Download or read book Exit Ghost written by Philip Roth and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2007-10-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like Rip Van Winkle returning to his hometown to find that all has changed, Nathan Zuckerman comes back to New York, the city he left eleven years before. Alone on his New England mountain, Zuckerman has been nothing but a writer: no voices, no media, no terrorist threats, no women, no news, no tasks other than his work and the enduring of old age. Walking the streets like a revenant, he quickly makes three connections that explode his carefully protected solitude. One is with a young couple with whom, in a rash moment, he offers to swap homes. They will flee post-9/11 Manhattan for his country refuge, and he will return to city life. But from the time he meets them, Zuckerman also wants to swap his solitude for the erotic challenge of the young woman, Jamie, whose allure draws him back to all that he thought he had left behind: intimacy, the vibrant play of heart and body. The second connection is with a figure from Zuckerman’s youth, Amy Bellette, companion and muse to Zuckerman’s first literary hero, E. I. Lonoff. The once irresistible Amy is now an old woman depleted by illness, guarding the memory of that grandly austere American writer who showed Nathan the solitary path to a writing vocation. The third connection is with Lonoff’s would-be biographer, a young literary hound who will do and say nearly anything to get to Lonoff’s “great secret.” Suddenly involved, as he never wanted or intended to be involved again, with love, mourning, desire, and animosity, Zuckerman plays out an interior drama of vivid and poignant possibilities. Haunted by Roth’s earlier work The Ghost Writer, Exit Ghost is an amazing leap into yet another phase in this great writer’s insatiable commitment to fiction.

Download or read book Avanc es en ophtalmologie apport de la conqu te spatiale written by CORBÉ Christian and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’aventure spatiale a imposé une connaissance approfondie des mécanismes d’interface entre l’homme et un environnement hostile. Elle a mis en évidence la complexité du système visuel, son intégration avec les autres sens et la place essentielle des facteurs que sont l’attention, la cognition et la représentation mentale. La vision est donc apparue non seulement comme une fonction dédiée à un organe particulier, mais surtout comme une des fonctions nécessaires à la survie d’un organisme entier. Fruit d’une approche pluridisciplinaire, Avancées en ophtalmologie – Apport de la conquête spatiale montre comment la recherche en neurosciences liée aux vols spatiaux habités a permis des progrès remarquables dans le domaine des spécialités de la vision. Cet ouvrage relate également une aventure médicale et précise les bases physio-pathogéniques qui ont contribué à la structuration médicalisée du concept de malvoyance, puis à sa prise en charge et à son enseignement. Il s’adresse non seulement à l’ensemble des professionnels de la vision, mais aussi aux ergothérapeutes, psychomotriciens, instructeurs en locomotion, psychologues, gériatres, chercheurs, médecins généralistes, etc...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A l'image de l'université de Makerere qui a accueilli il y a quelques années les auteurs de cet ouvrage, rassemblés pour faire le point sur la situation de la recherche dans leurs pays respectifs, les universités d'Afrique de l'Est et de la région des Grands Lacs ont surmonté les destructions de toutes sortes qui ont frappé la région durant les années 1990. Après une décennie de crises politiques, sociales et économiques, le tournant du XXIe siècle voit se développer une sorte de renaissance. Du Burundi au Kenya, de l'Ouganda au Rwanda, de la République démocratique du Congo à la Tanzanie, les universitaires et chercheurs regroupés ici témoignent, dans leurs monographies, des réflexions qui traversent leur collectivité scientifique, qu'il s'agisse des universités de Dar es-Salaam ou de Lubumbashi, de celle de Ngozi dans le nord du Burundi ou du Pole Institute au Nord-Kivu. Ce livre fait écho à des débats tant scientifiques que politiques, institutionnels ou sociaux. Ils portent sur les enjeux des différentes disciplines des sciences humaines (histoire, géographie, linguistique, science politique), en particulier dans leur confrontation avec les obsessions identitaires nourries par les conflits. Les institutions universitaires africaines se trouvent en outre confrontées au mouvement général de redéfinition qui touche aujourd'hui l'enseignement supérieur au niveau mondial. Enfin, le statut des enseignants-chercheurs doit aussi compter avec le développement de l'expertise, avec tous les défis de ces recherches appliquées. Un intellectuel du Kivu disait récemment : "J'ai toujours pensé que l'intellectuel, c'est celui qui doit créer le changement ". Une mission qui est rappelée ici avec clarté, tant les défis et les chantiers sont nombreux dans une région en reconstruction où les populations aspirent à plus de démocratie et à un mieux-être économique.

This book was released on 2012-07-17 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Par sa familiarité avec la culture afro-brésilienne, Celina Scheinowitz est en mesure d'éprouver une grande empathie à l'égard du discours haïtien. C'est ce que lui permet de reconnaître le caractère poétique et d'en signaler l'aspect novateur. Ainsi, elle met à jour, sous le découpage du texte en paragraphes écrits à l'aide de caractères typographiques différents, la volonté de passer d'une forme de dialogue théâtral à une découpage du récit.Paradoxalement sous les oripeaux des mystères du vodoun et des misères du sous-développement, Celina Scheinowitz nous fait saisir comment Frankétienne peut nous communiquer ses révoltes et ses rêves, ses peurs et son émerveillement, dans un tourbillon du langage auquel son art communique une modernité et une poésie universelles.
