Download or read book Les jeux olympiques written by Floyd Conner and published by La maison d'éditions LME. This book was released on 2010 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Margaret Abbott a gagné l'épreuve de golf en 1900 sans savoir qu'elle participait aux jeux olympiques. Stella Walsh, qui remporta le 100 mètres féminin en 1932 à Los Angeles, était en réalité... un homme. Le boxeur iranien Ali Kazemi a été disqualifié en 1992 à Barcelone, parce qu'il avait oublié... ses gants. Une bizarrerie des jeux de Paris en 1900 fut la course sous-marine. Les concurrents recevaient 2 points pour chaque mètre parcouru sous l'eau, et 1 point pour chaque seconde passée immergé. Le vainqueur fut Charles de Vendeville, un Français. Le troisième, le Danois Peder Lykkeberg, resta sous l'eau 22 secondes de plus que Vendeville, mais il nagea en rond ! Marielle Goitschel, connue pour ses coups de gueule retentissants, n'était pas dénuée d'humour. Ainsi, lors de la conférence de presse suivant sa médaille d'or au géant d'Innsbruck, en 1964, elle annonça ses fiançailles avec Jean-Claude Killy. De nombreux journalistes diffusèrent l'info sans la vérifier, ni réaliser que c'était une blague. Ce livre propose plus de 600 infos, portraits d'athlètes et récits de compétitions qui ont marqué les jeux. L'humour est souvent présent, certaines anecdotes semblent incroyables, mais tout est vrai. Le lecteur côtoie le meilleur comme le pire, les rires comme les drames, le futile comme l'essentiel. Un livre complètement décalé qui apporte un regard différent sur cet événement planétaire.

Download or read book Le Football written by Russ Crawford and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2016-08 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are two kinds of football in France. American football was first played in France in 1909 during the cruise of the Great White Fleet. Then, during World War I, the American military shipped footballs, helmets, and shoulder pads alongside rifles and ammunition to the western front. A 1938 tour of two teams lead by Jim Crowley of Fordham University maintained the game until World War II, when the arrival of millions of young Americans in France motivated the U.S. military to sponsor several bowl games. During the 1950s and 1960s, when the United States occupied bases in France during the Cold War, American soldiers, sailors, and airmen played more than a thousand football games. When France withdrew from NATO, however, American bases were forced to close, leaving American football without a natural home on Gallic shores. In the 1970s American college and semi-pro teams tried once more to generate interest in the game among French nationals through a series of tours, but until a French physical education instructor vacationed in Colorado and brought equipment back to France, there was little local enthusiasm for the sport. On the back of that vacation, and from one team in Paris, organized American football in France grew to more than 215 teams with more than 22,000 active players today. Le Football tackles the struggles and successes of American football in France and discusses how, unlike baseball and basketball, football has never been an overt instrument of American cultural influence. Russ Crawford keeps the chains moving as he shows how the modern, homegrown sport developed largely independent of American encouragement into a small but successful culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greek women routinely wore the veil. That is the unexpected finding of this meticulous study, one with interesting implications for the origins of Western civilisation. The Greeks, popularly (and rightly) credited with the invention of civic openness, are revealed as also part of a more Eastern tradition of seclusion. Llewellyn-Jones' work proceeds from literary and, notably, from iconographic evidence. In sculpture and vase painting it demonstrates the presence of the veil, often covering the head, but also more unobtrusively folded back onto the shoulders. This discreet fashion not only gave a priviledged view of the face to the ancient art consumer, but also, incidentally, allowed the veil to escape the notice of traditional modern scholarship. From Greek literary sources, the author shows that full veiling of the head and face was commonplace. He analyses the elaborate Greek vocabulary for veiling and explores what the veil meant to achieve. He shows that the veil was a conscious extension of the house and was often referred to as `tegidion', literally `a little roof'. Veiling was thus an ingeneous compromise; it allowed women to circulate in public while mainting the ideal of a house-bound existence. Alert to the different types of veil used, the author uses Greek and more modern evidence (mostly from the Arab world) to show how women could exploit and subvert the veil as a means of eloquent, sometimes emotional, communication. First published in 2003 and reissued as a paperback in 2010, Llewellyn-Jones' book has established itself as a central - and inspiring - text for the study of ancient women.

Book excerpt: "Esther Happy" is one of the four parts of the serial novel, "The Splendors and Miseries of Courtesans (also known as, "A Harlot High and Low,") a novel by French novelist Honoré de Balzac. Lucien de Rubempré and Carlos Herrera (Vautrin) have made a pact, in which Lucien will arrive at success in Paris if he agrees to follow Vautrin's instructions blindly. Esther van Gobseck throws a wrench into Vautrin's best-laid plans, however, because Lucien falls in love with her and she with him. One night, however, the incredibly rich banker Baron de Nucingen spots Esther and falls deeply in love with her. When Vautrin realizes that Nucingen's obsession is with Esther, he decides to use her power as a tool to help advance Lucien by extrapolating the maximum amount of money from the Baron as possible. Something that will result in a series of tragic results...
