The 13th Book Fair, organized by Martine Garnier, took place on Sunday October 6, at La Bergerie.
Around the tables, the public was able to find something to read for the winter evenings to come, with richness and diversity in the choice and number of invited authors and publishers.
The day before took place a conference with Nicolas Pagnol, guest of honor of the show whose year 2024 celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the death of his grandfather, Marcel Pagnol, writer, playwright, filmmaker and academician. The grandson, interviewed by Floryse Grimaud, creator of the Marcel Pagnol literary prize in 2000, specifies among other things: “Of my grandfather’s twenty-four films, eighteen have been restored to this day. Film restoration is a long process and goes through several stages to result in a digital film.” The idea of highlighting Marcel Pagnol came to him when he discovered an abundance of writings in the attic of Jacqueline Bouvier, his grandmother. “I also pay homage to my grandfather, by publishing his works in comic strips. But the show also involves around forty authors who come to present their works.”
Books for young people and local authors
This is how Didier Begliomini, mathematics teacher, created Les Origamaths Créations which allows you to understand geometry via origami. The professor specifies: “Since the start of my career, I have never stopped trying to take mathematics out of its usual framework to make it fun and more motivating for students. This process concerns children aged 6 to 12.”
A few tables further, we meet Jean-Luc Prat-du-Jancourt, passionate about writing. He moves from novels to stories, from poetry to thrillers and short stories. He writes for children aged 2 to 11 and also for older children and adults. Another kind is also in the living room. Frédéric Quinonero, is a French writer and biographer. He has written several opuses on artists such as Serge Lama, Julien Doré, Michel Sardou and Jane Birkin.
Without forgetting the local writers Olivier Pince with volume II of VertigoDino Bertolo and his first collection of poetry and Sébastien Lamy and his writings on his time as a peacekeeper during the conflict in former Yugoslavia.
