Synopsis Le Cygne Perdu by : Mélissa Mallet

L’urgentiste Kimberly Williams pensait qu'elle avait tout pour elle: une carrière en plein essor, un avenir prometteur et une relation passionnée avec le Docteur Stefan Armani. Jusqu’au jour où Stefan disparaît sans laisser de trace pour revenir seulement six mois plus tard, juste au moment où Kimberly commence à se remettre de son cœur brisé. Lorsque l'hôpital décide de les envoyer à un symposium médical à Londres, en Angleterre, les deux ex-amants doivent faire face à leur relation tendue. Il n'en faut pas beaucoup pour que leur ancienne flamme se rallume. Alors que tout semble aller pour le mieux, un tragique accident se produit et plonge Stefan dans un triangle amoureux inattendu. Leur amour pourra-t-il y survivre? Une aventure émouvante qui vous embarquera dans une montagne russe d'émotions fortes et de rebondissements surprenants, le tout au sein d'une histoire inspirée du ballet intemporel du Lac des cygnes.

Synopsis Fleurs du mal by : William J. Thompson

Surprisingly, there are few book-length studies available that approach the poems in Charles Baudelaireís collection on an individual basis. Understanding "Les Fleurs du Mal" fills this gap by providing students and serious readers with clear, scholarly "explications" to many of the most widely read of Baudelaire's poems.

Synopsis Present Past by : Richard Terdiman

This book is about memory—about how the past persists into the present, and about how this persistence has been understood over the past two centuries. Since the French Revolution, memory has been the source of an intense disquiet. Fundamental cultural theories have sought to understand it, and have striven to represent its stresses.

Synopsis Gaspar Cassadó by : Gabrielle Kaufman

Barcelonian Gaspar Cassadó (1897-1966) was one of the greatest cello virtuosi of the twentieth century and a notable composer and arranger, leaving a vast and heterogeneous legacy. In this book, Gabrielle Kaufman provides the first full-length scholarly work dedicated to Cassadó, containing the results of seven years of research into his life and legacy, after following the cellist’s steps through Spain, France, Italy and Japan. The study presents in-depth descriptions of the three main parts of Cassadó’s creative output: composition, transcription and performance, especially focusing on Cassadó’s plural and multi-facetted creativity, which is examined from both cultural and historical perspectives. Cassadó’s role within the evolution of twentieth-century cello performance is thoroughly examined, including a discussion regarding the musical and technical aspects of performing Cassadó’s works, aimed directly at performers. The study presents the first attempt at a comprehensive catalogue of Cassadó’s works, both original and transcribed, as well as his recordings, using a number of new archival sources and testimonies. In addition, the composer’s significance within Spanish twentieth-century music is treated in detail through a number of case studies, sustained by examples from recovered score manuscripts. Illuminated by extraordinary source material Gaspar Cassadó: Cellist, Composer and Transcriber expands and deepens our knowledge of this complex figure, and will be of crucial importance to students and scholars in the fields of Performance Practice and Spanish Music, as well as to professional cellists and advanced cello students.

Synopsis The Hidden Reader by : Victor Brombert

Victor Brombert is an unrivaled interpreter of French literature; and the writers he considers in this latest book are ones with whom he has a long acqualntance. These essays--eleven of them appearing in English for the first time and some totally new--give us an acute analysis of the major figures of the nineteenth century and a splendid lesson in criticism. Brombert shows how a text works--its structure and narrative devices, and the symbolic function of characters, episodes, words--and he highlights the distinctive postures and styles of each writer. He gives us a sense of the hidden inner text as well as the techniques writers have devised to lead their readers to the discovery of what is hidden. With wonderful subtlety he unravels the reader's participatory response, whether it be Hugo reading Shakespeare, Sartre reading Hugo, Stendhal reading Rousseau, T. S. Eliot misreading Baudelaire, or Baudelaire, Balzac, and Flaubert reading their own sensibilities. This book is a sterling example of the finest kind of literary criticism--wise, intelligent, responsive, sympathetic--that reveals central aspects of the creative process and returns the reader joyfully to the texts themselves.
