Philippe Barbeau polished his text for a long time. Then, patiently, Marion Janin made it her own, imposing her own breath on it.Her precise, almost precious line respects the universality of the tale, while at the same time imposing a very personal touch.The stones sometimes have silences that separate.

Jules had asked everyone. His father, who is often absent, his mother, a painter, Yvette the baker, the mayor, Bob the postman... But no one could explain to him why the big green and blue cloud above the village never moves, never rains, nor why he feels so strange underneath. He is sure that "his" cloud hides a mystery.

Devoted to the passing of time, the poems from "Alcools" recreate a whole world: of the places that drew the author to his existence, and where his memories are intertwining; of the great female figures who crossed his life. But, they're also soaked in a culture both popular and knowing, which allows the poet to collect the heritage of the past while opening to the modernity of ordinary life. We could've mistakenly thought that this poetry book was a rupture book when it was published in 1913. Filled with ancient poems as well as new ones, Apollinaire offers powerful poems to tell out loud, with regular and free verses.

What is Candide? The shortest, funniest, and most famous tale of the Enlightenment.

These 21 tales encapsulate all the elements of Guy de Maupassant's art. They primarily depict the small and great miseries of the humble, whether in the city or the countryside, narrated in a minor key, subtly colored by a smile, sometimes a mocking laugh, often a ferocious sneer. These are also, and above all, stories that keep the reader on the edge of their seat. Death is present, sometimes invisible, but lurking, and it suddenly appears around the corner of a page. These tales, emerging from the depths of a soul where the great wandering has begun, are the Contes de jour et de la nuit—stories in black and white, where blinding flashes streak through the depths of the night.

Grandmother has just passed away. She took for perpetuity... Perpetuity is a love poem that knocks at the door of time and at the heart of the living.

"Writing is my way of placing my accent, just as you placed yours, Mamé."

Les Fleurs du Mal is a collection of poems published in 1857 that explores themes of beauty, evil, melancholy and escape. Baudelaire expresses an ambivalent vision of life, blending suffering and exaltation while addressing subjects such as love, death, decay, and the quest for the ideal. Through an innovative style and language rich in symbols, the work reflects the poet's inner turmoil and his desire to escape the mundanity of the world.

Wolves love pigs,

especially when their meat is tender!

But it's best not to get too soft...
