Book excerpt: Pourquoi dormir quand il y a tant à faire ? Le sommeil à l'ancienne n'est-il pas dépassé, enterré par les réseaux sociaux, les boutiques et les agendas ouverts 24 h sur 24 ? L'urbanisation nous conduit à un temps uniforme, à une illumination permanente de l'environnement, à une succession de stimulations irrésistibles. Faire une pause, oui. Dormir, plus jamais ! Aujourd'hui, la valeur du sommeil est devenue relative, elle n'est plus gravée dans le marbre de la nuit. II faut donc rappeler sa vertu et sa magie, célébrées dès les premières civilisations humaines. Le sommeil est d'abord ce remède intérieur que s'octroie le corps en s'alignant sur le rythme cosmique. Il nous permet aussi de faire l'expérience troublante d'un oubli de nous-mêmes, d'une abdication de la conscience qui nous donnerait un avant-gout de l'absolu, tout en nous offrant une morale de l'action, un exercice spirituel de la réserve et du détachement. Enfin, dormir crée un lien unique entre les êtres, qu'il s'agisse du couple d'amoureux qui s'observent, ou des veilleurs indispensables au repos de tous, et qui font peut-être du sommeil le fondement de la cité et de la concorde. Cet éloge souhaiterait montrer combien le sommeil est un ressourcement et un art de vivre. Il propose une promenade à travers des siècles de littérature, de philosophie et de sagesses du monde : de l'hindouisme à Shakespeare, de Montaigne à Nietzsche, de Freud à Pessoa... Mais aussi un panorama des dernières connaissances scientifiques sur la valeur et les bienfaits du sommeil. En intermède, quatre éloges originaux sont enfin signés par de grands auteurs contemporains : Alexis Jenni (prix Goncourt 2011), François Garde, Martin Page et Sophie Divry. Sous la direction de Dalibor Frioux, un manifeste engagé contre l'hégémonie d'une vie a flux tendu, pour défendre le plus intime de nos espaces de liberté.

Download or read book The Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu written by Maurice Joly and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2003 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joly's (1831-78) Dialogue aux enfers entre Machiavel et Montesquieu is the major source of one of the world's most infamous and damaging forgeries, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. That, however, was concocted some two decades after he died, and American political scientist Waggoner points to Joly's own text for evidence that he was not anti-semitic and was an intransigent enemy of the kind of tyranny the forgery served during the 1930s. He translates the text and discusses Joly's intentions in writing it and his contribution to the understanding of modern politics. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Salvator Rosa (1615–1673) was a colorful and controversial Italian painter, talented musician, a notable comic actor, a prolific correspondent, and a successful satirist and poet. His paintings, especially his rugged landscapes and their evocation of the sublime, appealed to Romantic writers, and his work was highly influential on several generations of European writers. James S. Patty analyzes Rosa’s tremendous influence on French writers, chiefly those of the nineteenth century, such as Stendhal, Honoré de Balzac, Victor Hugo, George Sand, and Théophile Gautier. Arranged in chronological order, with numerous quotations from French fiction, poetry, drama, art criticism, art history, literary history, and reference works, Salvator Rosa in French Literature forms a narrative account of the reception of Rosa’s life and work in the world of French letters. James S. Patty, professor emeritus of French at Vanderbilt University, is the author of Dürer in French Letters . He lives in Nashville, Tennessee.

Download or read book Divine Names on the Spot written by Fabio Porzia and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Ancient Greek and Semitic languages resorted to a large range of words to name the divine. Gods and goddesses were called by a variety of names and combinations of onomastic attributes. This broad lexicon of names is characterised by plurality and a tendency to build on different sequences of names; therefore, the Mapping Ancient Polytheisms project focuses on the process of naming the divine in order to better understand the ancient divine in terms of a plurality in the making. A fundamental rule for reading ancient divine names is to grasp them in their context - time and place, a ritual, the form of the discourse, a cultural milieu...: a deity is usually named according to a specific situation. From Artemis Eulochia to al-Lat, al-'Uzza and Manat, from Melqart to "my rock" in the biblical book of Psalms, this volume journeys between the sanctuary on Mount Gerizim and late antique magical practices, revisiting rituals, hymnic poetry, oaths of orators and philosophical prayers. While targeting different names in different contexts, the contributors draft theoretical propositions towards a dynamic approach of naming the divine in antiquity.'
