Les 11es nuits de la lecture

The public will be invited to take part in a wide range of events centred on the theme of ‘Childhood’.
A recurring theme in literature across the globe, childhood is a motif that transcends eras and cultural boundaries. Whether in founding myths and tales, coming-of-age novels, poetry, contemporary works, comic books or children’s literature, it occupies a central place. By exploring this period of life, writers examine the formation of identity, an individual’s roots and their connections with the world.
As a realm of memory, imagination and sensitivity, childhood is the starting point for early experiences, formative emotions and the discovery of both oneself and others.
