Ikke bare glad i å lese dem, men glad i å se på dem, og lukte dem. Glad i sidene som kvitrer når de er nye og senere tykner og blir gule. Glad i min egen forventning når jeg holder en bok i hendene og ennå ikke vet hva som vil bli meg fortalt. Jeg innbiller meg at jeg også alltid har likt å være omgitt av bøker. Men alltid er nok en overdrivelse, for vi hadde få bøker hjemme da jeg var barn. På biblioteket derimot, og i bokhandelen, der kunne jeg gå meg vill blant alle bokryggene.

  • Shakespeare and Company Free
    FREE SHAKESPEARE AND COMPANY PDF Sylvia Beach,James Laughlin | 268 pages | 01 Oct 1991 | University of Nebraska Press | 9780803260979 | English | Lincoln, United States Shakespeare and Co. In Novemberthe historic bookstore turned years old. This is a rare feat for any business, let alone one in such a tumultuous industry as books. The year was Shakespeare and Company France and the rest of the world were in Shakespeare and Company midst of the last global pandemic. Sylvia Beach fell in love with Paris as a teen. She then moved to Paris and joined the Red Cross to help with the war effort. She originally hoped to join the Finley Unit as a translator. There she did her work with the Red Cross and with Serbian feminists, but found the work frustrating in the face of overwhelming patriarchy. She witnessed the voices of women authors Virginia Woolf and booksellers Adrienne Monnier, with whom Beach would later have a romantic relationship suppressed, and so took the next step: opening her own bookstore on November 19,at 8 rue Dupuytren. Shakespeare and Company was more than an English bookstore in Paris. It was more than a place to find feminist writings in a patriarchal world. It became a flame attracting the many moth-like expat writers living in Paris. An Shakespeare and Company young man named Ernest Hemingway found his way to Shakespeare and Company in the early s. Scott Fitzgerald, and many other expatriate writers found a haven in Paris with Beach and her store. Shortly thereafter, Beach met James Joyce at a party.

Bezchmurne, rozgwieżdżone niebo, po którym płyną powoli niewielkie, barwne płomyki. Światełka niosące życzenia, marzenia i pragnienia ludzkie. Lecą wysoko w dal, by zanieść je aż do gwiazd. To lampiony szczęścia, małe baloniki o różnych kształtach i kolorach. Mają przynosić szczęście osobom, dla których są wypuszczane w niebo. Nazywa się je lampionami chińskimi, tradycja wywodzi się z kultury azjatyckiej, gdzie określa się je jako Podniebne Latarnie. Ich symboliczne przeznaczenie to unoszenie życzeń ku gwiazdom. Im wyżej i dalej pofrunie lampion, tym większa moc złożonych życzeń. W ładną noc, przy sprzyjającej pogodzie, lampiony mogą zawędrować bardzo wysoko, stapiając się z gwiazdami, a wtedy, wedle chińskich wierzeń, spełnienie życzeń staje się niemal pewne Puszczać je może każdy. Para zakochanych, pro- sząca o niegasnące uczucie, czy młodzi nowożeńcy na początku własnej, nowej drogi. Mali i duzi, dzieci i dorośli. Każdy, kto nosi w sercu marzenia. Jakże pięknym widokiem jest obraz szybujących lampionów, odbijających się ciepłym ognikiem na tle czarnej otchłani nieba. Warto więc oderwać się na chwilę od codziennego pędu i zabiegania, żeby pomyśleć, cze- go w życiu pragniemy. Stanąć wieczorem nad brze- giem morza, na łące czy w jakimś miejskim zakątku i wypuścić w niebo lampion szczęścia, a patrząc, jak wznosi się ku górze, po prostu oddać się marzeniom.

  • Guide to a Scholarly Pilgrimage in the Latin Quarter in Paris Version Dec
    Guide to a scholarly pilgrimage in the Latin Quarter in Paris Version Dec. 2019 Donald Broady SEC (Sociology of Education and Culture), Uppsala University www.skeptron.uu.se/broady/sec/, [email protected] The following is a proposal for a walking tour in the 5th and a small corner of the 6th arrondissement in Paris, a part of the city known as le Quartier Latin. I have on many occasions guided similar sightseeing promenades for non-French colleagues and students in the humanities and social sciences. Many of them have been sociologists, which explains the choice of sites to visit. This version of the guide reflects a walk on December 11th, 2019, together with colleagues and ten students enrolled in Uppsala University’s international master’s program in Sociology of Education. Two days earlier we had spent the afternoon at the Père-Lachaise cemetery where we caught some glimpses of the French and Parisian intellectual history by contemplating at the tombs of illustrious men and some women. One aim with the walk through the Latin Quarter was to let the students visit places related to institutions and names that occur in their course pensum, namely in a number of books on the history of the French educational system and on French sociological traditions. To mention a few exemples: É. Durkheim, L’évolution pédagogique en France (1938); P. Bourdieu & J.-C. Passeron, Les héritiers (1964); P. Bourdieu & J.-C. Passeron, La reproduction (1970); P. Bourdieu, Homo academicus (1984); P. Bourdieu, La noblesse d’État (1989); Toril Moi, Simone de Beauvoir (2 ed.
