Sacrifice
On s'attend à la nuit et on est dessaisi devant un corps féminin. La lumière est notre lot, une fois chassés du ventre maternel. La lumière est peut-être une nuit plus obscure que celle qui achève le jour. Nous sommes nus, et la distance qu'il y a d'un sexe à un autre est plus infranchissable que l'eau de tout miroir... Richard Millet
Province
« “Je suis revenu à Uxeilles pour baiser le plus de femmes possible.” Ces mots ont fait le tour de la ville, la haute et la médiane, et de certains endroits de la ville basse, puis on les a oubliés, fait mine de les oublier, car la province n’oublie jamais rien, pas plus qu’elle ne se résout à rien laisser perdre, même dans le triomphe du temps, chacun s’en remettant à cette forme de médiocre transcendance qui peut se résumer par cette formule quasi magique : “On ne sait jamais”, bien que la seule chose qui puisse servir, un jour, et la plus obscure, soit la haine, c’est-à-dire une puissante raison de vivre. » Richard Millet est écrivain. Il est né à Viam, dans le Limousin, en 1953. Province est son quatorzième roman. Depuis avril 2015, il est rédacteur en chef de La Revue littéraire. » Extrait de: Richard Millet. « Province. » iBooks.
A Different Jesus?
Drawing on both Christian and Latter-day Saint documents, Robert Millet clearly explains the many beliefs that Mormons hold in common with traditional Christians and also highlights differences where they exist.
Talking Doctrine
A group of Mormon and evangelical scholars undertook a remarkable journey over fifteen years to discuss differences and investigate possible common ground in their beliefs. With both candor and generosity, these essays reflect the thoughtful, respectful and nuanced engagements on some of the most controversial topics that have inflamed passions in the past.
Latin American Democracy
Nearly thirty years have passed since Latin America began the arduous task of transitioning from military-led rule to democracy. In this time, more countries have moved toward the institutional bases of democracy than at any time in the region’s history. Nearly all countries have held free, competitive elections and most have had peaceful alternations in power between opposing political forces. Despite these advances, however, Latin American countries continue to face serious domestic and international challenges to the consolidation of stable democratic governance. The challenges range from weak political institutions, corruption, legacies of militarism, transnational crime and globalization among others. In Latin American Democracy contributors – both academics and practitioners, North Americans and Latin Americans – explore and assess the state of democratic consolidation in Latin America by focusing on the specific issues and challenges confronting democratic governance in the region.
The Glory of the Pythres
This novel begins with a funeral for a young mother: A good-looking girl, anyway, who with that coif of hers got to look rather like a nun as the years passed, and whom few of us were content to see lying between oak planks in her least worn dress, the black one she got into on Sundays, even when she couldn't go to Mass at Saint-Sulpice, and that smelled clean, with no odor (no smoke, sweat, animals, cabbage or milk) other than the soap they said came from Marseilles and which in the spring left big bluish trails in the stream. They resembled the Milky Way, which she had showed her son in the summer sky when he was very small. Ambitious and grandiose, Richard Millet's stunning novel announce...
The Unraveling of Representative Democracy in Venezuela
For four decades, Venezuela prided itself for having one of the most stable representative democracies in Latin America. Then, in 1992, Hugo Chávez Frías attempted an unsuccessful military coup. Six years later, he was elected president. Once in power, Chávez redrafted the 1961 constitution, dissolved the Congress, dismissed judges, and marginalized rival political parties. In a bid to create direct democracy, other Latin American democracies watched with mixed reactions: if representative democracy could break down so quickly in Venezuela, it could easily happen in countries with less-established traditions. On the other hand, would Chávez create a new form of democracy to redress the p...
