Featuring Advocate Ganesh, of the author's Ganesh-Vasanth duo, the novel describes the strained relationship of a middle-aged man and a beautiful young woman in poignant and simple terms.

"Exposé élémentaire de la théorie d'Einstein" par Jean Becquerel est un ouvrage scientifique destiné à présenter les principes fondamentaux de la théorie de la relativité d'Albert Einstein à un public plus large. Ce livre est particulièrement important car il vise à rendre accessible une théorie scientifique complexe et révolutionnaire qui a radicalement changé notre compréhension de l'univers.Jean Becquerel, un éminent physicien français, était bien placé pour entreprendre cette tâche. Dans ce livre, il explique probablement les deux principaux aspects de la théorie de la relativité : la relativité restreinte, qui concerne principalement la physique des objets se déplaçant à des vitesses proches de celle de la lumière, et la relativité générale, qui étend ces idées à la gravitation et offre une nouvelle compréhension de la gravité en tant que propriété de l'espace-temps courbé.L'approche pédagogique de Becquerel dans l'explication de concepts tels que la dilatation du temps, la contraction de l'espace et l'équivalence masse-énergie (E=mc²) a sans doute aidé à démystifier ces sujets pour les étudiants, les enseignants et les lecteurs curieux de sciences.Ce livre est important non seulement pour son contenu mais aussi pour son rôle dans la diffusion des idées d'Einstein, contribuant ainsi à une meilleure compréhension et acceptation de la théorie de la relativité dans la communauté scientifique et parmi le public."Exposé élémentaire de la théorie d'Einstein" de Jean Becquerel est donc une lecture précieuse pour quiconque s'intéresse à la physique et souhaite comprendre les fondements de l'une des théories les plus importantes du 20e siècle.

"Bien que nous ayons l¿habitude de ne pas négliger la préface des ouvrages que nous lisons, nous comprenons difficilement celui qui se hisse a la fenêtre sans aller, par la porte, faire connaissance avec le maître du logis, nous aurions volontiers sacrifié cette courte introduction en nous retranchant derrière ce dicton menteur et vieilli, lequel prétend que les préfaces ne se lisent guère.Ma is nous ne pouvons nous dispenser de jeter un Coup d¿¿il sur l¿état actuel de la culture maraîchère dans notre pays, et il nous faut aussi exposer en peu de mots les modifications apportées aux précédentes éditions de ce traité".

Ce jour-là, une atmosphère de religiosité enveloppait l'imposante chaîne de montagnes qui séparent l'Espagne de la France. Le Congrès Eucharistique, qui prenait fin, avait réuni, à Lourdes, un nombreux clergé et un peuple immense venus de tous les coins du monde. Tous¿fidèles par centaines de mille: laïques, prêtres, prélats, évêques, princes de l'Eglise ¿avaient, la veille au soir, mêlé leurs voix dans les chants pieux de l'inoubliable et grandiose procession aux flambeaux en face de la Basilique, pendant que là-haut, au sommet du Pic du Gers, la croix flamboyante se détachait dans la nuit profonde. Cette croix de feu, au fond de la nue, semblait rappeler la parole angélique d'il y a deux mille ans: Pax hominibus bonae voluntatis.C'était le 26 juillet 1914, un dimanche. Nous nous promenions, ma femme et moi, dans le parc d'un village pyrénéen. Le soleil dardait ses rayons chauds et vivifiants, incendiant toute la vallée du Gave. Soudain, un camelot s'approche de nous portant sous son bras un paquet de journaux. Le gamin criait à tue-tête:¿"C'est la guerre! C'est la guerre!"
