Philippe Torreton a passé trois nuits avec le Samusocial. Trois nuits de maraude dans Paris, aux côtés des bénévoles, des infirmiers, des travailleurs sociaux et des gens qui vivent dans la rue. De ces heures transcrites, il tire un long poème en prose qui n'a rien d'emprunté ou d'artificiel. Il raconte au contraire avec une vivacité saisissante la misère, la spirale infernale, la folie parfois, ou l'exil, mais aussi l'engagement, l'espoir, l'amitié et l'impuissance de ceux qui se battent, la colère de ne pouvoir faire plus.

The story of Christopher Isherwood's life is one of pilgrimage: away from the constraints of inheritance and empire and toward authenticity and spiritual illumination. Isherwood—the author of Goodbye to Berlin, which inspired Cabaret, and A Single Man—was born the heir to a crumbling English estate. He died an icon of gay liberation in California while his partner, Don Bachardy, painted his death portrait.

From the birth of the house of Windsor in 1917, its leading women - Queen Mary, the Queen Mother, the Duchess of Windsor and Queen Elizabeth II - faced abdication and assassination, revolution and the rise of fascism, the threat of invasion and all-out war.

Escritos entre 1944 e 1962, situados entre o ensaio e a autobiografia, os onze relatos de As pequenas virtudes são um marco da escrita memorialística do século XX. Sem idealizações nem sentimentalismos, As pequenas virtudes é fruto de uma prosa límpida, aliada ao vigor típico dos escritores que, ao falar de coisas simples, revelam as questões humanas mais profundas. Nestes onze textos, a escritora italiana Natalia Ginzburg não faz delimitações entre as dimensões social e histórica, construindo uma obra singular e de raro afeto.

“We acquire the strength we have overcome.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson This is for the seekers, for those of you feeling the call to reach higher; to grow into the greatest version of yourself. It will take some courage to get there; to move through some uncomfortable truths and to shine a light on what is no longer serving you. It will require some faith; we are more than just our bodies and our minds. There is a God-force ready to assist you, if we are brave enough to take on the challenge.

También ha tratado a los compañeros de oficio más influyentes, a dirigentes de todos los partidos, presidentes de gobierno y, por supuesto, a los reyes.
