Download or read book I Remember written by Georges Perec and published by Gallic Books. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Perec is serious fun' The Guardian Both an affectionate portrait of mid-century Paris and a daring memoir, Georges Perec's I Remember is now available in English to UK readers for the first time, with an introduction by David Bellos. In 480 numbered statements, all beginning identically with 'I remember', Perec records a stream of individual memories of a childhood in post-war France, while posing wider questions about memory and nostalgia. As playful and puzzling as the best of his novels, I Remember is an ode to life: the ordinary, the extraordinary, and the sometimes trivial, as seen through the eyes of the irreplaceable Georges Perec.

Download or read book The Art of Asking Your Boss for a Raise written by Georges Perec and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2017-01-17 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Darkly funny account of the office worker’s mindset by the celebrated French novelist A long-suffering employee in a big corporation has summoned up the courage to ask for a raise. But as he runs through the looming encounter in his mind, his neuroses come to the surface: What is the best day to see the boss? What if he doesn’t offer you a seat when you go into his office? The Art of Asking Your Boss for a Raise is a hilarious account of an employee losing his identity—and possibly his sanity—as he tries to put on the most acceptable face for the corporate world,with its rigid hierarchies and hostility to new ideas. If he follows a certain course of action, so this logic goes, he will succeed—but, in accepting these conditions, are his attempts to challenge his world of work doomed from the outset? Neurotic and pessimistic, yet endearing, comic and never less than entertaining, Perec’s Woody Allen-esque underling presents an acute and penetrating vision of the world of office work, as pertinent today as it was when it was written in 1968.

Download or read book Impressions of Africa written by Raymond Roussel and published by Calder Publications. This book was released on 2018-12-18 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first of Roussel's two major prose works, Impressions of Africa is not, as the title may suggest, a conventional travel account, but an adventure story put together in a highly individual fashion and with an unusual time sequence, whereby the reader is even made to choose whether to begin with the first or the tenth chapter. A veritable literary melting pot, Roussel's groundbreaking text makes ample use of wordplay and the surrealist techniques of automatic writing and private allusion.

Download or read book La collection de tapisseries de Louis XIV written by Jean Vittet and published by Faton. This book was released on 2010 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sa mort, en 1715, Louis XIV laissait l'une des plus belles collections de tapisseries jamais constituées. En effet, en cinquante ans, ce souverain réunit un ensemble sans égal de plus de 2 500 pièces de haute et basse lisse, tissées d'or et d'argent pour la plupart, qu'il constitua non seulement en effectuant de prestigieuses acquisitions auprès de grands collectionneurs comme le duc d'Epernon, Nicolas Fouquet et Mazarin, mais aussi en passant d'innombrables commandes aux manufactures royales nouvellement fondées, oeuvres qui vinrent rejoindre les vénérables tentures héritées de ses ancêtres. Parmi les plus prestigieuses séries, figuraient ainsi la célèbre tenture de L'Histoire de Scipion de Jules Romain, tissage bruxellois qui avait appartenu à François 1er, plusieurs exemplaires des Actes des Apôtres d'après Raphaël, dont l'un fait pour Charles 1er d'Angleterre, issu de la fabrique de Mortlake, ou encore les superbes Chasses de Maximilien, dessinées par Bernard van Orley, aujourd'hui conservées au musée du Louvre. Parallèlement, les productions des manufactures des Gobelins et de Beauvais, inspirées principalement par Charles Le Brun, mais aussi par Nicolas Poussin et Pierre Mignard, vinrent enrichir la collection destinée désormais à la magnificence des maisons royales. L'inventaire de ces tapisseries, rédigé en 1716 après la mort du roi, encore jamais édité, est ici pour la première fois présenté dans sa totalité, commenté et surtout accompagné de l'identification de très nombreuses pièces encore conservées en France ou dans le monde, avec plus de quatre cents photographies en couleur, la plupart très récentes. Aboutissement de dix années de recherche, cette édition du texte de 1716 par Jean Vinet, Inspecteur des collections du Mobilier national, et Arnauld Brejon de Lavergnée, Directeur des collections, est assortie, pour chaque notice, d'une description complémentaire des tapisseries, d'un historique, d'une bibliographie et d'un commentaire. Aussi souvent que possible, la localisation des pièces est précisée avec leur reproduction. Une introduction générale et un index facilitent l'usage de ce catalogue sans équivalent sur le sujet, préfacé par Bernard Schotter, Administrateur général du Mobilier national.
