Deeply December! With its parade of holiday and celebration with his friends and grub, with its large and small joys. This is the time to read and provide books, it's time to take time ... for you and your family, relatives and friends. The rest will wait ... You see me coming with my Christmas shoes.
I read the books I'll suggest, these are all books "sustainable", ie books to read. I confess that I became allergic to books which become outdated fashion, books to "Kleenex" read-and-forget, ephemeral pleasures. Books to consumer products, driven by aggressive marketing, map and territory Michel Houellebecq is a glaring example.
Today, in this first "best day" of December 2010, I offer my living with these animals that heal Victor-Lévy Beaulieu. These animals that heal the desires of (too) ... drink-if we expand about the cure-longing to get discouraged, cure wounds that never heal, heal the pain of living, and the list goes on.
Today, in this first "best day" of December 2010, I offer my living with these animals that heal Victor-Lévy Beaulieu. These animals that heal the desires of (too) ... drink-if we expand about the cure-longing to get discouraged, cure wounds that never heal, heal the pain of living, and the list goes on.
A book? Not at all, you're not. A book "Our Lady of Good Counsel? No, nothing to do with donors donating ze lesson. My life with these animals that heal is simply the story a slice of life of a writer Victor-Lévy Beaulieu, who lives in his house in his area, with its companion animals.
Jose Blanchette wrote in Le Devoir: "I knew the VLB polemicist, politician, writer, editor and writer. I met with Victor-Lévy, the wise-man who mothers and heals, delivers his sheep, preparing bottles, cooking beef liver for her cats, lavender grows, harvests its berries. Here
or circus or acrobatic, only the silent complicity between the true nature of man and his fellow fortune prevail.
''I am passionate in cattle, said VLB is that they force you to stay curious. [...] For twenty years I now live daily with the animals in my home, my barn and around my buildings, I do not cease to be amazed by the spirit of nature's bounty when he is due respect, we are doing with her body rather than trying to dominate from the outside, "he writes in his latest book about his passion for animals since the dawn of its existence, their balsamic power, his victory over alcoholism and his pet therapists. " ' "
And later in the article, it says: "It takes, on reading his story, how VLB needed animals to tame his own demons, muses repel black self-destruction:
' 'If I could not enjoy my evenings and my nights to rock me from my animals, I do not think I could resist the lure of gin or whiskey than Scotland. The animals were for me a great lesson, they had a Zen concept of existence: we never saw that moments which are each in their privilege, if it has health, lodging, dining and drinking , one has only to enjoy, with confidence, without guilt or remorse, "writes the literary man, who has imposed two cures voluntary rehab, fifteen years ago. "Normally, the stay was 3-4 weeks, I decided to stay there for eight. They were reluctant to accept me even if I stop writing. But I never drank when I wrote '' "
My life with these animals that heal is a living book, cheerful, colorful, singing life, animals, his family all wear name-the plants. It is a book that explores the life, the pleasure of living -Just-and the hope in his daily life, and the ability to age peacefully. On each page, one feels the breath of the sea, revives us.
The book is filled with beautiful photographs, anecdotes surprising. We learn a lot of things interesting. The book, full of humor, gives us good to read stories tasty.

Albert Hughes in News Sunday, says: "If the images of his latest book My life with these animals that heal are very convincing, very strong and also very tender, the text is nothing less than fascinating and very instructive. It goes back to basics!
In the broadest sense, it is a well-deserved tribute to all beings big and small, that make up the animal kingdom and whose behavior, although they say instinctive, is filled with a civic found only in the human race ... The famous author and playwright also makes praise any animal population that shares his life .[...]»
The author of this article gives us touching testimony: "The lady with whom I shared this beautiful August morning had to wait a couple of hours before you fill me talk. And when she took possession of the book, she sent me graze in turn when I wanted to speak to him. VLB had bewitched with his animals and all experiments and observations he described in his book. When we say a must is a must, My life with these animals that heal is a must. Voila! "
He taught me that:" In its edition of September 2010, Reader's Digest chose My life with these animals that heal Victor-Lévy Beaulieu into his Book of the month, a digest that covers 19 pages with photographs. "
This is not nothing!
I could talk again and again to this beautiful and delicious book. I could bring you a host of critics, all positive, a lot of touching stories and comments. But ... it will suffice to conclude by saying that this book will do you good, and that you will return often and long ...
I wish you, rain or shine, good day.
I wish you a beautiful month of December 2010.
Let the sun shine in your heart every day!
