Survivre et vivre
Denise Epstein est née en 1929, année de parution de David Golder, le premier succès littéraire d'Irène Némirovsky. Fille surprotégée de la romancière qui la présentait aux journalistes pour éluder les questions ou les photographies, elle est pourtant, ainsi que sa soeur Elisabeth âgée de cinq ans, jetée de plein fouet dans la vie, en juillet 42, lorsque les gendarmes français viennent arrêter sa mère dans le village où la famille a trouvé refuge. Quelques mois plus tard, son père, Michel Epstein, est aussi déporté puis assassiné par les nazis. Suivent des années de cache, de faux noms et de pensionnats : "la traque". Avec une grande pudeur et un art de la dénégatio...
Another Modernity
Another Modernity is a rich study of the life and thought of Elia Benamozegh, a nineteenth-century rabbi and philosopher whose work profoundly influenced Christian-Jewish dialogue in twentieth-century Europe. Benamozegh, a Livornese rabbi of Moroccan descent, was a prolific writer and transnational thinker who corresponded widely with religious and intellectual figures in France, the Maghreb, and the Middle East. This idiosyncratic figure, who argued for the universalism of Judaism and for interreligious engagement, came to influence a spectrum of religious thinkers so varied that it includes proponents of the ecumenical Second Vatican Council, American evangelists, and right-wing Zionists i...
Le Sentiment des crépuscules - Rentrée littéraire 2024
- Rentrée littéraire 2024 - Londres, 1938. Zweig présente Dalí à Freud. Londres, 19 juillet 1938. Stefan Zweig et Salvador Dalí rendent visite à Sigmund Freud, tout juste exfiltré de l'Autriche nazie. Proche de l'analyste, et lui aussi réfugié, Zweig a organisé ce rendez-vous sur l'insistance de son ami peintre, qui idolâtre Freud et trépigne de lui montrer une de ses toiles. Accompagnés de Gala, l'épouse de Dalí, et de son agent, ils sont accueillis par Anna Freud. Leurs échanges sont ponctués par les extravagances et facéties de Salvador qui mystifient l'assemblée. Puis, à mesure, tous se dévoilent : la rencontre autour de Freud agit comme un révélateur, confrontant chacun à ses démons et à ceux de l'époque. Mêlant biographie intime de figures d'exception et chronique de la fin d'un monde, Clémence Boulouque saisit ce moment suspendu, unique et méconnu, en un roman drôle et grave.
Moses
An unprecedented portrait of Moses's inner world and perplexing character, by a distinguished biblical scholar No figure looms larger in Jewish culture than Moses, and few have stories more enigmatic. Avivah Gottlieb Zornberg, acclaimed for her many books on Jewish thought, turns her attention to Moses in this remarkably rich, evocative book. Drawing on a broad range of sources—literary as well as psychoanalytic, a wealth of classical Jewish texts alongside George Eliot, W. G. Sebald, and Werner Herzog—Zornberg offers a vivid and original portrait of the biblical Moses. Moses's vexing personality, his uncertain origins, and his turbulent relations with his own people are acutely explored by Zornberg, who sees this story, told and retold, as crucial not only to the biblical past but also to the future of Jewish history.
Israel and Humanity
This book forms a grand synthesis of Benamozegh's religious thought. It is at once a wide-ranging summa of scriptural, Talmudic, Midrashic, and kabbalistic ideas, and an intensely personal account of Jewish identity.
Forgiving Philosophy
This book explores forgiveness as a philosophical matter. Responding to the curious omission of forgiveness in much of Western philosophy, it examines common themes and divergences on forgiveness in the works of Augustine, Kierkegaard, and Arendt. These writers understood forgiveness as a paradox—it must be contained to be given (Augustine), granted-yet-not-granted (Kierkegaard), and forgotten the moment it is given, as if never given at all (Arendt). Drawing on these insights, can forgiveness be then thought of as a hidden existential capacity and not as a magnanimous display of mercy? Can we imagine forgiveness as undoing the transgression we see, and secretly engaging with the imperceptible impossibility of undoing what has indeed been done?
Écrivains franco-russes
Plusieurs auteurs franco-russes sont déjà considérés par des chercheurs universitaires (Makine, Sarraute, Gary, Nabokov, Troyat). D'autres le sont moins ou pas encore (Gran, Bashkirtseff, Serge, Volkonskaïa). Écrivains franco-russes réunit ces écrivains dans leur spécificité commune et permet ainsi, d'une part, un début de répertoire actualisé et, de l'autre, l'initiation de la recherche sur le sujet en ce sens. Intéressant pour les universitaires et les amateurs avertis, cet ouvrage présente une vingtaine d'auteurs d'origine russe qui ont choisi d'écrire en français.
Hunting the Truth
2018 NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD BOOK OF THE YEAR In this dual autobiography, the Klarsfelds tell the dramatic story of fifty years devoted to bringing Nazis to justice For more than a century, Beate and Serge Klarsfeld have hunted, confronted, and exposed Nazi war criminals, tracking them down in places as far-flung as South America and the Middle East. It is they who uncovered the notorious torturer Klaus Barbie, known as “the Butcher of Lyon,” in Bolivia. It is they who outed Kurt Lischka as chief of the Gestapo in Paris, the man responsible for the largest deportation of French Jews. And it is they who, with the help of their son, Arno, brought the Vichy police chief Maurice Papon to ...
Advanced Color Image Processing and Analysis
This volume does much more than survey modern advanced color processing. Starting with a historical perspective on ways we have classified color, it sets out the latest numerical techniques for analyzing and processing colors, the leading edge in our search to accurately record and print what we see. The human eye perceives only a fraction of available light wavelengths, yet we live in a multicolor world of myriad shining hues. Colors rich in metaphorical associations make us “purple with rage” or “green with envy” and cause us to “see red.” Defining colors has been the work of centuries, culminating in today’s complex mathematical coding that nonetheless remains a work in progress: only recently have we possessed the computing capacity to process the algebraic matrices that reproduce color more accurately. With chapters on dihedral color and image spectrometers, this book provides technicians and researchers with the knowledge they need to grasp the intricacies of today’s color imaging.
The Life of the Soul
The Life of the Soul surveys the wide-ranging theories Jewish mystics have offered to the vexing question – what precisely transpires after we die? A common element in their theories is that human life is a part of a larger ecosystem of being which also includes plants, animals, and inanimate things, like rocks. They further maintained that the soul does not perish with the demise of the body, but is rather renewed and recycled into new forms of embodied existence in the lower world. Each essay highlights how reincarnation, also known as metempsychosis or the transmigration of souls, is not a marginalized concept but is instead central to understanding a variety of perplexing issues in Jud...
