Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Face au mystère de la vie et de la mort, face à l'angoisse existentielle, l'homme choisit généralement son camp: ou bien il écarte toute notion de Dieu, voyant en la vie une mécanique régie par les lois naturelles communes à toutes les espèces vivantes, ou bien il se tourne vers la foi et une tradition religieuse. Il arrive que ces deux attitudes alternent au gré des aléas de la vie.Dans A propos de Dieu, Krishnamurti analyse très finement les racines de la croyance, expose les déviances des traditions religieuses, démontre la vanité de toute quête d'une connaissance de 'l'inconnaissable'. Sans se résigner pour autant ni au matérialisme desséchant ni au désespoir, il ouvre une troisième voie, originale, rigoureuse sans être austère: il existe, dit-il, un autre type d''esprit religieux', qui n'est asservi à aucune tradition, à aucun gourou; il faut cesser de passer par l'intellect ou la foi aveugle pour être enfin 'radicalement libre' de faire l'expérience de la réalité, de la vérité, de la félicité suprêmes. L'esprit religieux tel que le conçoit Krishnamurti est la perception directe du sacré sans adhésion à aucun dogme religieux.J. Krishnamurti (mai 1895-février 1986), maître spirituel de grande renommée, a dispensé son enseignement au cours de multiples conférences et à travers de nombreux ouvrages, parmi lesquels on peut citer Se libérer du connu, Première et Dernière liberté, ou L'Eveil de l'Intelligence.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Under option in: Italy.In Etry Prison, on Spring day, the young inmates of Unit 221 openly rebel.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Under option in: SwedenWILD'Theres' always the same light, when I look out of my window, way beyond the car park, way beyond the Grango family's house, way beyond the cables from the pylons. There's always the same light over Baïnem Forest which looks as if it's catching fire because the sun's going down and I wonder where it's going to fall. I don't know anything about how planets work and I don't want to know because I'm also included in that whole cycle, even when I'm lying in bed, even when I'm writing in my school book. Everything gets used up, nothing lasts, since the world's very first day. Away in the background, I can hear my mother in the kitchen, my father on the balcony, my sister in her bedroom constantly singing Sheila's latest song, Spacer, into her Grundig microphone. Each of them is where they should be, or they think they're where they should be, but that's an illusion, we're all carried along by the stars and their orbits, and when I think about it, it makes me see white stars in the air swirling like the millions of molecules that make up space, the ones we're all part of. Everything comes undone, everything gets separated and I don't know if we ever find the things we've lost.'It's difficult for me to know who I am but it's easy to understand why I write. It happened in 1979. On those Algerian nights when my dreams were no longer the dreams of a child. It happened while I was waiting for a love who would never come back. It happened as I hoped I would become someone who would find their place in the world. It happened every evening, when I watched the sun drop behind the Mitidja plains. I told myself every time that it was taking a part of me with it.Wild is an account of that year.Nina BouraouiNina Bouraoui was born in Rennes in 1967. She is the author of La Voyeuse interdite, which was awarded the 1991 Prix du Livre Inter, Le jour du séisme, Garçon manqué, La vie heureuse, Mes mauvaise pensées (Prix Renaudot, 2005), Poupée Bella, Avant les hommes, Appelez-moi par mon prénom and Nos baisers sont des adieux, all published by Stock.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - ' Soudain, Paul voit dans la glace deux yeux posés sur lui, il baisse aussitôt les siens comme il le ferait si un inconnu le regardait avec insistance. 'Ça doit être moi.' Le visage qu'il a entrevu lui a paru assez sympathique, un visage carré encadré d'une abondante chevelure bouclée, grisonnante. Il lève les yeux, l'autre le regarde encore. 'C'est moi, il n'y a pas de doute.' Il est content de se découvrir sous ces traits. 'Je dois plaire aux femmes', pense-t-il. Il prend sa tasse, la porte à ses lèvres, mais l'autre n'a pas bougé, il a un verre de bière vide devant lui, il le voit poser quelques pièces de monnaie sur le zinc, puis s'en aller, il marche d'un pas nonchalant vers la sortie, il a envie de courir derrière lui, de lui crier quelque chose, il se sent impuissant, comme une ombre solitaire, détachée de tout, qui n'est plus l'ombre de rien.'

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Not to WorryRights sold to Germany (Fischer)TV rights under optionInstead of doing up the house he has just bought, the narrator of Not to Worry is forced to take a long time off work to stay with his sick son, and enters into a peculiar intimacy with him, made up of quite new acts and gestures, reinvented on a daily basis.A house-husband in spite of himself, he loses touch with the printing press where he works and with his indispensible friend Manu, and slips into an invisible, domesticated life while his wife, who has recently been taken on by a small business, can't afford any time off and has no choice but to devote herself to her job.This ordinary family gradually loses its social connections and points of reference, caught up in the logic of illness that suddenly gives their lives a different meaning, shatters each of their roles - not only the parents' but also Lisa's, the older sister - and sees other people's lives going on outside, suddenly unreal and inaccessible.The day that his colleagues at the printing press each give the father some of their own holiday time so that he can continue devoting his days to Mehdi, this radical and unexpected surge of solidarity turns codes and customs upside down, and the question of the balance between the social sphere and the sphere of the family raises its head again, all the more emphatically.In the end everything pivots on this allocation of time that was un-hoped for but which acts like a trap because such a gift like is so very complicated to give and to accept. In a world where solidarity is far from the norm, the generosity of these colleagues is reassuring and unsettling in equal measure, especially as they offer time not money.The narrative tries to probe into what a life dedicated to another, to others, would be like, while also exploring the question of a gift, a debt, of submission and domination, and asking: what does it mean to be a father today, and what does it mean to be in a couple as parents Brigitte Giraud was born in Algeria in 1960.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - THE VOICE OF LOVED ONESIn early summer, Céleste meets up with Paul whom she has not seen for fifteen years.He was her philosophy teacher, she was his young mistress for three years.Paul is very ill. Knowing he will not survive, he asks Céleste to come and spend a few days with him in the country. He also asks her to tell him a love story. Céleste describes an affair she had in Vietnam, some years earlier, with a fisherman named Hoang. As Céleste gradually reveals this romance, Paul actually relives their passionate love affair. In the idle silence of summer days, the two characters are locked together with the ghosts of their past love. The relationship between Céleste and Hoang interweaves with Paul and Céleste's, drawing comparisons and confusing similarities in a play of mirrors in which each tries to find his or her lost connections.Amid the tension maintained by the pressures of Paul's illness, and aware both how little time they have and how increasingly intimate they have become, the two characters are caught up in the same intense emotions that first brought them together. Seduction, the language of love, dependence, break-ups, physical passion, danger and excess, age differences, cultural divides. these are the themes around which Céleste and Paul revolve, he as a Spinoza-following philosopher, she as a woman exalted by love.Isabelle Jarry has written numerous books: novels, factual accounts and biographies. After L'Archange perdu, J'ai nom sans bruit and La Traversée du désert, this is her ninth novel.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - What Is My Name What is my name asks the author and narrator, Melvil Poupaud.We need only consider the filmography of this man who took his first steps in cinema at the age of 11 in La Ville des pirates (Raúl Ruiz) to know his name. Doillon, Ozon, Desplechin and more recently James Ivory and Zoe R. Cassavetes - the list is long. And yet this is not a book about film, nor an autobiography. What is my Name is an object in itself. Like a box in which someone might indiscriminately stow the various clues to a very private trajectory. Teenager diaries, post cards, collages, photographs, talismans. In this novelistic scrapbook Melvil Poupaud has released his 'personal effects' and assembled them, in a desperate attempt to give them a meaning. But where to find the cement that will turn these diverse memories - from childhood to manhood - into a coherent and appreciable transition through the decades, bringing together the young boy immersed in images and films, the teenager besotted with poetry, words and music, and the adult, the product of the first two, a father in search of the father and a lost soul on the banks of the Jordan who, once he is past thirty, longs for the sacrament of baptism Because What is My Name is an account of apprenticeships. Of love and knowledge. Of an actor who, to this day, embodies characters but cannot define his own role and his true place. The cement for these assembled traces of a life are to be found in the sheer richness of the literary process. In order to describe those, both living and dead, who brought him up and to define an actor's work, Melvil Poupaud uses the novel, the fable and even an element of fantasy. During the course of this epic, we meet Chantal (his mother), Yarol (his brother), Chiara (his first love), uncle Jack and even Lacan, Rohmer and the drummer from Trust, not to mention the incomparable Serge Daney - all of them protagonists and 'stimulants' in an illuminated fable. This is how What is my Name unfolds, elegantly and full of fascination, like a quest for the Holy Grail in the guise of a quest for identity.Born in 1973, Melvil Poupaud is an actor, director and musician. What is my Name is his first book.…

Neuware - Rights sold to: Algeria (Sedia), Korea (Woongjin Think Big), Croatia (Algoritam), Estonia (Pegasus), Norway (Solum), Romania (Nemira), Sweden (Elisabeth Grate), Vietnam (Phu Nu) I went to Doctor C. once a week for three years. In the course of each session, I felt I was giving him a book: it was always about bonds, separations, meetings, and each time I constructed and deconstructed love's works. My Bad Thoughts is the tale of this confession; a description of the work we need to put in learning to live and to love. This is not about therapy, or about myth making; it is a novel because it is a story told by someone; the story of my family, the story of the best friend, the singer, Hervé Guibert, my two countries. I never left Algeria, I was taken away from it and never said my farewells. I learnt to become in France: I think I was born twice. My Bad Thoughts is also the tale of a return to the country where I left something that grew in my absence and never ceased to terrify me. Nina BouraouiNina Bouraoui was born in Rennes in 1967.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Precautionary PrincipleRights available.Pascal is a married man, the father of two children. He works as an asset manager for a financial company that is about to merge with an Italian conglomerate. Staff reductions are announced, giving rise to a savage competition amongst colleagues. One of them, Lionel Ruszczyk, chooses Pascal as a scapegoat. He confounds and humiliates this peaceful family man with relentless tales of his perverse sexual life. Pascal hardly needs new reasons to stress, for if relationship with his 11-year old daughter Manon is wonderful, communication proves much more difficult with his 16-year old son Julien, who is going through a wild phase.At the same time, Pascal is sensitive to the precautionary discourses that fill the media: from anti-terrorist policies to anti-smoking campaigns to new measures to fight juvenile delinquency and the impact of the excess of sugar in one's diet, he espouses all the schemes aiming to eradicate risk. The 'zero-risk' approach has slowly become an obsession.While demonstrating in Paris, Julien gets beaten up. As a result, his behaviour becomes increasingly disturbed and his father worries. There are tales of adolescent boys massacring their families almost every week: is it possible that Pascal's own unmanageable son could become a threat to his family Should Pascal not, in this case, apply the precautionary principle Precautionary principle is a brilliant work, the book of a young author who is reflecting on his own time. Uncompromising, yet often very funny, this novel confirms Jung's ability to emulate the best of contemporary Anglo-Saxon literature.Matthieu Jung was born in Nancy and lives in Paris. He has published chronicles and short stories in many magazines and on Internet. Le vague à l'âme, his first novel, was published in 2007 with Scali.…
