George Kaplan
Quel est le lien entre un groupe activiste clandestin en pleine crise, une équipe de scénaristes en quête de nouveaux concepts pour un projet de série télé et un gouvernement invisible aux prises avec un danger menaçant la sécurité intérieure du pays? Un seul nom : George Kaplan. Frédéric Sonntag s'empare de la figure mythique du personnage de La Mort aux trousses de Hitchcock pour entrelacer fiction et réalité et inventer une identité collective avatar de nos peurs contemporaines. Par un théâtre très ludique et un humour rare et fin, matière à jeu pour cinq acteurs, l'auteur démonte les fonctionnements paranoïaques de nos sociétés ultramédiatisées.
B. Traven & George Kaplan
B. Traven. Bajo la apariencia de una novela de aventuras o de un policial de los años cincuenta, esta obra muestra a su autor divirtiéndose con una mezcla de épocas y estilos. B. Traven, como George Kaplan y otros “fantasmas” de Frédéric Sonntag, es ante todo un personaje elusivo: un escritor tan célebre como misterioso, que en vida orquestó su desaparición detrás de seudónimos e identidades falsas. ¿Pero dónde se encuentran lo verdadero, lo falso, el espectáculo, el simulacro? Los lectores se ven aquí arrastrados en una carrera desenfrenada detrás de los personajes que hicieron y deshicieron la historia política y artística del mundo, desde 1910 hasta el siglo xxi, de A...
Much Ado About Nonexistence
The problem of the nature of fiction and the problem of nonexistence are closely tied because fiction often talks about nonexistent entities. In Fiction, Reference, and Nonexistence, A. P. Martinich and Avrum Stroll, two of America's leading philosophers, explore fiction and undertake an analytic philosophical study of fiction and its reference and its relation to truth. Included in the discussion is the authors' new, contemporary theory of fiction developed as an extension of the speech act theory of H. P. Grice, as well as the relationship between nonexistence and Bertrand Russell's well-known theory of definite descriptions, and Hilary Putnam's theory of the relationship between common names and the world.
Relativistic Celestial Mechanics of the Solar System
This authoritative book presents the theoretical development of gravitational physics as it applies to the dynamics of celestial bodies and the analysis of precise astronomical observations. In so doing, it fills the need for a textbook that teaches modern dynamical astronomy with a strong emphasis on the relativistic aspects of the subject produced by the curved geometry of four-dimensional spacetime. The first three chapters review the fundamental principles of celestial mechanics and of special and general relativity. This background material forms the basis for understanding relativistic reference frames, the celestial mechanics of N-body systems, and high-precision astrometry, navigatio...
Rhapsody
“Mitchell James Kaplan [brings] his impressive knowledge of history, composition, and the heart’s whims to bear on this shining rendition of Swift and Gershwin’s star-crossed love.” —Therese Anne Fowler, New York Times bestselling author of Z and A Good Neighborhood “A lilting, jazzy ballad as catchy as a Gershwin tune…Rhapsody will have you humming, toe-tapping, and singing along with every turn of the page.” —Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Alice Network and The Huntress One evening in 1924, Katharine “Kay” Swift—the restless but loyal society wife of wealthy banker James Warburg and a serious pianist who longs for recognition—attends a concer...
