Medallion
Imagine waking up one day realizing you're immortal without knowing who you are or where you belong? At an early age Jacob Handel realizes that something about him is just a little bit different. As a child, raised in an orphanage, Jacob begins to feel the struggle burn inside. With the help of his mentor, a kindly man named Ian Meredith, Jacob’s direction remains positive, even under harsh conditions…That is until his tenth birthday when Ian disappears and Jacob feels that he has been betrayed by his only friend. As the years unfold, Jacob becomes a recluse, ignoring his singleness; he drowns his fears with the bottle. Then one day, a mysterious blackbird delivers a golden medallion and he has to face the greatest challenge of his existence. With a pre-determined destiny, Jacob holds the fate of a kingdom in the balance as he endures his awakening. As the sides line up, good vs. evil…one man must make a decision. Medallion is a fast paced fantasy set in San Antonio, Texas.

Saving San Antonio
Few American cities enjoy the likes of San Antonio's visual links with its dramatic past. The Alamo and four other Spanish missions, recently marked as a UNESCO World Heritage site, are the most obvious but there are a host of landmarks and folkways that have survived over the course of nearly three centuries that still lend San Antonio an "odd and antiquated foreignness." Adding to the charm of the nation's seventh largest city is the San Antonio River, saved to become a winding linear park through the heart of downtown and beyond and a world model for sensitive urban development. San Antonio's heritage has not been preserved by accident. The wrecking balls and headlong development that acc...
La syrinx au bûcher
"C'est du "Banquet" de Platon que vient le proverbe humaniste des silènes d'Alcibiade. F. Lavocat montre comment cette allégorie des silènes, de Pan et des satyres se transforme en fable et en fiction, dans la poésie, la satire, le théâtre, la danse, les traités de sorcellerie et les arts visuels. Une figure pour penser le rapport de la parole au mal, de l'amour à la loi, de l'homme à l'autre."--
