The day I learned to live - Laurent Gounelle

Successful in your profession. Stable in your life. You own a roof, and some things... but you are not completely satisfied. There is something missing, or perhaps something extra. You are not alone in this state of dissatisfaction. Jonathan is like you. Or at least, he was like you, until one day a gypsy took his hand. She suggested reading his fortune, and he agreed out of amusement... until her face suddenly contracted, and she said things about him that no one wants to hear about themselves. From that moment, the big questions were born, and the search for the essence began amidst a pile of things. About the self amidst the noise. From that moment, Jonathan's journey that has no return began. His true life... Description of Jamalon: "When we accept death, we free ourselves from fear and illusion, we allow ourselves to be as we are, express what we truly feel, and live what we want to live happily." Distance from appearances and materialism, and the importance of kindness, social solidarity, and returning to nature—these can summarize the main theme of the novel.
