-On September the 2nd, first day of the Xth Biannual Congress of the ESCL: « Le Jeu: Gaming, Gambling and Play in Literature » in Paris at the Sorbonne University, we were honoured to have PIERRE BRUNEL (Académie des Sciences morales et politiques et membre de l’Academia Europaea) delivering his lecture Jeux Odysséens et Jeux sur l’Odyssée chaired by Paul Salome (University College Dublin).

„En cette période des Jeux, il était tentant d’aborder ce sujet en littérature, et plus particulièrement en littérature comparée. On peut passer d’Ovide, au premier siècle après Jésus-Christ, imaginant une longue lettre que Pénélope aurait écrite à Ulysse en son absence, à un romancier français d’aujourd’hui, Pierre-Marie Beaude qui lui a consacré trois romans et l’a imaginé en Normandie, jouant sur la plage de sa propre enfance.”
