Members of the reading circle have chosen to discuss *Croire. Sur les pouvoirs de la littérature* by Justine Augier, the guest of honor at the upcoming Lettres d’automne festival.

Book Presentation In an era rife with threats and looming shadows, while circling a book intended to affirm the power of language, Justine Augier finds her project—writing about literature as a site of engagement—colliding with her mother’s illness and, soon after, her death. As the very nature of urgency shifts, the personal and the universal intertwine in a text of profound precision and insight. It is a work that chooses to believe in the strength of words, the sacred value of their meaning, and their enactment—in the powers of literature. Ultimately, it transforms every reader into a figure of resistance. "Literature is that vital surge of the imagination we need so desperately." — Justine Augier. *Croire. Sur les pouvoirs de la littérature* [To Believe: On the Powers of Literature] by Justine Augier (Actes Sud; winner of the 2023 *Madame Figaro* Grand Prix de l’Héroïne). Free with reservation Audience: General public
