La captive de Mitterrand
Le 11 janvier 1996, lors des obsèques de François Mitterrand, la France entière découvre le visage d’Anne Pingeot. La maîtresse de l’ancien président de la République, la mère de Mazarine, au premier rang à côté de Danielle, l’épouse officielle : l’image fera le tour du monde, émouvante pour les uns, scandaleuse pour les autres. Depuis ce jour, Anne Pingeot est retournée dans l’obscurité. Obstinément silencieuse. Que veut-elle dissimuler ? Sa force de caractère, seule femme qui savait tenir tête à François Mitterrand ? Ou son ambition, elle qui, comme les reines de France, a laissé son empreinte sur le patrimoine national, veillant à la réalisation du Grand L...
François Mitterrand
Tiersky examines the three major themes of Mitterrand's presidency-socialism, national reconciliation, and the reconstruction of Europe-and shows that on each count, Mitterrand left a decisive mark.
Lettres à Anne (1962-1995)
En 1962, un homme politique français de quarante-six ans rencontre à Hossegor, chez ses parents, une jeune fille de dix-neuf ans. La première lettre qu'il lui adresse le 19 octobre 1962 sera suivie de mille deux cent dix-sept autres qui se déploieront, sans jamais perdre de leur intensité, jusqu'en 1995, à la veille de sa mort. Les lettres de celui qui fut deux fois président de la République nous dévoilent des aspects totalement inconnus d'un homme profondément secret que chacun croyait connaître. Deux lettres, parmi des centaines, témoignent de la constance de cet amour. 15 novembre 1964 : "Je bénis, ma bien-aimée, ton visage où j'essaie de lire ce que sera ma vie. Je t'ai rencontrée et j'ai tout de suite deviné que j'allais partir pour un grand voyage. Là où je vais je sais au moins que tu seras toujours. Je bénis ce visage, ma lumière. Il n'y aura plus jamais de nuit absolue pour moi. La solitude de la mort sera moins solitude. Anne, mon amour." Et la correspondance prend fin le 22 septembre 1995 : "Tu m'as toujours apporté plus. Tu as été ma chance de vie. Comment ne pas t'aimer davantage?"
Betrayals And Treason
In Betrayals and Treason Nachman Ben-Yehuda identifies the universal structure of betrayals as the violation of trust and loyalty and charts the different manifestations and constructions of these violations, all within numerous cases across time, place, and cultures. Betrayals do not just lie in the eyes of the beholder, completely relative. While the very idea of betrayals is a social construct, underlying it is a universal structure of violations of both trust and loyalty. Whenever this structure materializes, the label "betrayal" is invoked and applied.
Degas Sculptures
"Documenting one of only four complete, "vintage" sets of the bronzes, this lavishly illustrated catalogue presents for the first time stunning color images of the sculptures together with the archival photographs taken by Gautier of the original models found in Degas's studio in 1917-1918, and the historic photographs taken fifty years ago by the well-known Swiss art photographer Leonard von Matt." "The essays offer the general reader an exploration of Degas and his sculpture. Included are an interview with Degas himself, introductions to mid-century exhibitions, and reflections of contemporary thinking on the artist, his motivations, and the complex casting history of these works. The appendixes cover the results of extensive recent research into newly available archives, some previously published only in French."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The Central Liberal Truth
Which cultural values, beliefs, and attitudes best promote democracy, social justice, and prosperity? How can we use the forces that shape cultural change, such as religion, education, and political leadership, to promote these values in the Third World--and for underachieving minorities in the First World? In this book, Lawrence E. Harrison offers intriguing answers to these questions, in a valuable follow-up to his acclaimed Culture Matters. Drawing on a three-year research project that explored the cultural values of dozens of nations--from Botswana, Sweden, and India to China, Egypt, and Chile--Harrison offers a provocative look at values around the globe, revealing how each nation's cul...
