Moi qui suis née à Varsovie

Autor: Anna Prucnal , Jean Mailland

Número de Páginas: 169

Depuis dix ans, Anna Prucnal, sollicitée pour écrire ses mémoires, s'y refusait. Grâce à l'aide de son mari, l'écrivain et metteur en scène Jean Mailland, elle a accepté de pencher sur un passé douloureux souvent, exaltant parfois, qu'elle restitue avec l'authenticité de ses mots. Un récit impressionniste qui est à son image : sur le fil de l'émotion, bâti par plans-séquences. C'est un père, gravement blessé par les Allemands à Varsovie au début de la guerre, qui vient mourir chez lui, dans les bras de sa femme et de ses deux petites filles. Ce sont les années d'orphelinat, le joug russe qui oblige les enfants à apprendre la langue honnie. Les années où, starlette, elle fait la couverture des magazines polonais ou est-allemands. La fuite à l'Ouest, l'immersion dans une autre culture, française, ses rencontres (Montand, Mitterrand...), la découverte d'un talent qu'elle ignorait : sa capacité à enthousiasmer les salles par la vibration de sa voix...

Dissident Legacies of Samizdat Social Media Activism

Autor: Piotr Wciślik

Número de Páginas: 258

This book tells the story of the dissident imaginary of samizdat activists, the political culture they created, and the pivotal role that culture had in sustaining the resilience of the oppositional movement in Poland between 1976 and 1990. This unlicensed print culture has been seen as one of the most emblematic social worlds of dissent. Since the Cold War, the audacity of harnessing obsolete print technology known as samizdat to break the modern monopoly of information of the party-state has fascinated many, yet this book looks beyond the Cold War frame to reappraise its historical novelty and significance. What made that culture resilient and rewarding, this book argues, was the correspondence between certain set of ideas and media practices: namely, the form of samizdat social media, which both embodied and projected the prefigurative philosophy of political action, asserting that small forms of collective agency can have a transformative effect on public life here and now, and are uniquely capable of achieving a democratic new beginning. This prefigurative vision of the transition from communism had a fundamental impact on the broader oppositional movement. Yet, while both...

En mémoire de la forêt

Autor: Charles T. Powers

Número de Páginas: 338

" Un roman d'une rare intensité, d'une puissance ahurissante, aussi bien sur le fond que sur la forme. Ce livre extraordinaire restera hélas, mille fois hélas, le seul ouvrage de son auteur, mais c'est un chef-d'oeuvre, et en tant que tel, je suis sûr qu'il marquera durablement l'esprit de ses lecteurs. Il le mérite. " R. J. Ellory Élu meilleur thriller de l'année par le New York Times. En Pologne, quelques années après la chute du communisme. Lorsqu'on retrouve le cadavre d'un homme dans la forêt qui entoure le petit bourg de Jadowia, Leszek, un ami de la famille du disparu, décide de faire la lumière sur cette affaire. Il comprend vite que cet assassinat est lié à l'histoire trouble du village. Mais dans cette petite communauté soudée par le silence, beaucoup ont intérêt à avoir la mémoire courte et sont prêts à tout pour ne pas réveiller les fantômes du passé. L'ère communiste a en effet laissé derrière elle bien des séquelles et personne n'a rien à gagner à évoquer cette période où la dénonciation était encouragée, la paranoïa et la corruption omniprésentes, les comportements souvent veules. Sans parler de secrets plus profondément...

Roman Polanski

Autor: Julia Ain-krupa

Número de Páginas: 196

This book offers an examination of the films of Roman Polanski, focusing on the impact that his life as an exile has had upon his work. Roman Polanski: A Life in Exile is a revealing look at this acclaimed filmmaker whose life in exile seems to have made his films all the more personal and powerful. Written by a film critic, this insightful book follows Polanski's story from his childhood in a World War II Jewish ghetto to his early films in Poland; from his American breakout, Rosemary's Baby, to his wife's murder by the Manson family; from the spectacular return of Chinatown, to his exile as a convicted sex criminal, to the monumental career peak, The Pianist. The Holocaust, the oppression of communism, the shattering of the swinging 60s, the decadence of Hollywood, the life of a fugitive—Polanski experienced all of these firsthand, and understanding those experiences provides a fascinating pathway through his work.
