Title : The Condottiere's Journey - Towards Venice, Fiorenza, Beloved Siena - André Suarès - book Summary : Although he summons the tutelary shadow of Stendhal, the Condottiere has shed all authority. His journey is unique in that it treats cities as characters: Rimini is "gloomy like a successful assassination attempt," Genoa is banal "like the thoughts of an American shopkeeper." Each city not only has its painting, its musical piece, its church, its great man, it also has its own face, its warts, its wrinkles, its bad breath, its smile (the ardent Siena is a "kiss in a mystical smile"). Each corner visited gives birth to a prose poem, where sometimes the vision of a couple united in beatitude emerges. Clare, the patrician of Assisi, seeing Saint Francis booed, reviled, wants no other fiancé than this "mad Little Poor." Catherine of Siena consoles a man condemned to death, promises him eternal marriage, leads him to the scaffold and receives his head in her hands.

Title : The Endless Journey to the White Sea - Malcolm Lowry - book Summary : Every time he was tempted to succumb to despair, he said to himself: "Oh world, you haven't brought me to my knees yet!" A student at Cambridge, secretly a writer and a sailor at heart, Sigbjørn thinks only of returning to sea. His brother committed suicide and his father, a Norwegian shipowner, saw two of his ships sink. To avoid his life also being shattered on the reefs, Sigbjørn considers another crossing on the waves of the White Sea, to Oslo where his role model, the novelist Erikson, lives. Who knows, perhaps this journey of no return will reconcile him with his destiny. English novelist (1909-1957), Malcolm Lowry is the author of the masterpiece Under the Volcano, partly autobiographical, and novels and poems. “Everything is burning hot in this exciting new release.” The Point “A powerful work in which the British writer was already battling with his demons: guilt, the call of travel and writing.” Les Inrocks EAN : 9782757864524 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : The 20th Century from 1914 to the Present Day - René Rémond - book Summary Understanding one's time is impossible for someone who knows nothing about the past; being a contemporary also means being aware of legacies, whether accepted or contested. Studying yesterday in relation to today - and even tomorrow - is precisely the purpose of this book, which is directly related to a course taught at the Institute of Political Studies (preparatory year). What is the importance of the war of 1914? What is fascism? What are the characteristic elements of the communist world? What are the origins of the Cold War? What happened to Europe in the 20th century? To these questions and a hundred others, this third volume provides clear and rigorous answers. Without any scholarly preoccupation, this work will allow everyone to revise notions that have remained imprecise and to acquire the historical bases essential to the understanding of our time.
