Abstract

Es ist der Sommer vor der Wirtschaftskrise. Martin Friedland, katholischer Priester ohne Glauben, trifft sich mit seinem Halbbruder Eric. Der hochverschuldete Finanzberater hat unheimliche Visionen, teilt davon jedoch keinem etwas mit. Schattenhafte Männer, sogar zwei Kinder warnen ihn, nur: Gelten diese Warnungen wirklich ihm, oder ist sein Zwillingsbruder Iwan gemeint, der Kunstkenner und Ästhet? Daniel Kehlmann erzählt von drei Brüdern, die – jeder auf seine Weise – Betrüger, Heuchler, Fälscher sind. Sie haben sich eingerichtet in ihrem Leben, doch plötzlich klafft ein Abgrund auf.Ein Roman über Lüge und Wahrheit, über Familie, Fälschung und die Kraft der Fiktion – vielschichtig, geheimnisvoll und kühn.

Abstract

Set in the French countryside of George Sand's childhood and narrated in the unique voice of a Berrichon peasant, La Petite Fadette is a beloved 1848 novel about identical twin brothers and Fadette, the mysterious waif with whom they both fall in love. The brothers, Landry and Sylvinet, belong to a highly respected farm family. When young Landry meets Fadette, whose very name suggests that she is a witch, he is captivated by the girl despite her lowly status and disreputable family. Sylvinet soon follows suit. Fadette's relationship with the twins defies the patriarchal norms of French society as well as the expectations of the village, resulting in a tale of love, courage, and clever strategy winning out over superstition and prejudice. Often regarded as a simple country tale, Sand's novel is layered with meaning, including subtle nods to the burgeoning desire for political and sexual equality in nineteenth-century France. This thoughtful critical translation by Gretchen van Slyke brings the complexity of the original story to life. Her introduction explores the autobiographical and political dimensions of the novel, and her translation preserves the rustic charm and archaic flavor of Sand's language. An invaluable contribution to French literary studies and nineteenth-century literature studies, this new edition ensures that La Petite Fadette will be read by generations to come.

Abstract

Edward Stratemeyer (1862-1930) was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey. He was an American publisher and writer of books for children. He wrote 150 books himself, and created the most famous of the series books for juveniles, including the Rover Boys (1899 and after), Bobbsey Twins (1904), Tom Swift (1910), Hardy Boys (1927), and Nancy Drew (1930) series, among others. Stratemeyer pioneered the technique of producing long-running, consistent series of books using a team of freelance authors to write standardised novels, which were published under a pen name owned by his company. Through his Stratemeyer Syndicate, founded in 1906, Stratemeyer produced short plot summaries for the novels in each series, which he sent to other writers who completed the story. Stratemeyer's series were also innovative in that they were intended purely as entertainment, with little of the moral lessons or educational intent found in most other popular fiction of the early twentieth century. Stratemeyer's series included, besides the famous ones, many that are now forgotten except by collectors: The Motor Boys (1906), Honey Bunch (1923), The Blythe Girls (1925) and Bomba the Jungle Boy (1926).

Abstract

Quelles auraient été les réactions du frère Jean-Paul Desbiens à la vue du sous-titre donné par l'auteur de sa biographie, son confrère Laurent Potvin? En tout respect pour son ancien maître et supérieur provincial, il n'aurait sans doute pas résisté à son goût proverbial de décortiquer le sens des termes qui lui sont appliqués. Retrouvant le ton bougon qui lui était familier, surtout lorsqu'il sentait sa modestie menacée, il aurait sans doute lancé un lapidaire ni l'un, ni l'autre"!.À l'appui de sa dénégation, il aurait eu beau jeu de tabler sur l'étymologie du mot prophète et l'ambiguïté du terme visionnaire. Et sa modestie en aurait été sauve! Prophète, en effet, signifie tout autant celui qui dénonce que celui qui annonce. L'étymologie grecque (pro-phèmi) s'accorde parfaitement au double rôle des prophètes de la bible. Le Frère Untel avait peut-être davantage le talent de dénoncer les carences de son époque qu'il n'avait la prétention de prédire la tournure des évènements à venir. N'empêche qu'avec le recul du temps, je n'hésiterais pas à dire qu'il fut prophète dans les deux sens Visionnaire? Là, Jean-Paul Desbiens se serait probablement rebiffé, avec la fougue de l'«homme farouche» qui a rédigé son journal jusqu'à la fin de sa vie. Je l'ai rencontré pour la dernière fois, quelques semaines avant son décès, alors que, se sentant en bout de course, il apportait une dernière touche à ses confidences. Le «visionnaire» était devenu un homme détruit par la maladie et un chrétien conscient de l'essentiel évangélique (Marc 6, 19-21). Un contact aussi inoubliable que fortuit J'y vois une réponse à mon interrogation : «En quel sens Jean-Paul Desbiens a-t-il été visionnaire?» Sûrement pas comme «une personne qui a ou croit avoir des révélations surnaturelles» (Petit Robert). Son sens de l'humour l'en aurait amusé. Car sa foi robuste et ses racines paysannes ne le prédisposaient guère aux envolées mystiques! Comme un esprit lucide, «qui a une intuition juste de l'avenir» (id)? Sûrement. Et ce par une analyse pénétrante de ce que vivait le Québec au seuil de sa Révolution tranquille. «Les Insolences du Frère Untel» n'épargnaient à peu près personne de l'élite québécoise. Les évêques aussi en prenaient pour leur grade Pourtant, lors de ses funérailles, le cardinal-archevêque de Québec et son prédécesseur immédiat partageaient la même admiration pour cet «homme-rocher» bien ancré dans son Église, sa famille religieuse et la terre de chez nous L'ouvrage du frère Laurent Potvin ne prétend pas faire le tour du personnage. Il en esquisse au moins les diverses facettes et nous fait désirer, comme lui, qu'un historien de métier présente un jour au grand public ce «Frère enseignant qui a mis sa personnalité, son cœur et sa plume au service de l'éducation chrétienne», à une époque cruciale de l'évolution socioreligieuse du Québec. La délicieuse homélie de M. le Cardinal Ouellet, reproduite en annexe, pourrait servir de canevas à cette éventuelle publication La présente biographie, en plus de fournir de précieux repères pour une étude plus fouillée, conservera encore tout l'intérêt que lui confèrent le précieux survol de la carrière d'un vrai frère mariste, pas nécessairement «comme les autres», et la proximité de son auteur avec un confrère au parcours exceptionnel.
