Book Description
« LE DESTIN SANS RECETTE » montre le parcours d'un journaliste français qui était le reporter de la guerre à Sarajevo pour un journal parisien. Pendant la guerre, entre les cadavres, des obus et des ruines d'une ville abandonnée aux « seigneurs de guerre », il trouva son grand amour... La machine de guerre avançait impitoyablement ; broyait tout devant elle, les gens, les bâtiments, même les sentiments.« LE DESTIN SANS RECETTE » ne pose pas les questions de droit ni des religions. C'est un roman qui décrit la déchéance d'une vie qui se devait ordinaire... Ce n'est pas une narration des faits, on y trouve des images et des pensées qui doivent pousser tout et chacun à se faire sa propre histoire, ne vivre qu'à sa façon l'histoire d'un homme qui devenait une chair à canon comme tout le monde...

Author: A History of Everyday Things
Author: Daniel RochePublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521633598
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
Things which we regard as the everyday objects of consumption (and hence re-purchase), and essential to any decent, civilised lifestyle, have not always been so: in former times, everyday objects would have passed from one generation to another, without anyone dreaming of acquiring new ones. How, therefore, have people in the modern world become 'prisoners of objects', as Rousseau put it? The celebrated French cultural historian Daniel Roche answers this fundamental question using insights from economics, politics, demography and geography, as well as his own extensive historical knowledge. Professor Roche places familiar objects and commodities - houses, clothes, water - in their wider historical and anthropological contexts, and explores the origins of some of the daily furnishings of modern life. A History of Everyday Things is a pioneering essay that sheds light on the origins of the consumer society and its social and political repercussions, and thereby the birth of the modern world.

A 78-year-old man is attacked in the basement of an apartment building in the south of Paris, brutally beaten and left for dead. Reading the story in the newspaper the next morning, Gabriel Lecouvreur - AKA Private Detective Le Poulpe - recognises the victim's name as that of a once-gifted and controversial author, Andre Sloga, who had slipped into obscurity. Lecouvreur discovers that Sloga had in fact been hard at work on an explosive book exposing the scandals of a prominent industrialist and his family.
Susan Glaspell's Poetics and Politics of Rebellion
Author: Emeline JouvePublisher: University of Iowa Press
ISBN: 160938508X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
Analyzing plays from the early Trifles (1916) through Springs Eternal (1943) and the undated, incomplete Wings, author Emeline Jouve illustrates the way that Susan Glaspell's dramas addressed issues of sexism, the impact of World War I on American values, and the relationship between individuals and their communities, among other concerns. Jouve argues that Glaspell turns the playhouse into a courthouse, putting the hypocrisy of American democracy on trial. A must for students of Glaspell and her contemporaries, as well as scholars of American theatre and literature of the first half of the twentieth century.
