    UDA 2008-2009 Le monde en pages L’homme qui tombe de Don DeLillo Animation de l’Atelier Daniel Simon L'Homme qui tombe, Don DeLillo, traduit de l'américain par Marianne Véron, Actes Sud, 298 pp., env. 22 € Le 11 septembre de DeLillo Guy Duplat Mis en ligne le 11/04/2008 Le romancier américain publie, à son tour, son roman sur "la catastrophe" A près avoir donné du temps au temps et laissé retomber l'émotion immédiate, les grands romanciers américains se sont emparés des attentats du 11 septembre comme d'un événement mythique, refondateur ou destructeur, de l'identité américaine. Il y eut l'an dernier, le roman de Jay McInerney "La belle vie" (aux Editions de l'Olivier), un des plus réussis sur ce thème. La semaine dernière, nous parlions du dernier livre d'Updike, "Terroriste" (au Seuil), un thriller. On attendait encore le roman de Don DeLillo, le voici. A nouveau, comme dans ces autres romans sur le 11-9, "L'homme qui tombe" ne parle pas immédiatement de la chute des tours (quoique) mais évoque plutôt son impact sur les esprits. Il raconte comment certains survivants ont reçu dans leur chair, comme des stigmates, des bouts de corps des victimes. Et, surtout, comment des millions d'autres Américains ont vu leurs tours intérieures se fissurer et leur vision de leur monde proche, dangereusement basculer. Il y avait un monde avant le 11 septembre, il y en a un autre après. POKER À LAS VEGAS L'histoire est d'apparence simple. Keith, un banquier qui travaillait dans une des tours du WTC, juste en dessous de l'impact meurtrier, a pu, par miracle, s'échapper à temps et il arrive couvert de gravats et de coupures chez son ex-femme Lianne et leur fils Justin.

  • A Little Tour in France
    A LITTLE TOUR IN FRANCE with ninety-four illustrations by JOSEPH PENNELL LONDON WILLIAM HEINEMANN 1900 Preface Preface The notes presented in this volume were gathered, as will easily be perceived, a number of years ago and on an expectation not at that time answered by the event, and were then published in the United States. The expectation had been that they should accompany a series of drawings, and they themselves were altogether governed by the pictorial spirit. They made, and they make in appearing now, after a considerable interval and for the first time, in England, no pretension to any other; they are impressions, immediate, easy, and consciously limited; if the written word may ever play the part of brush or pencil, they are sketches on "drawing-paper" and nothing more. From the moment the principle of selection and expression, with a tourist, is not the delight of the eyes and the play of fancy, it should be an energy in every way much larger; there is no happy mean, in other words, I hold, between the sense and the quest of the picture, and the surrender to it, and the sense and the quest of the constitution, the inner springs of the subject—springs and connections social, economic, historic. One must really choose, in other words, between the benefits of the perception of surface—a perception, when fine, perhaps none of the most frequent—and those of the perception of very complex underlying matters. If these latter had had, for me, to be taken into account, my pages would not have been collected.

  • Les Cinq Cents Millions De La Begum by Jules Verne
    Les Cinq Cents Millions de la Begum By Jules Verne 1 I OU MR. SHARP FAIT SON ENTREE << Ces journaux anglais sont vraiment bien faits ! >> se dit à lui-même le bon docteur en se renversant dans un grand fauteuil de cuir. Le docteur Sarrasin avait toute sa vie pratiqué le monologue, qui est une des formes de la distraction. C'était un homme de cinquante ans, aux traits fins, aux yeux vifs et purs sous leurs lunettes d'acier, de physionomie à la fois grave et aimable, un de ces individus dont on se dit à première vue : voilà un brave homme. A cette heure matinale, bien que sa tenue ne trahît aucune recherche, le docteur était déjà rasé de frais et cravaté de blanc. Sur le tapis, sur les meubles de sa chambre d'hôtel, à Brighton, s'étalaient le Times, le Daily Telegraph, le Daily News. Dix heures sonnaient à peine, et le docteur avait eu le temps de faire le tour de la ville, de visiter un hôpital, de rentrer à son hôtel et de lire dans les principaux journaux de Londres le compte rendu in extenso d'un mémoire qu'il avait présenté l'avant-veille au grand Congrès international d'Hygiène, sur un << compte-globules du sang >> dont il était l'inventeur. Devant lui, un plateau, recouvert d'une nappe blanche, contenait une côtelette cuite à point, une tasse de thé fumant et quelques-unes de ces rôties au beurre que les cuisinières anglaises font à merveille, 2 grâce aux petits pains spéciaux que les boulangers leur fournissent.

  • Myth: Hades/ Underworld
    Myth: Hades/ Underworld The Underworld was hidden deep in the earth and was the kingdom of the dead, ruled by god Hades. Hades was a greedy god, whose sole purpose was to increase the number of souls in his kingdom; at the same time, he was very reluctant to let any soul leave. The Erinnyes were welcomed in the Underworld. For most souls, life in the underworld was not particularly unpleasant. It was rather like being in a miserable dream, full of shadows, ill-lit and desolate, barren of hope; a joyless place where the dead slowly faded into nothingness. Geographically, the Underworld was considered to have been surrounded by five rivers: the Acheron (river of woe), the Cocytus (river of lamentation), the Phlegethon (river of fire), the Styx (river of unbreakable oath by which the gods took vows), and the Lethe (river of forgetfulness). Past the rivers, a diamond gate, guarded by Cerberus, formed the entrance to the kingdom. Deep within the kingdom, lay Hades' vast palace, full with guests. Upon death, a soul was led by Hermes near the entrance of the underworld, where the ferry awaited to carry it across the Acheron. There was a single ferry run by Charon, the boatman who took the souls across the river. Only those who could pay the fare with coins placed on their lips when buried were granted passage; the rest were trapped between two worlds. After the boat ride, the souls entered through the gates; Cerberus allowed everyone to enter, but none to leave. The souls then appeared before a panel of three judges, Rhadamanthus, Minos, and Aeacus, who passed sentence based on their deeds during their previous life.

  • Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)” . If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in "sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.
