Title : Brûlebois - Marcel Aymé - book Summary : For what is said to be the nobility of the human species, I would see it better appear as a sign of the honest concern for some true perfection for which nature has constructed each one." Thus, according to the master, human nature is never so deprived that it does not find in itself some honest passion by which it can claim a particular perfection. It remains to distinguish between honest passions and bad passions. Many of these have not deserved their reputation, but none has suffered from the rigors of opinion more unjustly than the passion for wine. The moralists, with incredible levity, on purely external appearances, such as a bulging nose, a dilated stomach, delirium tremens, agree to condemn the abuse of strong drinks and, limited to immediate conclusions, preach in ignorance of the sensible paths, haunted by sun and dreams, and inhuman geometries, which lead from cause to the effect. This is why Marcel Aymé undertakes to restore to us in nobility and beauty the magnificent ambition to drink to one's thirst. Brûlebois, the tender alcoholic he tells us about, pursues in full awareness of "the true perfection for which nature built him", and even to the point of martyrdom, his extraordinary vocation as a drunkard. And, to the desolate sermons carried by the dry American wind, Brûlebois candidly opposes his breath incomparably perfumed with strong wine.

Title : Bibliolycée - Learned Women - Molière - book Summary : Philaminte loves above all “beautiful language and high sciences.” She runs her household with an iron fist, supported by her eldest daughter, the prudish Armande, and her half-mad sister-in-law, Bélise, convinced that everyone loves her. This trio is ecstatic over Trissotin, the pedant who is thrice foolish. This new Tartuffe covets the dowry of Henriette, the youngest, who prefers the amiable Clitandre. In his last comedy in verse, Molière mocks the "snobberies" of his time without misogyny. The fault of learned women is not their infatuation with philosophy, but their ridiculous preciosity and affected mannerism which, even today, continue to make us laugh because it is true that these faults persist. Library high school propose : • the full annotated text, • a first reading assessment questionnaire, • work analysis questionnaires, • five corpora accompanied by observation questions, writing tasks and image readings, • a presentation of Molière and his era, • an overview of the genre of the work and its place in literary history.

Title : Eve - Marek HALTER - book Summary : Eve's eyes ran over the faces facing her. –; But yes, of course! You came to this courtyard for this, poor people of Enoch. Eden, Eden! The garden of Adam and Eve. To know everything about this garden of sin, as our son Seth calls it. You came to question me! And you are right. She straightened up, offering us her very particular, captivating smile. That smile that I miss so much today. –; It is time for this to be said.

Title : Dancing - Hugo Marchand - book Summary : Hugo Marchand woke up one morning with a dream. He was nine years old. This virtuoso, one of the new generation of stars at the Paris Opera, clung to this dream of dance. Four years after entering the Nantes Conservatory, having won a gold medal at thirteen, he was admitted to the Paris Opera Ballet School. Despite his atypical profile, Hugo Marchand joined the Paris Opera's corps de ballet at seventeen. He climbed the ranks, competing against others, as well as himself, in international competitions, and reached the ultimate rank of principal dancer in March 2017. By sharing his apprenticeship, Hugo Marchand takes a look at dance as a school of acceptance. That of the immensity of the work required to make a dream come true. From the quest for excellence to the shaping of self-confidence to achieve it. The tug-of-war between doubt and determination. From solitude to overexposure, from the possibility of friendship despite competition. The perpetual confrontation with the mirror, a reflection of imperfections to be overcome. The experience of a metamorphosis. EAN: 9782081445581 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : If we loved each other? Short stories - Jean Vautrin - book Summary : Keep the trunk, throw away the branches! Obeying this single watchword, to resist the viciousness of the times that is going crazy and to make up for the dearth of souls, I scraped these ten short stories to the bone. In my head, they hummed from one continent to another the sad and hilarious song of people of all skin types, of all faiths and of all countries - guys, women or kids - agitated by the worries of their personal itches, by the turpitudes of the moment, by unemployment, by childhood, obesity, alcoholism, war, the dramas of married life, or quite simply tormented by a strong desire to fuck. I kept the tempo of the characters, I preserved the rhythm of their inner madness. I wanted them to swing and sway to the rhythm of their obsessions. They were, so to speak, greedy for my energy. No doubt because they burst into the imagination of a writer at a moment in the winter of his existence when the inability to love like a young man, his roaring desire to bite into life again, and the approach of death sharpened the acuity of his gaze. In a word, I awakened what is still stirring within me. If we loved each other? EAN: 9782213612287 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo
