"Man was born free, and he is everywhere in chains." These are the famous opening words of a treatise that has not ceased to stir vigorous debate since its first publication in 1762.

Jean-Pierre Marielle s'est jusqu'à présent peu livré, alors qu'il est en haut de l'affiche depuis une cinquantaine d'années, au théâtre, au cinéma, à la télévision. Un tel comédien, aux rôles paradoxaux, ne pouvait proposer une autobiographie classique. Ici, nulle nostalgie ni ragots mais une balade "à sauts et à gambades" dans l'intimité d'un acteur exceptionnel. On y croise les copains de toujours, Belmondo, Salvador et les autres, les auteurs vénérés, Ionesco ou Camus, les musiciens adorés.

Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains. In The Social Contract, Rousseau explores the concept of freedom and the political structures that may enable people to acquire it. He argues that the sovereign power of a state lies not in any one ruler but in the will of the general population. Rousseau argues that the ideal state would be a direct democracy where executive decision making is carried out by citizens who meet in assembly, as they would in the ancient city-state of Athens.

Intrigante prostate, c’est l’histoire d’un médecin qui s’autodiagnostique un cancer de la prostate à soixante-cinq ans, un peu par hasard, sans y croire vraiment.

Il brise plus d’un tabou en expliquant les dessous de cette maladie que l’on surnomme « le cancer des hommes ».

Con inesorabile precisione e passione di verità, Améry registrò in questa sua vertiginosa discesa nell'abisso concentrazionario le disfatte dello spirito, a cominciare dalla peculiare inferiorità nella quale venne a trovarsi nel Lager.

It then highlights key nineteenth century themes and Methodist contributions, such as spreading scriptural holiness through missions and literature, planting tens of thousands of Sunday schools and churches by Circuit Riders, the pivotal Methodist schism between abolitionists and enslavers, the innovative building of schools and hospitals into the next century, and the revivalism of the Second Great Awakening.

Rousseau's Discourse sets out to explore the origin of inequality among people, a journey that sees him trace the evolution of humans from the savage man to the foundations of civil society.

Throughout the book we are led to consider the development of language, reason, self-preservation, benevolence, pity, and law - all through the lens of perhaps the most original thinker of the 18th century.
