From Tréguier in 1903 to the battle of Bir Hakeim in 1942, The Sleeper of Ephesus (Tallandier) by Xavier Accart, magazine editor Pray, crosses the great History and that of a father and his son whom fate has separated. Between quest for redemption, revolt, love passion, and call to God, a melancholic journey from Brittany to the East which also tells of French Catholicism of the first half of the 20th century.
With Untie them and bring them to me (Fayard), father Alexandre Siniakov reveals his passion for horses. In the seminary of which he is the young rector in the Paris region, two donkeys and several horses are his companions for walking and prayer. With his equines, the young Orthodox monk, who came from a Caucasian sovkhoz, reconnects with the Cossack past of his ancestors and realizes his dreams of youth.
