Small Lives

Small Lives (Vies minuscules), Pierre Michon’s first novel, won the Prix France Culture. Michon explains that he wrote it "to save my own skin. I felt in my body that my life was turning around. This book born in an aura of inexpressible joy and catharsis rescued me more effectively than my aborted analysis." Le Monde calls it "his chef d’oeuvre. A bolt of lightening." In Small Lives, Michon paints portraits of eight individuals, whose stories span two centuries in his native region of La Creuse. In the process of exploring their lives, he explores the act of writing and his emotional connection to both. The quest to trace and recall these interconnected lives seared into his memory ultimately becomes a quest to grasp his own humanity and discover his own voice.

The Eleven

By: Pierre Michon

In The Eleven, Michon lets us into the world of Corentin, a painter shaped by—and who eventually shapes—history. Brought up among provincial aristocracy to become a favorite of Parisian society—his paintings are commissioned by Louis XV’s mistress—Corentin’s career rides the Tides of the French Revolution. His masterpiece, "The Eleven," is an enigmatic Last Supper, representing the eleven members of the Committee of Public Safety (including Robespierre and Saint Just) during the Reign of Terror. Corentin and company, his work of art, and the historical tableau of the French Revolution come to life in dazzling, even painterly, detail. A potent blend of fact and fiction, The Eleven is a beautifully written, astute meditation on the nature of history itself and the artist’s role in it.

B-17 G

By: Pierre Bergounioux

Siendo como es, sin duda, una de las mejores obras de Pierre Bergounioux (catalogada como una auténtica obra de culto por muchos críticos), B-17G se aleja de esa metafísica del paisaje y del recuerdo que abunda en la obra del francés para entrar en los terrenos, diferentes y tanto o más fascinantes, de la guerra, la violencia tecnológica, la velocidad inhumana y las deflagraciones, temas que pueden recordarnos en parte al Sebald de Sobre la historia natural de la destrucción o a la dromología de Virilio. B-17G es una obra densa y vertiginosa, una de las cotas del arte narrativo de Bergounioux que, para la ocasión, viene acompañada de un postfacio del gran Pierre Michon.

Vacillations

By: Emile M. Cioran,Pierre Alechinsky

Cioran avait peu de goût pour la peinture, et n'avait jamais fait de livres illustrés. En 1979, persuadé par son éditeur, il tente l'aventure avec P. Alechinsky et lui propose une trentaine de pages d'aphorismes. Le peintre y répondit par 32 lithographies en couleurs. Cette édition propose en accompagnement des textes, une impression en sanguine du premier état monochrome des lithographies.
