Originally published in 1945, this book contains the French text of the 'Maximes' of François de la Rochefoucauld, which were first published anonymously in 1665. La Rochefoucauld himself added to the text many times during his life, and the version published here contains 641 of his maxims, along with the prefaces to the editions of 1665 and 1678 and two biographical portraits of the Duke in French by himself and by his fellow writer the Cardinal de Retz, Jean François Paul de Gondi. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in French literature and moral philosophy.

A North Montréal teenager like any other, Maxime will start secondary school this autumn. Normally, he and his friends would look forward to a glorious holiday, but he has to acclimatize to his new reality. Following surgery, Maxime gradually realizes the exponential improvement in his mental and neuromotor capacities: fast reading, phenomenal memory, accelerated learning of foreign languages… Not to mention the fact that an ill-intentioned group is pursuing him and trying, by any means necessary, to capture him. In the course of his incredible adventures, Maxime will meet several challenges, overcome every obstacle in his path, and discover some astonishing skills… The adventure takes him across countries and continents, and he will face ever-greater challenges, little suspecting that he will play a crucial role in preventing the outbreak of a conflict whose consequences would be disastrous for humanity. — 10, 9, 8, 7… increasingly lethargic, Maxime doesn’t complete the countdown. Thrown into the mystery, he sails between dream and reality. He is walking at a snail’s pace along an endless path towards an unimaginable elsewhere. Looking up, he fails to recognize any constellation that might give a clue to his situation. Pivoting on himself, he scanned the sky, came to a halt… Could he really see Andromeda? Unbelievable! His senses contradict his knowledge: M31 is not in the right plane, and seems so close… But this galaxy is millions of light years from Earth! A moment of ecstasy… Inexplicable phenomena… Absolute emptiness. No murmur of wildlife, no rustle of flora, not even the sound of sneakers skimming along the path. Suddenly he had the deep, visceral feeling that someone, or even worse, something, was watching him.
