Title : History of Art - Renaissance Art - Élie Faure - book Summary : The History of Art is a vast fresco that stretches from prehistory to the early years of the 20th century. Begun in 1909, completed in 1927, and revised several times, the total novelty of Élie Faure's undertaking was to introduce a new genre that has become popular and indispensable today: the art book in which each commentary can be compared to the works themselves, the juxtaposition and confrontation of images justifying the audacity of the comparisons that sometimes seem unusual. A completely new undertaking at the time, it has, apart from Malraux, been neither equaled nor surpassed today. This fiftieth anniversary edition includes new elements: - a presentation of the man and his work, at the head of Ancient Art; - a file made up of letters, articles, variants, and various texts, at the end of each volume. These elements, compiled by Martine Chatelain-Courtois, editor of the Cahiers Élie Faure and a leading expert on his work, are of immense interest. They allow for an entirely new reading, help us grasp the author's evolution, and bring him back to life over the years and through the itineraries of his travels.

Title : Religious Recipes. Earthly and Spiritual Nourishments - Dominique Prédali - book Summary : An original compilation of gastronomic recipes whose richness and variety were passed down to us by the monks of convents and monasteries. In the Middle Ages, food was linked to specific values ​​with the alternation of periods of fasting and celebrations, marked by jubilation and abundance. And if the holiday cuisine is rich and varied, it is above all in the cooking of lean meats that the monks excelled. They then deployed treasures of cunning and imagination to compensate for the limited number of available products with great skill in cooking. This work addresses not only the symbolism of many holidays such as Christmas, Epiphany, Candlemas, Carnival, Lent, Easter, but also that of popular beliefs such as Eating to ward off evil, The fires of hell, Sins and virtues, etc. For each section, the author explains the origin of the customs that gave rise to the recipes. She also evokes the symbolism of foods as well as the importance of grain and bread. EAN: 9782909206370 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : The House of Return - Jean-Paul Kauffmann - book Summary : Upon returning from three years of captivity in Lebanon, in a trance-like state, the narrator discovers Les Tilleuls, a house lost in the heart of the Landes forest. He decides to buy this property to dispel the memory of his imprisonment. A strange bond of dependence will be created with this residence, which symbolizes the return to the world of the living. In a total, almost pagan fusion with the nature of which he has been so deprived, the narrator camps out amidst the work. He delights in this transitional atmosphere specific to convalescence, this in-between that confusingly separates the end of the ordeal from the return to humankind. A series of unequally picturesque characters parades past: two taciturn and enigmatic workers, the indefinable real estate agent, an architect always in a hurry... Will this house be the place of resurrection? Twenty years later, Jean-Paul Kauffmann evokes his captivity. Allusively. With elegance, he has chosen to avoid being serious for the most part. Never complacent or victim-like, it is on the contrary a jubilant testimony to the joy of being alive, to the refusal of fatality which resists all trials.

Title : September 11, my love - Luc Lang - book Summary : On September 11, 2001, Luc Lang traveled to the depths of Montana, following in the footsteps of the Blackfeet Indians. It was there, on the reservation where friends had welcomed him, that he discovered on television the images of the Twin Towers being hit by planes. The horror of the attacks would initially leave far behind the traveler's dreams and questions, upsetting all his writing projects and even his outlook on the world. However, little by little, a narrative on two levels would take shape and impose itself. Current events, of course, with the pathetic voices of the victims found on cell phone messages, the absurdity of the images that scrolled in a loop, the President's devastated face learning what had just happened... But also America. The America of before, that of the Indian genocide, of Hiroshima, of Vietnam. Today's America, its hamburgers, its SUVs, its dollars, its preachers, and its intellectuals. A terrified America... its response. A novelist and winner of the Goncourt des lycéens prize, Luc Lang takes on a major challenge here: to confront the event, without pretense, without hindsight. And to challenge, with it, literature itself. EAN: 9782253108658 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : Germinal - Émile Zola - book Summary : One of the great strikes of the 19th century recounted by a genius journalist who made it an indictment, a formidable "J'accuse" against capital, the novel of class struggle and working-class misery.
