Alfred Capus (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from Alfred Capus La vie littéraire d'alfred Capus peut se diviser en trois phases absolument distinctes il est d'abord journaliste, romancier ensuite, auteur dra matique enfin. On rencontre peu d'exemples, dans le monde des écrivains, d'une évolution aussi nor male: cela parce que peu d'hommes ont été aussi peu pressés que lui d'atteindre le but auquel ils aspiraient. Mais cette constatation devient encore infiniment plus curieuse quand on se rappelle que son premier article de journal était précisément consacréà Darwin. Le grand philosophe anglais venait de mourir(19 avril et le hasard avait voulu qu'aucun collaborateur du journal le Clairon n'osait ou ne pouvait se char...

Rites of Spring
This award-winning cultural history reveals how the Great War changed humanity. This sweeping volume probes the origins, the impact, and the aftermath of World War I—from the premiere of Igor Stravinsky’s ballet The Rite of Spring in 1913 to the death of Hitler in 1945. “The Great War,” as Modris Eksteins writes, “was the psychological turning point . . . for modernism as a whole. The urge to create and the urge to destroy had changed places.” In this “bold and fertile book” (The Atlantic Monthly), Eksteins goes on to chart the seismic shifts in human consciousness brought about by this great cataclysm, through the lives and words of ordinary people, works of literature, and such events as Lindbergh’s transatlantic flight and the publication of the first modern bestseller, All Quiet on the Western Front. Rites of Spring is a rare and remarkable work, a cultural history that redefines the way we look at our past—and toward our future.
