Pulp Surrealism
In addition to its more well known literary and artistic origins, the French surrealist movement drew inspiration from currents of psychological anxiety and rebellion running through a shadowy side of mass culture, specifically in fantastic popular fiction and sensationalistic journalism. The provocative nature of this insolent mass culture resonated with the intellectual and political preoccupations of the surrealists, as Robin Walz demonstrates in this fascinating study. Pulp Surrealism weaves an interpretative history of the intersection between mass print culture and surrealism, re-evaluating both our understanding of mass culture in early twentieth-century Paris and the revolutionary ai...
Philip, Prince of Greece
Many books have been written about the life of Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, yet there always seem to be corners of his long life that have remained unexplored. In this long look back into his early years, Constantinos Lagos and John Carr uncover hitherto unknown aspects of Philip's life as a Greek prince and his gradual transformation from a mere appendage of the troubled Greek royal family to an enduring pillar of the British monarchy.

Contributions à une histoire du catholicisme
L’histoire religieuse est un champ de recherches dynamique. Sur la très longue durée, du Moyen Âge à l’époque très contemporaine, cet ouvrage se propose d’en explorer les plus récents questionnements et objets. Adoptant de multiples échelles – locale, régionale, nationale ou internationale –, les contributions ici réunies reflètent les curiosités et le cheminement intellectuels de Marc Agostino, professeur émérite à l’université de Bordeaux 3. Après une thèse de troisième cycle sur le cardinal Lecot (1831-1908), figure symbolique de l’épiscopat de la Troisième République (1974), Marc Agostino consacra sa thèse d’État à Pie XI et l’opinion publique (...
Deposition, 1940-1944
This diary is one of the most precious--and readable--pieces of testimony about life in Vichy France under Nazi occupation. Léon Werth was a Jewish writer who left Paris in June 1940 and hid out in a small village. We see how the Occupation affected life in the countryside and, after his return to Paris, the insurrection of August 1944.
