In the tone of a letter to a friend, the anthropologist Françoise Héritier champions the small joys that give flavour to existence: images, emotions and moments of memory that enrich everyday life and that, according to the author, nothing and no one can take away.

For readers of essays and anthropology who want a brief and poetic reflection, in French, on the essentials of everyday life.
Françoise Héritier was a French anthropologist, ethnologist, and feminist. She was the successor to Claude Lévi-Strauss to hold the chair of anthropology at the Collège de France, and held the inaugural chair of Comparative Study of African Societies from 1983. Her work dealt mainly with the theory of alliances and on the prohibition of incest, both theories based on the notion of exchange of women. In addition to Lévi-Strauss, she was also influenced by Alfred Radcliffe-Brown.
