A selection of 365 texts, excerpts, poems, and thoughts gleaned from literature, chosen for their tenderness, humor, and poetry. A daily invitation to slow down, dream, and breathe. To be read day by day or opened at random, like a literary tarot deck. Hugo, Kundera, Sand, Rilke, Giono… a sensitive journey through centuries and voices. A gently illustrated book to keep close at hand.

A few words from the author:

"I wanted to create a book of refuge. A book that gathers words, passages from literature full of hope, tenderness, humor, and intelligence.

I try not to share too much of what upsets me, what shocks me, what outrages and angers me in our current world, which isn't always easy to bear…

Because I tell myself that bringing a little gentleness and light when all the news is sad and harsh is also a way of resisting. So here it is, my small act of resistance.

I hope it will do you good; I chose all these texts with great joy and illustrated them with immense pleasure."
