In La Grande Librairie, the show delves into the concept of humanity in light of artificial intelligence and a society increasingly divided by differing perspectives. The program aims to uncover what brings people together and strengthens their connections. François Cheng, a 97-year-old poet and academic, has contributed an unpublished letter that celebrates the power of language and love in the face of death, which will be featured alongside the program. The episode also includes an epistolary exchange between members of the Goncourt Academy, Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt and Pierre Assouline, along with philosopher Abdennour Bidar. They discuss themes of fraternity and potential conflict among individuals of different faiths, as explored in the book A Jew, a Christian, a Muslim: Fraternal or Fratricidal? (Albin Michel). Sibylle Grimbert continues her exploration of life's challenges in The Great Interruption (Seuil), a futuristic story that follows a child in a ruined world and the role of artificial intelligence. Sarah Tadlaoui's debut novel, Believe in the Code (Héloïse d'Ormesson), examines the loss of human qualities in a world dominated by technology. Pascal Chabot discusses how language can serve as a form of resistance in such a context. In Our Encapsulated Lives (PUF), philosopher Pascal Chabot reflects on the impact of constant screen use on modern life, offering alternative paths through nature, art, and books. The program will close with an unpublished text from Irish novelist Colum McCann, who recently published What Touches Us Beneath the Surface (Belfond). This piece reflects on human distress in an age of hyper-connection. This week’s episode focuses on Guingamp in the Côtes-d'Armor, where efforts are being made to save the endangered bookstore Mots et Images, which has been in operation for nearly 30 years. Bookseller Cécile Vignon will discuss the bookstore's importance and share her favorite books of the literary season.
