00:00Three very short books that I read recently and that I highly recommend because they are beautiful and leave something to think about.
00:05reflect.
00:05The first one is tiny, I devoured it in a second, the danger of a single story by this Nigerian author
00:11and it's a TED Talk from 2009.
00:13Very current and above all very significant, it reminds us that to truly understand the world we must always listen to more voices and more
00:20perspectives,
00:21because if we only have one version of the story we risk having a distorted vision of reality and above all creating
00:27stereotypes and prejudices.
00:29I'm reading this American author right now and I can already tell you it's great stuff.
00:33Piere Luce by Romain Rolland.
00:34This is a love story between a boy and a girl set in Paris against the backdrop of World War I.
00:39World.
00:40It is a cry of injustice and resistance to the war that makes everything ephemeral and breaks lives and loves.
00:46at birth.
00:47In the midst of this precariousness, their love seems to stand still.
00:51Han Kang's White Paper.
00:52Reading Han Kang for me is like stopping time, like finding yourself suspended in a space between life and
00:57death.
00:58He has an incredible ability to talk about profound issues.
01:01Here he does it with a slightly different structure.
01:04Through a series of images and white objects, he constructs a very intimate reflection on mourning, memory, and the fragility of existence.
01:11The name is the real protagonist here and the writing is extremely delicate, lyrical but essential.
01:17It reminds us that even the most fragile and almost invisible things can actually leave a very profound mark.
01:23These were the three books I read, I really liked them, I really recommend them,
01:27but if you have already read them or have anything to say about them, if you like I'll wait for you
01:31in the comments.
