2014 Nobel Prize in Literature
As our fall break ends, we look forward to gathering again as a full group and exchanging tales and pictures of travel and adventure. We'll also share recommendations for pleasure reading based on the books that accompanied us on our travels. The best-selling book in France this week comes from Patrick Modiano, winner of the 2014 Nobel Prize in Literature. Modiano, whose oeuvre is not that well known in the English-speaking world, was saluted by the Nobel Prize committee "for the art of memory with which he has evoked the most ungraspable human destinies and uncovered the life-world of the occupation." Modiano's work has special resonance for us, as we spent several weeks studying the German occupation of France and Vichy collaboration during the Second World War. Modiano's father's history, as recounted in Clémence Boulouque's article below, is understandably controversial. Interestingly, it resonates with Annette Muller's father's dealings with Israëlovitch, as documented in our reading by Richard D.E. Burton ("Operation Spring Breeze: Rue des Rosiers, Vel' d'Hiv', Drancy (July-August 1942)," in Blood in the City: Violence and Revelation in Paris, 1789-1945).

I have been suffering from (HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS) for the last four years and had constant outbreaks and pains. During the first year,I had faith in God that i would be healed someday, and i was taking treatments and meds from my doctor. I was taking accyclovir alongside some ointment. I spent so much on meds but the blisters still return after some months. It was early this year, i was using the Internet to see if i could gather any information to get rid of this virus once and for all, using natural herbs. Then i came across a testimony of a woman who was healed from diabetes and Cancer of the breast by one Herbal Dr.yakubu. I copied the email address of the doctor after her testimony. So I sent a message to Dr.yakubu telling him about my Herpes Virus. he told me not to worry that as long as I will make use of the herbs as directed, with God, I will soon testify. I thought he was bluffing. So we got talking and he asked me some questions. He prepared and sent me some herbs in 70ml bottles and ointment, then he guided me on how to use them. In less than 2 months of usage, i was totally healed. The blisters disappeared and the pains gone too. I went for a test and the result was Negative. I had to use a different hospital and the result was same. Since over nine months now, I am Herpes Free.... Please my advise is this, if you have similar sickness or any other sickness at all, Please do not forget to reach out to Dr.yakubu on : (dr.yakubuherbalhealingclinic@gmail.com). you can also reach the doctor on whatsapp +2348057353647
