Fnac Conference with Jean-Pierre Luminet, about his latest book “The Secret of Copernicus”
Saturday, June 10, 2006 at 6 PM at the Grand Hotel Aston
Promenade des Anglais and Gardens Albert 1st – Free Entry
Fnac invites you to its Conference/Meeting with Jean-Pierre Luminet, about his latest book “The Secret of Copernicus”.
The life of Nicolas Copernicus is worthy of a great novel, here it is.
Born in Poland at the end of the 15th century at the time when the Teutonic Knights were fighting their last battles, Nicolas Copernicus became an orphan early. His uncle, the bishop of Prussian Emerland, would open wide the doors of the University, the Churches, of Knowledge…
And in the midst of the enormous upheavals of the time, political and religious – particularly with the birth of the Reformation – Copernicus revolutionized the organization of the Cosmos as established by Ptolemy and Aristotle. The universe no longer revolves around the Earth. The sun becomes the center of our world.
From the alleyways of Krakow to the universities of Bologna and Florence, from the observatories of Nuremberg to the corridors of the Vatican, traveling with Duhret to the intrigues of the Farnese, this novel vividly mixes science and history, propelling us to the heart of an era of great changes and enlightening us on the theological and scientific debates of these transformative times.

The Music Festival organized by the Fnac of Nice and Monaco
Wednesday, June 21, 2006 starting at 7 PM
Trophée d’Auguste à La Turbie
Free and Open Entry
Following the pattern of the last three editions focused on classical and jazz, Fnac has once again chosen to theme the Music Festival, not to a genre, but to multiple genres, those of World Music.
The Fnacs of Monaco and Nice, in partnership with Monum, invite you to meet on June 21 from 7 PM under the Trophée d’Auguste in La Turbie for a Music Festival dedicated to World Music.
On the Program:
Caligagan
Equally comfortable in soul, funk, reggae, or pop, Caligagan lets itself be carried by the styles and mixes them with pleasure in its first album “Seven Languages”.
Gian Maria Testa, the Italian who loves strings and brass, Latin echoes, jazz tempos, elegant ballads. The instrumentalists surrounding him display a sparkling musicality without ostentation. His voice nestles in to whisper loves and beyond, sharing and rain, winter flowers and summer fireflies.
Rona Hartner, the muse of Tony Gatlif, arrived in France with Gadjo Dilo. It was from this first film that the musical vocation of this Romanian actress was forged. She dreamed of unprecedented fusions between the mix of music she discovered in Paris and her Roma culture.

Les interpréter, les comprendre” (Ed. Robert Laffont) by proposing a method of interpreting memories. He encourages us to practically test his method and sets an example by sharing three memories and the analysis he made of them. At the end of this reading, the world of memories will have no more secrets for you…
