeing Polish anti-Semitism, migrated to France and settled in Passage Ronce, a district of Belleville. This is where Esther grew up with her five brothers and sister, in this working-class neighborhood, with its markets, dusty streets, and shoemaker and tailor shops. A modest but happy existence that was turned upside down in May 1940. First came the arrest of her brother Marcel, then that of Samuel, who was sent to Drancy. The Vel d'Hiv roundup on July 16 and 17, 1942, was a devastating blow. Esther would never see her parents again. She took refuge with a guard, managed to reach the unoccupied zone, and returned to Paris, where she was finally arrested during an identity check and interned in the Drancy camp. Birkenau: Esther was shaved, tattooed, and assigned a barrack, a commando. Hell begins: forced labor, cold, promiscuity, beatings, disease, hunger. And death, everywhere. Seventy-five years after the liberation of the camps, Esther continues to keep the memory of her family alive and to honor the promise she made to her sister. The Little Girl of the Ronce Passage is this story, but also a different historical and literary project. With the help of Isabelle Ernot, it opens like a diptych: the testimony is followed by a dialogue with the missing, by letters to her sister Fanny and her mother Gela, or even during a stroll on her school route between Ménilmontant and Belleville. The story constantly returns to this Ronce Passage, which has disappeared, and which now exists only here: in this stele of words, vivid and moving.
