Le Prix
Une fois de plus, il n’a pas remporté le Prix ! Celui pour lequel il travaille sans relâche, celui qui fait tout le sens de son existence... Nous voilà plongés dans l’esprit tourmenté d’un sculpteur de « Ropfs » – étranges créatures mi-organiques, mi-artisanales qui surgissent de son nombril.

Que dire alors de la naissance de Remouflet qui s’annonce, et va de nouveau tout bouleverser, jusqu’au drame... À travers un monologue intérieur halluciné et cocasse, l’auteur nous embarque dans une épopée domestique où le réel s’évertue à battre en ...

Unsere Schweiz
Was ist "Heimat" – und wem "gehört" sie? Wenn von der Schweiz als "Heimat" die Rede ist, geht es meistens um traditionelle Bilder: Berge und Sennen mit sich rötendem Alpenfirn und Wilhelm Tell. Der Heimatbegriff wird gerne von nationalkonservativen Kreisen gekapert. Das muss nicht sein. Zur Rückeroberung eines instrumentalisierten Begriffs geben 50 Schweizer Persönlichkeiten in unterschiedlichen Textgattungen Auskunft über "ihre" Schweiz. Mit Beiträgen von (u.a.): Vania Alleva, Martin R. Dean, Daniela Dill, Jacqueline Fehr, Anita Fetz, Tim Guldimann, Andrea Hämmerle, Franz Hohler, Helmut Hubacher, Knackeboul, Georg Kreis, Ueli Mäder, Kurt Marti, Antoinette Rychner, Ruth Schweikert, Silva Semadeni, Aline Trede, Julia Weber.
Chrétien de Troyes
The supplement to the 1976 original bibliography reflects the expanding scope of modern Chrétien studies, including items from around the world, with the assistance of an international team of scholars. The Supplement builds on and completes the Chrétien de Troyes Bibliography first published in 1976. Together the two volumes constitute the fullest and most complete bibliographical source now available on this major medieval author. Chrétien de Troyes bequeathed a corpus of highly original and widely influential Arthurian romances. Indeed, his direct or indirect influence continued throughout the middle ages and beyond into modern times. The Bibliographypermits students of medieval romanc...
The Romances of Chretien de Troyes
Twelfth-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes was one of the most influential figures in Western literature, for his romantic poems on the legend of King Arthur gave rise to a tradition of storytelling that continues to this day. This important and fascinating book is a study of all of Chrétien’s work. Joseph J. Duggan begins with an introduction that sets Chrétien within the social and intellectual currents of his time. He then organizes the book in chapters that focus on major issues in Chrétien’s romances rather than on individual works, topics that range from the importance of kinship and genealogy to standards of secular moral responsibility and from Chrétien’s art of narration to his representation of knighthood. Duggan offers new perspectives on many of these themes: in a chapter on the influence of Celtic mythology, for example, he gives special attention to the ways Chrétien integrated portrayals of motivation with mythic themes and characters, and in discussing the Grail romance, he explores the parallels between Perceval’s and Gauvain’s adventures.
Barbarian Spring
On a business trip to Tunisia, Preising, a leading Swiss industrialist, is invited to spend the week with the daughter of a local gangster. He accompanies her to the wedding of two London city traders at a desert luxury resort that was once the site of an old Berber oasis. With the wedding party in full swing and the bride riding up the aisle on a camel, no one is aware that the global financial system stands on the brink of collapse. As the wedding guests nurse their hangovers, they learn that the British pound has depreciated tenfold, and their world begins to crumble around them. So begins Barbarian Spring, the debut novel from Jonas Lüscher, a major emerging voice in European fiction. The timely and unusual novel centers on a culture clash between high finance and the value system of the Maghreb. Provocative and entertaining, Barbarian Spring is a refreshingly original and all-too-believable satire for our times.
Arthurian Bibliography III: 1978-1992
Details of all published Arthurian work post 1978 to 1992. If one wants to scoop up nearly everything on an Arthurian subject, there is no substitute for the Arthurian Bibliography series. ANGLIA In 1981 the first Arthurian Bibliography appeared, an exhaustive alphabetical author-listing of all critical material recorded in the standard Arthurian bibliographies up to 1978. This was followed in 1983 by the second volume, giving full indexes by topic, key-word and individual work/author to form a complete subject-index of every topic in Arthurian literature. Summaries and reviews were also indicated where they existed. Arthurian Bibliography III updates this invaluable reference work for Arthurian scholars to 1992. Compiled from the BBSIA, it conveniently contains both author-listing and subject-index in one volume.
Women Readers and the Ideology of Gender in Old French Verse Romance
This study challenges the view that all courtly literature promoted the social status of women. Unlike previous books which focused on knights, it starts from the perspective of the woman reader/listener. Using reader-response theory, feminist criticism and recent historical studies, it suggests that romances taught gender roles, often inviting readers to criticise and resist them.
