Balthazar
Second volet du Quatuor d'Alexandrie, l'œuvre maîtresse de Lawrence Durrell, publiée entre 1957 et 1960, Balthazar est peut-être moins la suite de Justine que sa reprise, son amplification, selon un nouvel éclairage. Le narrateur et acteur du précédent livre reçoit la visite de Balthazar, le docteur juif, qui lui rapporte le manuscrit de Justine complété d'annotations, d'informations et de vérités contradictoires, qu'il ignorait jusqu'à présent. En un sens, le personnage de Balthazar devient le coauteur de ce second récit qui porte d'ailleurs son nom. Les mêmes protagonistes suscitent de nouvelles interprétations. La situation politique de l'Egypte entre les deux guerres, la...
Historical Dictionary of Opera
Opera has been around ever since the late 16th century, and it is still going strong in the sense that operas are performed around the world at present, and known by infinitely more persons than just those who attend performances. On the other hand, it has enjoyed periods in the past when more operas were produced to greater acclaim. Those periods inevitably have pride of place in this Historical Dictionary of Opera, as do exceptional singers, and others who combine to fashion the opera, whether or not they appear on stage. But this volume looks even further afield, considering the cities which were and still are opera centers, literary works which were turned into librettos, and types of pi...

A Portrait of the Hindus
The Flemish artist Francois Balthazar Solvyns, who lived in Calcutta from 1791 to 1803, is little known, but his collection of etchings of the Hindus provide a rich and compelling portrait of India two hundred years ago. These remarkable prints, depicting the people of Bengal in their occupations, festivals, and daily life, and the accompanying descriptive text, are only available in rare book collections and have rarely been referred to by scholars of Indian culture and history. In Part I of this lavishly illustrated volume, Robert Hardgrave introduces Solvyn's life and work. Part II reproduces Solvyn's etchings and descriptions, with Hardgrave's detailed commentary. This book will make these invaluable images and writings generally available for the first time. It will be an important resource for those in South Asian studies and well as those interested in European artists in India and the European representation of the "other."
Love Alone Is Credible
In this volume David L. Schindler presents readers with a collection of essays garnered from the 2005 conference marking the centenary of Hans Urs von Balthasar s birth. That conference hosted an international gathering of scholars, among them students, colleagues, friends, and critics of Balthasar, all making an effort to engage the fundamental questions of faith and reason in light of his influential contribution to Catholic theology. A wide range of topics is explored in light of the Christian mystery, including metaphysics and causality, the nature of rationality, the relationship between God and the world, and the meaning of the body. Featuring an impressive list of contributors, Love Alone Is Credible is a tribute to the profound relevance of Balthasar s thought.
Gaspard, Melchior & Balthazar
L'épisode des Rois Mages venus d'Arabie Heureuse pour adorer l'Enfant Jésus, s'il ne fait l'objet que de quelques lignes d'un seul des quatre Évangiles, a magnifiquement inspiré la peinture occidentale. Mais qui étaient ces rois ? Pourquoi avaient-ils quitté leur royaume ? Qu'ont-ils trouvé à Jérusalem - chez Hérode le Grand - puis à Bethléem ? L'Histoire et la légende étant également muettes, il incombait à un romancier de répondre à ces questions. C'est ce qu'a tenté Michel Tournier avec ce récit naïf et violent qui plonge aux sources de la spiritualité occidentale.
