Douro Editions "Through reading, we become absent from ourselves and our own lives." Alphonse Karr
Marie-Céline RAY

Marie-Céline Ray, a doctor of molecular microbiology and a graduate in life and earth sciences, is a science journalist specializing in health and nutrition. Born in 1975 in Lyon, she lives in a village in Bugey, in the Ain department. In 2018, she published Infections, the treatment of the last chance with Souccar. With News of the Invisible, she signed her first work of fiction, which demonstrates her interest in unexplained phenomena.

The sixteen short stories that make up this collection take you to meet characters from our time: a secretary, a real estate agent, a student, a computer scientist, a journalist, young children, and even a very old tree! All are confronted with a benevolent invisible: apparitions, dreams, premonitions, thought journeys through time, encounters with the people they were, will be, or could have been, the presence of ghosts, a house that cries when the happy family who lived there for years moves (unless it's just the sound of pipes)... This work, filled with delicacy and profound simplicity, bears witness with tact and accuracy to this invisible that surrounds us and that only those who make the small effort to believe in it and open up to it perceive.
