The importance of the ability to speak is well established! From the journalist behind the camera, to the lawyer in front of the judge, to the politician in front of the voter, the doctor in front of the patient, the teacher in front of the pupil or even the pastor in front of the faithful, the practice of speech remains inescapable. Eloquence is a refined, sublimated, refined and enlightened form of speech, based on functional communication in search of conviction and persuasion. It's the practice of speaking out of the ordinary. Its importance today is indisputable if we are to excel in society. This book "au chevet des Mots", which retraces a voice's pilgrimage along the path of eloquence, is particularly aimed at students wishing to embark on the path of eloquence through their voices. But it may also be of interest to novices, and even to those who have mastered the art of words, for it is said that we learn every day. This modest work is intended to be simple, concise and precise, sparing the reader the detours, contours and literary edges of the subject matter, and getting straight to the heart of it.
