Download or read book Sports and Pastimes written by Jean-Philippe Baril Guérard and published by Book*hug Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiction. Translated by Aimee Wall. Inspired by Erik Satie's work of the same name, SPORTS AND PASTIMES is the first novel by acclaimed Montreal playwright and author Jean-Philippe Baril Gu rard to appear in English. This fast-paced story follows the daily life, at once empty and overloaded, of a group of friends who spend all their energy trying to distract themselves with huge hits of endorphins, art and various substances, navigating pleasure and boredom, the extraordinary and the banal, as (more or less) worthy representatives of the best and worst of what their era has to offer. Consider a mashup of "Girls" and "Less Than Zero" and you are pretty close to the fun and games of SPORTS AND PASTIMES. "The novel of rich, apathetic youth has been done so often that it has almost becomea genre of its own, but rarely has it been written in Quebec with such mastery of itscodes as by Jean-Philippe Baril Gu rard."--Dominic Tardif "If the body is an obstacle to feelings or emotions, we must emphasize the strength of the interiority of the characters."--Jeremi Perrault

Download or read book A Sport and a Pastime written by James Salter and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2012-06-05 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The astonishing novel and “tour de force” about a love affair in postwar France from the iconic author of All That Is (The New York Times Book Review). Twenty-year-old Yale dropout Phillip Dean is traveling Europe aimlessly in a borrowed car with little money. When he stops for a few days in a church-quiet town near Dijon, he meets Anne-Marie Costallat, a young shop assistant. The two begin an affair both carnal and innocent, and she quickly becomes to him the real France, its beating heart and an object of pure longing. James Salter, author of Light Years and the memoir Burning the Days, was an essential voice in the evolution of late twentieth-century prose, a stylist on par with Updike and Roth who won the PEN/Faulkner Award for his collection Dusk and Other Stories. One of the first great American novels to speak frankly of human desire free of guilt and shame, A Sport and a Pastime inspired Reynolds Price to call it “as nearly perfect as any American fiction I know.” This ebook edition features an illustrated biography of James Salter including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Sports and Pastimes 1868 In thus offering to the public the following essays on the British out-of-door Sports and Pastimes of the present day, reprinted from the pages of the Saint Pauls Magazine, it has been the object of the writers to explain, with as much accuracy as the narrow limits of such work would allow them, the present condition of those sports which are essentially dear to the English nature, and which are at the present day so strongly in vogue in England as to have a manifest effect on the lives and characters of Englishmen. There have been other sports which were formerly essentially English; but they have either passed away so entirely as to be now not known among us, or they are so far gone in the yellow leaf as not to be worthy of being now classed with those to which the following pages are devoted. Cock-fighting and Badger-baiting are to be counted among the former. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
