Memories of May '68
This book charts and analyses the emergence of the conventional representation of the French events of 1968 and argues that the dominance of this narrative, despite its limitations, stems from the convenience that such a consensus provides for those that have been pivotal in shaping the collective memory of this critical moment in recent history.
May '68 and Its Afterlives
During May 1968, students and workers in France united in the biggest strike and the largest mass movement in French history. Protesting capitalism, American imperialism, and Gaullism, 9 million people from all walks of life, from shipbuilders to department store clerks, stopped working. The nation was paralyzed—no sector of the workplace was untouched. Yet, just thirty years later, the mainstream image of May '68 in France has become that of a mellow youth revolt, a cultural transformation stripped of its violence and profound sociopolitical implications. Kristin Ross shows how the current official memory of May '68 came to serve a political agenda antithetical to the movement's aspiratio...
Ernetti si enigma de la Ierusalim
O expeditie clandestina, aflata in cautarea Templului lui Solomon, descopera un cub enigmatic de piatra, vechi de trei mii de ani. In interior: un secret care ar putea pune sub semnul intrebarii veridicitatea Bibliei si credinta a miliarde de oameni. Exista o singura solutie pentru a evita haosul: o investigatie in trecut. La ordinul Papei Ioan Paul al II-lea, parintele Pellegrino Ernetti repune in functiune cronovizorul, aceasta masinarie extraordinara capabila sa vada in timp, proiectata in 1964, secretul cel mai bine pastrat de la Vatican. In cautarea adevarului, personajele vor calatori in timp pana in perioada regelui Solomon, si chiar mai mult, in Egiptul antic, in vremea domniei frumoasei Nefertiti, care poate detine cheia enigmei.

Part II covers the major authors and literary trends of French science fiction, fantasy, and horror from the Middle Ages to the present day. (French-Canadians and Belgians are also examined.) There is a biographical dictionary of over 3,000 authors, a section on major French awards, and a complete bibliography. Many illustrations (!) illuminate this thorough presentation.
Positiver la crise avec Yves Montand
Vive la Crise, présenté par Yves Montand, et diffusé le 22 février 1984 sur Antenne 2 (l'actuelle France 2) mélangeait vrais et faux reportages télévisés, le tout avec une volonté affichée de pédagogie économique. L'émission était un docu-fiction avant l'heure diffusé en prime-time. Le but? Rendre la crise supportable, voire excitante (pour les plus optimistes). Beaucoup de détracteurs y ont vu une justification du "tournant de la rigueur"opéré par le gouvernement socialiste.

Masina Ernetti
Martie 1938. Fizicianul italian Ettore Majorana dispare in largul Siciliei si, odata cu el, proiectul secret la care lucra de ani de zile. Toamna anului 1955. Ca prin minune, insemnarile fizicianului disparut ies la iveala si ii dau parintelui Ernetti o idee nebuneasca: sa construiasca o masinarie care sa surprinda imagini din trecut. Un cronovizor. La ordinul Papei Pius al XII-lea, preotul se intoarce cu doua mii de ani in trecut, cu un obiectiv simplu: sa dovedeasca existenta lui Hristos.

Construit ca un serial de t...
