Download or read book Fables Compl tes de la Fontaine Livres 1 12 Illustrations Par Grandville written by Jean de La Fontaine and published by . This book was released on 2018-05-05 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La présente édition en trois volumes reprend celle 1847 illustrée par Jean-Jacques Grandville.Les Fables choisies, mises en vers par Jean. de La Fontaine, appelées simplement Fables de La Fontaine, sont trois recueils de deux cent quarante trois fables allégoriques publiés par Jean de La Fontaine entre 1668 et 1694. La plupart, pas toutes, mettent en scène des animaux anthropomorphes et finissent, parfois commencent, par une morale.L'auteur y invente un genre en rupture avec les traditions ésopique, évangélique et humaniste, où le style et l'esprit plus que le propos se veulent didactiques. Modèle du français moderne, ces apologues sont utilisés dès le début du XVIIIe siècle comme support d'enseignement par les jésuites, principal corps enseignant en France jusqu'en 1763, et par les précepteurs familiaux, puis deviennent, sous la Troisième République et jusqu'après guerre, un incontournable de l'école primaire.Les dessins de Grandville présentent habituellement une analyse des personnages pleine d'inventivité et de merveilleux. Cependant, il faut insister sur la difficulté de lecture et d'interprétation de ses caricatures intrinsèquement liées au contexte historique et politique du temps, à une actualité désormais hermétique pour le profane. Cette perte relative du sens n'ôte rien à la qualité artistique des dessins.L'une des obsessions de Grandville dans l'approche de ses oeuvres est de vouloir absolument transcrire sa pensée par le trait du crayon plus que par la plume et le verbe. Il invente tout un ensemble de procédés « pour donner parole aux images, afin qu'elles manifestent l'idée, affichent l'opinion et agissent immédiatement sur le lecteur ». La monarchie de juillet lui fournira amplement l'occasion d'exprimer ses idées républicaines et anticléricales. Les thèmes du budget, des violences du pouvoir, du ridicule et des abus des puissants sont autant de sources d'inspiration pour Grandville qui ne néglige pas l'observation quotidienne de ses contemporains plus proches, croquant les types du bourgeois, de la coquette, du notaire etc.

Download or read book Slavery and the British Country House written by Madge Dresser and published by Historic England Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The British country house has long been regarded as the jewel in the nation's heritage crown. But the country house is also an expression of wealth and power, and as scholars reconsider the nation's colonial past, new questions are being posed about these great houses and their links to Atlantic slavery.This book, authored by a range of academics and heritage professionals, grew out of a 2009 conference on 'Slavery and the British Country house: mapping the current research' organised by English Heritage in partnership with the University of the West of England, the National Trust and the Economic History Society. It asks what links might be established between the wealth derived from slavery and the British country house and what implications such links should have for the way such properties are represented to the public today.Lavishly illustrated and based on the latest scholarship, this wide-ranging and innovative volume provides in-depth examinations of individual houses, regional studies and critical reconsiderations of existing heritage sites, including two studies specially commissioned by English Heritage and one sponsored by the National Trust.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This extensively-researched two-volume series offers a detailed account of "the coming of the persecuted Protestants of France to the New World, and their establishment, particularly in the seaboard provinces [New England] now comprehended within the United States....The volumes now submitted to the public treat first of these antecedent movements, and then take up the narrative of the events that led to the more considerable and more effective emigration, in the latter years of the seventeenth century." This very readable narrative history is rich with details about persons, places and events. Much of the information preserved on these pages was gleaned from unpublished documents found in the United States, France and England: "Manuscripts in the possession of the descendants of refugees; memorials, petitions, wills, and other papers on file in public offices;" as well as numerous church records and other original documents. Volume I includes: Attempted Settlements in Brazil and Florida, Under the Edict: Acadia and Canada, New Netherland, The Antilles, Approach of the Revocation, and The Revocation: Flight from La Rochelle and Aunis. Illustrations, maps, and an appendix enhance the text. An index to full-names, places and subjects for both volumes is contained in Volume II.

Download or read book The History of Gambling in England written by John Ashton and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1898 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Difference between Gaming and Gambling-Universality and Antiquity of Gambling-Isis and Osiris-Games and Dice of the Egyptians-China and India-The Jews-Among the Greeks and Romans-Among Mahometans-Early Dicing-Dicing in England in the 13th and 14th Centuries-In the 17th Century-Celebrated Gamblers-Bourchier-Swiss Anecdote-Dicing in the 18th Century. Gaming is derived from the Saxon word Gamen, meaning joy, pleasure, sports, or gaming-and is so interpreted by Bailey, in his Dictionary of 1736; whilst Johnson gives Gamble-to play extravagantly for money, and this distinction is to be borne in mind in the perusal of this book; although the older term was in use until the invention of the later-as we see in Cotton's Compleat Gamester (1674), in which he gives the following excellent definition of the word: -"Gaming is an enchanting witchery, gotten between Idleness and Avarice: an itching disease, that makes some scratch the head, whilst others, as if they were bitten by a Tarantula, are laughing themselves to death; or, lastly, it is a paralytical distemper, which, seizing the arm, the man cannot chuse but shake his elbow.
