Abstract

La fascination pour les bêtes sauvages, bien mise en évidence par Jean-Christophe Bailly dans Le Versant animal, s'étend aussi aux textes qui parlent des animaux. Devenue scientifiquement obsolète comme discipline, l'histoire naturelle, dans son ambition inassouvie d'inventaire universel, peut désormais être explorée comme une réserve poétique de discours sur le monde animal. Entre les lignes, elle dit le besoin de raconter des histoires de bêtes, et souligne ainsi l'importance non seulement de la description mais aussi du récit dans l'élaboration des savoirs.S'interroger sur les échos de l'histoire naturelle, depuis Buffon, dans la littérature française, en mettant l'accent sur les textes des XXe et XXIe siècles, nourris de darwinisme et d'éthologie, revient à poser à nouveau frais la question des rapports, au sein du monde animal, entre l'humain et le non-humain. Érudition et fantaisie se côtoient dans des textes qui ne dissimulent plus leur empathie à l'égard des bêtes - dans le cadre désormais reconnu, mais menacé, d'une appartenance commune au monde vivant.

Abstract

One of the most influential and compelling books in American literature, Walden is a vivid account of the years that Henry D. Thoreau spent alone in a secluded cabin at Walden Pond. This edition--introduced by noted American writer John Updike--celebrates the perennial importance of a classic work, originally published in 1854. Much of Walden's material is derived from Thoreau's journals and contains such engaging pieces from the lively "Where I Lived, and What I Lived For" and "Brute Neighbors" to the serene "Reading" and "The Pond in the Winter." Other famous sections involve Thoreau's visits with a Canadian woodcutter and with an Irish family, a trip to Concord, and a description of his bean field. This is the complete and authoritative text of Walden--as close to Thoreau's original intention as all available evidence allows. This is the authoritative text of Walden and the ideal presentation of Thoreau's great document of social criticism and dissent.

Abstract

Gnomes of the Night should appeal to all zoologists, especially those whose interests are in the lives of animals in their natural habitat rather than in the laboratory. Illustrated with maps and photographs, it is a scholarly and fascinating account of little-known but prevalent animals.
