In awarding him the Nobel Prize in 2008, the Swedish Academy hailed J. M. G. Le Cl zio as an "author of new departures, poetic adventure and sensual ecstasy, explorer of humanity beyond and below the reigning civilisation." The outlying humanity that Le Cl zio explores in this collection of stories finds its expression in the understanding of children. The world of Mondo and Other Stories is that of a natural world pushed to the margins by complacent, indifferent modernity. Haunting and beautiful, these stories speak to a universal longing for a life beyond the confines and trappings of modern existence. In each tale it is a child who can see and appreciate these places filled with wonder and knowledge. Mondo is a little boy whose connection to the beauty in everything unites a seaside town. Little Cross perturbs the order of things with her question: "What is blue? Daniel flees his stifling school and absent parents for the sea. All these children, like the wise billy goat in the collection's final story, understand "so many things, not the things you find in books that men like to talk about but silent, strong things, things full of beauty and mystery." And in the end, so do we.Binding Type: Paperback

Great quality of product
Size: 1.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This cream has always been my favorite because it has great quality and effectiveness, I bought it two times and before I used to wear it in the summer and it did not make my skin oily. It is lighter, yet moisturizing if you know what I mean.

This is the new formula, with a blue cap
Size: 1.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This cream has been a great basic moisturizer for use with acne creams (.25% tretinoin, in my case). You may notice some reviewers saying it's fake because of the blue cap and the fact that it just says "soothing," but that's the new packaging. You can see that on the Avene website.
This doesn't have the "luxe" feel of some other brands, but this did the job by keeping my skin moisturized and acne free. When I am in the mood to buy something else, I usually buy something else, but this is the best budget option - definitely better than any of the drugstore brands.

Leaves skin clean and soft
Size: 4.98 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Leaves skin clean and soft and much to my surprise did not make my skin break out even though more traditional cleansers often do. This is a really nice product, better than more expensive department store brands I've tried.

Amazing product that I continue to order again and again!
Size: 4.98 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Amazing product that I continue to order again and again! I love the formula of this product! It is perfect for using as a first wash to gently remove makeup or dirt build up before washing with another cleanser. It is great for people with dry skin or if you wear a lot of powder makeup or powder on top of foundation, and it is great for removing mascara and heavy eye makeup as well. It is great for sensitive skin, and I feel like it is super gentle & made with clean ingredients. Bioderma is a brand I trust, and this is a product I will continue to restock!
