1)-Monsieur the Apothecary


 


Born somewhere in the south from France on the banks of the Rhone, Joel Médina alias the Apothecary, ebullient, turbulent and in love with the life like all the grass artists, knows an agitated youth.

Very early it tires its Masters who will return well it to him. The little which it learns first of all, it is by reading books. It opens them by idleness on the roofs of its city, such lizard with the sun, by deserting its courses from college. When it does not go straightforwardly to fishing or does not play of the violin...

It discovers Yoga and Far-Eastern wisdom at twenty years, however that it continues through all the country one initiatory septennate which will lead it until Ocland, a mysterious faculty. It will be crowned there imbecilo-mathematico-rigologist. But how the fossils of Pythagoras go to the devil ! The Apothecary breaks then with his torturers with learned sufficiency and withdraws himself in his kingdom of Chrysoland.

He currently lives in company of his cat Siamese Mowgli and his best friend, the famous Werewolf. With their complicity, it tries to compose the alchemical beverage which will deliver the humanity of the plague of the stupidity and some other sisters. The hermit consigns his observations of laboratory on black books of which he wants to reveal us well certain mysteries.

Considering the extent of the task undertaken and the extraordinary variety of the human madnesses, we fear, alas, that it did not finish prevailing.

2)-Category of the tonics




Music.

I understand by tonics of the texts to fast prose and the constant action. They are read in three blows of salt box and are appropriate to pressed people, as with those whom the cups of tea of academician tire. Or with the average teenager.

Admittedly, as a good geometrician, I will not contradict the old proverb : the shortest way is often the best. But it is good sometimes to leave the motorway, and to go themselves to randomly lose a little in the back-country unforeseen secondary roads and meetings, in order to better find itself.

This is why, the mad one of motor bike in front of the Eternal who I am having surveyed all the hexagon in few years, it was fatal that I would write one day: Robin d' Ardèche, novel of 154 pages. Read on line or download an extract with format pdf Adobe Reader --25 p., 588 KB It is free.

The bottom coloured, rather than black on white, it is for more comfort with the screen. It varies from one text to another. Question of personality. One particularly recommends the mode to you "full screen", scale 100%. To tell the truth, that is still better with the free navigator Firefox, my preferred fox of fire.

Let us note that the duel of banjos of this famous film goes like a glove to our modern parody of Robin Hood. Perhaps you will be likely to listen to this rare pearl while using of Mercora IMRadio. The author is called Eric Weissberg. 
 

    A summary ? Do not make like the man who saw the man, who saw the bear : download the extract and walk you in the forest. To buy, it is at the heading Your treatment, if not, look at already by-there.

3)-Category of the purgatives




Some are purged with the root of
Iboga; others go to Amazonia drinking famous Ayahuasca, while some people in India are posed on the head. One can also scan his unconsciousby the oneiric way and restick the pieces after a fashion by means of his feather. Exists books which one can only write lying.

Dreamwaked up or chamanic travels, the question will not be distinct. Does one imagine, remembers one, or see us parallel worlds ? Who knows it ? That is not shown nor is not photographed.

These texts, following the example emetic wine which disencumbered the stomach of a cumbersome burden, purge us the heart by revealing us its hidden depths. They represent a long incursion into the underground memories. They are our Atlantisinterior. A place of rough emotions where the infernal one and the marvellous one are at side one of the other. Elves, werewolf, fauna, witch, dark forest, invented language, runicspeculation, magic crystal, extraterrestrial, dragons and griffins, all is there.

Time there is suspended, solidified or undulatory, and if it is known how to penetrate in such labyrinths, no one does not know the means of leaving there intact. It is necessary always well to chew to read them, never not to hasten the step.

Also my odd temperament early had it or to late push me to try out this particular dimension of my conscience. And although I still did not understand it ten years after having been confined about it, waiting patiently that it is explained to me, I put at the world this improbable being full with immodestie :
The Search of Aldoran, mythological novel of 296 pages. Read on line or download an extract with format pdf Adobe Reader --28 p., 754 KB. Without anything to pay, lucky devil ! To privilege a scale 100%.

The bottom is coloured rather than black on white (except two very conceptual passages), and it is desired : at the end of one hour of reading to the screen, one will understand why. And then on the Zoranius planet the men have the blue skin, then...

  A summary ? Does one put the Ocean in a bucket ? Read the extract and swim. To get the animal, the methods are explained at the heading Your treatment,
but see already
this.

4)-Category of the elixirs





An elixir is generally a strong and concentrated medicine obtained by a series of distillations of a primary product. It delivers all the flavour, all quintessence to us, and titrates of it high out of alcohol. Drop by drop, while being twisted in a serpentine of laboratory assistant, it sublimated since the gently heated still. Low dose is enough so that the vapors ascend us to the brain, then, be careful with intoxication...

Certain travels cause such upheavals. In India, for example, or in Peru. Certain texts too. Here, no literature, no artistic pose, but general philosophy ; one takes the elevator and one will see God opposite. Even if it is with humour. We confront ourselves with our interrogations first which return at the mind, still, still, and still. The questions are multiplying, but the answers, they, are never final. No imports : essence, it was the route, not the conclusion.

In this vein, one will be able to read : Revealed India,  philosophical novel of 138 pages. Read on line or download free a sample with format pdf Adobe Reader --13 p., 890 KB To privilege a scale 100%.

The pale orange color of the bottom rather than black on white, it is deliberated matter. To return to blind men my readers, it is not my vision of the things. And then in India, the monks pilgrims drape orange tunic. When they naked will not announce, to put in the sound environment of the book, this page BBC Radio  Player where you will find your happiness in the category "Browse: Asian Network ----> Devotionals Sounds, Hindu. " The nostalgic ones will be able to listen to cinematographic extracts while clicking on Mother India. In condition, of course, to download Real Player.


    A summary ? No the royal way for people in a hurry. Do you believe that one learns this in only one day ? Then ? But if you have the fever purchaser, here a first impression.

5)-Category of the ointments



It happens sometimes that one reads or that one writes to remake a new skin, or to remember that one was younger. Freshness, frankness, characterize this kind of work. One roves there a little to thoughtless, without precise goal. It is as if one did a pomade anti-wrinkle or
an ointmentto relax the muscles at the one day evening filled well.

Thus I wrote : The Insane one which sells Wisdom, philosophical farce of 126 pages. And I was quite young, indeed. Doctor Enfoyrus of the Faculty of Ocland, which took to me in affection, wanted well to offer me a brilliant Preface. I thank it. It is the matter of a mysterious stork which him parachute a manuscript in elegant way.

 You will be able to read it on line, or to download it (the Foreword, not the stork) for free with format pdf Adobe Reader --12 p., 1 715 KB. Do you guess the color of the document, this time ? To privilege a scale 100%.

To prepare with the internal logic of this literary Schmilblic, discover the universe of a mysterious Flemishpainter, the same one as in first of cover. That gives an idea.

  A summary ?It is a book. Read it. If not, there is PayPal, and it is rather not badly.

6)-The large combination


The music softens manners : click here initially.

However thus, the only preparations which you will not find in our dispensary, they are the laxatives. You will catch up with yourselves in certain booksellers. Indeed, the beachcomber of the literatures guaranteed by the multinationals of the edition and the Philistines sweep all on its passage. Smooth and well moulded texts. Manufacture with the punch, massacres Canadian forests, complicities between advertising advertisers and groups of press, a beautiful bazaar !

A system which evacuates the author to reduce it to a small servile writer or to a calf of intensive breeding, and a whole colic of people receiving benefits who decide in the place of the reader of what must be beautiful and presentable. Consumable, rather. I spend, therefore I am. Which makes fun one, frankly? Even time of Voltaire, the writers were freer, even with risk to collect some drubbing. There existed of the Knight of Rohan equipped with enough spirit to shout with their servants : "do not strike with the head, it can still leave something it good !"

And it returns to me in memory the words of Fauna bonesetter or of Adam the ancestor, I forgot (the Search of Aldoran, category purgative) : "They make me laugh, those of now, with their paper ! To entrust its ideas to a material of which one is used for oneself especially to wipe the bottom, it is not to fear the ridiculous one and to doubt nothing. With the first rain, Time will gum them of its register. "
But is paper or not paper, a reason to do work of pig, I require it of you ?

It is this indignation which led me to compose and manufacture a volume which would not resemble any known : Adventures of Doctor Enfoyrus, illustrated philosophical novel, Avignon, 1996, ISBN 2911344006, 293 pages, Great Price of the Almanac of the Werewolf. Do not buy especially where point the ISBN, one sells it to you at price scarcity of collection and it costs the skin of the bottom. Me, I get it to you by correspondence for 20 euros less, port included, original edition, not-soiled, at the heading : Your treatment

What does it contain, this worthy black book ?  Imagine, if you can it, a synthesis of INSANE WHO SELLS the WISDOM and  REVEALED INDIA decorated of a procession of delirious illustrations, where each character would have his dedicated bill of character. Not convinced ? Look at there. Puffing out paper, ink sepia, monochromic cover with the engraving of Bruegel the Old man who opens the site in the foreground. Madness, that one says to you !

But most romantic, it is the history of its design. That one, I will never tell it to you because you would not believe me...
Just this small detail for the setting in mouth : a beautiful morning, my paper maker delivered by error two tons of paper in my model maker and the window with this elephant smashed to him. I will not say any more. With thee-books, at least, one does not undergo the inertia of the matter. And the Web, that further carries than the blowpipe from Télécons.


Lastly, of manner of service of press, here what I wrote at the time with the two hundred journalists to which I had offered a specimen and which thanked me with five articles --no comment : 


Mister the Ambassador of the Literature,

No, the book that I propose to you today is not that of a Parisian editor, and we will comfort ourselves some. No, it does not emanate from a famous writer to the thousand recognized talents that the genius would prevent from sleeping or would deaden the others. But if, without too much supposing your forces nor of your patience, I request that you warn the public of the birth of this work as of what it is advisable to say, it is that I know that by entrusting it to your expert hands, one withdraws it from the sight of an imbecile of less. By thanking you for your media comprehension ; Yours sincerely, dear Sir, and with soon, perhaps : successes of the writing open to me the window.

The Apothecary



And further adding, so that the suicide was more complete,


Admittedly, in your districts nobody invites me :
I am not those which a godfather recommends,
Hugues de Margoulin or Jean de Brocéliande ;
But all alone I fight to raise my voice
Above the herd of the works still-born children,
In this immense sea with dubious contours,
Pandemonium the insane ones, exaggerated minute-books,
Where I plunged my heart and hope the one morning.

The force of the subject is worth although one stops there,
It is the work of anxious, of an Absolute the search.
If one reads it from the end to the prelude,
The life of a very learned scientist will be known
Who lost one fine day all his certainty,
Because it had built on moving sand.


I save the continuation to you, because that is not arranged.
Young people who now read me, never do that. You would bail out ten years of purgatory.


    A summary ? Unrepentant consumers and DraculaS of motorway, flee our den ! Mowgli and me, we declare you this.

7)-Your treatment




                  

My texts are like the elegant women, they do not like to say their age. Some are fifteen years old or others four, but no imports : they belong to the moment when read them to you. Hay of the classification ! Let us leave that with the scientists of college.

Being given the size of the files, certain books will be broken up into several files of to the more 2 Mo to restick with the reception. The Search, in particular, weighs more than 13 Mo ! This is why it would be more judicious to order it out of CD (see with)).


            c) -Modes of payment :

That is to say you the order by French bank draft or mandate, and I to me address you "e-maile" your files as of the validated cashing. Do not forget, in your purchase order which you can to me send e-mail, to print or recopy, to specify your electronic address, or that of a possible friend to me ! For all the residents of zone EUROLAND and only these, I accept the electronic payment via the PayPal system. Even those which do not have a PayPal account but a simple bank card can use this system, flexible and encrypted with 128 bits, connection SSL. Idem, that above : as of confirmation of payment on behalf of PayPal, I you "e-maile". Do not forget, parallel to your payment, of me "e-mailer" your purchase order and to specify the electronic address of delivery !



        2-by the Post office


            a) -Files pdf on CD :

All the possibilities of the 1-a) and 1-b) above mentioned are valid, but that one buys one or more works, they all will be recorded on the same CD, and the total amount of the order will not be raised in spite of the overcost. Payment by the Post office, only French bank draft or mandate, possibly PayPal. Mandate only, and with the French tariff for the Swiss ones, if they make out in euros ; the Inhabitants of Quebec will pay by international mandate, PayPal  too, with 6 euros of increase of the total amount, as well as the DOM.


            b) -Deliver paper, original edition, classified rare part :

# 30,50 euros, ADVENTURES OF DOCTOR ENFOYRUS by the Post office, French bank draft , mandate, or PayPal. To add 6 euros for the Inhabitants of Quebec and the DOM (Postal cheque, mandate, like PayPal).

60,00 euros all the batch port included by correspondence (paper + 4 files pdf color on 1 CD delivers), that is to say less than the price of a good meal at the restaurant which lasts only two hours and will make you grow bigger or will return to you sick.

For the Inhabitants of Quebec (and the DOM), for any order to add 6 euros on the whole. They can in particular use PayPal. The latter will appreciate the Search particularly, because of its parlure.
For the countries different from those mentioned up to now, any order without exception will be done by postal mail, and any payment by mandate with the order of :


    Joel MEDINA,
    12, Rue du Luberon
    84000 AVIGNON
    FRANCE METROPOLITAN
    EUROPE
    WORLD
    SOLAR SYSTEM
    GALAXY
   UNIVERSE.


To any useful end, we recall that : 1,00 euro = 1,56 Swiss frank = 1,41 Canadian dollar. And one can always worry about the evolution of the rate of exchange of the currencies by here. A riddle : is a number located between 1 and 2, singular or plural ? Ah !

For the DOM-TOM, same prices as the Inhabitants of Quebec. But they can pay by postal cheque, rather than by mandate. By PayPal, with the rigour, if they "e-mailent" this purchase order.

For the Adélie coast of the Antarctic, to consult me by courriel. For the Senegaleses, I exchange all the batch by air-mail way after reception of a malette decorated out of tinplate with reasonable size. For the Gabonese one, a Fang mask blessed by Nganga authenticates would be welcome. For Morocco, one liter of oil of black cumin will make the deal perfectly. If a Hindu hears me since Jaipur, that it dispatches me Nataraja, dancing Shiva, or a kâthar, the magic dagger which one sees in a "Tintin". Not in the back, preferably.

It goes without saying that the Adventures of Doctor Enfoyrus are indexed on the price of Extra Brushed Truffle, and consequently are prone to strong fluctuations. And I pay homage to Jean Guenot, the last French writer with old before the disappearance of the species, for this lucky find. A Master.


Note for the use of in love with the laws

In addition to it does not have to beg its right to the free expression, the author who publishes himself is not assimilated to a tradesman. He does not have thus to be registered with the Trade register and is fixed with no tax. He must simply pay the income tax noncommercial, if he makes some. He is classified in the category of Creations and Interprétations Literary and Artistic. Let us add that the perenniality of the rights is maintained up to 70 years after its death via its heirs.


Recall

Extracts of the French law on the author's copyright and artistic (Law n°57-298 of March 11, 1957, modified by the law n° 85-660 of July 3, 1985) Article 19 : "the author has only the right to reveal his work." (Law n°85-660 of July 3, 1985, art.6)"Subject to the provisions of article 63-1, it determines the process of disclosure and fixes the conditions of this one.../..." Article 21 : "the author enjoys, his life during, of the exclusive right to exploit his work in some form that it is and to benefit pecuniary.../..." from it

Conclusion

Then the "majors", you can go well like the large ones, where even the king goes all alone. As sings it to you with talent certain Sam, "to download, it is illegal". It would incarnate the role of Alain Quedale, known as Ménestrel, in ROBIN Of ARDECHE, that that would not astonish me. Premonition. I add for crafty one that the site "apothicaire.fr" is copyrighted, "the authenticated Apothecary" and marks deposited. As for the cat, it east VACCINATES and TATTOOS.

Mowgli, my best friend with four legs, and perhaps my best friend in general, agreed to take part in this meeting of dedication. It enabled me to affix my claw of author on his royal icons.
