The Tapestry of Odette

Autor: Nika Engel

Número de Páginas: 249

The story of Odette, a schizophrenic girl caught between a cold reality in an abusive foster home and a bizarre set of fantasies where she is considered a god by her creations. But the intentions of the inhabitants of her psyche, divided into two warring factions, are even less clear than those of the people she encounters in her real world of school and never-ending therapy, which is ruled by her charismatic and psychotic best friend Anna. Her ability to distinguish between the two becomes gradually worse as her real life deteriorates and the complexities of her hallucinations increase. She finds herself both unwilling to choose a side and unable to influence the decisions of the two faction's leaders; Alexander, a cunning and manipulative High Priest, and Amelia, a ruthless assassin, who both wish to use her as a pawn to further their own goals.

Du mythique au mystique

Autor: Jacques Ribard

Número de Páginas: 432

Depuis plus de vingt ans Jacques Ribard s'est signalé à l'attention des médiévistes, français et étrangers, par une approche des textes littéraires des XIIe et XIIIe siècles fondée sur l'étude des réseaux symboliques dans les grandes œuvres de cette époque, en s'attachant à y déceler les implications mythiques et mystiques qui s'y cachent. Il portait ainsi un regard renouvelé sur les Chansons de geste - la Chanson de Roland en particulier - sur les Romans de Tristan, les Lais de Marie de France, les œuvres les plus célèbres de Chrétien de Troyes - et notamment son Conte du Graal - sur le Roman de la Rose et la Quête du saint Graal, ainsi que sur le théâtre médiéval. Cette quête symbolique de la senefiance s'est illustrée dans de nombreux articles dont on a choisi de retenir, dans ce recueil, les plus significatifs, en manière d'hommage à un maître qui n'a cessé d'honorer la littérature du Moyen Age. -- 4ème de couverture.

'I am a very ordinary woman to whom a chance was given to see human beings at their best and at their worst... I completely believe in the potential nobility of the human spirit.' During some of the darkest days of the Second World War, a young Frenchwoman living as a mother and housewife in England left her ordinary life to become a British agent, working covertly in France to aid the Resistance. Entering a murky and deadly world of espionage and double-dealing, she was betrayed to the Germans, only to endure torture by the Gestapo and the hell of the infamous concentration camp of Ravensbruck. Yet she retained a compassion, grace and spiritedness that mystified her captors; and, living to see the liberation of Europe, she kept, in the direst circumstances, her fundamental trust in goodness. ODETTE tells the moving and inspirational story of a woman, who, in her courage and her ability to hold on to hope, was far from ordinary.

Paris, 1380. Beneath the glittering façade of Charles V’s reign, a darkness stirs. Odette de Champdivers, a dispossessed noblewoman, stalks the shadows as a phantom of justice. Armed with her falcon, Isabeau, and a whisper-silent bow, she delivers vengeance to those who prey on the weak. But when a macabre spectacle unfolds—influential figures found dead with a single raven’s feather upon their chests—Odette’s hunt takes a chilling turn. The Raven’s terror strikes close to home, claiming the life of Odette’s dearest friend’s husband. The feather, a chilling echo of Odette’s own buried trauma, ignites a burning need for retribution. Her pursuit leads her into the labyrinthine heart of Paris, from the opulent halls of the Palais de la Cité to the squalid Saint-Marcel district. Lord Armand Perrin, the city’s outwardly pious magistrate, becomes a prime suspect, his iron fist and rumored vices casting a long shadow. Yet, another figure emerges: Jean-Luc Moreau, an apothecary whose charm masks a disquieting knowledge of poisons. Ally or adversary? Odette must discern the truth before the Raven claims another victim. The hunt becomes a deadly game of cat and mouse,...

Swann's Way

Autor: Marcel Proust

Número de Páginas: 498

From the French novelist, essayist, critic, and one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century: the first volume of his monumental masterpiece, one of the most sensitive renderings of childhood in fiction and a brilliant meditation on the recreation of the past through memory and art. In C. K. Scott Moncrieff's heralded original English translation, as revised by Terence Kilmartin based on the definitive French Pléiade edition. Swann’s Way is the most frequently read part of Proust’s epic novel, Remembrance of Things Past (also known as In Search of Lost Time). It introduces subjects that resonate throughout the entire work, including the narrator’s love for Swann’s daughter Gilberte, Swann’s jealous passion for Odette, and the rise of the nouveaux-riches Verdurins. Proust’s narrator vividly recalls his childhood in Paris and Combray, most famously in a fraught evocation of his mother’s good-night kiss and in the iconic scene where the taste of a madeleine dipped in tea brings back a flood of memory.

He spends his days mopping up giant slug slime, avoiding poison darts, and herding undead skeletons. It’s all he knows. Until an unusual band of adventurers—an acrobatic elf, a warrior with a magic arm, and a giant made of moss—successfully defeat Wily’s traps. And they want the ultimate treasure: Wily himself. His skills can help them invade every other dungeon in the kingdom. He might even aid their fight against the Infernal King, whose gearfolk and prisonauts terrorize the land.
