Can we find great love in a society dedicated to enjoyment and individualism?
Volodia, a young history teacher fond of literature, music and the absolute is certain of this. To take us on this initiatory journey, Stéphane Barsacq dips his ink of humor, wit and verve. We laugh and we cry about the tragicomic situations, and what reveals his look on our singularly crazy world.

A misdirected letter and a shared passion for opera will provoke the meeting of two women and upset their destinies.

Pirates
Gallimard-Selection Book & Music Prize of the City of Deauville
Tony Palacio, fairground man, jazz trumpeter, leaves the family lottery and goes to Marseille. Between survival and petty traffic, he meets Max Opale, a former soldier who has become an expert in ballistics. By turns friend, mentor and rival, Max Opale initiates Tony into violence in an investigation linked to the pirates of Somalia. A novel about our ideals, and the links that unite music, poetry and politics.
Pierre Grillet
Madam dream
Stock Edition-Selection Book & Music Prize of the City of Deauville
At the origin of Alain Bashung's most legendary song, there is a man. And an impossible love. Pierre Grillet tells the story of this woman who inspired words we know in spite of ourselves by heart: they loved each other, fled, betrayed, they were reconciled. They played with their lives. Natasha haunted New York, luxury hotels and mental hospitals. The lovers got lost but the love remained; this is what we discover, page by page, in this spellbinding book.
