288pages. 14,1cm x 22,7cm x 1,9cm. broché. Prix Goncourt 1993. L'histoire de ce roman tourne autour d'un personnage illustre dans tout le Moyen-Orient et dont nul ne sait s'il fut réel ou légendaire: Tanios-Kichk; et quand Amin Maalouf commence son récit, ce patronyme désigne un rocher sur lequel les enfants n'ont pas le droit de jouer. Tanios avait, autrefois, assassiné un prélat qui lui avait 'dérobé' une femme. Par la suite, Tanios avait erré en Méditerranée avant de tomber dans un piège tendu par la famille dudit prélat trente années après le meurtre de leur ancêtre. Tanios est assassiné, puis transformé en rocher dans la région des Monts-Liban. On pourrait dire que cette légende est le sujet de ce roman. Or, ce n'en est que le point de départ. Le livre que l'on va lire, en effet, est l'enquête menée par un narrateur dont la famille a été mêlée à l'assassinat de Tanios-Kichk. Dès lors, dans une construction romanesque savante et pleine d'aventures, le lecteur entreprend un grand voyage dont le thème pourrait ainsi se résumer: comment et pourquoi naissent les légendes ?

English summary: This autobiography traces the singular life of a philosopher of happiness, a life that was its own invention, seized and desired as such. Over the course of the book, it becomes clear that a philosophy of the subject and of freedom can be both a mirror of life, and the source of that same life. The philosophy of happy freedom creates true freedom and joy. French description: Cette autobiographie est celle d'un philosophe du bonheur. Mais elle n'est pas un traite ni une demonstration, elle est le recit concret d'une vie singuliere. Cette vie est en meme temps sa propre invention, saisie et voulue comme telle. Elle met en scene les actes de rupture, les creations et les fulgurances qui sont en fait le deploiement meme du Desir et de la liberte. Dans le mouvement concret de la vie, dramatique ou comblee, prend place aussi le mouvement de la reflexion. L'auteur suit le fil mnemonique de sa propre pensee et rend compte du travail et de la gestation de chacun de ses livres. L'oeuvre qui a exprime et construit la vie heureuse est ici eclairee en retour par cette vie meme. Une verite, ni morale ni psychologique, prend forme peu a peu: au-dela de toutes les ideologies du siecle, une philosophie du sujet et de la liberte peut etre a la fois le miroir d'une vie et la source meme de cette vie. C'est la pensee de la liberte heureuse qui cree et la liberte vraie et la joie.

Part art history, part road trip, and part detective story, Album Rock began when Matthew Hollett stumbled across an intriguing photograph from the 1850s on the website of the Corner Brook Museum and Archives. Paul-Émile Miot was one of the first photographers to visit Newfoundland. His photo Rocher peint par les marins français (Rock painted by French sailors) shows the word Album painted on a prominent rock in Sacred Bay, on Newfoundland s Great Northern Peninsula. Over 160 years later, the landmark is still known as Album Rock. But what s the story behind this curious scene? And who are the sailors posing on the rock? A lively and insightful work of creative nonfiction and poetry, Album Rock touches on the history of photography in Newfoundland, Miot's travels around the French Shore, and the power of naming in shaping our perceptions of a place. It s also a celebration of curiosity and the joy of delving into the mystery of a peculiar photograph.

'Who died?' I said. 'Or is it a secret?''My mother, Vianne Rocher.'Seeking refuge and anonymity in the cobbled streets of Montmartre, Yanne and her daughters, Rosette and Annie, live peacefully, if not happily, above their little chocolate shop.

Then into their lives blows Zozie de l’Alba, the lady with the lollipop shoes, and everything begins to change....But this new friendship is not what it seems. Ruthless, devious and seductive, Zozie de l’Alba has plans of her own – plans that will shake their world to pieces. And with everything she loves at stake, Yanne must face a difficult choice; to flee, as she has done so many times before, or to confront her most dangerous enemy.....Herself.From the Hardcover edition.

382pages. poche. Poche. Lansquenet est un petit village au c?ur de la France où la vie s'écoule, paisible et immuable. L'arrivée d'une mystérieuse jeune femme, Vianne Rocher, et de sa fille, Anouk, va tout bouleverser. D'autant qu'elle s'avise d'ouvrir une confiserie juste en face de l'église, la veille du carême! Dans sa boutique, Vianne propose d'irrésistibles sucreries. Et beaucoup succombent à son charme et à ses friandises. Car le chocolat de Vianne soigne les espoirs perdus et réveille des sentiments inattendus. Tout cela n'est pas du goût du comte de Reynaud et du curé, convaincus tous deux que les douceurs de Vianne menacent l'ordre et la moralité. En tout cas, la guerre est déclarée. Deux camps vont s'affronter: les partisans des promesses célestes et ceux des délices terrestres.

Extrait: Des Rochers, le dimanche 15ème de mars 1648. Je vous trouve un plaisant mignon de ne m'avoir pas écrit depuis deux mois. Avez-vous oublié qui je suis, et le rang que je tiens dans la famille ? Ah ! vraiment, petit cadet, je vous en ferai bien ressouvenir ; si vous me fâchez, je vous réduirai au lambel. Vous savez que je suis sur la fin d'une grossesse, et je ne trouve en vous non plus d'inquiétude de ma santé que si j'étais encore fille. Eh bien, je vous apprends, quand vous en devriez enrager, que je suis accouchée d'un garçon, à qui je vais faire sucer la haine contre vous avec le lait, et que j'en ferai encore bien d'autres, seulement pour vous faire des ennemis. Vous n'avez pas eu l'esprit d'en faire autant, le beau faiseur de filles.Mais c'est assez vous cacher ma tendresse, mon cher cousin ; le naturel l'emporte sur la politique. J'avais envie de vous gronder de votre paresse depuis le commencement de ma lettre jusqu'à la fin ; mais je me fais trop de violence, et il en faut revenir à vous dire que M. de Sévigné et moi vous aimons fort, et que nous parlons souvent du plaisir qu'il y a d'être avec vous.

Non loin de son campement dans la forêt polonaise, une jeune rromni semble dialoguer avec les oiseaux, les mousses, le ruisseau, les rochers, avec des inflexions saisissantes dans la voix : c'est ce que découvre en 1949 près de Szczecin lors d'une mission de terrain le jeune poète varsovien Jerzy Ficowski. Il va alors encourager Papùsa à consigner par écrit ses improvisations,ce qu'elle fait bien volontiers - écrivant ainsi un chapitre original de la poésie des Rroms.

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER'So wise, so atmospheric, so beautifully written' Marian KeyesReturn to the world of the multi-million-copy bestselling Chocolat....Vianne Rocher has settled down. Lansquenet-sous-Tannes, the place that once rejected her, has finally become her home. With Rosette, her 'special' child, she runs her chocolate shop in the square, talks to her friends on the river, is part of the community. Even Reynaud, the priest, has become a friend. But when old Narcisse, the florist, dies, leaving a parcel of land to Rosette and a written confession to Reynaud, the life of the sleepy village is once more thrown into disarray. The arrival of Narcisse's relatives, the departure of an old friend and the opening of a mysterious new shop in the place of the florist's across the square - one that mirrors the chocolaterie, and has a strange appeal of its own - all seem to herald some kind of change: a confrontation, a turbulence - even, perhaps, a murder...'A writer whose wit and sharp observation enhances her engaging story-telling' Salley Vickers'The most magical, stunningly beautiful novel . . . I sobbed at the end because I couldn't bear to leave. Joanne is truly one of the world's finest storytellers' Joanna Cannon'A place of magic and mysteries, and Harris excels in this delicate balance of realism and enchantment . . .
