Lucie, l'amour d'une vie
En 2020, en pleine épidémie de Covid, une relation d’amitié va se créer entre Lucie, résidente en EHPAD et un infirmier, au cours de ses missions. Au départ, quelques mots échangés, puis Lucie, 103 ans, va retracer son histoire avec les nombreux évènements qui ont traversé sa vie : sa naissance en pleine guerre de 14-18, alors que son père est sur le front, sa grande histoire d’amour avec Jean, débutée juste avant la Seconde Guerre et qu’elle gardera dans son cœur pour toujours... Le fil conducteur est ici la saga d’une famille de paysans. Lucie nous fera aussi découvrir avec son cœur, ses émotions, la vie en EHPAD : Ces établissements qui sont bien plus que « des...
Échange
Entre Proust et Robbe-Grillet. Une écriture expérimentale, de ton soutenu, légèrement snobe: avec des reflets "rétro" (le cosmopolitisme, le tennis, les bains turcs, etc.). Un texte se prêtant malgré tout assez bien à la simple lecture. Scènes érotiques. [SDM].
Lucidity
This collection of essays addresses the question of lucidity as a thematic in literature and film but also as a quality of both expression and insight in literary criticism and critical thought more generally. The essays offer treatments of lucidity in itself and in relation to its opposites, forms of obscurity and darkness. They offer attention to problems of philosophical thought and reason, to questions of literary and poetic form, and of photographic and filmic contemplation. Ranging from engagements with early modern writing through to more recent material the contributions focus in particular on nineteenth- and twentieth-century French prose and poetry, the field which has been the predominant focus of Alison Finch’s critical writing. They are written as tributes to the distinctively lucid insights of her work and to the breadth and clarity of its intellectual engagement.
Journal de travers
Tenu du premier jour du printemps 1976 au dernier jour de l'hiver 1977, ce journal est le réservoir de situations, de personnages, de phrases et de signifiants utilisés pour Travers, dont la publication a commencé en 1978. La vie de l'auteur y est consigné. Un tableau des moeurs homosexuelles des années d'avant le sida, à Paris et à New York.
A History of the French in London
This book examines, for the first time, the history of the social, cultural, political and economic presence of the French in London, and explores the multiple ways in which this presence has contributed to the life of the city. The capital has often provided a place of refuge, from the Huguenots in the 17th century, through the period of the French Revolution, to various exile communities during the 19th century, and on to the Free French in the Second World War.It also considers the generation of French citizens who settled in post-war London, and goes on to provide insights into the contemporary French presence by assessing the motives and lives of French people seeking new opportunities in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. It analyses the impact that the French have had historically, and continue to have, on London life in the arts, gastronomy, business, industry and education, manifest in diverse places and institutions from the religious to the political via the educational, to the commercial and creative industries.
