En mêlant récits fictifs, faits d'actualité et culture populaire, Charles Robin rend accessibles les idées des plus grands penseurs, de l'Antiquité à nos jours.

Dans la vie d'un avocat, il y a des plaidoiries qu'on n'oublie pas. Elles vous obsèdent des mois, vous réveillent la nuit, vous rendent malade puis vous marquent pour toujours. C'était le 8 février 2007, il a fallu sauter dans le vide. Un tribunal est une arène, un théâtre du réel, le cadre de l'Histoire qui s'écrit, mais le sait-on ? Pour ce « procès des caricatures », nous étions passionnés, complices, angoissés, heureux de défendre notre cause. Charlie Hebdo a gagné contre les intégristes, le droit à l'irrévérence a triomphé, mais les dix années qui ont suivi ont été tragiques.

The Icelandic tradition of Jólabókaflóð, or the "Christmas Book Flood," stands as a testament to a nation’s enduring love for the written word. This cultural phenomenon, which sees the majority of books in Iceland published and purchased in the final months of the year, is more than a mere commercial cycle; it is a fundamental pillar of Icelandic identity. To understand the Jólabókaflóð, one must look toward the intersection of geographic isolation, historical necessity, and a deep-seated literary heritage that stretches back to the medieval Sagas.
