Né avec le siècle, René Pellos a été le témoin privilégié de notre temps. Caricaturiste, illustrateur, dessinateur de B.D., affichiste, peintre, journaliste, père adoptif des célèbres Pieds Nickelés, Pellos livre ici «l'envers du décor». De «Junior» à «Miroir-sprint», de «Match» à «L'équipe», le roi des dessinateurs sportifs a croqué les grands de ce monde et donné vie à de merveilleux personnages de fiction qui bercèrent l'enfance de plus d'un d'entre nous. Aussi à l'aise dans le dessin réaliste qu'humoristique, Pellos est un des plus grands (sinon le plus grand) dessinateurs de notre siècle, main d'or et pieds nickelés pour cet athlète du crayon.

Les questions cliniques quotidiennes sont bien entendu abordées, sans que soient négligés les concepts théoriques, allant de la prévention des hémorragies digestives en réanimation ou de la prise en charge...

"It has come to be widely accepted that "sexuality" as we know it took shape at the end of the nineteenth century, This is when Krafft-Ebing asserted that "sexual feeling is really the root of all ethics, and no doubt of aestheticism and religion," and Havelock Ellis declared sexuality to be the "central problem of life." Yet however self-evident Ellis's claim about sexuality might seem the act of placing something at the center is the consequence of insistent cultural work that engages with competing views about bodies and indeed about the "life" of society. This volume examines how this work was carried out and what resulted from such efforts."--BOOK JACKET.
