Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nous vivons aujourd'hui dans un monde où il nous est proposé une pléthore de choses visant à assurer notre bonheur. L' aspiration humaine à l'épanouissement ne date pas de nos jours. Elle est aussi vieille que l'humanité. Seulement, au fil des âges, les moyens conduisant à cette félicité tant désirée se modifient, se muent et se différencient. Mais ces moyens qui se sophistiquent de plus en plus, il faut l'admettre, semblent produire de maigres résultats. L'exploration et la prolifération de ce vaste spectre de moyens pour aboutir à la même chose ont donné naissance aux sciences de motivation et de développement personnel. Cependant, la dépression gagne et domine toujours la vie de plusieurs qui s'appuient pourtant sur elles, malgré la pertinence de ses principes. On se pose donc une question: si le problème qui est le même depuis que l'humanité a vu le jour, s'associe aux moyens fluctuants, aboutirait-on au même résultat ? La réponse étant catégoriquement non, elle nous a conduit à nous interroger autrement: si le problème est invariable, il faut aussi un ou des moyens invariables pour qu'on ait un résultat identique. Quel est donc ce moyen invariable pour trouver le bonheur ? C'est ce que ce livre nous invite à découvrir.

Book excerpt: How many times have you been driving along and suddenly see a makeshift cross, a fence post or a milepost with flowers hanging on it, a sign that some poor soul had found their way there, only to find the ever after? I have wondered countless times in countless places traveling alone, and see a lone cross on the side of the road, wondering what kind of life brought some wayward soul to this spot sometimes so desolate, why would they be there, of course some of those sites are for pets that lost their way and had an unfortunate accident with an uncaring driver too caught up in their own problems to look out for anything on the road, after all the roads are made for cars. "How dare anything or anyone be out here while I'm trying to go from one place to another." If only they should know what I know they wouldn't be so brazen to think theirs is the only life that matters. All Lives Matter This is the story behind just one of those many markers dotting the roads we so thoroughly take for granted. One lifetime of pain, filling another life with wonder and appreciation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the Christmas Office party Ricky's boss makes him redundant. Returning home he finds that his wife Diane has left him. Ricky gets drunk and attempts to drive home. Falling asleep at the wheel he narrowly avoids a lanky man in the middle of the road only to hit a small pudgy man and crashes his car. He wakes up to find the vehicle feet away from a raging river and slipping slowly toward it. Accepting his fate he awaits a watery grave but suddenly a stranger appears and rescues him. Once they reach safety Ricky discovers his saviour is George Bailey, the character from 'It's a Wonderful Life'. Ricky understands that, according to the nightmare scenario, he is in Pottersville but nevertheless is convinced he's dreaming. After George runs off into town Clarence appears, and now realises that Clarence was the small guy he thought he'd killed with his car. Reluctantly he begins to accept the situation but unknown to them, rather than feel abhorrence toward Pottersville, George Bailey is in town and beginning to take to his new world. He has got romantically linked with Violet Bick and now doesn't want to go back to Bedford Falls. Ricky realises that if he can persuade George to return, he can go with him to a place he always dreamed of living in and leave the hurt of his own past behind. He enters the Dime and Dance looking for George and Violet but gets wrongly arrested for lewd behaviour and Clarence deserts him. In Bert's jailhouse he meets Henry Potter who has given George a job as his bailiff. Clarence appears and releases him only to disappear again when they finally catch up with George, who is on his way to evict Martini and his family. Inadvertently Ricky makes George drive past the old Granville House, his house in Bedford Falls, and as they stand in front of the old building Ricky begins to manipulate the conversation toward Bedford Falls and to the point in Clarence's plan where George begs to live again. He runs off to find Mary while Ricky eludes Bert the cop who just misses him with a bullet. When George returns he meets Ricky beside the bridge where he originally planned to commit suicide and George tries to take Ricky back with him but he refuses realising only now that each man needs to create his own Bedford Falls and not desire someone else's. George goes back and it snows again, signifying they are back in Bedford Falls. Suddenly, Clarence reappears. Ricky questions him about how he will get home when Bert the cop drives around the corner and runs over him. Ricky wakes up back in his crashed car and walks home. Christmas Morning Ricky is asleep in front on the TV. Diane returns for some of her stuff but notices Ricky has finally finished a DIY job she'd been asking him to do for ages. Behind them the TV bursts into life with the opening titles of 'It's a Wonderful Life'. Diane gets them both a drink and sits down with him to watch it.

Download or read book Rethinking Debussy written by Elliott Antokoletz and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-15 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Composer, pianist, and critic Claude Debussy's musical aesthetic represents the single most powerful influence on international musical developments during the long fin de siècle period. The development of Debussy's musical language and style was affected by the international political pressures of his time, beginning with the Franco-Prussian War of 1871 and the rise of the new Republic in France, and was also related to the contemporary philosophical conceptualization of what constituted art. The Debussy idiom exemplifies the ways in which various disciplines - musical, literary, artistic, philosophical, and psychological - can be incorporated into a single, highly-integrated artistic conception. Rethinking Debussy draws together separate areas of Debussy research into a lucid perspective that reveals the full significance of the composer's music and thought in relation to the broader cultural, intellectual, and artistic issues of the twentieth century. Ranging from new biographical information to detailed interpretations of Debussy's music, the volume offers significant multidisciplinary insight into Debussy's music and musical life, as well as the composer's influence on the artistic developments that followed. Chapters include: "Russian Imprints in Debussy's Piano Music"; "Music as Encoder of the Unconscious in Pelléas et Mélisande"; "An Artist High and Low, or Debussy and Money"; "Debussy's Ideal Pelléas and the Limits of Authorial Intent"; "Debussy in Daleville: Toward Early Modernist Hearing in the United States"; and more. Rethinking Debussy will appeal to students and scholars of French music, opera, and modernism, and literary and French studies scholars, particularly concerned with Symbolism and theatre. General readers will be drawn to the book as well, particularly to chapters focusing on Debussy's finances, dramatic works, and reception.

Download or read book Thomas Paine written by Craig Nelson and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2007-09-04 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh new look at the Enlightenment intellectual who became the most controversial of America's founding fathers Despite his being a founder of both the United States and the French Republic, the creator of the phrase "United States of America," and the author of Common Sense, Thomas Paine is the least well known of America's founding fathers. This edifying biography by Craig Nelson traces Paine's path from his years as a London mechanic, through his emergence as the voice of revolutionary fervor on two continents, to his final days in the throes of dementia. By acquainting us as never before with this complex and combative genius, Nelson rescues a giant from obscurity-and gives us a fascinating work of history.
Download or read book Images written by Paul Roberts and published by Hal Leonard Corporation. This book was released on 2001 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paris at the turn of the 20th century was obsessed with the interrelations of the arts. It was a time when artists and writers spoke of poetry as music, sounds as colors, and paintings as symphonies. The music of Claude Debussy, with its unique textures and dazzling colors, was the perfect counterpart to the bold new styles of painting in France. Paul Roberts probes the sources of Debussy's artistic inspiration, relating the "impressionist" titles to the artistic and literary ferment of the time. He also draws on his own performing experience to touch on all the principal technical problems for a performer of Debussy's piano music. His many suggestions about interpreting the music will be particularly valuable to performers as well as listeners.

Download or read book French Cultural Politics Music written by Jane F. Fulcher and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1999 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that French musical meanings and values in the years from 1898 to 1914 are best explained not in terms of contemporary artistic movements, but rather in terms of the political culture, which was undergoing subtle but profound transformation as nationalist leagues enlarged the arena of political action. Applying recent insights from French history, sociology, political anthropology, and literary theory, the book reveals how nationalists used critics, educational institutions, concert series and lectures to disseminate their values through a discourse on French music; and it demonstrates how the Republic and Left responded to this challenge through their own discourses on French musical values. Against this background Fulcher traces the impact of this politicized musical culture on composers such as d'Indy, Charpentier, Magnard, Debussy, and Satie.
