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.

Title : The Thing - John Wood Campbell - book Summary : Somewhere in Antarctica. Buried beneath the ice, near an artifact that looks like a spaceship, scientists discover a frozen body—presumably lying there for millions of years. A body that is decidedly inhuman. Decidedly... other. The decision is then made to bring the astonishing discovery back to the station for study. Slowly, the layer of ice around the creature begins to melt, gradually releasing this utterly terrifying strangeness. And the questions raced through the team of researchers: What is this thing? How did it get there? And after all, is it even dead? Haven't they uncovered the most horrific of abominations—a truly cosmic horror? A gripping tale published in 1938, presented here in a new translation, The Thing is a huge classic of world science fiction.

Title : The Stein Report - José Carlos Llop - book Summary : A past fraught with threats that darkens the present and blocks the future gives Llop's novels an inimitable tone. The outside world is as opaque as consciences, and the shadow of civil war disqualifies innocence, even childish ones, from the outset. We are in Spain, at the end of the 1960s, in a provincial port city. The hero, an overly sensitive teenager, feels trapped in a world where adults seem condemned to guilt, extravagance, and decline. At his grandparents' house, where he lives, the atmosphere is as stifling as that of the Jesuit school he attends. Until the day Stein appears, a new student whose free-spirited manner and casualness bring a wonderful breath of modernity and a spirit of adventure to the class. Spanish critics have compared The Stein Report to The Great Meaulnes and The Disarray of Student Törless. José Carlos Llop was born in Palma de Mallorca in 1956. He received the Best Short Stories Published in Spain award in 1999 and has published six collections of poetry, a Journal, and several novels, two of which were published by our publishers: Parle-moi du troisième homme (Tell Me About the Third Man) in 2005 and Le Messager d'Alger (The Messenger of Algiers) in 2006. Both were enthusiastically received by French critics. EAN : 9782742772780 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : On Love and Loneliness - Jiddu Krishnamurti - book Summary : What is love? Possession, pleasure, the certainty of reciprocity? What do we call "loneliness," and why do we suffer from it? Addressing audiences as diverse as India, the United States, and England, Jiddu Krishnamurti has continually returned to these themes. Far from imposing a system on us, and proceeding most often by means of questions, he leads us step by step along the path to true emancipation. It is by freeing ourselves from the wounds of the past, as well as from the satisfactions and pleasures that each of us yearns to rediscover, that our minds can regain innocence and openness. Only then will we know what value and what place to give to sexuality as to friendship, to tenderness as to knowledge. And we will be able to truly love... The author of The Awakening of Intelligence and Liberating Oneself from the Known, who passed away in 1986, leaves a philosophical message accessible to everyone and of universal significance to a 21st century more enamored than ever with spirituality and peace.
