The Convent's Assassin
The Convent’s Assassin A nun has been murdered. In the room a sleeping body offers its uncovered throat. In a split second, the murder-ous arm rises and strikes its target two times. The weapon pierces the throat to the right and to the left. The body convulses for a moment before surrendering to death. The door closes and the shadow slips back into the darkness. The deceased is Mother Notre-Dame-Des-Pins, the Mother Guardian of the Convent. One could say that she was a mean and cruel woman. Many lives were held captive in her hands. All feared destruction by her vengeful nature. She had to die. However, who possessed the courage to administer justice? Was the killer a nun or her young paramour? Or rather, these two lovers surprised in action by the terrible woman? Or perhaps this good chaplain with a heavy conscience? Just what goes on behind the closed doors of Convents? Set in the 1950s, this spell-binding murder mystery holds its secrets until the very end.
Les Tempetes De La Vie
“Di hari resital Chopin itu, seorang asing yang tak kukenal datang menyapaku. Seorang yang sama, yang mengatakan ingin menjadi temanku. Dia menyusup di antara pintu-pintu sempit dan gelap itu hanya untuk menemukan diriku yang sebenarnya.” –Aurore *** Paris, 1848 Nada bertaut kian kemari, naik dan turun, seakan mengasingkan sang gadis di antara bukit-bukit salju. Pula warna-warni nada itu terasa seperti sinar putih musim dingin. Alunannya menjebak setiap pendengar dalam badai salju di hati mereka masing-masing. Begitu dingin, begitu biru, begitu beku. Amat sunyi. Gadis itu sedang menanti, tetapi bukan seseorang yang didambanya… melainkan sebuah kebebasan. Semua telinga mendengarkan alunan musik mengalir dari setiap jari Aurore. Mereka tidak tahu jika gadis itu tidak hanya lihai bermain piano, namun juga gesit berdansa dengan pedang. Bilah-bilah panjang tersebut tampak mengerikan di kedua tangan Aurore. Setiap sayat pedangnya adalah api pembakar hati. Hantamnya bagai batu perajam jiwa. Tatap matanya laksana duri penjerat setiap asa. Gadis itu bagaikan kematian.
Studies at the Grammar-Discourse Interface
This book investigates phenomena at the grammar–discourse interface with a strong focus on discourse markers, whose development and concrete uses in a given language tend to be based on a close interplay of grammatical and discourse-related forces. The topics range from the transition of linguistic signs “out of” sentence grammar and “into” the domain of discourse to differences between more grammatical vs. more discourse-pragmatic expressions in terms of structural behavior and cognitive processing, and the different, intricate ways in which the usage conditions and meanings of grammatical constituents or structural units are affected by the discourse context in which they are used. The twelve studies in this book are based on fresh empirical data from languages such as English, Basque, Korean, Japanese and French and involve the study of linguistic expressions and structures such as pragmatic markers and particles, comment clauses, expletives, adverbial connectors, and expressives.
Pétersbourg
Né en 1880, Andréi Biély fut avec Alexandre Blok un des chefs de file de la seconde génération symboliste en Russie. Mais son art de la métaphore, son écriture novatrice font sutout de lui un des maîtres du futurisme russe et de la "prose ornementale" des années vingt en URSS ...

Le héros
Dans « l’homme de cour » et « le héros », Baltasar Gracían se révèle un grand spécialiste de la casuistique (normal pour un jésuite) et du cynisme. Il ne conseille pas de mentir, mais de laisser à l’interlocuteur le soin de croire ce qui lui plaira le mieux. Il ne faut pas mentir, mais il ne faut pas dire toute la vérité… Tout cela nous évoque Le Prince de Machiavel. Le Prince de Baltasar Gracían, c’est Ferdinand le Catholique, roi d’Aragon et maître en l’Art de la dissimulation. Ces œuvres sont un recueil de préceptes sur l’art de la dissimulation politique. C’est aussi une profonde réflexion sur l'art de se gouverner soi-même, et bien sûr sur la condition humaine et le comportement mondain.
