"La dernière" - L'intégrale du 6 octobre 2024

Le Petit Nicolas is a collection of stories created by René Goscinny and illustrated by Jean-Jacques Sempé. The series began as a comic strip in the Belgian magazine Le Moustique between 1956 and 1958 and was later published in short story form starting on March 29, 1959. The books are narrated from Nicolas's point of view, using a pastiche of childish storytelling with run-on sentences and schoolyard slang. The humor derives from Nicolas's misunderstandings of adults' behavior and the satire that targets both children and adults. The series is an early example of modern children's literature centered on the child's interpretation of the world[1][2][4].

This French translation of 'The Catcher in the Rye' retains the original's depth and emotional resonance. The story follows Holden Caulfield, a disillusioned teenager, as he navigates the complexities of adolescence, grappling with feelings of isolation and rebellion against the phoniness of the adult world.

Written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, 'Le Petit Prince' is a timeless novella that follows the story of a young prince from a small asteroid who travels to various planets, encountering eccentric characters that symbolize different aspects of human nature. The narrative, told through the perspective of a stranded pilot, delves into profound philosophical themes such as innocence and experience, love and loss, and the absurdity of adult life. The little prince's journey highlights the importance of love, relationships, and the inner values that define our existence, emphasizing that 'one sees clearly only with the heart'[2][3][4].

Dans "La haine de la démocratie", Jacques Rancière remet en question le modèle de la démocratie représentative, arguant qu'il ne représente pas une véritable démocratie mais plutôt une oligarchie. Il critique le principe de représentation comme un moyen pour les élites de confisquer le pouvoir au peuple. Rancière propose une alternative radicale : le tirage au sort comme méthode de sélection des gouvernants, afin d'assurer une égalité réelle et de neutraliser l'ambition personnelle. L'ouvrage est une réflexion profonde sur la nature de la démocratie et son fonctionnement. Il invite à repenser les mécanismes du pouvoir et à promouvoir une participation citoyenne plus équitable.
