Desde Las Orillas Del Sena Desde Las Orillas Del Sena Tomo XXVI Desde las orillas del Sena Desde las orillas del Sena Tomo XXVI. Serie “Cartas a Ofelia” Félix José Hernández 1 Desde las orillas del Sena A Diana 2 Desde las orillas del Sena "La Libertad, Sancho, es uno de los más preciosos dones que a los hombres dieron los cielos; con ella no pueden igualarse los tesoros que encierra la tierra ni el mar encubre; por la libertad así como por la honra se puede y debe aventurar la vida, y, por el contrario, el cautiverio es el mayor mal que puede venir a los hombres". Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. 3 Desde las orillas del Sena Mis Memorias de Exilio París, 11 de octubre 2019. Queridos amigos: El origen de Cartas a Ofelia está en las narraciones surgidas inicialmente a partir de las cartas que escribía cada semana a mi madre, Ofelia Valdés Ríos, contándole mis experiencias del exilio parisino. En ellas cuento lo que veo y siento: filmes, obras de teatro, museos, exposiciones, los libros que leo, las relaciones con los galos, la sociedad francesa, la política, Cuba vista desde aquí, los viajes por 76 países a lo largo de estos 38 años, mis éxitos y mis fracasos, mis nostalgias y mi amor por 4 Desde las orillas del Sena la Libertad, las relaciones con personalidades del exilio, mi trabajo en el Instituto y en la Universidad como profesor de Civilización Latinoamericana, las relaciones con colegas, alumnos y estudiantes, etc., en resumen, es la experiencia vivida por una familia cubana en todos estos años.Además aparecen los testimonios de numerosas personas que han logrado conquistar la Libertad. En realidad son mis Memorias de Exilio. He contado numerosas anécdotas sobre mi infancia en mi querido pueblo natal de Camajuaní (1949-1959), así como de mi adolescencia y juventud habaneras (1959- 1981). Un gran abrazo a todos desde La Ciudad Luz, Félix José Hernández. 5 Desde las orillas del Sena Octavio Paz “Mis palabras irritarán a muchos; no importa, el pensamiento independiente es casi siempre impopular”.

On peut encore lire l'inscription suivante en haut de la porte des murs de Dubrovnik « Non bene pro toto libertas venditur auro ». Il faut sauver le monde libre est un magnifique livre, écrit avec la plume exceptionnelle de Mathieu Laine. Il s’agit d’une œuvre remarquable qui porte la marque d'un indéniable talent, qui nous rappelle les paroles du grand Victor Hugo : « La liberté, la liberté. Sauvons la liberté. La liberté sauve le reste. » Une grande lecture très efficace, à propos de la liberté qui vous emporte dès la première page. Pour sauver le monde libre, il faut oser identifier ce qu'il nous a apporté de bon et le faire évoluer en profondeur. Il faut regarder nos erreurs en face et nous armer solidement pour répondre aux nouveaux défis. Nous vivons un gigantesque paradoxe : les statistiques nous disent que le monde va mieux et nous avons, notamment en Europe et en Amérique, le sentiment que tout part en vrille. En conséquence, nous « dégageons » ceux qui nous dirigent et sommes séduits par des hommes à poigne et leurs programmes autoritaires. Faut-il s'en indigner ? Surtout pas ! La posture morale est vaine. Pire, elle nourrit la spirale actuelle. Non, il faut regarder nos erreurs en face sans avoir honte de nos 11 Desde las orillas del Sena succès. Et nous armer solidement pour répondre aux nouveaux défis. Pour sauver le monde libre, il faut oser identifier ce qu'il nous a apporté de bon tout le faisant évoluer en profondeur. En convoquant les grands penseurs contemporains et les auteurs universels des temps passés, Mathieu Laine affronte des sujets aussi variés que les migrants, le retour en force du nationalisme, la percée populiste, le repli identitaire, le piège transhumaniste, le choc des inégalités ou la tentation protectionniste. Il nous offre en quelques pages une lecture condensée et ciselée de notre monde : qui sommes-nous ? D'où venons-nous ? Où allons-nous ? Autour de quelles valeurs, de quels projets devons-nous nous unir pour sauver l'essentiel et reprendre le contrôle de notre avenir ? Sans complaisance, il avance des pistes concrètes pour éviter, demain, de devoir éteindre la lumière. Mathieu Laine dénonce ceux qui prétendent que le monde "souffre de trop de liberté" - 18/06/2019 Mathieu Laine, entrepreneur et professeur à Sciences Po, est venu défendre son nouvel ouvrage intitulé "Il faut sauver le monde libre", paru aux éditions Plon. L'auteur dénonce notamment ceux qui prétendent que le monde "souffre de trop de liberté". Selon lui, la liberté est "le cœur même de notre vie", et elle serait aujourd'hui 12 Desde las orillas del Sena "menacée". - Good Morning Business, du mardi 18 juin 2019, présenté par Stéphane Soumier, sur BFM Business : https://bfmbusiness.bfmtv.com/mediaplayer/video/mathie u-laine-denonce-ceux-qui-pretendent-que-le-monde- souffre-de-trop-de-liberte-1806-1169152.html Mathieu Laine est entrepreneur et professeur affilié à Sciences Po. Éditorialiste au Point et au Figaro, il a notamment publié La Grande Nurserie (JC Lattès) et le Dictionnaire amoureux de la liberté (Plon), ainsi que Le Roi qui n'aimait pas la musique (Gallimard Jeunesse), un conte musical pour enfants, avec le compositeur Karol Beffa.

Forts du succès des expositions organisées conjointement depuis 2014, le château de Versailles et le Centre des monuments nationaux poursuivent leur partenariat en 2019 avec une nouvelle présentation d’œuvres issues des collections du château de Versailles dans un monument national avec « Henri IV, un roi dans l’Histoire. Collections du château de Versailles au château ducal de Cadillac » du 12 juin au 29 septembre 2019. Consacrée à la figure d’Henri IV (1553-1610), cette exposition sous le commissariat de Raphaël Masson et Lionel Arsac présentera une cinquantaine d’œuvres 14 Desde las orillas del Sena (peintures, sculptures, gravures et objets d’art). Elle permettra de découvrir des œuvres habituellement conservées en réserve, dont certaines seront restaurées pour l’occasion et révélées au public. La première partie de cette exposition sera consacrée à une évocation de la vie du roi. À travers une sélection de portraits, seront évoqués la jeunesse d’Henri de Navarre, ses premiers pas à la cour des Valois et son chemin vers le trône. Le règne sera ensuite abordé par le biais de portraits de sa famille et de ses familiers. La seconde partie de l’exposition évoquera la fortune posthume d’Henri IV, élaborée dès le XVIIIe siècle et encouragée par Louis XV et Louis XVI, conscients de l’intérêt de célébrer le fondateur de la dynastie. La figure du roi bienfaiteur, pacificateur et remarquable administrateur de son royaume se développa ensuite tout au long du XIXe siècle.

PETROPOULOS deposes and certifies, as follows: 1. I am over the age of twenty-one and reside at 526 West 12th Street, Claremont, California, 91711. I have been retained by the attorneys for the heirs of George Grosz to provide this Declaration in relation to factual issues arising from a motion by the defendant, The Museum of Modern Art (“The MoMA”), to dismiss the First Amended Complaint (“FAC”). 2. Specifically, I have been requested to review two questions: (1) whether the allegations that three paintings by George Grosz, Portrait of the Poet Max-Herrmann- Neisse (with Cognac Glass), Self-Portrait with Model and Republican Automatons (together “the Paintings”), were lost or stolen are grounded in historical fact; and (2) whether the report of Nicholas deB. Katzenbach (“the Katzenbach Report”) submitted in support of the motion to dismiss is consistent with the historical record and provenance documentation available to art historians and scholars. As set forth below, a review of available documentation and scholarly resources shows: (1) that the allegations of the FAC appear to be supported by documentary evidence and otherwise well-grounded in historical fact and (2) that the statements contained in the Katzenbach Report are inconsistent with the historical record.

However, just a few decades after this time of hegemony, the same nation underwent a drastic change that would alter the reality of its international influence. This realization did not occur due to a loss of a colony from peaceful pressure, like India, or violent revolutions, like in Egypt. Instead, the response to events within Greece between December 1944 and June 1945 signaled the beginning of a British acceptance of their position in world politics as a secondary player, and one that shied away from the imperial mindset of old to recognize its place given the rising status of the United States and the Soviet Union.

It asserts that U.S. intervention in Greece was based on circumstantial evidence and the assumption of Soviet global intentions, rather than on dispatches from the field which consistently reported from 1943-1946 that the Soviets were not involved in that country’s affairs.

  • Discriminating Thieves: Nazi-Looted Art and Restitution Library Guide
    Library Guide Discriminating Thieves: Nazi-Looted Art and Restitution Resource List | 2019 During World War II, the Nazis waged a cultural battle as well as a physical one. One aspect of the cultural war was the looting of art on a large scale from German institutions, individuals and occupied countries. Looted works might be deemed “degenerate” and sold or destroyed or valued because Hitler believed they reinforced the Nazi’s ideological beliefs. After the war, many looted works of art were found and returned to their owners by the Allies while the complex histories of others are still being researched today. This bibliography, compiled to accompany the exhibition Discriminating Thieves: Nazi-Looted Art and Restitution, includes books about art and World War II, the Monuments Men, and titles on provenance research. Also included are relevant materials held by the Museum Archives. If you have questions, please contact the reference staff at the Spencer Art Reference Library (telephone: 816.751.1216).

  • Repatriation and Guilt in Postwar Japan Kilby Hammond, University of San Francisco1
    Asia Pacific Perspectives ∙ Spring/Summer 2015 The Question of Japanese-ness: Repatriation and Guilt in Postwar Japan Kilby Hammond, University of San Francisco1 Abstract After World War II, the millions Japanese soldiers and civilians living abroad in Japan’s former empire were sent home by Allied forces. This article explores the impact of that repatriation on the Japanese homeland, and the social phenomena of scapegoating, alienation, and cultural prejudices that met many returnees. Using memoirs and cultural works, this article considers the experience of repatriation from 1945 to 1958. In so doing, it highlights the connection between repatriation, national identity, and Japan’s struggle with war guilt and responsibility as a defeated and occupied nation. Keywords: Japan, identity, postwar period, World War II Introduction At the end of World War II, millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who had been spread across East Asia came home to Japan. The interaction between home island Japanese and these repatriates provides a useful lens to view the collective Japanese struggle to come to terms with the lost war. Japanese leaders called for collective repentance for the actions of the country, but guilt and responsibility were difficult burdens to bear in the ruins of a Japan that had suffered under Allied airpower.
