Title : Holy Spain programmed - Michel Jeury - book Summary : "He turned to observe the landscape. A few green patches on the eastern hills barely pierced the grayness that seemed to extend to infinity, on earth as in the sky. Yet it was said that Spain, Galatia, Britain, and Eurinde were once covered with lush meadows and dense forests. Yes, it was said. The Han'hrar, on the contrary, claimed that all these countries had never existed, that Europe, Asia, and America were myths invented by the Geoprogrammers... This changed nothing about the current reality. Or perhaps it changed everything?" Welcome to the era of Geoprogramming, a world very similar to ours, but with a reworked geography. This is where Dennic Joboem tries to sell a truckload of soap to the residents of Santa Maria until he meets Nora. A mysterious woman who decides to buy Dennic and take him with her...

Title : Secrets, etc - Yannick Noah - book Summary : In this book, I didn't want to recount my sporting exploits or detail my various escapades. I wanted to provide answers to all the questions I've never stopped asking myself about glory, the role of a champion, and the long road to victory. If I have found balance, it is because I chose to put sport at the service of my life, and not the other way around. My athletic career did not bring me complete fulfillment, even if my celebrity brought me unforgettable encounters. And this feeling of imperfection led me to reflect on the mechanism of success. Drawing on my personal experiences and my own conception of performance, I wanted to offer a simple, practical user guide to all those who are in search of their truth. If I sometimes reveal a little of my private life, it is neither out of shamelessness nor provocation. I have simply tried to show how, by accepting ourselves as we are, by admitting our weaknesses as well as our qualities, we can build our own happiness. And contribute to the happiness of others.

Title : The Ugly Ducklings - Boris Cyrulnik - book Summary : Maria Callas, "the divine," the voice of the century, if there were only one, was a little girl wasting away from emotional deprivation in a New York depot for immigrant children... Barbara, scarred by paternal rape and persecuted during the war, knew how to sing her life and everyone hums it... Georges Brassens, a bad boy, owed his ninth-grade teacher the discovery of poetry, which gave another outlet to his rebellion... These cases of resilience are famous. But Boris Cyrulnik describes here what each of us could be. He shows us how this process begins in early childhood, with the knitting of emotional bonds, then the expression of emotions. Boris Cyrulnik is also the author, published by Éditions Odile Jacob, of Les Nourritures affectives, L'Ensorcellement du monde, and Un merveilleux malheur.

Title : A cry from the belly - Enora Malagré - book Summary : In February 2017, during a prime time segment on Touche pas à mon poste!, an internet user asked me a very personal, intimate question, which I decided to answer. Telling the truth was obvious, and I was at that point in my life: to stop hiding, to stop numbing myself, to stop running away. To accept my desire, stronger than anything, to have a child and to stand up to live with my bruises, my bumps, my fears. My cry came from my stomach. By talking about my endometriosis, the illness I have been living with for ten years, I broke the law of silence. " On the cusp of forty, Enora Malagré takes a frank look at her journey and launches a cry of hope for all women, mothers and those who are not.

Title : Successive Loyalties - Nicolas d'Estienne d'Orves - book Summary : Cazes Brasserie Lipp Prize 2012 “A champion of double-dealing, I no longer know who I am, nor what life is truly mine.” English and French, resistance fighter and collaborator, coward and hero, Guillaume Berkeley oscillates between lies and truth in occupied Paris. In love, like his older brother Victor, with Pauline, their half-sister, he lives to the rhythm of his "successive loyalties." Served by clear writing, this romantic fresco explores, with sensitivity and lucidity, the romantic ambiguities and political commitments of a complex character, sometimes shadow, sometimes light, victim of his inner demons and confronted with circumstances beyond his control. Nicolas d'Estienne d'Orves, Roger Nimier Prize for Othon or the Still Dawn, gives us here an ambitious novel where reality and illusion appear as two figures of the same coin. The press "The breath of romance and history is colonized by a more personal story, with a rather bittersweet sweetness... Without doubt one of the most important books of this new season." Livres Hebdo “Expertly orchestrated.” Technikart “A sweeping novel whose author has managed to create a gripping adventure, a successful historical portrait and a reflection on Good and Evil in a troubled period of our history.” Page "The book is irresistible and at times unbearable. You look away, like at the movies, tears flow... A meditation on the Second World War imbued with both immense hope and violence, giving the novel the dimension of a fresco with assumed painful overtones." Literary news "Nicolas d'Estienne d'Orves dips his pen in the brackish bath of occupied Paris and the result is delightful." Paris-Match "This book is a flow. The author plays on all the romantic tables, describes a Paris of dark hours with multiple faces, paints hallucinatory portraits and masters, until the end, his plot and his suspense." Le Parisien “At once a portrait of morals, a historical fresco, and a depth psychology, a novel served by fluid writing and an impressive knowledge of its subject.” Le Figaro Magazine “The pleasure of the historical novel meets the ambition of literature. A master's work.” Marianne "Nicolas d'Estienne d'Orves comes to slap us with 700 pages of collaborationist aberration. To grasp the guy's nerve, you have to read this demented and twilight saga, which allows us to grasp, better than many academic speeches and pompous booklets, not the accuracy of a period, not its historicity, but at least its complexity." Le Figaro littéraire "It's always exhilarating to see a writer succeed in surprising us with a hackneyed subject... From a nebula of astonishing characters, the author creates a novelistic material as fascinating as it is terrifying. And keeps us in suspense until the 720th page." La Vie “A very convincing description, mixing critical thinking, irony and fascination, of Paris during the Occupation. 700 colorful pages that are eagerly devoured.” Le Point “His most accomplished and ambitious work... The final pages will resonate for a long time in hearts and minds, like the famous ewig from Mahler’s Song of the Earth.” Valeurs Actuelles EAN : 9782226242945 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : The Stranger - Malika Oufkir - book Summary : Who does not remember the incredible destiny of Malika Oufkir? In The Prisoner, like Scheherazade weaving her stories, Malika recounted the fate of a child adopted by Mohammed V, then raised as a princess at the court of the monarch Hassan II, within the high walls of the Palace. She was a prisoner hidden from view, a victim of Morocco's ancestral traditions, but pampered by her own people. Following a coup d'état in 1972 in which her biological father, General Oufkir, attempted to overthrow her adoptive father, the King of Morocco, her entire family, mother, brothers, and sisters, were imprisoned for nearly twenty years. Malika then rose to the rank of a heroine of ancient tragedy; a plot where nothing was missing, neither the murder, the revenge, the filthy prison deep in the desert, the cruelty of punishing the children in place of the father, nor the miraculous outcome: a frantic escape across Morocco after digging a tunnel with her bare hands! Malika survived. In 1999, she wrote an extraordinary testimony with Michèle Fitoussi: but what was the price to pay? How can you walk the streets of Paris, Marrakech, Miami or New York, when you're still scared? Why consume if you don't have the essentials? What sensations does a woman's body experience when deprived of desire for twenty years? How can you be a mother when you can no longer give birth? How can you confront Oprah Winfrey during her famous television show, on which Malika was the only foreign author ever invited? What can we say about her mutilated past to Nawel and Adam, her adopted children? Freedom. Or bitter freedom? The Stranger is the true story of a Martian woman who returned to Earth. If you prefer the nickname her friends gave her, the return of Hibernata. Malika Oufkir has a great sense of humor, a keen sense of observation, a fierce temper, and that "grain of madness" that definitely gives her a special place.

Title : The Mammoth Killed Me - Testimony of a Suburban Teacher - Bernard Viallet - book Summary : Bernard Viallet was a primary school principal and taught for thirty years in particularly difficult schools in the Parisian suburbs. Retired since July 2007 and thus freed from his "duty of reserve", the author intends to raise awareness through the testimony of his experience in ZEP. It is the story, in a very lively style, of the daily life of a teacher who devotes himself to his students as much as the limits of the administrative apparatus of the "Mammouth" allow him. The difficulties encountered are multiple: too many students for often inexperienced teachers, language barrier, heavy or even incoherent administrative apparatus, students guinea pigs for learning methods, physical and verbal violence, etc. The "equal opportunities" for all, desired by the National Education, are often absent in priority education zones. Far from any ideology, these are concrete facts, difficulties experienced that are reported here to encourage a profound change in primary school if necessary.

Title : Headwinds - Olivier Adam - book Summary : RTL Lire Grand Prix 2009 "The night protected us and at that precise moment I admit I thought that things were going to become possible again, here I was going to be able to pick up the pieces and get back on my feet, tear the children and me away from this sticky pain that had nailed us to the ground for months, in the end the house, the traces and the memories it kept of the four of us, it had become unbearable, I hardly went out anymore and the children were fading before my eyes."

A father who, to save the world in the eyes of his children, must constantly struggle with his own anxiety and counter, with infinite tenderness, the threats that weigh on their lives.

Title : History of the Wandering Jew - Jean d'Ormesson - book Summary : In Venice, at the foot of the Sea Customs House, opposite the Doge's Palace and San Giorgio Maggiore with its high bell tower, two young people who love each other go to listen, in the evening, to a surprising character who goes by many names. His stories carry them away, through space and time, in a whirlwind of adventures where Stendhal and Christopher Columbus, Chinese and Arabs, the procurator of Judea and Viking warriors, the Israeli raid on Entebbe and the invention of zero, the loves of Pauline Borghese and The Arabian Nights, all the passions of the world and also its miseries pass by at full speed, under unexpected lights, quite unfamiliar to schoolchildren. The man in the raincoat, who recounts, before disappearing as he appeared, these memories or fables that merge with life, claims to be condemned to immortality for having refused, on the road to Calvary, a glass of water to Jesus staggering under his cross. His story of eternity brings to life a myth as universal as Don Juan or Doctor Faust: the Wandering Jew. In the stories of the Sea Customs, he is unlike anything known: halfway between the Bible and comics, Hegel and Arsène Lupin, he embodies the history of men, necessary and useless, always cursed and yet irresistibly cheerful and happy.

Title : I was behind you - Nicolas Fargues - book Summary : "It was in my thirties that life jumped out at me. I stopped thinking I was the king of the world and became an adult like any other, doing what I could with what I was.

I didn't experience war, the loss of a loved one, or a serious illness, nothing. Just a banal story of separation and reunion."

Title : Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality - Sigmund Freud - book Summary : "Given the widespread nature of sexual inclinations, the idea came to us that the predisposition to perversions was the original and universal predisposition of the human sexual drive, from which normal sexual behavior developed in the course of maturation under the influence of organic changes and psychic inhibitions. We hoped to identify the original predisposition in childhood; among the forces that delimit the orientation of the sexual drive, we highlighted modesty, disgust, compassion, and the social constructions of morality and authority. Thus, we were led to see in every fixed deviation from normal sexual life a degree of developmental inhibition and infantilism." Sigmund Freud.
