Qu’aimer c’est apprendre à lire et que lire c’est apprendre à aimer. La littérature est un savoir un savoir vivre
Frédéric Ferney
Frédéric Ferney est écrivain, critique et passeur de littérature. Agrégé d’anglais, il a marqué la télévision avec Le Bateau livre, émission culte qui fit voguer les auteurs et les lecteurs sur la Seine. Chroniqueur à France Culture et auteur d’essais remarqués — de La Comédie littéraire à L’Amour de la lecture —, il célèbre les écrivains d’hier et d’aujourd’hui avec une plume à la fois élégante, ironique et profondément humaine. Ferney voit dans la lecture un acte de liberté et de résistance : un refuge contre le bruit du monde, et une invitation à garder vivante la conversation des livres.

Biographie
Growing up, I was always fascinated by the power of words. Whether it was the way a simple phrase could evoke deep emotions or how a story could transport me to another world, I found solace in the pages of books. Writing became my sanctuary, a place where I could explore my thoughts and feelings, crafting tales that reflected the world around me and the one within. However, the journey to becoming a writer was far from easy. I faced countless rejections, moments of self-doubt, and the ever-present fear of not being good enough. Yet, each setback only fueled my determination to succeed.
I poured my heart into every manuscript, learning and growing with each word I wrote. Eventually, my persistence paid off, and my first novel was published. The overwhelming response from readers confirmed that I was on the right path. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my stories with a global audience, each book a new chapter in my journey as a writer.
