Title : In Search of My Father's Soul - Jmaling Tenzing Norgay - book Summary : And suddenly I saw my father! He was right behind me. He had taken off his oxygen mask and pushed up his glasses. "We both realized our dream," I told him. "You didn't have to come all this way to talk to me, Jamling," I heard him say. Maybe. But I thought it was worth doing... " J. T. N. On May 29, 1953, Tenzing Norgay, alongside Sir Edmund Hillary, became the first man to reach the summit of Everest. This feat earned him immense fame among his people, the Sherpas, who lived at the foot of Chomolungma. After his death, his son Jamling, who had always dreamed of tackling the most legendary of peaks, was asked to become the guide of a team of mountaineers. A film was to be shot in Imax format. The mission entrusted to the young man: to lead the director and cameramen to the "roof of the world." And thus repeat his father's feat. But the omens were not favorable. And the roped party was soon confronted with dramatic circumstances: the most terrible of hurricanes was approaching... In Search of My Father's Soul tells the story of an extraordinary adventure, that of an ascent perilous, at the same time as it traces the spiritual journey of a man determined to reconnect with his roots, those of the Sherpa people.

Title : Committing to support - Values ​​of training professions - Mireille Cifali - book Summary : The role of commitment in training, whether it involves training or self-training, is essential. Commitment to knowledge, speech, voice, and techniques, bodily commitment even in clumsiness. Taking risks, maintaining a creative process day after day alongside habits, skills, abilities, and even competencies. To support and sometimes resist, is a commitment to knowledge indeed desirable? To be concerned, oneself, by the knowledge transmitted? Attentive to the other to whom one is addressing oneself? Mireille Cifali answers these questions in the affirmative. For a trainer, the fragile articulation between theories and practices is thus outlined, as well as the essential place reserved for ethical work. It is on her experience as a training clinician that she draws to transmit the values ​​at the origin of systems where thinking is a joy, where training is an increase of being as much as of knowing.

Title : And I still live - Jean d'Ormesson - book Summary : There is only one novel - and we are both its authors and its characters: History. Everything else is imitation, copy, scattered fragments, stammerings. It is History that this world-novel revisits, where, sometimes man, sometimes woman, the narrator flies from era to era and resurrects before our eyes the adventures of men and their great discoveries. Living by gathering and hunting in a still virgin nature, he arrives, after millennia of walking, on the banks of the Nile where agriculture and writing develop. By turns African, Sumerian, Trojan, friend of Achilles and Ulysses, Roman citizen, wandering Jew, he salutes the invention of printing, the discovery of the New World, the Revolution of 1789, the progress of science. Sailor, servant in a tavern on the Sainte-Geneviève mountain, valet of a great painter or an astronomer, mistress of an emperor, he is at home in Jerusalem, in Byzantium, in Venice, in New York. This vast enterprise of exploration and admiration ends up sketching in hollow, with irony and gaiety, a sort of intellectual autobiography of the author.

Title : Everything We Could Have Been, You and I, If We Hadn't Been You and I - Albert Espinosa - book Summary : I feel weaker and weaker... Soon I will no longer be able to speak... So I will beg you today to do me one last favor, my child. As I truly no longer have the courage to continue suffering and it may no longer be possible for me to ask you, kill me." The unfortunate Mathilde will have to pay dearly for her terrible act. Murder is still murder, even when it is ordered by the victim. Tortured until the end of her life by a diabolical abbot and his mistress - who know the crime she has committed -, Mathilde is forced to sign a will in which she leaves them practically all of her fortune, which, at the time of her death, is considerable.

Title : Jesus of Nazareth - Benedict XVI - book Summary : "This is the great question that will accompany us throughout this book: what did Jesus really bring, if he did not bring peace to the world, well-being for all, a better world? What did he bring? The answer is very simple: God. He brought God. He brought the God whose face was slowly and progressively revealed from Abraham to wisdom literature, through Moses and the prophets - the God who had shown his true face only in Israel, and who had been honored in the world of the Gentiles under obscure avatars - it is this God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the true God that he brought to the peoples of the earth. He brought God: from then on, we know his face, from then on we can invoke him. From then on, we know the path that, as men, we must take in this world. Jesus brought God and with him the truth about our origin and our destiny: faith, hope and love." EAN : 9782081203907 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : The Ultimate Desert - Life and Death of Michel Vieuchange - Antoine de Meaux - book Summary : We knew nothing about Michel Vieuchange (1904-1930), the author of the dazzling Smara, a travel diary snatched from the furnace and sands of one of the last blank spots on the world's maps, the Saharan Rio de Oro. Antoine de Meaux does more than recount the odyssey of this twenty-six-year-old explorer, who died at the end of his journey. Having had access to numerous unpublished archives, he manages to bring to life from the inside the journey of this boy from a good family, promised a bright future, and who deliberately chose to subject himself to the test of the worst. Because the photos are there: in the space of a few seasons, the well-bred young man is transformed into a sort of demon or archangel, casting a lightning gaze upon the world...
