Book excerpt: Neuf dieux gouvernaient jadis le monde, jusqu'à ce qu'une ultime trahison ne les mène à leur perte. Depuis, le monde se meurt et seul le retour des Dieux disparus pourra le sauver. Les habitants de Pozhar craignent le retour de Zhar Ptitsa, le Dieu des Âmes et de la Résurrection qui, pris d'une colère terrible, a bien failli tous les détruire il y a neuf cents ans. Pour l'empêcher de renaître, le peuple pourchasse et sacrifie les Réceptacles, ceux-là mêmes qui depuis leur naissance possèdent en eux un fragment de l'âme de Zhar Ptitsa. Les Écrits sacrés proclament que mille d'entre eux seront mis au monde et que tous doivent être sacrifiés afin de détruire Zhar Ptitsa une fois pour toute. De nos jours, seuls restent deux fragments, enfouis dans le corps de voleurs bien décidés à ne pas se laisser jeter aux Flammes sans combattre.

Download or read book The Personal and the Political written by Charles de Secondat baron de Montesquieu and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2008 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Personal and the Political presents three fables written by social commentator and political thinker Charles-Louis de Secondat, Baron de La Brede et de Montesquieu: The Temple of Cnidus (on eros and justice), Lysimachus (on philosophy and imperial ambition), and Dialogue de Sylla et d'Eucrate (on the limits of political ambition). This work is author W.B. Allen's response to attempts that collapse Montesquieu's analysis of modern political philosophy into a general discussion of virtue and morality by raising anew the issues of true and false happiness and pleasures. Allen maintains that Montesquieu's fables demonstrate the continuing relevance of the issue of philosophical morality, and offer a reconciliation of the tension between philosophical morality and political morality. The Personal and the Political provides a translation of each fable (with parallel French text), a brief introduction and commentaries to develop the context in which each is written and the situations that they address. Each fable is suited to introduce Montesquieu's conceptions of ancient virtues and vices, and what they contribute to modern sensibilities.
Download or read book Variations stylistiques written by Diane M. Dansereau and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2016-02-23 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This advanced level course book teaches stylistic variations of modern French grammar using examples from films and interviews as well as other authentic texts. Written entirely in French, it focuses on the most difficult grammar points and their usage, rather than on their formation. Variations stylistiques includes an abundance of oral and written exercises that are practical, relevant, creative, and fun, encouraging students to use the grammar in meaningful contexts. By highlighting the many linguistic variants employed by native speakers, Dansereau provides an engaging alternative to traditional French grammar textbooks. An ancillary Web site features quizzes and other valuable resources for instructors.
Download or read book Belle de Zuylen Isabelle de Charri re written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suisse romande depuis son mariage, mais ayant passé la première moitié de sa vie aux Pays-Bas où le français était devenu très tôt sa langue « naturelle », Belle de Zuylen / Isabelle de Charrière joue quelque peu les trublions dans nos habitudes académiques. Lire son œuvre – ses lettres, ses romans, ses pamphlets et ses pièces de théâtre – c’est accepter des retouches à notre tableau des Lumières qui n’en ressortira pas indemne ; c’est revoir les limites du champ de la critique littéraire, structuré et hiérarchisé depuis le XIXe siècle en fonction de littératures « nationales ». Bilingue (français et anglais), ce recueil contient des articles basés sur les contributions à un colloque international qui s’est tenu à l’Université d’Utrecht en avril 2005 pour commémorer le bicentenaire de la mort de l’écrivaine. As a Dutch woman who spent half her life in Switzerland and chose French as her writing language, Belle de Zuylen / Isabelle de Charrière parades a defiant attitude towards the constraints of the literary field. To read with care her letters, her novels, pamphlets and plays means accepting some modifications to our picture of the Enlightenment, and obliges us to question the limits of the field of literary criticism such as it has been structured since the nineteenth century, that is, along the lines of national canons. This bilingual volume (English and French) contains articles based on contributions to the international congress that was organized at Utrecht University in April 2005 on the occasion of the bicentennial of the author’s death.

Download or read book Printed Poison written by Jeffrey K. Sawyer and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-11-10 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining a broad analysis of political culture with a particular focus on rhetoric and strategy, Jeffrey Sawyer analyzes the role of pamphlets in the political arena in seventeenth-century France. During the years 1614-1617 a series of conflicts occurred in France, resulting from the struggle for domination of Louis XIII's government. In response more than 1200 pamphlets—some printed in as many as eighteen editions—were produced and distributed. These pamphlets constituted the political press of the period, offering the only significant published source of news and commentary. Sawyer examines key aspects of the impact of pamphleteering: the composition of the targeted public and the ways in which pamphlets were designed to affect its various segments, the interaction of pamphlet printing and political action at the court and provincial levels, and the strong connection between pamphlet content and assumptions on the one hand and the evolution of the French state on the other. His analysis provides new and valuable insights into the rhetoric and practice of politics. Sawyer concludes that French political culture was shaped by the efforts of royal ministers to control political communication. The resulting distortions of public discourse facilitated a spectacular growth of royal power and monarchist ideology and influenced the subsequent history of French politics well into the Revolutionary era.
