A milestone in the history of the novel, Samuel Richardson's epistolary and elaborate Clarissa follows the life of a chaste young woman desperate to protect her virtue. When beautiful Clarissa Harlowe is forced to marry the rich but repulsive Mr. Solmes, she refuses, much to her family's chagrin. She escapes their persecution with the help of Mr. Lovelace, a dashing and seductive rake, but soon finds herself in a far worse dilemma. Lovelace is a devil in disguise: he promptly imprisons Clarissa, and is determined to break her will. Terrifying and enlightening, Clarissa weaves a tapestry of narrative experimentation into a gripping morality tale of good triumphing over evil. The recording is divided into three volumes, the present release being the first. Clarissa is one of the longest novels in the English canon; many critics agree that it is one of the greatest and most influential in English. For this first ever unabridged recording, a carefully selected cast of readers bring to life Richardson's intricate narrative.

Valerie Coleman is regarded by many as an iconic artist who continues to pave her own unique path as a composer, GRAMMY®-nominated flutist, and entrepreneur. Highlighted as one of the “Top 35 Women Composers” by The Washington Post, she was named Performance Today’s 2020 Classical Woman of the Year, an honor bestowed to an individual who has made a significant contribution to classical music as a performer, composer, or educator.

Coleman’s work as a performer is just as impressive with an extensive discography and appearances throughout North America and Europe, in settings ranging from chamber to orchestral, as well as small group jazz.

Coleman is a founder and former flutist of Imani Winds. The acclaimed ensemble is featured in a dedicated exhibit at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C. Along with composer-harpist Hannah Lash, and composer-violist Nokuthula Ngwenyama, she co-founded and currently performs as flutist of the performer-composer trio Umama Womama.

Camille Claudel la transgressive, la sculptrice de genie, l'artiste sulfureuse et maudite, l'amante libre de Rodin, basculant dans la folie, enfermee � l'asile durant les trente dernieres annees de sa vie. Artiste trop en avance sur son temps, elle s'affranchit de toutes les regles, de toutes les conventions sociales. Son oeuvre sera sa vie. Outre qu'elle a sculpte avec acharnement durant trente ans, elle a ete, quasiment toute sa vie, une epistoliere assidue. Des lettres, elle en a ecrit des centaines, et nombreuses sont celles perdues ou detruites. Des lettres qui temoignent de son etat d'esprit, de ses ambitions artistiques, de sa passion tumultueuse avec Rodin, de son caractere emporte, de ses relations familiales et amicales le plus souvent conflictuelles, de sa sante psychique vacillante, de sa condition d'alienee � l'asile. Des ecrits qui sont aussi ceux d'une femme qui, dans un style precis et pur, combat son isolement et l'injustice. Gr�ce � ces lettres, magnifiquement lues par Emmanuelle Devos, on redecouvre son oeuvre ainsi que sa trajectoire, et on comprend pourquoi elle exerce une telle fascination aupres d'un large public. Claude COLOMBINI & Cecile BERLY Camille Claudel the transgressive, the sculptor of genius, the sulphurous and cursed artist, Rodin's free lover, tipped over into madness, locked up in an asylum for the last thirty years of her life. An artist too far ahead of her time, she broke all rules and social conventions. Her work became her life. In addition to her thirty years of relentless sculpting, she was, for most of her life, an assiduous letter-writer. She wrote hundreds of letters, many of them lost or destroyed. Letters that bear witness to her state of mind, her artistic ambitions, her tumultuous passion with Rodin, her fiery temper, her often conflicting family and friendships, her faltering mental health, her insane condition in an asylum. These are also the writings of a woman who, in a precise, pure style, fights against her isolation and injustice. Thanks to these letters, magnificently read by Emmanuelle Devos, we rediscover her work and her trajectory, and understand why she exerts such a fascination on a wide audience.

It took medievalist Emanuele Arioli ten long years of persistent research across Europe to unearth and reconstruct the story of the Knight of the Dragon. An authentic medieval marvel, this forgotten Arthurian novel recounts Segurant's adventures, from his childhood lion hunt on the island of Non Sachante, to his knighthood, his first battles and the great tournament at Winchester, where he meets King Arthur and challenges the greatest knights of his time, as well as his bewitchment by the fairy Morgana... Daniel Mesguich skilfully recounts the adventures of this forgotten Knight of the Round Table. He reveals the epic breath and hidden meaning of this resurrected novel. A true discovery of our literary heritage! Audiobook. In French. Claude COLOMBINI FRÉMEAUX

Germaine Tillion (1907-2008) was a French ethnologist and historian with an extraordinary career. She was a student of Marcel Mauss, a member of the Resistance in the Mus�e de l'Homme network, deported to Ravensbr�ck from 1943 to 1945, and committed throughout her life to the rights of women, prisoners and decolonisation. "Le Harem et les cousins", is her masterwork. She draws a relevant and disconcerting analysis of the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern world. MP3 Audiobook in French.

October 2024 marks the 80th anniversary of the death of composer Viktor Ullmann - an occasion to focus on his artistic legacy and his unshakeable belief in the power of art. As early as 1918, while stationed at the Italian front, Ullmann was intensively occupied with Rainer M. Rilke's "Die Weise von Liebe und Tod des Cornets Christoph Rilke" (The Love and Death of Cornet Christoph Rilke). This work accompanied him all the way to the Theresienstadt concentration camp, where he created an impressive melodrama from it in 1944. The Austrian pianist Senka Brankovic and the actor Helmut Mooshammer present Cornet Rilke's experiences in the war against the Turks, in which he finally meets his death, as a complete original narrative with Ullmann's music, including the passages omitted from Rilke's text by Ullmann. Today, in a time of fragile social conditions, his work reminds us once again of the everlasting importance of art and humanity.

Following the first in the Bock reads Bruckner series, which has already been released on CD and was dedicated to the composer's self-image and the Upper Austrian period of his life, and the second evening, which has also already been released, which showed the eternal bachelor as a suitor and shed light on his relationship with the 'fair sex', this is now the third recording of a total of five readings with music. Based on letters and diary entries, this time with distributed roles (Wolfgang Bock, Thomas Thieme), it deals with Anton Bruckner's almost unbridled admiration for Richard Wagner, which - of course - was only met by the latter to a limited extent, the encounters between the two composers, who were so fundamentally different, and Bruckner's regular 'pilgrimages' to Bayreuth. Musically, a little-known aspect of Wagner's oeuvre comes into focus: selected songs and piano pieces make it possible to get to know the great music dramatist as a creator of small-scale chamber music works (Daniel Linton-France, piano; Elisabeth Wimmer, soprano).

In this fascinating course, Olivier Barri�re, lawyer, and anthropology researcher, takes us to the heart of an essential question: how can we coexist sustainably with living beings, both human and non-human, in a world in the throes of ecological crisis? The result of a collective effort involving 63 researchers, and activists from around the world, this book highlights a powerful idea: our model of society, inherited from the West and dominated by capitalist logic, has severed the ties between humans and nature, transforming living beings into mere resources to be exploited. To break this deadlock, Olivier Barri�re draws on the wisdom of indigenous peoples to invite us to change our perspective, reconnect with living beings, and imagine a new legal and social framework where humans and non-humans can live together in a respectful and sustainable balance. - Claude Colombini and Patrick Fr�meaux

Dominique Bourg, philosophe de l'ecologie et de la politique, et Jean-Vincent Holeindre, politiste et specialiste de relations internationales, croisent leurs regards sur un phenomene majeur de notre epoque : le retour de la guerre en Europe, avec l'invasion de l'Ukraine par la Russie en fevrier 2022. en interrogeant les liens entre multilateralisme, conflits armes et crise climatique, ils revelent des dynamiques jusqu'ici trop rarement pensees ensemble. a travers une perspective historique, les auteurs devoilent les liens souvent ignores entre la guerre que l'humanite mene contre la nature et celle qu'elle se livre a elle-meme. Ils montrent que les conflits armes et les crises climatiques s'entrelacent et se renforcent mutuellement. Cette reflexion appelle un renouvellement profond des cadres de pensee strategiques et ecologiques, pour mieux comprendre et affronter les defis du monde actuel. Claude COLOMBINI FReMEAUX et Patrick FReMEAUX Dominique Bourg, a philosopher of ecology and politics, and Jean-Vincent Holeindre, a political scientist and specialist in international relations, offer their perspectives on a major phenomenon of our time: the return of war to Europe, with Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. By exploring the connections between multilateralism, armed conflict, and the climate crisis, they reveal dynamics that have rarely been considered together. Through a historical lens, the authors uncover often-overlooked links between humanity's war on nature and the wars it wages against itself. They demonstrate how armed conflicts and climate crises are intertwined and mutually reinforcing. This reflection calls for a profound renewal of strategic and ecological frameworks, in order to better understand and confront today's global challenges.

Observer l'histoire de l'humanite � partir des forets, c'est la perspective enthousiasmante que propose le journaliste, conferencier et essayiste Laurent Testot, qui s'inscrit dans le courant recent et novateur de l'histoire environnementale. L'auteur retrace l'histoire de l'humanite, depuis la formation des premiers empires de l'Antiquite romaine, chinoise et indienne, jusqu'aux societes medievales et modernes, en explorant le lien qu'elles ont entretenu avec leu environnement et leurs forets. On decouvre que, des les debuts de l'histoire humaine, des societes ont rapidement epuise leurs ressources, ce qui a souvent contribue de maniere significative � leur declin, voire � leur disparition. Les forets constituent des ecosystemes vivants d'une grande complexite, essentiels pour garantir l'habitabilite de notre planete. L'auteur prend le pari qu'un enseignement de l'histoire des forets nous permettra de relever les defis environnementaux contemporains. Claude COLOMBINI et Patrick FReMEAUX Journalist, lecturer and essayist Laurent Testot offers an exciting perspective on the history of mankind from the perspective of the forest, as part of a recent and innovative trend in environmental history. The author traces the history of mankind, from the formation of the first empires of Roman, Chinese and Indian antiquity, to medieval and modern societies, exploring their relationship with the environment and their forests. We discover that, from the very beginnings of human history, societies rapidly depleted their resources, often contributing significantly to their decline or even disappearance. Forests are highly complex living ecosystems, essential to ensuring the habitability of our planet. The author takes the gamble that learning about the history of forests will enable us to meet contemporary environmental challenges.

La peur souleve un paradoxe : elle peut soit pousser � agir et soit inhiber l'action. Par exemple, les travaux sur la collapsologie suscitent de tres grandes peurs. Gr�ce � ces alertes, certaines personnes ont pu changer de vie et trouve du sens, d'autres, au contraire, se sont sentis desesperes. Dans ce livre, nous resolvons ce paradoxe et balisons ainsi le chemin pour agir, � partir de la peur mais aussi de la joie. Pablo SERVIGNE & Nathan OBADIA. Ce cours enregistre par Pablo Servigne, collapsologue, et Nathan Obadia, Instructeur d'arts martiaux et therapeute, traite du r�le crucial de la peur dans nos vies. Peur de l'avenir, peur de l'echec ou du conflit, stress, eco anxiete, angoisse existentielle... la peur plane sur nos vies. Ils partent du constat que la peur, souvent percue comme paralysante ou negative, est en realite une source d'energie, de protection et de stimulation. Plut�t que de la fuir, les auteurs proposent de la transformer en alliee. Ils utilisent la metaphore du suricate, un petit animal constamment en alerte face aux dangers, pour illustrer notre systeme de detection des menaces. L'ouvrage explore le rapport � la peur � la fois au niveau individuel et collectif, soulignant que l'apprivoisement de nos peurs peut conduire � une societe plus apaisee et ouverte, plut�t qu'� une societe de contr�le et de securite excessive. en acceptant la peur, il devient possible de retrouver joie, liberte, et de repondre aux grands defis contemporains. Claude COLOMBINI FReMEAUX et Patrick FReMEAUX. This course, recorded by Pablo Servigne, collapsologist, and Nathan Obadia, martial arts instructor and therapist, deals with the crucial role of fear in our lives. Fear of the future, fear of failure or conflict, stress, eco-anxiety, existential angst... fear hangs over our lives. They start from the observation that fear, often perceived as paralysing or negative, is in fact a source of energy, protection and stimulation. Rather than running away from it, the authors suggest turning it into an ally. They use the metaphor of the meerkat, a small animal constantly on the alert for dangers, to illustrate our threat detection system. The book explores the relationship with fear at both individual and collective levels, emphasising that taming our fears can lead to a more peaceful and open society, rather than one of control and excessive security. By accepting fear, we can rediscover joy and freedom, and meet the major challenges of our time.

Le 19 avril 1980, une foule immense, silencieuse, accompagne le convoi funebre de Sartre jusqu'au cimetiere du Montparnasse, � Paris. Derriere Simone de Beauvoir, en tete de cortege, plus de cinquante mille personnes sont venues rendre un dernier hommage au penseur francais le plus celebre au monde.

Gabriel Martinez-Gros is Emeritus Professor of Medieval Islamic History at the University of Nanterre, a specialist in Umayyad ideology and a great connoisseur of the thought of Ibn Khald�n. The historian presents a history of Al-Andalus, i.e. Spain conquered by Muslim troops in the 8th century, during the Arab conquests, and then ruled by the Umayyad caliphs of Cordoba until the 11th century. The civil war (fitna in Arabic) between the Andalusian emirs and the Christian thrust of the Reconquista gradually brought an end to the Muslim presence in Spain. Gabriel Martinez-Gros delivers an account marked by a concern for restoring the ideologies of the various players included in a brilliantly traced economic, political, intellectual and social context. The historian reminds us that this history of Al Andalus is the subject of a historiographical debate, the contours of which he outlines. It is also a challenge for contemporary Spanish society, which is renewing it's view of it's past. Audiobook, in French.

R�meaux & Associ�s and the Grande Mosqu�e de Paris have joined forces to promote the history, philosophy, cultures and knowledge of the Muslim world. Can one be a scientist and a believer today? Answering this question in the affirmative seems to be a challenge in our time when science and religion maintain a conflictual relationship that began in modern times. Bruno Guiderdoni, an astrophysicist by profession, director of the Lyon Observatory and director of the Institut des Hautes �tudes Islamiques, takes up the challenge and proposes to engage in a peaceful dialogue between science and religion. To do this, he recalls the millenary interweaving of these two, particularly in the Arab-Muslim world where scholars such as Averroes and Algazel developed a non-contradictory relationship between the revealed truth of the Koran and scientific discoveries.

Frémeaux & Associés and the Grande Mosquée de Paris have joined forces to promote the history, philosophy, cultures and knowledge of the Muslim world. After the death of the Prophet in 632, the Islamic Empire intensified its conquests to extend to Central Asia and the Iberian Peninsula. In less than a century, the Umayyad dynasty created an immense empire based on a caliphate. Then dynasties followed, with the Abbasids taking control, followed by the Fatimids. It is in the crucible of the relationship between the Arab conquerors on the one hand and the conquered on the other that not only an empire but also a civilization and a new religion were gradually developed. Gabriel Martinez Gros retraces the history of this empire, which lasted until the 16th century and from which a great civilization was born, on the scientific, philosophical as on the artistic and literary level.

In clear language Youssef Seddik tells us how the Koran was constituted, how it spread in the world, what are the main readings and the different obediences to which they gave rise. This historical and scientific analysis offers Muslims and non-Muslims an essential key to understanding the history of civilizations.

Fr�meaux & Associ�s and La Grande Mosqu�e de Paris (the Great Mosque of Paris) have joined forces to promote the history, philosophy, cultures and knowledge of the Muslim world. From the end of the 8th century onwards, an original and powerful civilization, supported by a new religion, Islam, began to assert itself within the framework of an immense geopolitical and economic space that extended over three continents. The birth of a spirit of discovery and conquest favored the translation of texts inherited from the Greeks, Indians and Persians; and this phenomenon of widespread appropriation of ancient knowledge allowed the development and expansion of the sciences, from astronomy, mathematics, medicine, architecture, mechanics, history and geography... Professor Ahmed Djebbar, mathematician and historian of science, presents here a panorama of scientific activities in Islamic countries from the 8th to the 15th century, followed by the biographies of twenty-four men of science from this civilization.

Claude COLOMBINI FReMEAUX Presses Universitaires de France and Fremeaux & Associes offer this biography of Leonardo da Vinci, analyzed and explained by Pascal Brioist, Professor of Modern History at the University of Tours and member of the Centre d'etudes superieures de la Renaissance. Leonardo da Vinci is one of the most emblematic figures of the Renaissance. An illegitimate son deprived of a university education, his self-taught approach in many fields guarantees the originality of this universal mind who was much more than the author of the Mona Lisa or the inventor of flying machines. He was also a renowned anatomist, engineer, philosopher, architect and inventor. His ability to excel in a variety of fields demonstrates an inquisitive mind that transcended the conventions of his time, questioning certainties and recognizing no authority other than that of experience. Pascal Brioist presents the career of this extraordinary man, set against the political, cultural and scientific backdrop of the Italian Renaissance. Leonardo da Vinci's legacy goes far beyond his works, and his innovative vision has influenced generations of scientists, artists and thinkers.
