When I wrote this article I was starting "Le Château d'Argol" which I was unable to finish since I found it boring and pretentious. I understand it was his first novel and I will try others, since I am convinced that he is a very fine writer.David Cobboldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219646897587177986.post-9761950833259578112011-08-26T22:06:40.607+02:002011-08-26T22:06:40.607+02:00I enjoyed your story about the olives and I do agr...I enjoyed your story about the olives and I do agree with you that "luxury" is not necessarily something gawdy and expensive, but anyhting that makes you feel really good and provides you with a feeling of joy and well-being. Julien Gracq is one of me favourite writer. I hope you enjoyed his book. My favourite is "La Presqu'île".CATHYnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219646897587177986.post-55688867355956193552011-04-18T12:07:01.666+02:002011-04-18T12:07:01.666+02:00David, I like your little adventure with olives an...David, I like your little adventure with olives and I feel the same about luxury<br />i understand luxury as those small things and moments that give me la joi de vivre!!!<br />i hope that you had enjoyed Lulian Gracq and your olives.<br /><br />MontseUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08834006762995317801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219646897587177986.post-41268939945374367492011-04-15T20:34:43.032+02:002011-04-15T20:34:43.032+02:00Mmh !

I was taping on my computer when suddenly I decided to get my running shoes… Once arrived at the top of Avize I started to run. Yes ! A huge feeling of freedom, no noise, some birds, Spring was there too. A perfect moment !<br />With some hindsight I guess Luxury is a kind of freedom for getting some pleasure from simple things of Life.<br />Cheers Davidolivierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13125072562865576407noreply@blogger.com
