"Bad-jens : mot à mot, mauvais genre. En persan de tous les jours: espiègle ou effrontée." Chiraz, automne 2022. Au cœur de la révolte "Femme, Vie, Liberté", une Iranienne de 16 ans escalade une benne à ordures, prête à brûler son foulard en public. Face aux encouragements de la foule, et tandis que la peur se dissipe peu à peu, le paysage intime de l’adolescente rebelle défile en flash-back : sa naissance indésirée, son père castrateur, son smartphone rempli de tubes frondeurs, ses copines, ses premières amours, son corps assoiffé de liberté, et ce code vestimentaire.

In this work, Pascal draws an analogy between a man who was appointed king just because he resembled a long-lost king and those who are rich and powerful. He argues that the twists and turns of life are all due to chance and unforeseen events. The wealthy and powerful ought thus to despise desire and its kingdom and aspire to that kingdom of love in which all the subjects breathe nothing but love and desire nothing but the benefits of love.

An iconic early feminist utopian novel. This work was one element in the major wave of utopian and dystopian literature that marked the later nineteenth and early twentieth century. A man previously lost to the world is found by his sister and tries to re-enter society. He had amnesia so he is now 55 in body, but 25 in his own mind. The book delves into how the man accommodates to the progress in industry and society; but most of all - and most importantly - it is a fascinating study of how he reacts to and deals with the significant changes and progress regarding the position of women in the society.

Pascal illuminates the substantial differences between the early church and the Church of today. Formerly, it was necessary to forsake the world in order to be received into the Church, while people now enter the Church at the same time as they enter the world.
