In any book there is no escape from the language that expresses our deep truth and therefore there is no fear from feeling the self defeated though resistant against all our failure and loss, against our loneliness against itself. Writing has taught me that our destiny is nothing but to live surrounded by the prison of the language that is the source of all what is inside, of all that is beautiful and alive: our brain.
This play depicts the experience of loneliness of a young man. Though the fact of being surrounded by people and voices, he feels alone so he is trying to build a meaning to his life in order to transcend that human condition...

The Irresistible Treasure is about a wealth worth multiple billions located in a rich kingdom of Mayamba in the Republic of Makerun. Then Lokowasa, an international scholar who precipitately and constrainedly returns to his motherland, makes use of his expertise and prowess in technology and together with a gang of three other accomplices overcomes state security mechanisms and successfully steals the valuable treasure under state protection. The gang members are pursued and arrested after many skilful manoeuvres by a seasoned and professional senior police officer. They are condemned to 25 years imprisonment with hard labour. Five years later however and due to their repenting attitudes, they are fined, pardoned and trained into the army where they rise to the summit of the military hierarchy.

Stuart Shelby, the Hollywood star, is more than an actor who stands out from the crowd. For twenty years, the media has been calling him a cinematic monster - which he finds very amusing. He's a monster, yes, but of an entirely different species.On her end, Julie is bored with her office in the French bank where she works - until the day she leaves on a business trip to London and meets Milo, a young computer hacker, only eighteen years old, and discovers a forgotten USB drive that, like a magic door, changes the course of her destiny and pulls her into the dark and morbid world of Stuart Shelby. Musicians call it « the art of counterpoint » - creating multiple melodies that sound simultaneously several octaves apart. In her own way, Nathalie Suteau practices this art, with all the subtlety it demands, for she is not content to share in her characters' joy at the brusque acceleration of their lives and in the background, she orchestrates a disturbing score. Thus, all the lives caught up in this strange plot are touched by the dark side that comes with an existence that is free from boredom and banality - risk, anguish, and Death as a constant companion. And it is also in this counterpoint style that this vampiric tale abandons the castles of the Carpathians and insinuates itself into modern, everyday life. Old demons are never really forgotten.

Il était une fois un petit moineau qui s'appelait Koko. Il vit Caroline qui écrivait une lettre au Père Noël et il promit à la fillette que le Père Noël allait lui apporter tous les cadeaux la nuit de Noël. Il posta la lettre de Caroline et la nuit de Noël il fit la connaissance du Père Noël qu'il n'avait jamais vu auparavant. Koko ne savait rien sur Noël et ses coutumes, alors quelle surprise pour lui !

A review of A. Culioli's theory of modals

- 9782812126390
Cet ouvrage souligne l'ambiguïté de la classification des modaux de la linguistique anglaise, telle que la propose Antoine Culioli, linguiste et fondateur de la Théorie des Opérations Enonciatives.
Les trois premiers chapitres mettent en évidence les chevauchements existants entre les quatre groupes de modalités proposés par A. Culioli : modalités assertive, épistémique, appréciative et déontique. En effet, il apparaît important de rappeler le fait que cette classification ne peut être appréhendée comme un classement « étanche ».
La dernière partie tente de prouver que l'émergence d'une cinquième modalité s'inscrirait dans une continuité cohérente de classification de modaux et d'énoncés exprimant des réalités dites « existentielles ».
Ce travail de recherche a reçu la note de 17/20, et la mention Très Bien a été attribuée pour la globalité de l'année de Maîtrise.

The Night of Calvary, a novel by Yves Jeanjeau: The mysterious strangers of Calvary... Take a leap two thousand years into the past. You're in Jerusalem in the year 33 AD. It's three o'clock in the afternoon of Good Friday. The city is suddenly plunged into darkness. Gusts of howling wind resonate with the fury of the sky, ablaze with an apocalyptic glow of lightening. Torrents of rain beat down on the town. On Calvary the souls of three contorted corpses are finally released from their suffering. In the center is Jesus of Nazareth. On either side are the companions of His last hours, two thieves whose mutilated remains are exposed to the pitiless elements. These witnesses to Christ's ultimate sacrifice were called Dismas and Geslas. Here is their story...

Orphan meditations ; a collection of poems

These are mere poetic trials. They include some visions that perturbed my perception. My mind always traces words in different directions in the hope that the reader can try to decipher the codes that I can never control while writing. My poetry is no longer mine it is that of « you » both inside and outside me. I felt every word I wrote with no desire of any glory but to depict myself naked from any corrupt surface limit.
My poetry is designed for the sensitive who can trust my vision. It is designed for those who may have no fear to enjoy seeing themselves with no makeup but their real weak nature then try to read what underlies the lines to correct things they are able to correct just to feel the freedom gained by literature.
