15 Days of Prayer with Saint Alphonsus Liguori is one of twenty titles in the series 15 Days of Prayer with.... This series provides an introduction to spiritual masters of both modern and historical times and gives the reader an opportunity to participate in a spiritual conference with a great teacher-if only through the pages of a book. Each volume contains a brief history of each spiritual guide, an itinerary for each of the fifteen days, an invitation for reflection in each chapter, and a bibliography at the end of the book.
In the past few years there have been impressive advances in the implementation of modern MRI techniques for the assessment of MS patients with the ultimate goal to define MRI markers of MS evolution. The authors of this volume not only review these new techniques, such as magnetization transfer (MT) MRI, diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI and proton MR spectroscopy (MRS), that are increasingly being used to monitor MS evolution, but also those, such as functional MRI (fMRI), cell-specific MRI, perfusion MRI, and microscopic imaging with ultra-high field MRI, that are emerging as additional promising tools for improving our understanding of MS pathophysiology. Strengths and weaknesses of all these modern quantitative MRI techniques for the study of MS are extensively covered in this book. The book also provides a valuable summary of the state of the art.
As a textual form, the essai predominates in modern and contemporary literature in French. Emerging from an earlier tradition and distinguished from its English-language counterpart, the French-language essay ranges from Stéphane Mallarmé to Colette, Victor Segalen to Aimé Césaire, Jean Grenier to Pierre Michon. The essai remains, however, one of the most hazily identified of textual forms, its definition often depending on the progressive elimination of all other generic possibilities. Excluded from the archigenres (theatre, poetry, récit), it can even be seen as a hold-all category whose role is to absorb the anarchic extremes of writing. It is perhaps this very lack of pretension to ...
The Modernist Traveler considers figures whose writing about travel rebelled against a literary tradition of exoticism, adventure stories, and novelistic travelogues. Instead these writers initiated a modernist strain in travel writing and a shift in the literary establishment and the culture at large. Kimberley J. Healey focuses on those French writers and thinkers who traveled in order to experience a displacement of both the inner self and the physical body while writing against the prevalent tradition of travel literature. ø The modern self, modern time, colonial spaces, and the physical body are Healey?s concerns as she reads works by Victor Segalen, Paul Morand, Blaise Cendrars, Henri Michaux, Saint-John Perse, Guillaume Apollinaire, Paul Nizan, Albert Londres, Andre Malraux, Valäry Larbaud, and Isabelle Eberhardt. This book shows how, in the field of French literature, these texts about travel best capture the modernist experience of being alone in a world of new technologies, cultural diversity, and anxiety about the self.
Jeanne d'Arc (1412-1431) était une bergère de Lorraine. Brusquement entrée dans la vie publique à l'âge de 17 ans et morte martyre deux ans plus tard, elle fait partie des figures féminines les plus connues et les plus représentées à travers le monde. Un parcours atypique, de la sorcière supposée à la véritable sainte. Les comptes-rendus de son procès puis de sa réhabilitation repris dans cet ouvrage se révèlent précieux pour approcher Jeanne et mieux comprendre sa relation à Dieu. On y découvre une femme étonnante d'aplomb et de vie dans l'Esprit, qui se retrouve sommée de s'expliquer sur ce lien qui l'unit à Dieu, sur le message délivré par ces « voix » qui la visiteront jusque dans sa prison. C'est tout un pan de notre Histoire qui est revisité ici, à partir de l'une des plus grandes erreurs judiciaires de tous les temps. À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Didier Dastarac a exercé dans les collectivités territoriales avant de devenir directeur adjoint des services du Havre en 2005, puis de la Haute-Loire (2007-2014). Son ascendance le rattache à plusieurs compagnons de Jeanne d'Arc.
Once considered the golden age of French printmaking, Louis XIV’s reign saw Paris become a powerhouse of print production. During this time, the king aimed to make fine and decorative arts into signs of French taste and skill and, by extension, into markers of his imperialist glory. Prints were ideal for achieving these goals; reproducible and transportable, they fueled the sophisticated propaganda machine circulating images of Louis as both a man of war and a man of culture. This richly illustrated catalogue features more than one hundred prints from the Getty Research Institute and the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris, whose print collection Louis XIV established in 1667. An es...
