Take your Chinese small talk to the next level

Jeanne d'Arc, surnommée "La Pucelle d'Orléans", incarne le courage et le dévouement dans l'histoire de France. Née en 1412, elle a lutté avec foi et ténacité pour libérer la France de l'occupation anglaise durant la guerre de Cent Ans. 

Ses visions divines l'ont guidée dès l'âge de 17 ans, la poussant à couronner Charles VII à Reims. Soutenue par sa foi, elle devient une chef militaire influente, catalysant la victoire à Orléans en 1429. Capturée par les ennemis, elle subit un procès injuste et est brûlée en 1431. Son sacrifice renforce sa légende, et sa réhabilitation en 1456 souligne son innocence.

Sainte canonisée en 1920, elle inspire au-delà des frontières, symbolisant courage et idéaux nobles, un pilier de l'histoire française et un exemple durable de dévouement à une cause plus grande.

El Método Vamos. Capítulo 1.

1.,,Aveam tot timpul la dispoziție. El, fiindcă era bătrân, eu fiindcă eram tânăr.”
2. ,, – Zâmbetul, domnu’ Ibrahim, e ceva pentru bogați. Eu nu-mi permit să zâmbesc. […]
– Domnul Ibrahim, când spun că zâmbetul e o chestiune pentru bogați vreau să spun că e o chestiune pentru oamenii fericiți.
– Ei, bine, aici te înșeli. Zâmbetul te face fericit.”
3.-Tekke nu-i un dans, ci o mănăstire,  Momo. […] 
— Se învârtesc în jurul lor înşişi, Momo,
vezi? În jurul propriilor lor inimi, care
sunt lăcaşul unde Dumnezeu își manifes-
tă prezenţa în om. Dansul lor este o rugăciune.
— Asta numeşti dumneata rugăciune ?
— Bineînţeles, Momo. Ei pierd astfel orice reper terestru, greutatea aceea pe care o numim echilibru, nu mai sunt altceva decât un mănunchi de făclii ce se consumă pe un rug uriaş. “

Maturizarea, amaraciunea, pierderea, moartea, iubirea, toleranta, diversitatea religioasa, familia sunt doar câteva subiecte pe care acest roman scurt le abordează. 
  Schmitt are un mod al lui de a mă face să văd viața diferit atunci când îi citesc cărțile.  Mă tulbură, dar într-un mod plăcut, captivant, hipnotizant. E atât de multă înțelepciune în cartea asta! Și acum, după ce am terminat-o, îi mulțumesc domnului Ibrahim pentru calmul și pentru iubirea pe care mi le-a strecurat și mie în inimă!

Vol.85 ルカさんと日本の夏旅行の経験

If you thought social media was just a place for viral dances and cat photos, think again.

Popular influencers on apps like TikTok and YouTube have been boosting book sales with their videos.

And many are watched by millions.

The BookTok community on TikTok has been influential in encouraging users — who are often young people — to buy real books in bookshops.

But a survey from 2022 found that YouTube is actually the most popular place for young people to discover new books on social media.

The survey was done in November 2022 by Nielsen Book Data. It found that in the UK, 34% of people aged between 14 and 25 used YouTube — which is known for its BookTube community — for their book ideas.

TikTok was used by 32%, and 27% went to Instagram to find out about new books.

Some reports in recent years have said that young people are reading less than ever. But according to The Guardian, people in the 14 to 25 age group bought around 61 million books in the UK in 2022.

This was 18% of all books bought.

And it's not just social media where they're finding reading recommendations.

The most common way to discover new books is by talking to friends. Forty-one percent said they do this, while 35% find out about their books by visiting bookshops.

The survey also reported that fantasy action and fantasy adventure stories are the most popular among young people.
