Jacques Le Goff |
I am passionate about medieval history, particularly the reign of Louis IX, known as Saint Louis (1226-1270), who reformed the administration and justice system and helped the poor. This book tells the whole story, including the context before Saint Louis' birth and after his death, with an in-depth description of the events of the time, which immerses us in it. All while keeping it easy to understand. The author has analyzed and described all the sources concerning this historical figure over a period of ten years. Saint Louis is an exemplary Catholic believer who is very dear to my heart. |

Alexandre Soljenitsyne |
This book tells the story of Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who spent years in the Soviet gulags. He managed to collect letters from prisoners and compile his memories to tell us about the horror of the gulags. It is a book filled with courage, family separation, betrayal, fear, terror, but also hope of finding his wife, mother, and child again. |

Emile Zola |
Emile Zola aptly described the hidden side of beautiful Parisian buildings, which are beautiful on the outside but ugly on the inside. Gossip, love, manipulation, but also a widespread revelation of the true identity of the bourgeoisie of the 19th century. It is a book that is easy to understand and keeps the reader in suspense throughout the plot of Octave Mouret. |

Francis Ford Coppola |
Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Diane Keaton |
One of the best classic films ever released, featuring my favorite actors, set in a world of mobsters alternating between the early 1900s and 1958, with great costumes, music, atmosphere, acting, long silences, and meaningful glances... A film about betrayal, building an empire, and trust. So, this is my favorite film! |

Peter Weir |
Robin Williams, Robert Sean Leonard, Ethan Hawke |
The most beautiful and moving film I have ever seen. The students embody happiness and curiosity towards their poetry teacher despite their school's traditions. A great soundtrack, beautiful images, and a lesson on the relationship between family and a student's future. |

Quentin Tarantino |
Brad Pitt, Christoph Waltz, Diane Kruger |
Christoph Waltz gives an excellent performance as the villain of villains: Hans Landa. He is calm and empathetic but not compassionate; he likes to get to know his enemies so he can hurt them more effectively. There is a tense atmosphere throughout the film concerning the relationship between Shushanna (Diane Kruger) and Nazi officer Hans Landa, which draws the viewer in. |
