Livre du mois:

"Félix et la source invisible" de Eric Emmanuel Schmitt




Résumé :

Félix, 12 ans, est désespéré. Sa mère, la merveilleuse Fatou, qui tient à Belleville un petit bistrot chaleureux et coloré, est tombée dans une dépression sans remède. Elle qui incarnait le bonheur n'est plus qu'une ombre. Où est passée son âme vagabonde ? Se cache-t-elle en Afrique, près de son village natal ? Pour la sauver, Félix entreprend un voyage qui le conduira aux sources invisibles du monde.Dans l'esprit de Oscar et la dame rose et de Monsieur Ibrahim et les fleurs du Coran, Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt interroge les mystères de l'animisme, la puissance des croyances et des rites issus d'une pensée spirituelle profondément poétique. Il offre aussi le chant d'amour d'un garçon pour sa mère.

WHAT OUR MEMBERS ARE SAYING

Lir M.

I'd like to start this off by thanking you for teaching me so much French. You were a great teacher and you helped me learn so many new things. I'd also like to apologize for missing a lot of lessons, although I'm sure that I would've rather gone to them. Again, you are the best teacher I've ever had, and it's sad to say goodbye to you.

Alliance Française de Denver created a wonderful virtual environment where I spent my Summer vacation; visiting the winemaking area of Bouzy; celebrating Bastille Day; learning how to cook with flowers; touring historic châteaux and beautiful villages; all in the safety and comfort of my home.

A real treat for any Francophone person; especially having a daily place for French chat to try out and maintain colloquial skills.

Anne is fantastic! The material is fast paced for this "old dog" to learn new tricks, but we could not go slower. It has been very helpful to prepare me for my trip to France.

A great place to learn and practice French while getting acquainted with French culture and interesting people. I definitely recommend AFD and their events. Je parle français! Et vous?
