Download or read book Dictionnaire des mots rares et savoureux written by Alain Horvilleur and published by Jacques André Editeur/CEI. This book was released on 2013 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vous aimez les mots ? Lui aussi. Vous êtes linguiste ? Philosophe ? Lui non plus. Et pourtant il a osé écrire ce livre dans le but de vous divertir au nom de notre amour commun de la langue française et des plaisirs de l'esprit. D'adamantin à zoonyme, en passant par cligne-musette, coquefredouille ou coquecigrue, vous aimerez feuilleter ce dictionnaire subjectif à la recherche du concept qui fait rêver, du mot à sauver, de l'étymologie singulière, du vocable rare qui devient soudain indispensable, non par pédantisme, mais parce qu'il constitue un véritable outil de réflexion. Voyagez à travers les mots. Découvrez les recoins oubliés de notre patrimoine culturel. Renouez avec le jeu du dictionnaire qui consiste, à partir d'un mot et, de proche en proche, à consulter par analogie d'autres rubriques et à vous retrouver, au delà des mots eux-mêmes, dans des contrées linguistiques dont l'existence vous était peut-être inconnue. Alain Horvilleur a transformé son garde-manger les mots (son blog Le Garde-mots qui a reçu plus de trois millions de clics) en un texte à la fois raisonné et déraisonnable, ludique, sorte de caverne d'Ali Baba littéraire qui prolonge ses Almanachs du Garde-mots 2009, 2010, 2011, sans faire double emploi avec eux. D'homéopathe reconnu le voici devenu lexicomane, poète des mots, verbigérant alphabétique.

Download or read book Divagations written by Stphane Mallarm and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-15 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a book just the way I don't like them," the father of French Symbolism, Stphane Mallarm, informs the reader in his preface to Divagations: "scattered and with no architecture." On the heels of this caveat, Mallarm's diverting, discursive, and gorgeously disordered 1897 masterpiece tumbles forth--and proves itself to be just the sort of book his readers like most. The salmagundi of prose poems, prose-poetic musings, criticism, and reflections that is Divagations has long been considered a treasure trove by students of aesthetics and modern poetry. If Mallarm captured the tone and very feel of fin-de-sicle Paris, he went on to captivate the minds of the greatest writers of the twentieth century--from Valry and Eliot to Paul de Man and Jacques Derrida. This was the only book of prose he published in his lifetime and, in a new translation by Barbara Johnson, is now available for the first time in English as Mallarm arranged it. The result is an entrancing work through which a notoriously difficult-to-translate voice shines in all of its languor and musicality. Whether contemplating the poetry of Tennyson, the possibilities of language, a masturbating priest, or the transporting power of dance, Mallarm remains a fascinating companion--charming, opinionated, and pedantic by turns. As an expression of the Symbolist movement and as a contribution to literary studies, Divagations is vitally important. But it is also, in Johnson's masterful translation, endlessly mesmerizing.

Download or read book Imagining Contagion in Early Modern Europe written by Claire L. Carlin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2005-10-14 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ideological underpinnings of early modern theories of contagion are dissected in this volume by an integrated team of literary scholars, cultural historians, historians of medicine and art historians. Even today, the spread of disease inspires moralizing discourse and the ostracism of groups thought responsible for contagion; the fear of illness and the desire to make sense of it are demonstrated in the current preoccupation with HIV, SARS, 'mad cow' disease, West Nile virus and avian flu, to cite but a few contemporary examples. Imagining Contagion in Early Modern Europe explores the nature of understanding when humanity is faced with threats to its well-being, if not to its very survival.
