Title : Professors of Despair - Nancy Huston - Book Summary : We are becoming schizophrenic, my friends. In our daily lives, we care about each other, anxiously follow the news, and do everything in our power to preserve and strengthen our bonds. As readers or spectators, on the contrary, we praise the champions of nothingness, advocate a sexuality as exhibitionist as it is sterile, and listen endlessly to the litany of human turpitudes. What is the reason for this growing gap, at the dawn of the 21st century, between what we want to experience (solidarity-generosity-democracy) and what we want to consume as culture (transgression-violence-solitude-despair)? "Man is good and bad," said George Sand. "But he is something else: nuance, the nuance which is for me the goal of art." Has contemporary literature given up on this goal?

Title : The Blue Child - Henry Bauchau - Book Summary : In a Paris day hospital, Véronique, an analyst, takes charge of Orion, a seriously disturbed young adolescent. Despite his difficulties, she discerns that he is gifted with a powerful imagination and undertakes to guide him towards drawing and sculpture. The paths of art and those of daily life are strewn with uncertainties and failures, but in his "dictations of anxiety," Orion manages to open himself to speech and to put into words what haunts him: the fear of a demon of Paris, which radiates and devastates him. Over the years and following unusual paths, the work—the interior work and the work of art—appears and asserts itself. Delirium, confusion, the surprising effects of art in action, the patience of the unbinding people who share the efforts of the "people of disaster" (the handicapped), the unspeakable mystery of suffering that stubborn hope combats, such are the themes of this book into which Henry Bauchau poured much of his experience of psychosis and analysis to reach, beyond the lived experience, the life of the novel. In it, he continues a long-standing dialogue with the imagination, anguish, madness, and the re-enchantment of the world. Under the sign of hope, the fleeting presence of the "blue child" illuminates Orion and Véronique on a path of compassion.

Title : Mythology of Trees - Jacques Brosse - Book Summary : Who has not dreamed in front of a tree in spring? Who has not felt its calm blossoming as an invitation? (J. Brosse) Once protectors, providing for almost all our needs, trees were considered manifestations of the gods' presence on earth, to the point that each of them was attributed a particular essence. Full of beautiful forgotten stories, this book brings together our beliefs about trees, but also the traditional knowledge of the civilizations from which we come: Egyptian, Semitic, Cretan, Greek, Latin, Germanic or Celtic. At the same time, it gives us back the keys to an ordering of the universe that brought man into harmony with nature. Naturalist and Zen monk, historian of religions and philosopher, fierce defender of the environment, Jacques Brosse (1922-2008) devoted more than thirty years of his life to the study of trees.
