Book M  moires Olympiques

Download or read book M moires Olympiques written by Pierre de Coubertin and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-05-24 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un livre complet sur les JO ! Le texte mythique et fondateur de Coubertin, mais aussi un superbe dossier documentaire lié à Coubertin et aux JO. (de l’origine aux plus récents) illustré par le travail du plasticien et auteur Yoann Laurent-Rouault, maître diplômé des Beaux-Arts de Rennes et auteur de nombreux travaux littéraires. Une postface exceptionnelle de l’éditeur Jean-David Haddad, professeur agrégé de sciences économiques et sociales, vient couronner le tout en abordant les aspects économiques et sociétaux des JO. Charles Pierre Fredy de Coubertin, dit Pierre de Coubertin, honoré du titre de baron de Coubertin, eut par ses actions l’influence que l’on sait sur le monde du sport et sur une certaine internationalisation de la pratique sportive. Son nom est intimement lié à l’idée « d’entente des nations » comme à la notion de « saine compétition sportive entre les peuples ». Il est l’un des principaux acteurs de la rénovation des Jeux olympiques de l’ère moderne en 1894, date reconnue du premier congrès olympique moderne, et est un des fondateurs du Comité international olympique, dont il sera le président de 1896 à 1925. Coubertin représente aussi une paix symbolisée par le sport, au but de magnifier l’entente cordiale entre pays participants. Mais le rénovateur des Jeux olympiques était un homme de son temps. Et son portrait ne peut être en monochrome. Au-delà de « Mémoires Olympiques », ici publié, vous trouverez un dossier complet réalisé et illustré par Yoann Laurent-Rouault, sur les propos de Coubertin, sur ses choix et sur ses orientations, sur leurs contextes et bien évidemment sur l’histoire des Jeux olympiques modernes. En choisissant quelques olympiades qui ont été témoins de quelques grands bouleversements du XXe siècle, comme entre autres dates 1904, 1936, 1972, seront abordées les dates clés de l’histoire des JO. Vous verrez à quel point le sport est non seulement le porte-parole des époques, mais aussi leur témoin privilégié.

Book Orestes

    Book Details:
  • Author : Voltaire
  • Publisher : Simon and Schuster
  • Release : 2013-08-02
  • ISBN : 1627933212
  • Pages : 56 pages

Download or read book Orestes written by Voltaire and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-08-02 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orestes was produced in 1750, an experiment which intensely interested the literary world and the public. In his Dedicatory Letters to the Duchess of Maine, Voltaire has the following passage on the Greek drama: "We should not, I acknowledge, endeavor to imitate what is weak and defective in the ancients: it is most probable that their faults were well known to their contemporaries. I am satisfied, Madam, that the wits of Athens condemned, as well as you, some of those repetitions, and some declamations with which Sophocles has loaded his Electra: they must have observed that he had not dived deep enough into the human heart. I will moreover fairly confess, that there are beauties peculiar not only to the Greek language, but to the climate, to manners and times, which it would be ridiculous to transplant hither. Therefore I have not copied exactly the Electra of Sophocles-much more I knew would be necessary; but I have taken, as well as I could, all the spirit and substance of it."

  • Publisher : Univ of California Press
  • Release : 2024-07-26
  • ISBN : 0520377109
  • Pages : 427 pages

Download or read book Aging in the Past written by David I. Kertzer and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-07-26 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thanks to improved food, medicine, and living conditions, the average age of the population is increasing throughout the modern industrialized world. Yet, despite the recent upsurge of scholarly interest in the lives of older people and the blossoming of historical demography, little historical demographic attention has been paid to the lives of the elderly. A landmark volume, Aging in the Past marks the emergence of the historical demographic study of aging. Following a masterly explication of the new field by Peter Laslett, leading scholars in family history and historical demography offer new research results and fresh analyses that greatly increase our understanding of aging, historically and across cultures. Focusing primarily on post-Industrial Europe and the United States, they explore a range of issues under the broad topics of living arrangements, widowhood, and retirement and mortality. This important work provides a much-needed historical perspective on and suggests possible alternative solutions to the problems of the aged. Contributors: George Alter, Rudolf Andorka, Allen C.

Book Metamorphoses

    Book Details:
  • Author : Emanuele Coccia
  • Publisher : John Wiley & Sons
  • Release : 2021-06-09
  • ISBN : 1509545689
  • Pages : 180 pages

Download or read book Metamorphoses written by Emanuele Coccia and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-06-09 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are all fascinated by the mystery of metamorphosis – of the caterpillar that transforms itself into a butterfly. Their bodies have almost nothing in common. They don’t share the same world: one crawls on the ground and the other flutters its wings in the air. And yet they are one and the same life. Emanuele Coccia argues that metamorphosis – the phenomenon that allows the same life to subsist in disparate bodies – is the relationship that binds all species together and unites the living with the non-living. Bacteria, viruses, fungi, plants, animals: they are all one and the same life. Each species, including the human species, is the metamorphosis of all those that preceded it – the same life, cobbling together a new body and a new form in order to exist differently. And there is no opposition between the living and the non-living: life is always the reincarnation of the non-living, a carnival of the telluric substance of a planet – the Earth – that continually draws new faces and new ways of being out of even the smallest particle of its disparate body. By highlighting what joins humans together with other forms of life, Coccia’s brilliant reflection on metamorphosis encourages us to abandon our view of the human species as static and independent and to recognize instead that we are part of a much larger and interconnected form of life.
