Pendant que Perceval tombait : poésie (Les Herbes rouges / Poésie)
By Tania Langlais. 2020
Mourir ne dure qu’un instant. Mais la douleur, lancinante, comme les vagues, recule pour mieux frapper de nouveau, recule et…
frappe encore. «Tout cela se passe en une journée.» Une chute à cheval, le fleuve qui recrache un cadavre, «un fantôme à discipliner», une longue promenade à travers les champs, la promesse du repos. Dans ces poèmes obstinés, Tania Langlais distribue les vers comme les cartes d’un tarot. Une histoire se dessine au gré de leurs agencements. Cette histoire, c’est celle de la dernière journée de Virginia Woolf, «le plus beau suicide / de la littérature anglaise»; celle de Perceval, le mort muet de son roman Les vagues; et c’est aussi autre chose, une souffrance tenace qui ne se dévoile que par éclats. Au son du galop du cheval qui se répercute dans la mémoire, le temps comprimé déploie ses faces. Tout cela se passe en une journéeMes Combats
By Col. René Fonck, Maréchal Ferdinand Foch. 2017
« Le simple récit de ses combats, véritables exploits épiques accomplis dans les airs, donne un exemple des activités, des…
énergies, des vertus, mises en jeux dans les luttes nationales de nos jours. Par là cet ouvrage indique aux générations à venir la hauteur morale où elles doivent monter leur préparation à la guerre, ce qui est, dans la paix, leur devoir. » Préface du Maréchal Foch.Bruit & Réflexions de sons
By James Lawless, Leslie Pierobon. 2015
What noise? What will happen when it gets into our heads? In Thoughts of sounds, a hilarious history marked by…
pathos, James Lawless sends his typical humorous way some of the effects of noise on contemporary society. This news is followed by noise, a decidedly dark poem that explores the devastation that uncontrolled cacophony can inflict on sentient beings.Lumière sur la Forêt Obscure
By James Lawless, Jean-Baptiste Philippot. 2015
Cette monographie est une étude de la poésie prise comme vision alternative de voir le monde et d'appréhender les réalités…
qui offre au lecteur une approche de cette grande altérité qui, souvent nous échappe. Le processus de créativité y est traité. Les influences d'autres disciplines sur l'exacerbation de la conscience y sont décrites et les méthodes d'observation qui ont déjà fait leurs preuves depuis les 100 dernières années y sont élucidées. Une attention particulière est portée à la contribution spécifique de la poésie irlandaise moderne en particulier, quant au rôle du poète dans la société. Les travaux de trois poètes non anglophones (Salinas, Lorca et Pasternak) sont évoqués en détail et leur rôle au sein de leur propre société y est examiné en vue de confirmer la perspicacité poétique avec laquelle ils s'opposent aux forces destructrices de la société qui risque de les mener à leur perte poètes et poésie. La dernière partie de l'ouvrage traite de la poésie comme d'une forme unique d'interprétation d'un monde post-moderne aride et fragmenté.Word betaal vir jou gedigte

By David Smith, Alan Dainard, Claude Helv tius, Jean Orsoni, Marie. 1991
The first two volumes of the Correspondance générale d'Helvétius inspired international acclaim. Now the third volume offers us further insight…
into a variety of aspects of life in eighteenth-century France.Claude-Adrian Helvétius (1715-71) was a wealthy and high-ranking member of French society. He was acquainted with the leading political and social figures of his time and, through family, with the court and government which he occasionally served in a diplomatic capacity. Philosopher, encyclopedist, and author of the explosive De l'Esprit, he and his wife, Anne Catherine de Ligneville, corresponded with the great and influential throughout Europe.The letters in this volume were written between 1761 and 1774, a period in which Helvétius enjoyed the fruits of his fame, travelled to England (1764) and Prussia (1765), and produced two books, Le Bonheur and De l'homme, which were published after his death.Fecondite d'Emile Zola
By David Baguley. 1973
This historical and critical study of Zola's Fécondité contributes much to an understanding of how the novel came to be…
written and of its achievements. Like Travail and Verité, the later books in the series Les Quatre Evangiles, Fécondité has not previously received significant critical attention. This study reveals and interprets the less obvious aspects of the work, its biblical and mythical themes, its sources and genesis. It also adds to our knowledge of Zola's later works through the examination of various ideological currents--particularly the impact of Malthusianism, its proponents and adversaries, and who among them Zola read in preparing this book. Fécondité deals with the particular problem of France's declining birth-rate at the end of the nineteenth century and, more generally, with the problem of decadence and cultural renewal. By the time that he wrote Fécondité, Zola had abandoned his naturalist aesthetic of scientific objectivity, if not also his working methods as a novelist. This study shoes how his didactic concerns continually asserted themselves in the structure and the use of rhetorical techniques in Fécondité. Specialists in Zola, and others more generally interested in the French culture of the late nineteenth century, as well as the particular demographic problems that Zola treats in the work, and the relationship of literature to primitive mythology, should find this study of particular interest.Correspondance générale d'Helvétius, Volume V: Appendices et Index
By David Smith, Alan Dainard, Claude Adrien Helvétius, Jean Orsoni, Peter Allan, Marie-Thérèse Inguenaud, Jonas Steffen. 2004
This fifth and final volume completes the critical edition of the letters of French philosopher Claude Adrien Helvétius (1715-1771), author…
of the controversial De l'Esprit (1758), and of his wife, née Anne Catherine de Ligniville (1722-1800), who ran her own salon in Auteuil after her husband's death. The essential component in this last volume is the detailed index – an indispensable instrument for researchers who wish to make full use of the correspondence. The volume also includes four new letters discovered since the appearance of the first four volumes, errata, additions and modifications to the critical apparatus, the text of letters excluded from the edition proper, genealogies of the families of Helvétius and his wife, and a chronological list of all letters mentioned in the edition. The previous volumes of this edition have enjoyed international acclaim. "All students of the French Enlightenment will be deeply indebted to D.W. Smith and his team for this superbly conceived and organized collaborative achievement. When complete the Toronto Helvétius will rank among the truly outstanding examples of twentieth-century editorial and bibliographical scholarship." (David Williams, French Studies)La Chronique de Robert de Clari: Etude de la langue et du style
By Peter Dembowski. 1963
Robert de Clari (died c. 1220), a member of the Lesser Picard nobility from the vicinity of Amiens, left a…
chronicle of the Fourth Crusade in which he took part. This is an important work in the study of the development of the French language, because it is one of the first original prose texts in French, neither translated from Latin nor resulting from "prosification" of verse-compositions. Professor Dembrowski's study is a close analysis of language and style, revealing Robert de Clari's ability in the narration of short anecdotes and in the reproduction of dialogue. University of Toronto Romance Series, Number 6.The Wise King: A Christian Prince, Muslim Spain, and the Birth of the Renaissance
By Simon R. Doubleday. 2015
"If I had been present at the Creation,” the thirteenth-century Spanish philosopher-king Alfonso X is said to have stated, "Many…
faults in the universe would have been avoided. ” Known as El Sabio, "the Wise,” Alfonso was renowned by friends and enemies alike for his sparkling intellect and extraordinary cultural achievements. In The Wise King, celebrated historian Simon R. Doubleday traces the story of the king’s life and times, leading us deep into his emotional world and showing how his intense admiration for Spain’s rich Islamic culture paved the way for the European Renaissance. In 1252, when Alfonso replaced his more militaristic father on the throne of Castile and León, the battle to reconquer Muslim territory on the Iberian Peninsula was raging fiercely. But even as he led his Christian soldiers onto the battlefield, Alfonso was seduced by the glories of Muslim Spain. His engagement with the Arabic-speaking culture of the South shaped his pursuit of astronomy, for which he was famed for centuries, and his profoundly humane vision of the world, which Dante, Petrarch, and later Italian humanists would inherit. A composer of lyric verses, and patron of works on board games, hunting, and the properties of stones, Alfonso is best known today for his Cantigas de Santa María (Songs of Holy Mary), which offer a remarkable window onto his world. His ongoing struggles as a king and as a man were distilled--in art, music, literature, and architecture--into something sublime that speaks to us powerfully across the centuries. An intimate biography of the Spanish ruler in whom two cultures converged, The Wise King introduces readers to a Renaissance man before his time, whose creative energy in the face of personal turmoil and existential threats to his kingdom would transform the course of Western history.The Collapse: The Accidental Opening of the Berlin Wall
By Mary Elise Sarotte. 2014
The Berlin Wall was erected in 1961 to end all traffic between the city’s two halves: the democratic west and…
the communist east. The iconic symbol of a divided Europe, the Wall became a focus of western political pressure on East Germany; as Ronald Reagan’s famously said in a 1987 speech in Berlin, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” But as award-winning historian Mary Sarotte shows in [Title TK] , the opening of the Wall on November 9, 1989 was not, as is commonly believed, the East German government’s deliberate concession to outside influence. It was an accident. A carelessly worded memo written by mid-level bureaucrats, a bumbling press conference given by an inept member of the East German Politburo, the negligence of government leaders, the bravery of ordinary people in East and West Berlin--these combined to bring about the end of nearly forty years of oppression, fear, and enmity in divided Berlin. When the news broke, Washington and Moscow could only stand by and watch as Tom Brokaw and other journalists narrated the televised broadcast of this critical moment in the thawing of the cold war. Sarotte opens her story in the months leading up to that fateful day. Following East German dissidents, she shows how their efforts coalesced around opposition to the regime’s restrictions on foreign travel. The city of Leipzig, close to the border with Czechoslovakia, became a hothouse of activism, and protests there quickly grew into massive demonstrations. The East German Politburo hoped to limit its citizens’ knowledge of these marches, but two daring dissidents, East Berliners Aram Radomski and Siegbert Schefke, managed to evade the Stasi and film the largest of them from a church tower. They then smuggled their tape to West Germany; broadcast in both nations, the footage galvanized activists across East Germany, and precipitated the stunning developments on November 9. Facing mounting pressure from its own citizens, the East German Politburo planned to put off enacting any meaningful change to its travel policy by issuing a deceptive ruling that would appear to offer more freedom, but which in fact would allow the state to maintain strict control over its citizen’s movements. But the bureaucrats tasked with preparing the "new” regulations misunderstood their task, and instead drafted a declaration that said East Germans could freely leave the country. This declaration ended up in the hands of regime spokesman Günter Schabowski, who announced the rules at a press conference without understanding their import. Stunned reporters were soon broadcasting the news around the world. Crowds of East Germans began streaming to the Wall, prompting a showdown with border guards, who received no support or direction from East German leadership as the throngs multiplied. By 11:30, Harald Jäger, a second-tier passport control officer, had had enough and finally opened the wall to the mob gathering outside his gate. Even though East German forces successfully regained control by the morning, it was too late--for the wall, for the regime, and for Communism in Eastern Europe. Drawing on evidence from archives in multiple countries and languages, along with dozens of interviews with key actors, including Harald Jäger, [Title TK] is the definitive account of the event that brought down the East German Politburo and came to represent the final collapse of the Cold War order.Selected Poems
By Victor Hugo, Brooks Haxton. 2002
For most of his life, Victor Hugo (1802-1885) was the most famous writer in the world. His legacy includes the…
nineteenth century's most celebrated works of drama, fiction, memoir, and criticism. But in his day Hugo was know foremost as a poet-indeed the greatest French poet of the age. He wrote with passion about history, erotic experience, familial love, philosophy, nature, social justice, art, and mysticism. In this new bicentennial edition, acclaimed poet and translator Brooks Haxton offers an exquisite selection of Hugo's finest work: love poems, historical tableaux, elegy, and idyll, including his incomparable "Boaz Asleep," which Marcel Proust praised as the most beautiful poem of the nineteenth century.Correspondance générale d'Helvétius, Volume III: 1761-1774 / Lettres 465-720

By Claude Adrien Helv tius, David Smith, J A Dainard, Jean Orsoni, Marie-Th r se Inguenaud, Peter Allan. 1998
This is the fourth of five volumes of the letters of the French philosopher Claude Adrien Helvétius (1715-1771), author of…
the controversial De l'Esprit (1758). Featuring the correspondence of Mme Helvétius, née Anne Catherine de Ligniville (1722-1800), in the years following her husband's death, this volume also includes letters by and to Helvétius discovered since the publication of the first three volumes. Mme Helvétius enjoyed an active widowhood, welcoming to her salon in Auteuil a group of intellectuals who came to be known as the Idéologues. A close friend of Benjamin Franklin, she was involved in political events before and during the French Revolution, as well as in Napoleon's coup d'état. In the last letter of the series her grandson describes her burial in her garden, which took place without religious or revolutionary ceremony in the presence of all her favourite pets. Most of the newly discovered letters are addressed to Helvétius by figures as important as d'Alembert, Boulanger, Chastellux, Saint-Lambert, Servan, Thieriot, and Trublet. Some of these complete an existing exchange, others provide dates for letters already published. The fifth and final volume will be devoted primarily to a comprehensive index. It will also include a chronological list of all the letters, corrections and modifications, and other useful material.pas assez d'amour
By Maki Starfield, Daniel March n. 2018

vertus de sa poésie est sa capacité à écouter et à identifier les problèmes les plus profonds de notre temps, dans l'art et la critique sociale.

By Mois Benarroch, Helene Coursault. 2016
Le poete et romancier Benarroch a été traduit dans des dizaines de langues, dont l'urdu et le chinois. Julia Uceda…
considère que la poésie de Benarroch renferme la mémoire du monde alors que Jose Luis Garcia Martin pense qu'il s'agit de plus que de poèmes, il s'agit d'une référence. Témoin de son temps, Benarroch a commencé à écrire des poèmes en anglais à l'âge de 15 ans et a toujours écrit dans sa langue maternelle, l'espagnol. Il s'agit d'une nouvelle édition de « Les Litanies de l'émigré », elle inclut le poème le plus célèbre de Benarroch, qui donne son nom à cette collection. Dans ce livre, Mois Benarroch (né en 1959 au Maroc) évoque son émigration et l'art de vivre entre deux mondes, sans jamais s'intégrer.Un Ange à mon Portail: Poésie
By Miguel D'Addario. 2019
Ce petit chef d’œuvre, réunissant près de quatre-vingts poèmes, est à ce jour le livre le plus traduit de Miguel…
D’Addario. Écrit en espagnol à l’origine, il est désormais traduit en italien, anglais, portugais, grec et français. Nous sommes plongés dans un voyage intérieur à travers des thèmes universels comme l’amour, la vie, la mort, les obstacles, les bonheurs, Dieu, notre existence à travers notre recherche intérieure, notre réveil, notre évolution... Parfois l’auteur nous interpelle, nous secoue, souhaitant nous faire prendre conscience qu’il est temps de s’éveiller. L’aspect social est un thème de prédilection, car inconsciemment, nous sommes sous l’influence de la société. Mais sans le moindre questionnement, ne risquons-nous pas de passer à côté de l’essentiel ? L’adversité pourrait-elle être perçue de manière positive, comme une expérience nécessaire permettant le réveil puis l’évolution ? Les éléments perturbateurs apparaitraient alors comme des médiateurs entre le monde tangible et intangible. Et finalement l’amour apparait aussi comme une réponse, poème Limites : « (…) Embrasse comme si tu perdais ton corps demain et aime comme si c’était le dernier jour de ta vie. » Un recueil de poésie qui permet de faire face aux déboires de la vie de manière positive et de croître en se recentrant sur notre essentialité.Anges Déchus
