Great Masters of Dutch painting : read your way through Rembrandt, Vermeer and Van Gogh @TheRitualofReading

The Ritual of Reading I've been dreaming of a Dutch Spring for years, and finally I had it.
But in order to prepare for it, I started months ago, with a pile of books and some strong coffee on the side.
Join me in a series of videos dedicated to reading and being inspired by the Netherlands.
In this second episode, I'm exploring the lives of three famous Dutch painters : Rembrandt, Vermeer and Van Gogh.
We'll talk books and museums, and the quotes are collectors ! So grab a glass and let's go.

Books at the Table : Gourmet Rhapsody by Muriel Barbery

The Ritual of Reading 2023-04-23 | You already know my love for food memoirs, the inspiration I get from the beautiful descriptions of food, from the simplest to the most complex culinary creations.
But today, I'm taking you on a fictional gourmet adventure, with Muriel Barbery and her debut novel Une gourmandise, translated as Gourmet Rhapsody.
She's of course famous for her second novel, The elegance of the hedgehog, but I found her debut to be the most elegant and volatile tribute to the art of eating in France.
So join me in a tour of the novel and of the best ice cream you can find in Paris, chez Berthillon. Allons-y !

What I learned from books EP 3 : the music of Mihail Sebastian

The Ritual of Reading 2023-02-12 | What I learned from books is a series of videos that presents both fiction and nonfiction books that have had a significant impact on my life.
Lessons about the world or myself, eye opening subjects and a-ha moments, welcome to my most precious reads.
In this third episode, I am exploring my relationship with classical music and the role that Romanian writer Mihail Sebastian has played in my musical education.

Scandinavian Advent Calendar DAY 24 : Christmas in the Tivoli Gardens

The Ritual of Reading 2022-12-24 | Welcome to The Ritual of Reading's Advent Calendar 2022 !
I invite you to open a little window into the Scandinavian culture, with each video I publish this December.
Every evening at 8.30pm (Paris time) I will upload a book review or a Scandi inspired activity to honour the five countries that excel in winter living : Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Iceland.
I apologise if I may butcher some pronunciations, know that this project comes from pure curiosity and research, so the experts may find some possible improvements.
So, without further ado, let the festivities begin !
Happy Advent, everyone !
