Fragment de vie dans un fragment d’image …

Comme photographe et comme personne, nous sommes souvent les témoins involontaires et indiscrets de plusieurs instants de vie pour lesquels l’intimité des gens semble compromise par l’impertinence de notre présence.

Born on October 22, 1919, Doris Lessing redefined English fiction as a tool of liberation and self-examination.

Birth of John le Carré (1931–2020) – The Chronicler of Betrayal and Moral Ambiguity

Born on October 19, 1931, John le Carré transformed espionage fiction into moral literature. His spare, elegant prose exposed the human cost of secrecy, creating a lexicon of betrayal and introspection. Through characters like George Smiley, he redefined English realism—where truth whispers, loyalty trembles, and language itself becomes deception.
