Download or read book 13 rue Th r se written by Elena Mauli Shapiro and published by Reagan Arthur Books. This book was released on 2011-02-02 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American academic Trevor Stratton discovers a box full of artifacts from World War I as he settles into his new office in Paris. The pictures, letters, and objects in the box relate to the life of Louise Brunet, a feisty, charming Frenchwoman who lived through both World Wars. As Trevor examines and documents the relics the box offers up, he begins to imagine the story of Louise Brunet's life: her love for a cousin who died in the war, her marriage to a man who works for her father, and her attraction to a neighbor in her building at 13 rue Thérèse. The more time he spends with the objects though, the truer his imaginings of Louise's life become, and the more he notices another alluring Frenchwoman: Josianne, his clerk, who planted the box in his office in the first place, and with whom he finds he is falling in love.
Download or read book Music and Esotericism written by Laurence Wuidar and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010-05-15 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays analyzes the relationships that exist between esotericism and music from Antiquity to the 20th century, investigating ways in which magic, astrology, alchemy, divination, and cabbala interact with music. The volume seeks to dissolve artificial barriers between the history of art, music, science, and intellectual history by establishing an interdisciplinary dialogue about music as viewed against a specific cultural background. The synthesis of scientific and historical contexts with respect to music, explored here on a large scale for the first time, opens up a wealth of new approaches to music historical research, music performance, and musical composition. Each chapter presents either a unique example of music functioning within esoteric and scientific traditions or a demonstration of the influence of those traditions upon selected musical works. L’ouvrage analyse les relations entre l’ésotérisme et la musique de l’Antiquité au 20ème siècle étudiant comment la magie, l’astrologie, l’alchimie, la divination et la cabale ont interagit avec la musique. Il vise à dépasser les frontières entre l’histoire de l’art, l’histoire de la musique et l’histoire des sciences et des idées afin de nouer un dialogue interdisciplinaire sur la musique autour de contextes historiques et scientifiques précis. L’ouvrage offre une première synthèse sur les rapports entre ésotérisme et musique ainsi que diverses pistes de recherche à poursuivre.
Download or read book Coups d tat la fin du moyen ge written by François Foronda and published by Casa de Velázquez. This book was released on 2005 with total page 670 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forgé par Gabriel Naudé, au temps baroque d'une raison d'État triomphante, le concept de « coup d'État » peut-il s'appliquer à des âges antérieurs, en particulier à celui de la genèse médiévale de l'État moderne ? C'est à cette question d'histoire rétrospective qu'ont tenté de répondre les auteurs de cet ouvrage. Leurs réponses, qui dessinent un vaste panorama occidental et comparatiste - de l'Angleterre à la péninsule italienne et de la péninsule Ibérique à la Suède - tendent à démontrer que, bien avant de devenir un concept, le coup d'État a d'abord été une pratique généralisée. Car, quelle que soit la nature du régime politique en vigueur ici ou là, que le coup d'État vienne du dedans ou du dehors, qu'il soit perpétré par ceux qui ont le pouvoir ou par ceux qui le contestent et projettent de s'en emparer, il ramène aux fondements même d'une construction étatique en quête d'assurance et de réassurance. En d'autres termes, le coup d'État est comme une pratique constituante.

Download or read book Fifteenth Century Studies Vol 28 written by Edelgard E. DuBruck and published by Camden House. This book was released on 2003 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of the volume, in addition to standard features such as the bibliographical update on 15th-c. theater, is on late-medieval authors as literary critics. Founded in 1977 as the publication organ for the Fifteenth-Century Symposium, Fifteenth-Century Studies has appeared annually since then. It publishes essays on all aspects of life in the fifteenth century, including literature, drama, history, philosophy, art, music, religion, science, and ritual and custom. The editors strive to do justice to the most contested medieval century, a period that has long been the stepchild of research. The fifteenthcentury defies consensus on fundamental issues: some scholars dispute, in fact, whether it belonged to the middle ages at all, arguing that it was a period of transition, a passage to modern times. At issue, therefore, is the verytenor of an age that stood under the influence of Gutenberg, Columbus, the Devotio Moderna, and Humanism. Along with the standard updating of bibliography on 15th-c. theater, this volume is devoted to research on late-medieval authors as literary critics. Thus, for the historian as well as the writer of fiction, the tenuous limits between truth and fantasy (and the role of doubt) are investigated. If there are several eyewitness accounts of an event, which one can be trusted? Medieval memorialists sometimes became advisors to princes and used a rhetoric of careful persuasion. Values such as chivalry, courtly love, and kingly self-representation come up for discussion here.Several essays ponder the structure of poetic forms and popular genres, and others consider more factual topics such as incunabula on medications, religious literature in the vernacular for everyday use, a student's notebook on magic, and late medieval merchants, money, and trade. Contributors: Edelgard DuBruck, Karen Casebier, Emma J. Cayley, Albrecht Classen, Michael G. Cornelius, Jean Dufornet, Catherine Emerson, Leonardas V. Gerulaitis, Kenneth Hodges, Sharon M. Loewald, Luca Pierdominici, Michel J. Raby, Elizabeth I. Wade. Edelgard E. DuBruck is professor emerita in the Modern Languages Department at Marygrove College in Detroit; Barbara I. Gusick is professor emerita of English at Troy University-Dothan, Dothan, Alabama.
Download or read book Rocks Ice and Dirty Stones written by Marcia Pointon and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2017-03-15 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The king of stones, valued since antiquity for their unrivalled hardness, diamonds today are both desired and deplored. Once faceted and polished they glitter on the fingers of brides-to-be and in the ornaments of the super-rich, but their extraction from some of the world’s poorest countries remains contentious. Immensely valuable for their size, diamonds can be easily hidden and transported, making them perfect contraband. Diamonds have been widely used in industry since the nineteenth century and have long been valued for their pharmaceutical and prophylactic properties. This entertaining and richly illustrated book examines the history of the diamond trade through the centuries from India and Brazil to South Africa and Europe and investigates what happens to diamonds once they reach the cutters and polishers. Marcia Pointon takes the reader on a unique tour of the ways in which the quadrahedron diamond shape has inspired design, architecture, and painting, from the symbolism of medieval manuscripts to modern-day graffiti. She questions the etiquette of engagement rings, and she reminds us why and how lost, stolen, or cursed diamonds create suspense in so many classic novels and films. This compelling and fascinating account of the history of sparklers around the world will appeal to all who covet, as well as all who despise, the unparalleled brilliance and glitter of the diamond.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Pentec™te, cette f�te charmante, Žtait arrivŽe; les champs et les bois se couvraient de verdure et de fleurs; sur les collines et sur les hauteurs, dans les buissons et dans les haies, les oiseaux, rendus ˆ la joie, essayaient leurs gaies chansons; chaque prŽ fourmillait de fleurs dans les vallŽes odorantes; le ciel brillait dans une sŽrŽnitŽ majestueuse et la terre Žtincelait de mille couleurs. Noble, le roi des animaux, convoque sa cour; et tous ses vassaux s'empressent de se rendre ˆ son appel en grand Žquipage; de tous les points de l'horizon arrivent maints fiers personnages, LutkŽ la grue et Markart le geai, et tous les plus importants. Car le roi songe ˆ tenir sa cour d'une mani�re magnifique avec tous ses barons; il les a convoquŽs tous ensemble, les grands comme les petits. Nul ne devait y manquer et cependant il en manquait un: Reineke le renard, le rusŽ coquin, qui se garda bien de se rendre ˆ l'appel, ˆ cause de tous ses crimes passŽs. Comme la mauvaise conscience fuit le grand jour, le renard fuyait l'assemblŽe des seigneurs. Tous avaient ˆ se plaindre; ils Žtaient tous offensŽs; et, seul, Grimbert le blaireau, le fils de son fr�re, avait ŽtŽ ŽpargnŽ.
