Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Sephardi Sea tells the story of Jews from the southern shore of the Mediterranean who, between the late 1940s and the mid-1960s, migrated from their country of birth for Europe, Israel, and beyond. It is a story that explores their contrasting memories of and feelings for a Sephardi Jewish world in North Africa and Egypt that is lost forever but whose echoes many still hear. Surely, some of these Jewish migrants were already familiar with their new countries of residence because of colonial ties or of Zionism, and often spoke the language. Why, then, was the act of leaving so painful and why, more than fifty years afterward, is its memory still so tangible? Dario Miccoli examines how the memories of a bygone Sephardi Mediterranean world became preserved in three national contexts—Israel, France, and Italy—where the Jews of the Middle East and North Africa and their descendants migrated and nowadays live. A Sephardi Sea exploreshow practices of memory- and heritage-making—from the writing of novels and memoirs to the opening of museums and memorials, the activities of heritage associations and state-led celebrations—has filled an identity vacuum in the three countries and helps the Jews from North Africa and Egypt to define their Jewishness in Europe and Israel today but also reinforce their connection to a vanished world now remembered with nostalgia, affection, and sadness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A portrait of 1940s America by a French writer, eg. "The constipated girl smiles a loving smile at the lemon juice that relieves her intestines. In the subway, in the streets, on magazine pages, these smiles pursue me like obsessions. I read on a sign in a drugstore, 'Not to grin is a sin.' Everyone obeys the order, the system. 'Cheer up! Take it easy.' Optimism is necessary for the country's social peace and economic prosperity."

Download or read book Women Writers and Old Age in Great Britain 1750 1850 written by Devoney Looser and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2008-08-01 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking study explores the later lives and late-life writings of more than two dozen British women authors active during the long eighteenth century. Drawing on biographical materials, literary texts, and reception histories, Devoney Looser finds that far from fading into moribund old age, female literary greats such as Anna Letitia Barbauld, Frances Burney, Maria Edgeworth, Catharine Macaulay, Hester Lynch Piozzi, and Jane Porter toiled for decades after they achieved acclaim -- despite seemingly concerted attempts by literary gatekeepers to marginalize their later contributions. Though these remarkable women wrote and published well into old age, Looser sees in their late careers the necessity of choosing among several different paths. These included receding into the background as authors of "classics," adapting to grandmotherly standards of behavior, attempting to reshape masculinized conceptions of aged wisdom, or trying to create entirely new categories for older women writers. In assessing how these writers affected and were affected by the culture in which they lived, and in examining their varied reactions to the prospect of aging, Looser constructs careful portraits of each of her Subjects and explains why many turned toward retrospection in their later works. In illuminating the powerful and often poorly recognized legacy of the British women writers who spurred a marketplace revolution in their earlier years only to find unanticipated barriers to acceptance in later life, Looser opens up new scholarly territory in the burgeoning field of feminist age studies.

Download or read book Guide to the paintings written by Musée Magnin and published by RMN. This book was released on 2016 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Installé tout près de l'ancienne place royale de Dijon et du palais des Ducs, dans l'un des plus beaux hôtels particuliers du XVIIe siècle, ce musée national doit son existence à deux collectionneurs passionnés, Maurice Magnin (1861-1939), haut magistrat parisien, et sa soeur Jeanne Magnin (1855-1937), peintre amateur et critique d'art. Soucieux de préserver l'âme des lieux, Maurice Magnin entreprend, dans les années 1930, de réaménager l'hôtel particulier pour y présenter sa collection d'oeuvres d'art sans altérer le caractère historique de la demeure. Aujourd'hui encore, les lieux ont conservé le charme si particulier d'une authentique maison de collectionneurs. La collection rassemble des oeuvres très variées mais surtout un fonds de plus de mille tableaux où se côtoient peintres de l'école du nord (Brueghel le jeune), oeuvres remarquables de Bologne, de Florence ou de Venise et grands noms de la peinture française du temps de Mazarin (Le Sueur, La Hyre).0Si le Grand Siècle est à l'honneur au sein de la collection française, Jeanne et Maurice Magnin ont également aimé les esquisses peintes du XVIIIe siècle et ont eu à coeur de défendre des talents oubliés du XIXe, en particulier des années romantiques.
