""I was photographed naked on a cushion very early in life, an insane, toothless smile slitting my face and pleats of fat overlapping me like an ill-fitting overcoat. Later, at the age of two, I was photographed again. This time in a lace dress, leaning against a garden roller and laughing hysterically. If these photographs can be found they will adorn this book."" Thus begins the life story of one of the most celebrated characters in British theatrical history, in the first of Coward''s autobiographies, first published in 1937. Displaying an early dedication to the theatre, Present Indicative

«Chaque année, c’est pareil: au moment d’établir ma liste de cadeaux pour Noël, je sèche… La raison est toute simple: mon anniversaire tombe début décembre. Et une fois que j’ai fêté mon année supplémentaire, et donc reçu des tas de cadeaux, je ne sais plus quoi demander de plus! Cela dit, j’adore Noël! Enfin, d’habitude, j’adore Noël. Mais cette année, il y a une ambiance particulière à la maison. Maman semble triste tout le temps et je n’arrive pas à savoir pourquoi…» (bron: Averbode)

The most prolific and versatile French poet of the mid-twentieth century, Pierre Emmanuel's oeuvre spans five decades and an astonishing array of forms, from epics and love sonnets to patriotic works and prayers. The first full-length study of his works in English, From Babel to Pentecost brings Emmanuel's works to a new generation and a new readership. Mary Anne O'Neil's meticulous study of Emmanuel's complete works traces the poet's development as a thinker and artist while surveying both French and English scholarship on Emmanuel from the 1940s to the present. Employing close readings of poems as well as intertextual and psychoanalytic approaches, O'Neil draws connections between Emmanuel's influences, vocabulary, imagery, and meters, while translations allow English-language readers to engage directly with the texts. O'Neil's insightful commentary sheds light on the poet's relationship to movements in European poetry, to poets of Classical Greece, the Latin Middle Ages, and the Renaissance, and to sacred Hebrew, Hindu, and Buddhist verse. Keenly attuned to the changing world around him, Pierre Emmanuel exemplifies a poet's power to clarify the human condition, to move, and to teach. From Babel to Pentecost enables readers to rediscover the enduring richness and relevance of his work.

Léon Noël, Noël Léon. Beau palindrome. Signe d’une aptitude à se retourner au gré des circonstances ? Une vie de 99 ans marquée d’une indéfectible fidélité à l’Etat, mais dans tous ses états ! Un talent pour être là lorsque la décision se prend ou quand l’action s’impose. Une habileté à jouer les éminences grises : séparation de l’Eglise et de l’Etat, c’est déjà lui, occupation de la Rhénanie, ambassadeur, ou plutôt proconsul, en Tchécoslovaquie et en Pologne (où il défait et refait le gouvernement), c’est encore lui. Mais le voici, hélas, dans le wagon de Rethondes, face à Hitler, et délégué général de Pétain pour la zone Nord. Vacillement ? Les uns le voient en dauphin du Maréchal, les autres en successeur de Jean Moulin. A partir de 1947, c’est de Gaulle. Pour toujours. En conseiller, en confident. Député de l’Yonne d’une Quatrième honnie, il est élu du RPF, contre la Communauté européenne de défense. En récompense, la Cinquième instaurée, c’est le couronnement : la première présidence du Conseil constitutionnel, une institution dont on parle encore beaucoup, qui paraît moins impartiale et indépendante qu’on ne l’a cru... Résister ou pas, et comment, aux pressions de l’exécutif ? Pas simple, surtout quand l’enjeu est l’élection du président de la République au suffrage universel ! Passions françaises, enjeux internationaux, défis constitutionnels, cette biographie est une grande leçon de science politique. Une fine coupe historique qui épouse le xxe siècle.

"An Abenaki born in 1792 in St. Francis, Quebec, Noel Annance was by virtue of his descent from two white captives privileged to attend Dartmouth College, the only North American institution then admitting indigenous students. Determined to be the person he had been educated to become, Noel was all his life caught between two ways of being, neither of which accepted him among their numbers. Despite exemplary service in the War of 1812, he was too indigenous to be allowed to succeed in the fur trade, too civilized to be accepted by those in charge on returning home. He did not belong. All his life Noel dared on the pattern of his Abenaki great uncle, grandfather, and father. For a third of a century to his death in 1869, he wrote the truth to persons in positions of authority who might have changed the course of Canadian history had they followed up. Some of Noel's writings are reproduced to permit him to speak for himself. Against these are juxtaposed others' perspectives in forms ranging from government documents to personal observations. Noel Annance's life and writings demonstrate how the exclusionary policies towards indigenous peoples generally considered to have originated with the Indian Act of 1876 were well in place upwards to half a century earlier. Moving ahead in time, Abenaki Daring speaks to the similar barriers still preventing many well educated indigenous persons seeking to belong from reaching their full potential."--

Fifty years after its publication in English, René Girard's Deceit, Desire, and the Novel (1965) has never ceased to fascinate, challenge, inspire, and sometimes irritate, literary scholars. It has become one of the great classics of literary criticism, and the notion of triangular desire is now part of the theoretical parlance among critics and students. It also represents the genetic starting point for what has become one of the most encompassing, challenging, and far-reaching theories conceived in the humanities in the last century: mimetic theory. This book provides a forum for new genera
