Having surprised his wife in gallant company at a reception, the banker Granier de Berny is said to have killed her before taking his own life. Wealth, fortune, beauty, all the fairies had leaned over the cradle of Hortense, their only daughter, whose destiny now seems shattered.

On the way to the castle, from the depths of the forest, preceded by a pack of menacing wolves, emerges a large blue-eyed devil, Jean. "Jean of the night," whose first glance pierces the orphan's heart. By painting a striking picture of a confused and colorful era, Juliette Benzoni, a flamboyant novelist, rediscovers the secret of Alexandre Dumas, the one that consists of violating history to give it the most beautiful children.

Title : The animal is a person - For our sisters and brothers the animals - Franz-Olivier Giesbert - book Summary : "If I wrote this book, it is to learn the lessons of a life spent with animals since early childhood, on the farm, then in the city. Throughout the pages, I will tell you about several of my friends to whom, however great my tributes, I will never be able to repay the happiness they gave me, with their candor and their humor: a young goat, an old parrot, cats, spiders, cattle or dogs. Why do we treat pets, substitutes for humans, with such respect, and beasts for human consumption, meat-making machines, so poorly? While we consume billions of animals from the land and sea each year, it is time we came down from our pedestals to rediscover them, listen to them, and understand them. I also wanted to launch an appeal for an end to the scandal of ritual slaughter, whether halal or kosher, which imposes unnecessary suffering on our sisters and brothers, the animals.

Title : The Daughters of Fire - Gérard de Nerval - book Summary : Even outside of Sylvie , there is in Nerval an omnipresent infusion of memory, a song of times gone by that soars and unspools from even the most tenuous reminders of the past and of long ago, and which I do not see in any other writer. It is not a quasi-hallucinatory resurrection of the past, as happens in Proust's best moments, sometimes very close to the illusion of false recognition, it is rather, evoked in his prose by some spell, the blind contact that one feels when finding the house and garden of one's childhood again. As if this bygone world were the only place where, instinctively, infallibly, Nerval finds himself , and immediately convinces us of it. Julien Gracq. Such a bygone world is what most closely defines the works gathered here, which bring together both the "dreamer in prose" and the poet of Odelettes and Chimères . Les Petits châteaux de Bohême recomposes Nerval's ages; Les Promenades et Souvenirs do not separate the past from the places the writer crossed. As for Les Filles du Feu , it was under the title Amours perdues that he thought for a moment of publishing them. As is often the case with Nerval, these different works do not cease to be a quest. Presentation and notes by Michel Brix. This volume contains: Small Castles of Bohemia - The Daughters of Fire: Angélique / Sylvie / Jemmy Octavie / Isis / Corilla / Emilie - The Chimeras - Walks and Memories.
