Download or read book Waiting for Tomorrow written by Nathacha Appanah and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful examination of the artistic impulse, cultural identity, and family bonds Anita is waiting for Adam to be released from prison. They met twenty years ago at a New Year’s Eve party in Paris, a city where they both felt out of place—he as a recent arrival from the provinces, and she as an immigrant from the island of Mauritius. They quickly fell in love, married, and moved to a village in southwestern France, to live on the shores of the Atlantic with their little girl, Laura. In order to earn a living, Adam has left behind his love of painting to become an architect, and Anita has turned her desire to write into a job freelancing for a local newspaper. Over time, the monotony of daily life begins to erode the bonds of their marriage. The arrival of Adèle, an undocumented immigrant from Mauritius whom they hire to care for Laura, sparks artistic inspiration for both Adam and Anita, as well as a renewed energy in their relationship. But this harmony proves to be short-lived, brought down by their separate transgressions of Adèle’s privacy and a subsequently tragic turn of events. With the careful observation, vivid description, and emotional resonance that are the hallmarks of her previous novel, The Last Brother, in Waiting for Tomorrow Nathacha Appanah investigates the life of the artist, the question of cultural differences within a marriage, and the creation and the destruction of a family.
Download or read book Worldwide Women Writers in Paris written by Alison Rice and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-16 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worldwide Women Writers in Paris examines a new literary phenomenon consisting of an unprecedented number of women from around the world who have come to Paris and become authors of written works in French. It takes as its starting point a series of filmed interviews conducted in the French capital, a set of recorded conversations motivated by a desire to pay homage to these discrete voices and images at a moment characterized by impressive diversity. Their individual paths to France and to French are noteworthy, and these authors of different generations and varying places of origin emphasize their singularity. However, the juxtaposition of their reflections reveals that many have faced similar difficulties when learning the French language, adapting to life in France, and many have encountered forms of prejudice in the publishing world related to their ethnicity or gender. These challenges have led them, each in an idiosyncratic manner, to tackle tough topics in their work and to respond to adversity by finding effective creative expressions. Taken together, the innovations and interventions in oral and written form of these authors collectively contribute to significant change in the specialized score that is the Parisian literary landscape: Hélène Cixous (Algeria); Zahia Rahmani (Algeria); Leïla Sebbar (Algeria); Bessora (Belgium); Julia Kristeva (Bulgaria); Pia Petersen (Denmark); Maryse Condé (Guadeloupe); Eva Almassy (Hungary); Shumona Sinha (India); Chahdortt Djavann (Iran); Yumiko Seki (Japan); Evelyne Accad (Lebanon); Etel Adnan (Lebanon); Nathacha Appanah (Mauritius); Brina Svit (Slovenia); Eun-Ja Kang (South Korea); Anna Moï (Vietnam).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rediscover the diversity of modern African literatures with this authoritative resource edited by a leader in the field How have African literatures unfolded in their rich diversity in our modern era of decolonization, nationalisms, and extensive transnational movement of peoples? How have African writers engaged urgent questions regarding race, nation, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality? And how do African literary genres interrelate with traditional oral forms or audio-visual and digital media? A Companion to African Literatures addresses these issues and many more. Consisting of essays by distinguished scholars and emerging leaders in the field, this book offers rigorous, deeply engaging discussions of African literatures on the continent and in diaspora. It covers the four main geographical regions (East and Central Africa, North Africa, Southern Africa, and West Africa), presenting ample material to learn from and think with. A Companion To African Literatures is divided into five parts. The first four cover different regions of the continent, while the fifth part considers conceptual issues and newer directions of inquiry. Chapters focus on literatures in European languages officially used in Africa -- English, French, and Portuguese -- as well as homegrown African languages: Afrikaans, Amharic, Arabic, Swahili, and Yoruba. With its lineup of lucid and authoritative analyses, readers will find in A Companion to African Literatures a distinctive, rewarding academic resource. Perfect for undergraduate and graduate students in literary studies programs with an African focus, A Companion to African Literatures will also earn a place in the libraries of teachers, researchers, and professors who wish to strengthen their background in the study of African literatures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Découvertes à travers la méditation La vérité ultime reste et restera toujours le VIDE SILENCIEUX de la méditation, elle sera toujours le vide parce qu'il est immuable et éternel. Je ne demande pas à la lectrice ou au lecteur de croire ou d'accepter ce que j'énonce dans les pages de ce livre, bien au contraire. La chercheuse ou le chercheur se doit d'être critique, de questionner et de ne croire que ce qu'elle ou il expérimente intérieurement. Seule la méditation apporte la vérité! __________________________________________________________________ À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Au cours de sa carrière Julien Bouchard a parcouru pendant près de 45 ans des dizaines de pays tant en Asie méridionale, Moyen-Orient, Afrique, Amérique du Sud, Amérique central, etc. Tous ces voyages, en plus d'être effectués à des fins professionnelles. Étaient également sujets de recherche philosophique et spirituelle, en Inde, dans le nord du Népal particulièrement. À ses débuts il fréquentait les ashrams de l'Inde et les lamaseries du nord du Népal où il reçut certaines initiations philosophiques bouddhistes. Il recherchait intensément une méthode simple, la méthode de méditation la plus pure et la moins altérées par le temps et les gens. Pour cela il a dû effectuer des recherches qui l'ont amené à remonter dans le temps et finalement, lors d'un voyage dans le nord du Népal, il rencontra un moine ermite, maître de l'école Kagyûtpa (une adepte de la succession apostolique). L'enseignement de ce guide reposait sur le MahaMudra (le Grand Symbole). Une des plus anciennes et des plus pures forme de méditation connues à ce jour. C'est après toutes ces années d'étude, de recherche, de réflexion et de méditation que Julien a écrit ce livre suite à son désir de partager avec les sincères chercheuses et chercheurs de vérité les résultats de ses efforts pour atteindre un niveau plus élevé de compréhension de la vie, de l'humanité et finalement de lui-même.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nicolas Sarkozy candidat à l’élection présidentielle avait affirmé qu’il ne toucherait pas au système des retraites. Mais la crise économique a rebattu les cartes. Le Président de la République engagea une réforme qui réussit à liguer contre elle tous les syndicats pour une fois réunis. On leur avait promis une négociation, voilà qu’on leur soumettait un projet tout ficelé. Pour eux, la fin de la retraite à 60 ans n’était « pas acceptable ». Pour le gouvernement, le cœur de la réforme n’était « pas négociable ». Cet ouvrage expose les enjeux de cette réforme et apporte des éclairages sur la façon dont elle fut présentée et menée par l’Elysée et le gouvernement. Il souligne également les limites d’un projet qui, au plan financier, sera rendu obsolète à échéance de dix ans. Et l’obligation d’envisager d’ores et déjà une nouvelle réforme en profondeur qui ne se limite pas à un report des bornes d’âge.
