En 1938, fatigué des compromissions de l'Église, dégoûté par les accords de Munich, Georges Bernanos quitte la France avec sa femme et ses six enfants. Son but : recréer une France utopique en terre brésilienne. La réalité sera autre. À la place, l'ancien compagnon de route de l'Action française, le polémiste des Grands Cimetières sous la lune, le royaliste capétien, va découvrir au Brésil une forme paradoxale de liberté. Travailleur infatigable, il porte un regard lucide sur l'Europe en proie aux convulsions et prête sa plume à la France libre.En 1945, à l'appel de De Gaulle, il finit par quitter sa presque-patrie qui ne cesse, dès lors, d'accompagner ses pensées et ses écrits : « Le plus grand, le plus profond, le plus douloureux désir de mon cœur en ce qui me regarde c'est de vous revoir tous, de revoir votre pays, de reposer dans cette terre où j'ai tant souffert et tant espéré pour la France, d'y attendre la résurrection, comme j'y ai attendu la victoire. » Sébastien Lapaque, voyageant sur les traces de l'écrivain, révèle un autre Bernanos, dont l'exil choisi éclaire les contradictions d'un chrétien qui n'aimait guère les tièdes : son monarchisme utopique, son antisémitisme, sa mélancolie parfois joyeuse, son rapport avec de Gaulle, l'« homme prédestiné ». Se révèle une voix puissante en lutte avec les faveurs factices de son époque - il refusera par trois fois la Légion d'honneur et un siège à l'Académie française - et toute forme d'asservissement. Un anticonformisme qui achève de le désigner pour la postérité comme figure tutélaire des hussards. Un bel essai biographique superbement écrit.

Le XVIIe siècle est frappé par une "crise des réfugiés" sans précédent. Fuyant les persécutions et les politiques coercitives, des centaines de milliers de personnes prennent la route de l'exil : judéo-ibériques, vaudois, protestants français, wallons ou tchèques, cherchent une protection matérielle et juridique dans plusieurs pays d'Europe. Or, le droit d'asile était jusqu'alors conçu comme une immunité accordée à des délinquants ou à des criminels. Comment en faire un droit pour les personnes innocentes ? S'appuyant sur des sources en partie inédites, cet ouvrage, à la croisée de l'histoire du droit et de l'histoire des émotions, s'interroge sur cette mutation profonde du droit d'asile. Les fugitifs dispersés dans plusieurs pays d'Europe forgent un langage de l'exil et élaborent la figure compassionnelle du réfugié. C'est sur elle que les juristes s'appuient pour penser un "droit des exilés". Ce droit de recevoir des personnes vulnérables, qui s'ébauche dans l'Allemagne protestante, ouvre un chapitre inédit et transnational du droit des gens. --

In The Length of Days, featuring a wild cast of characters, Rafeyenko combines poetry and wicked humor with elements of magical realism. The novel is set in 2014, mostly in the composite Donbas city of Z--an uncanny foretelling of what this letter has come to symbolize since February 2022, when Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

"A groundbreaking new history of the shared legacy of expulsion among Jews and Christian moneylenders in late medieval Europe. Beginning in the twelfth century, Jewish moneylenders increasingly found themselves in the crosshairs of European authorities, who denounced the evils of usury as they expelled Jews from their lands. Yet Jews were not alone in supplying coin and credit to needy borrowers. Across much of Western Europe, foreign Christians likewise engaged in professional moneylending, and they too faced repeated threats of expulsion from the communities in which they settled. No Return examines how mass expulsion became a pervasive feature of European law and politics-with tragic consequences that have reverberated down to the present.Drawing on unpublished archival evidence ranging from fiscal ledgers and legal opinions to sermons and student notebooks, Rowan Dorin traces how an association between usury and expulsion entrenched itself in Latin Christendom from the twelfth century onward. Showing how ideas and practices of expulsion were imitated and repurposed in different contexts, he offers a provocative reconsideration of the dynamics of persecution in late medieval society.Uncovering the protean and contagious nature of expulsion, No Return is a panoramic work of history that offers new perspectives on Jewish-Christian relations, the circulation of norms and ideas in the age before print, and the intersection of law, religion, and economic life in premodern Europe"--

Avant-Garde Post- follows seven Russophone poets as they reinvigorate leftist art in the wake of state socialism. Rejecting both the Putin regime--with its selective mobilizations of Soviet nostalgia--and Western discourses of liberal superiority, this circle is reviving class-based critique through experimental forms and global collaborations.

In 1777, Congress labeled Quakers who would not take up arms in support of the War of Independence as "the most Dangerous Enemies America knows" and ordered Pennsylvania and Delaware to apprehend them. In response, Keystone State officials sent twenty men-seventeen of whom were Quakers-into exile, banishing them to Virginia, where they were held for a year.Prisoners of Congress reconstructs this moment in American history through the experiences of four families: the Drinkers, the Fishers, the Pembertons, and the Gilpins. Identifying them as the new nation's first political prisoners, Norman E. Donoghue II relates how the Quakers, once the preeminent power in Pennsylvania and an integral constituency of the colonies and early republic, came to be reviled by patriots who saw refusal to fight the English as borderline sedition. Surprising, vital, and vividly told, this narrative of political and literal warfare waged by the United States against a pacifist religious group during the Revolutionary War era sheds new light on an essential aspect of American history. It will appeal to anyone interested in learning more about the nation's founding.
