By Barbara Risoli, Yvonne Glasbergen. 2015
Boekbeschrijving Een Giftig Hart Een buitengewoon liefdespaar in het Frankrijk van 1788 Het verhaal speelt zich af in de zomer…
van 1788, in het de op de proef gestelde Frankrijk van voor de Franse Revolutie. Men is in afwachting van de dag waarop de Staten-Generaal bijeen zullen komen, voorafgaand aan de bestorming van de Bastille. Hoofdpersonen zijn Eufrasia, dochter van graaf Xavier des Fleuves - een trots lid van de fysiocratische aanhangers van de Verandering - en Venanzio, een huurmoordenaar met een twijfelachtig verleden. Na het mislukte huwelijk van het meisje ontmoeten de twee elkaar en ontstaat een hechte band tussen hen. Zij leggen hun zielen schaamteloos bloot en zijn tot alles bereid om op te komen voor zichzelf, over de ruggen van anderen. Eufrasia's verzoek om haar eigen moord te ensceneren om niet het klooster in te hoeven, en de uitvoering van deze dienst door de bandiet, geeft elk van een hen een nieuwe identiteit. Zij houden zich schuil tegen de duistere achtergrond van het roerige Frankrijk, dat gebukt gaat onder de onophoudelijke sneeuwval van de winter van 1788. Op dit punt speelt het verhaal zich af tussen Nanterre, een gehucht in de buurt van Versailles, en Bretagne, de geboortegrond van de hoofdpersonen. Eufrasia wordt de Weduwe, een vrouw die zich altijd schuilhoudt, strijdbaar tot het uiterste, een behendig gokster en smokkelaarster die de opkomende revolutie van wapens voorziet. Venanzio geeft zich uit voor graaf Stolfo Rues, uit een niet-bestaand geslacht. Een serie toevalligheden brengt hen opnieuw bij elkaar, waarbij de liefde tussen hen langzaam opbloeit in de wederzijdse angst om afgewezen te worden. Maar belofte maakt schuld en....Le Poison du Coeur

Etats Généraux qui précèderont la prise de la Bastille. Les protagonistes sont Euphrasie, fille du comte Xavier des Fleuves faisant partie des physiocrates partisans du changement, et Venance, un tueur à gages au passé trouble. Suite au mariage raté de la jeune femme, les deux se rencontrent et un solide lien se crée entre eux et connaitra d'inquiétantes péripéties qui révéleront leurs âmes sans scrupules et prêtes à tout au détriment des autres. La demande d'Euphrasie de mettre en scène son propre meurtre pour échapper au couvent et l'exécution de ce service par le bandit pousseront les deux protagonistes à changer d'identité et à se cacher dans cette France en ébullition, à genou et sous la neige incessante de l'hiver 1788. L'histoire s'articule entre Nanterre, petit bourg proche de Versailles et le Bretagne terrre d'origine des protagonistes.

Venance se fait passer pour le duc Stolfo Rues d'une lignée inconnue.

By Georges Bernanos. 1947
En 1948, el reconocido escritor de inspiración mística Georges Bernanos desapareció, dejando el manuscrito de un último libro, publicado póstumamente:…
Francia contra robots. Esta apasionada defensa de la libertad es un desafío a las idolatrías paganas de ganancia y fuerza, con una increíble actualidad. Esta diatriba contra la "sociedad de las máquinas" es un grito futurista, para señalar una sociedad en la que es posible llevar una vida digna de seres humanos.Esta visionaria obra señala una Sociedad futura donde la tecnología domina a los seres humanos y los deshumaniza. Atacando la conformidad burguesa en nombre de sus creencias católicas, el autor afirma "que no es ni de izquierda ni derecha" y los conflictos internos son especialmente la fuente de las maldades que disminuyen al hombre y todas las tiranías que lo aplastan.“El peligro no está en las máquinas, de lo contrario deberíamos hacer este sueño absurdo de destruirlas por la fuerza, a la manicura de los iconoclastas que, rompiendo las imágenes, se halagaron aniquilando también las creencias. El peligro no está en la multiplicación de máquinas, sino también en el número cada vez mayor de hombres, que desde su infancia, solo desean lo que las máquinas pueden proveer”.I Will Find You (A Seal Island novel): A captivating love story from the author of THE ITALIAN VILLA
