The Miser (L'Avare) is undoubtedly Moli�re's most famous play. It is one of his most frequently performed masterpieces and has become a staple of the Com�die-Fran�aise repertoire. This box set also includes: L'�tourdi ou les Contretemps (inspired by the commedia dell'arte) and Le D�pit amoureux (a study of feelings and social misunderstandings). The great names of classical theater (Georges Chamarat, Albert Reyval) and popular French theater (Michel Galabru, Daniel Pr�vost) give us the opportunity to hear these immortal classics of our literary heritage.

In this poignant and personal work, Benjamin Stora traces the history of Algeria, blending grand history with personal memories: stories of his childhood in Constantine, his family's exile in 1962, and his long quest for a shared truth about colonization and the war of independence. Both witness and historian, he sheds light on the conflicts of memory-Pieds-Noirs, Harkis, immigrants, Algerian Jews-and shows how these wounds still shape Algerian and French societies. The tone alternates between autobiographical testimony, rigorous historical investigation, and a plea for reconciliation through knowledge. Written by an "actor-researcher," it is aimed at both the general public and specialists: an invitation to understand Algeria through a life story that speaks to both sides of the Mediterranean. By addressing hybrid identities, paths to assimilation, and quests for self, his narrative takes on a dimension that is both intimate and universal. Claude Colombini Fr�meaux

Les Presses Universitaires de France and Fr�meaux & Associ�s present this biography of Fran�ois Mitterrand, written by Judith Bonnin, a specialist in political history and the history of international relations, and Pierre-Emmanuel Guigo, a specialist in the history of political communication and the history of the media in the contemporary era. Fran�ois Mitterrand, an iconic figure of the Fifth Republic, left a lasting mark on France. This biography, presented by historians Judith Bonnin and Pierre-Emmanuel Guigo, explores the many facets of this complex man: his political rise, his controversial choices, his passions, and his contradictions, revealing the man behind the president in a rich and nuanced biography. The authors draw on the abundant existing literature as well as unpublished archives to recount the life and political actions of the man who was twelve times minister under the Fourth Republic, deputy, main opponent of de Gaulle, first secretary of the Socialist Party, and president for fourteen years. Through precise and well-documented analysis, this audiobook reveals the behind-the-scenes story of a life dedicated to power and the transformation of French society. Claude Colombini Fr�meaux

The notion of protection highlights contrasting realities: on one hand, Palestinians, deprived of security guarantees; on the other, Israelis, marked by the fear of a constant threat. These situations fuel tensions, particularly annexation, settlement expansion, and international recognition. Emmanuelle Morau underscores, through these issues, a broader inability to guarantee and acknowledge the fundamental rights of peoples-a failure illustrated by what the West refers to as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Her work raises an essential ethical question: that of our collective difficulty in recognizing all human beings as equal. It thus invites reflection on the possibilities of coexistence and sharing between peoples who stem from a common cultural and linguistic heritage. Audiobook, in French.

This CD, produced by Jean-Baptiste Mersiol, offers a thoughtful journey through the poetic works of Guillaume Apollinaire, a founding figure of 20th-century literary modernity. Through historical recordings, it highlights the oral reception of his texts by great interpreters of theatrical heritage: Jean Negroni, Jacques Duby, Maurice Escande, and Jean Topart. From La Chanson du mal-aim� to the poems of Alcools, from Bestiaire to texts from the war period, this anthology captures the diversity of a body of work that combines lyricism, experimentation, and memory. In addition, there is an exceptional archival document: Guillaume Apollinaire reciting Le Pont Mirabeau on cylinder in 1913, a rare testimony to the poet's voice and the history of recorded works.

The Second World War remains the largest and most devastating armed conflict of the twentieth century. By it's intensity, it's excess, and it's global scale, it profoundly upheaved the world order. A total war extending to the four corners of the globe, it remains without equal in the number of victims and in the scale of the atrocities committed. It raises fundamental questions about human relations and the philosophical and political foundations of modern societies: totalitarianism and democracy, colonialism, and the right of peoples to self-determination. Produced by Jean-Baptiste Mersiol, this anthology offers a chronological journey through a selection of the most striking Sound Archives of the war: radio broadcasts, news bulletins, reports, programs, and official communiqu�s. Sources in foreign languages have been translated into French and are performed by Sarah Eddy. The conflict unfolds through the speeches of the major figures of the time - Winston Churchill, Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Charles de Gaulle, Franklin D. Roosevelt - but also through the prism of contemporary news reports. A powerful immersion at the heart of history, revealing both the intensity of the conflict and the moral and metaphysical rupture engendered by it's atrocities. Patrick Fr�meaux
