A reading list in response to the Paris attacks

The Syndicat de la librairie française (the French booksellers’ association) has put out a reading list of books to read following the terrorist atacks in Paris. The list is, of course, in French and nearly all the books are non-fiction, though there is one fiction work I have read: Mathias Enard‘s Boussole [Compass], not yet available in English but surely will be, sooner or later. Most of the books were originally written in French and I have not found any translated into English (though I have not checked every title). The list does include Stefan Zweig’s The Right to Heresy; Castellio against Calvin, translated from the German.
