Title : A Country Outing - Guy de Maupassant - book Summary : Maupassant's works have tempted many filmmakers. They have found in them the opportunity to illustrate slices of life or to tell picturesque or pathetic stories, capable, by their human value, of interesting a wide audience. A Country Party is a particularly interesting work in this regard: this short story, of classical sobriety, is among the writer's best. And it so happens that it was adapted by one of our greatest filmmakers, Jean Renoir. This happy encounter gave birth to a remarkable film. This edition offers a parallel between the two works that allows for a better understanding of the specificity of these major arts: literature and cinema. In addition, it enlightens the reader on the complex problems of adapting written works to film. EAN: 9782253138051 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : The Banquet - Phaedrus - book Summary : In The Banquet, the poet Agathon gives a feast to celebrate his victory in a poetry competition. This is an opportunity for each guest to praise Eros by presenting their vision of love. Following them, Socrates, who claims to be reporting the words of the foreigner Diotima, links love to the desire for immortality that animates all living beings. The praise of love then detaches itself from the sensible world to tend towards a new dimension, that of the Intelligible. It is also Eros that is discussed in the Phaedrus, where Plato distinguishes two kinds of love: vulgar love—selfish, jealous, tyrannical—and honest love, which corresponds to celestial Love. Human souls, which have only glimpsed the world of Ideas before incarnating in a body, retain a fleeting memory of Beauty. It is this search for glimpsed Beauty that would provoke the quest for love.

Title : The Game of Love and Chance - Marivaux - book Summary : Marivaux's charm lies in a unique combination of cruelty and grace, sadness and gaiety. But marivaudage, which evokes banter, a love duel for laughs, a sentimental ballet, does not exist in any of his plays. Nothing is more precise, realistic, than his view of the intermittencies of the human heart and of love, of which he knows all the paths, all the mistakes, all the ruses. In truth, chance plays little role in this comedy where Silvia, to test the sincerity of her fiancé Dorante, pretends to be his servant Lisette, while Dorante does the same with his valet Harlequin. And here is love put to the test by mistrust, social prejudice, timidity, hesitation, smiles and tears. EAN: 9782266163774 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : Dancing - Hugo Marchand - book Summary : Hugo Marchand woke up one morning with a dream. He was nine years old. This virtuoso, one of the new generation of stars at the Paris Opera, clung to this dream of dance. Four years after entering the Nantes Conservatory, having won a gold medal at thirteen, he was admitted to the Paris Opera Ballet School. Despite his atypical profile, Hugo Marchand joined the Paris Opera's corps de ballet at seventeen. He climbed the ranks, competing against others, as well as himself, in international competitions, and reached the ultimate rank of principal dancer in March 2017. By sharing his apprenticeship, Hugo Marchand takes a look at dance as a school of acceptance. That of the immensity of the work required to make a dream come true.

From solitude to overexposure, from the possibility of friendship despite competition. The perpetual confrontation with the mirror, a reflection of imperfections to be overcome.
