Tahar Ben Jelloun a ceci de particulier qu'il n'écrit pas à la manière d'un véritable romancier, habité par le souci d'inventer de grandes histoires, d'échafauder des intrigues ou de camper des caractères mémorables. Si le Réel est nettement inscrit dans son oeuvre, c'est en tant que problème et non pas reflet, en tant qu'entité protéiforme que le langage, en l'occurrence, poétique fouille, mais pour en saisir la dimension occulte: le non-dit ou l'inter-dit. Ce travail se propose de mettre à jour ce qu'on pourra appeler une poétique de Tahar Ben Jelloun, qui se veut non seulement investigation, dans le roman, de stratégies textuelles marquées du sceau du poétique, mais encore recherche de ce qui est en jeu pour et par l'auteur: la valorisation d'un imaginaire / vécu inhibés, l'écoute de soi et des autres, la quète identitaire. Cette poétique cherche également à répondre à des questions essentielles en adoptant, tant faire ...

City Moon is David Ohle's novelization of all 18 issues of his cult 1970s newspaper, heavily edited and re-processed. It is offered for the first time as a single volume. The neutrodynes, the satire, the mystery cults, as well as Ohle's dada-seance of Americana, are as vivid and intoxicating and seriously funny as ever. In Ohle's world, people (not to mention the many related species, including trochilics neutrodynes and necronauts, as well as cross-species creatures such as the ape of golf) are all part of a continuum of life in which human and animal life forms scarcely differ from each other. --Roger Martin Product details Format Paperback | 356 pages ...

Alvar Aalto remains Finland's greatest architect, retains his place among the Modern Masters of twentieth-century architecture and is now recognized internationally as one of the world's greatest architects of all time. For Finland, Aalto, through his architecture, furniture, glassware and sculpture, contributed perhaps more than any other Finn to the creation of the cultural identity of the new independent Finland and its promotion around the world. His Finnish Pavilions in Paris and New York from the Thirties placed Finland centre-stage, establishing its identity as a modern, innovative country and generated huge interest in this northern land of lakes and forests. He went on to work in 18 countries around the world, as well as designing many of Finland's most important buildings of the 50s, 60s and 70s. This new biography of Aalto is the first to comprehensively cover his life, from the backwoods of Ostrabothnia to international fame and all of his buildings, from the ...

Fr. De Caussade is most well known for his book Abandonment to Divine Providence. And for good reason - it is a spiritual classic. Less well known is the counsel he gave in (published) letters to cloistered nuns in his care. There is, I suppose, good reason for this, too - they constantly drive home, like nails through hands and feet, the need to abandon ourselves to Providence whatever the circumstances may be. One could call them repetitive: 148 letters in seven books with minor variations on the same theme. Yet what I discovered in reading (all of) them was how important that theme is, and how little I comprehend and practice its lesson. And so the needto drive the point home through repeated exposure to the same message. In fact, after having read the letters, written a distillation of each one, typed up the entries and proofread them several times... I still barely scratch the surface of understanding. How can we get it through our heads (and our hearts) that we must die with Chri...

Previously published in paperback as October Sky. Three years in the life of Homer 'Sonny' Hickam, from the moment he sees the Sputnik satellite overhead in West Virginia to his successful launch of a prizewinning rocket. In 1957, Coalwood, West Virginia, was a town the post-war boom never quite reached, and dominated by the black steel towers of the mine. For fourteen-year-old Homer 'Sonny' Hickam there are only two routes in life: a college football scholarship, or a life underground. But from the moment the town turns out to watch the world's first space satellite, Sputnik, as it passes overhead, Sonny and his friends embark on a mission of their own - to form the Big Creek Missile Agency, and build a rocket. Looking back after a distinguished career as a NASA engineer, Homer Hickam tells the warm, vivid story of youth and ambition that inspired the 1999 film October Sky. It is the tale of a group of teenage boys who dared to imagine a life beyond the confine...
