And if so, how can we define it?

The author asks a fundamental question: has mastery of English become essential to exist in key fields such as medicine, commerce, technology and defense? By exploring the historical origins of this linguistic hegemony, the book examines the consequences of this domination on global cultural and linguistic diversity. The essay draws up an observation and offers a reflection on the means of resilience, highlighting the differences between the Anglo-Saxon and French perspectives.

An author from Locmaria-Grand-Champ

Didier Boisseau, residing in Locmaria-Grand-Champpublishes Medical mishaps.

This collection of true stories abuses the reader's feelings.

An author from Vannes

A writer from Lorient

The Lorientaise Aurore Guégan publishes End. “Loëline is an ordinary young woman, with her strengths and weaknesses. She has a career, friends, but also a dark secret that she has carried with her since childhood. Even if we think we have buried something deep within us, it inevitably ends up resurfacing. Hiding our pain, even unconsciously, weakens us and, one day, an unfortunate event, thrown our way by destiny, brings everything to the surface: the pain, the guilt. Speaking is liberating. Even though humanity sometimes sinks into the deepest darkness, we just need to remember how to turn the light back on so that the torment finally subsides. Life is made up of happiness and disappointments; you have to know how to tame it and accept it as it presents itself,” summarizes the publishing house.

A writer from Rohan

Bernard Gabé resides in Rohan. He publishes Hermes – Between gods and men.

This book is an introductory guide to the philosophy of existence as conceived by existential hermeneutics.

This philosophy is an understanding and interpretation that deals with the attempt to bring together mindful Zen spirituality and meditative thinking suggested by the German philosopher Martin Heidegger. Thinking about one’s “existence” and existing one’s “thinking” is this practice where the meaning of the whole nourishes the meaning of each part and vice versa. It is a demanding but rich philosophy, which could well help people who are willing and able to cope with the chaos that is present in today's world.

An author from Pont-Scorff

Jelloul Belmakadem, residing in Pont-Scorffpublishes Living in peace, the Art of thinking and loving. Here is the back cover of his essay:

We cannot separate thought from feeling, because the intellect and the heart are intimately linked. If we have right thoughts about love, this love becomes beneficial for us as well as for others, because the thought leads to the feeling and the latter pushes to the act, to the behavior. So the Art of thinking precedes the Art of loving, but they are inseparable in the lives of men, which is why we speak of the Art of thinking and loving. Our conception of love is learning to love the souls of humans of which they are unconscious, without waiting to be loved, thus we become free and we can do many things with this freedom. Unfortunately, humans don't care much for true freedom. Selfless love is true love, it is a fundamental principle of life. What matters is that this divine energy passes through them and they feel expanded, amazed, inspired and joyful.

A writer from Saint-Pierre-Quiberon

Sylvie-Anne Paris, lives in Saint-Pierre-Quiberon. For Baudelaire editions, she published Life Paths. His novel is inspired by his personal journey:

How a structured, materialistic life can shift towards a social, human commitment. The characters journey between encounters, quest for origins, professional and personal questioning with a single objective: to give meaning to their lives!
