Pierre Reverdy Oeuvres Complètes Tome 1 – Pierre Reverdy
30€ – 1500 pages
Mille & Une Pages – Flammarion
A real modern poetic paving stone, this first volume of the collection of Pierre Reverdy’s complete works proudly sits in one of the best places on my bookshelf.
Published by Flammarion, this suite of poems is a perfect moment of happiness.
With the book of Moses, The Animal, (next week), this literary genre finds in my heart a certain place left vacant, following a certain disgust due to an indigestion of romantic poets imposed by the national education.
If there is one thing that could be said against this book by Reverdy, it would be that you have to wait to read the rest. Between unpublished poems, prose poems, short reviews and amazing stories, the Complete Works of Pierre Reverdy go in pairs, and now we just have to wait for the next one.
Le dico des gros mots cachés dans les mots – Edith
18 € – 290 pages
Edith Libre & Ris
This dictionary is the pink UFO in my decor, and after some study of the design and harmony of my home I can say that it is the only pink element with a Thai vase that I bought for myself to congratulate myself for my mention in the,…brevet des collèges. Well, I’ve always been more or less out of step.
Otherwise, Canal + elected the dico number one of the toilet books, and that’s class, plus it was on my birthday, but who cares? Namely, in addition to being the king on the throne this little pink square (no comment) is also the favorite of the FNAC in the humor category, and BSC NEWS.
The dictionary is also a long research work in order to reveal the big words hidden in the words, it shelters a total of 255 definitions. My favorite remains this one:
Chihuahua : Chie Ouah Ouah : From the slang chier “to annoy” and ouah ouah “to bark”.
Little shit dog.
It’s funny, but smells like MDMA, this book is an ecstasy pill, one a day without prescription is the treatment for a perfect mood therapy. Take Your Pill !
I was born on a blue day – Daniel Tammet
21 € – 242 pages
Les arènes
Purchased in June 2007 after Gérard Collard’s literary column in the Magazine De La Santé Au Quotidien on France 5 to learn more about autism and related disorders. I am not particularly attracted to this type of autobiographical book, but to know more about the handicap my brother could suffer from, I can well change register.
In the end I discovered one of the craziest essays I’ve ever read, Daniel Tammet helps us to enter the world of autism in an incredibly simple way.
Why talk about it three years later? Preparing several trips to the Benelux countries, Scandinavia and Russia, I am currently studying Dutch and Swedish with more or less effective textbooks. Having done only one year of German in CM1, and then English, Italian, Latin and Russian, I have no Germanic base as such. Daniel Tammet speaks seven languages and learned Icelandic in one week. That’s why! In his book he tries to approach his technique in chapter 9, The Gift Of Languages. That ten pages or so in the middle makes me want to piss off all the language teachers.
Moreover, his testimony is really moving, the way he was placed on the fringe of society from a very young age really disgusts me about Humanity. We realize that we are all little Nazis putting “different” people in the same basket.
