Maupassant in a briquette, Cioran in bubbles
The news giant has put together a massive work, the breezy nihilistic philosopher in comics and some others to see life in pink and black.
Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) left short stories and stories with an irresistible flavor worthy of the “country of the mustache” France.

France at the tip of Maupassant’s mustache
Compilation “Painter and Poet of the Provinces”, Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) is offered in its entirety in this wonderful compilation of his short stories. With slight sarcasm, Claude Aziza mentioned how much the writer remained misunderstood in his lifetime. Zola, he said, wanted to rally him to naturalism, Goncourt to realism, Mallarmé considered him the heir of Edgar A. Poe.
A beautiful brick for infinite light in the Omnibus editions.

The writer placed himself under the black sun of Baudelaire for mood, the brilliance of Flaubert for style. From “Boule de suif” to “Mouche”, following him in the countryside, meeting his little people, pedlars, farm girls pregnant and addicted to the Norman hole, lifting the boater or girls’ skirts guarantee an unprecedented exoticism. In this long-running navigator, the compact shape does not restrict the length in the mouth, the infinity of horizons. KEY

Cioran reread by a “Tintin philosopher”
Emile Michel Cioran (1911-1995), a French thinker born in Romania, practices darkness as an important discipline. Patrice Reytier draws a fun and ironic inspiration from it.

Test Press cartoonist, Patrice Reytier improvisedLook philosopher” by returning to cioran, his bedside author. Unlike others, the Romanian aphorisms did not make him despair, did not encourage him in cynicism. Along with his wanderings in Paris, the pessimistic thinker exerts a cheerful influence.
After “We can only live in Paris”, Patrice Reytier continued walking with Cioran.
His meditations blaze between the pedestals built by Michelangelo and Mozart, questions Mary Shelley and Lord Byron, reviews religions other than art, Christianity, Buddhism etc. Under the sign of a fragmented comic strip, the bubbles report a happy conspiracy, blowing light where gravity seems to settle.
At random from different chapters even put “A happy person”. What should shock be measured?KEY
“a happy man”
