  • Gérard De Nerval Et Charles Nodier: Le Rêve Et La Folie
    ABSTRACT GÉRARD DE NERVAL ET CHARLES NODIER: LE RÊVE ET LA FOLIE par Laetitia Gouhier Charles Nodier et Gérard de Nerval entreprennent dans La Fée aux miettes et Aurélia une exploration du moi et de la destinée de ce moi à la recherche d’une vérité transcendante qui est la quête du bonheur à travers une femme aimée irrémédiablement perdue. Pour cela ils développent un mode d’expression en marge des modes littéraires de l’époque en ayant recours au mode fantastique. En effet, l’exploration du moi est liée à la perception surnaturaliste intervenant dans les rêves des protagonistes de ces deux contes. Il s’agit dans cette étude de voir comment l’irruption de l’irréel chez Nodier et Nerval creuse un espace dans lequel instaurer le moi et pourquoi l’irréel et le fantastique provoquent l’interrogation du « moi » en littérature jetant un doute sur sa santé mentale.

  • Century: 1969 Volume III, Number 2 PDF Book at the Flying Cylinder, Mina Meets and Questions Gallion's Partner Julia, Who Takes Her Back to Her Flat
    THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN: CENTURY: 1969 VOLUME III, NUMBER 2 PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Kevin O'Neill,Alan Moore | 80 pages | 09 Aug 2011 | Top Shelf Productions | 9781603090063 | English | Georgia, United States The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century: 1969 Volume III, Number 2 PDF Book At the Flying Cylinder, Mina meets and questions Gallion's partner Julia, who takes her back to her flat. Current selection is: Paperback. Mycroft receives news of the Nautilus attacking the London docks, as well as a letter from the Earl of Gurney confessing to all the Ripper crimes, so he orders for MacHeath to be freed without charge and sends the League to the docks. When no such apology was forthcoming, Moore and O'Neill decided to withdraw future volumes of the League from DC in protest. The series spans four volumes, an original graphic novel , and a spin-off trilogy of graphic novella. While the men fight, Mina comes face to face with Janni, who recognises her. The vicious gangster bosses of London's East End find themselves brought into contact with a counter-culture underground of mystical and medicated flower-children, or amoral pop-stars on the edge of psychological disintegration and developing a taste for Satanism. He recognises one of the men in his visions as paranormal detective Simon Iff , and the League go to a gentlemen's club Carnacki and Iff regularly attend to learn more about him. Moore was in too much hurry to finish. The sequence in which Janni Dakkar aka Pirate Jenny exacts her brutal revenge on the London docks is probably the best- executed in the book.

  • The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century 1910 Free
    FREE THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN: CENTURY 1910 PDF Alan Moore,Kevin O'Neill | 80 pages | 22 May 2009 | KNOCKABOUT COMICS | 9780861661602 | English | London, United Kingdom The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century by Alan Moore Over the course of its three previous volumes, "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" has evolved from a clever adventure yarn starring some of the most notorious characters in literary history to nothing The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century 1910 of an attempt to catalogue and unify every creative work in the literary canon. When "Century" was announced, it was only natural to wonder which direction the series would end up in. While it's certainly pulled back from the rampant text pieces that overtook "The Black Dossier," it's no longer a plot-driven adventure story either. It has become a rather bleak meditation on heroism. It seems fitting, though, as the story is evolving past the era of literature that was driven by pulp stories and into the one of "finer" literature. This particular installment is clearly inspired by the opera work of Bertolt Brecht, specifically "The Threepenny Opera," whose songs this book adapts liberally. Mina Murray and Allan Quatermain are now immortal, and joined in their league by fellow immortal Orlando, currently male; the thief Raffles; and the psychic Carnacki. They are tasked with thwarting an apocalypse which Carnacki has foreseen, involving the mystic cult led by Oliver Haddo. They blunder through their investigations, uncovering little of value and potentially cluing Haddo himself into what he might specifically need to bring about this foretold apocalypse.

  • THE THREE MUSKETEERS by Alexandre Dumas
    THE THREE MUSKETEERS by Alexandre Dumas THE AUTHOR Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) was born in a small French village northeast of Paris. His father had been a general under Napoleon, and his paternal grandfather had lived in Haiti and had married a former slave woman there, thus making Dumas what was called a quadroon. Napoleon and his father had parted on bad terms, with Dumas’ father being owed a large sum of money; the failure to pay this debt left the family poor and struggling, though the younger Dumas remained an admirer of the French emperor. Young Dumas moved to Paris in 1823 and took a job as a clerk to the Duke of Orleans (later to become King Louis Philippe), but soon began writing plays. Though his plays were successful and he made quite a handsome living from them, his profligate lifestyle (both financially and sexually) kept him constantly on the edge of bankruptcy. He played an active role in the revolution of 1830, and then turned to writing novels. As was the case with Dickens in England, his books were published in cheap newspapers in serial form. Dumas proved able to crank out popular stories at an amazing rate, and soon became the most famous writer in France. Among his works are The Three Musketeers (1844), The Count of Monte Cristo (1845), and The Man in the Iron Mask (1850). Dumas’ novels tend to be long and full of flowery description (some cynics suggest that this is because he was paid by the word), and for this reason often appear today in the form of abridged translations (if you ever doubt the value of such an approach, take a look at the unabridged version of Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables sometime).

  • Discussion About Edwardian/Pulp Era Science Fiction
    Science Fiction Book Club Interview with Jess Nevins July 2019 Jess Nevins is the author of “the Encyclopedia of Fantastic Victoriana” and other works on Victoriana and pulp fiction. He has also written original fiction. He is employed as a reference librarian at Lone Star College-Tomball. Nevins has annotated several comics, including Alan Moore’s The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Elseworlds, Kingdom Come and JLA: The Nail. Gary Denton: In America, we had Hugo Gernsback who founded science fiction magazines, who were the equivalents in other countries? The sort of science fiction magazine that Gernsback established, in which the stories were all science fiction and in which no other genres appeared, and which were by different authors, were slow to appear in other countries and really only began in earnest after World War Two ended. (In Great Britain there was briefly Scoops, which only 20 issues published in 1934, and Tales of Wonder, which ran from 1937 to 1942). What you had instead were newspapers, dime novels, pulp magazines, and mainstream magazines which regularly published science fiction mixed in alongside other genres. The idea of a magazine featuring stories by different authors but all of one genre didn’t really begin in Europe until after World War One, and science fiction magazines in those countries lagged far behind mysteries, romances, and Westerns, so that it wasn’t until the late 1940s that purely science fiction magazines began appearing in Europe and Great Britain in earnest. Gary Denton: Although he was mainly known for Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle also created the Professor Challenger stories like The Lost World.

II. : THE deiterol STUD BOOK, CONTAINING PEDIGREES OF RACE HORSES, &C. &-C. From the earliest Accounts to the Year 1831. inclusice. ITS FOUR VOLUMES. VOL. II. Brussels PRINTED FOR MELINE, CANS A.ND C"., EOILEVARD DE WATERLOO, Zi. M DCCC XXXIX. MR V. un:ve PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. To assist in the detection of spurious and the correction of inaccu- rate pedigrees, is one of the purposes of the present publication, in which respect the first Volume has been of acknowledged utility. The two together, it is hoped, will form a comprehensive and tole- rably correct Register of Pedigrees. It will be observed that some of the Mares which appeared in the last Supplement (whereof this is a republication and continua- tion) stand as they did there, i. e. without any additions to their produce since 1813 or 1814. — It has been ascertained that several of them were about that time sold by public auction, and as all attempts to trace them have failed, the probability is that they have either been converted to some other use, or been sent abroad. If any proof were wanting of the superiority of the English breed of horses over that of every other country, it might be found in the avidity with which they are sought by Foreigners. The exportation of them to Russia, France, Germany, etc. for the last five years has been so considerable, as to render it an object of some importance in a commercial point of view.

  • Kipling, the Story-Writer
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFO! AT LOS ANGELES SEMICENTENNIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA 1868-1918 42 1 6 KIPLING THE STORY-WRITER BY WALTER MORRIS HART UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA PRESS BERKELEY 1918 28412 TO A. B. H. VA PREFACE In the course of an attempt to trace the history of the Short- Story in English it came to seem desirable, three or four years ago, to examine with some thoroughness, as the terminus ad quern, the work of Rudyard Kipling. The results of this study were rather fully set forth in the form of notes intended for class-room lectures. Revision and publication of these notes was advised by Professor Bliss Perry of Harvard College and by Professor Charles Mills Gayley of the University of Califor- nia. To these good friends of the writer this little book owes its being. Without their criticisms and suggestions, moreover, it would have been even less worthy than it is of the author with whom it is concerned. To him, to Mr. Kipling himself, thanks are due for gracious permission to take from his works the many illustrative passages with which these pages are adorned.
