No longer forced to take commissions, Leonardo spent his days editing notebooks filled with his scientific studies and treatises on painting and anatomy. He had with him his paintings of The Virgin and Child with St. John the Baptist and the Mona Lisa. Leonardo was a tourist attraction.
Fans can see where he lived, where he died and where he is buried. The book contains many interesting, little known facts.

Yet one important lesson never seemed to sink in: In The Bonjour Effect Julie and Jean-Benoit chronicle the lessons they learned after they returned to France to live, for a year, with their twin daughters. They offer up all the lessons they learned and explain, in a book as fizzy as a bottle of the finest French champagne, the most important aspect of all: To understand and speak French well, one must understand that French conversation runs on a set of rules that go to the heart of French culture. Why does broaching a subject like money end all discussion?
Why do the French become so aroused debating the merits and qualities of their own language? Through encounters with school principals, city hall civil servants, old friends and business acquaintances, Julie and Jean-Benoit explain why, culturally and historically, conversation with the French is not about communicating or being nice.
After reading The Bonjour Effect, even readers with a modicum of French language ability will be able to hold their own the next time they step into a bistro on the Left Bank.

With absolute emotional courage and openness, he somehow finds a way to answer that impossible question: This is the rare and unforgettable testimony of a survivor, and a universal message of hope and resilience. Leiris confronts an incomprehensible pain with a humbling generosity and grandeur of spirit.
He is a guiding star for us all in these perilous times. His message—hate will be vanquished by love—is eternal. Pas le temps de lire le livre? Je vous le recommande!
