Grasset and the threat against books

I watched yesterday C ce soir and listened this morning to France Culture about the firing of Olivier Nora at Grasset:
Olivier Nora viré par Bolloré : où va le monde de l’édition ?
Le limogeage d’Olivier NORA de la prestigieuse maison d’édition GRASSET qu’il dirigeait depuis plus de 25 ans, par son actionnaire Vincent BOLLORÉ available until May 2026.
Our world is crazy but there is also hope (Orban has lost). Fragile hope against the powerful people who have power and money.

When I was a teenager, on a late evening, I saw a very strange movie. Firemen were burning books. I quickly understood it was an adaptation of Fahrenheit 451. But I only discovered at the end that the moviemaker was François Truffaut. The final scene is beautiful and moving. Here is is. Please watch it to honor Olivier Nora.


and why not add the final score

Shame on illiberal people!
