$42.99 Nov 01, 2007

Down a Path of Wonder: Memoirs of Stravinsky, Schoenberg and Other Cultural Figures Hardcover - Robert Craft met Stravinsky by invitation in 1948, after nearly four years of letter correspondence with the composer. It was this close association that steered Craft into a stimulating world of leading composers, writers and artists. At virtually the same time that he became a member of the Stravinsky household, Craft, aged twenty-four, discovered the 'path of wonder' created by Arnold Schoenberg. In 1950, the young conductor sought instruction from Schoenberg in the performance of his music, and maintained a friendship with him that became increasingly cordial until the week of the composer's death a year later. 'Remembering Schoenberg', the first chapter of "Down a Path of Wonder", charts with charm the development of this mutual understanding and friendship. Craft's musical observations are pertinent and witty, and it is music that underpins this collection of memoirs. However, his descriptions of Stravinsky's collaborator-friends, such as George Balanchine, T.S. Eliot, W.H. Auden, Aldous Huxley and other Makers of the Twentieth Century, also provide a fascinating contribution to the intellectual and cultural history of our era. Craft's travel diaries, forming the final part of this book, focus on Italy, Seville and Cambodia; they are similarly insightful, colorful and edifying. "Down a Path of Wonder" is a unique and truly compelling perspective on the post-Second World War artistic world - and beyond.

La peur souleve un paradoxe : elle peut soit pousser à agir et soit inhiber l'action. Par exemple, les travaux sur la collapsologie suscitent de tres grandes peurs. Grâce à 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, à 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 rôle 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. Plutôt 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 à la peur à la fois au niveau individuel et collectif, soulignant que l'apprivoisement de nos peurs peut conduire à une societe plus apaisee et ouverte, plutôt qu'à une societe de contrôle 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.

Les Presses Universitaires de France et Fremeaux & Associes proposent cette biographie de Christine de Pizan, analysee et expliquee par Claude Gauvard, professeure emerite d'Histoire du Moyen age. L'historienne medieviste Claude Gauvard nous invite a decouvrir Christine de Pizan, une figure meconnue mais essentielle de la France medievale. Ecrivaine novatrice des XIVe et XVe siecles, elle s'impose comme l'une des premieres femmes de lettres professionnelles, excellant dans l'ecriture poetique, l'analyse politique et la polemique. a travers son oeuvre foisonnante, ecrite en langue vernaculaire, Christine de Pizan defend avec force la place des femmes dans la societe. Premiere voix engagee dans la celebre querelle du Roman de la Rose, elle milite pour leur education et ose remettre en question les normes de son epoque. Conseillere des princes, elle s'adresse meme aux chevaliers pour leur enseigner l'art de la guerre. Claude Gauvard nous met en garde contre tout anachronisme : Christine de Pizan ne peut etre qualifiee de « feministe » au sens moderne du terme. Mais son audace et sa vision en font une figure resolument inspirante, don't l'heritage resonne encore aujourd'hui. Claude COLOMBINI FReMEAUX Presses Universitaires de France and Fremeaux & Associes offer this biography of Christine de Pizan, analyzed and explained by Claude Gauvard, Emeritus Professor of Medieval History. Medieval historian Claude Gauvard invites us to discover Christine de Pizan, a little-known but essential figure in medieval France. An innovative writer of the 14th and 15th centuries, she established herself as one of the first professional women of letters, excelling in poetic writing, political analysis and polemic. Through her abundant works, written in the vernacular, Christine de Pizan forcefully defended the place of women in society. She was the first to take part in the famous Roman de la Rose quarrel, campaigning for women's education and daring to challenge the norms of her time. An advisor to princes, she even addressed knights to teach them the art of war. Claude Gauvard warns against anachronism: Christine de Pizan cannot be described as a "feminist" in the modern sense of the term. But her audacity and vision make her a resolutely inspiring figure, whose legacy still resonates today. Audiobook.

Great Victorians / Benjamin Soames (unabridged) [2 CDs]

Naxos AudioBooks

$19.98 Jul 13, 2018

The Victorian era was a time of great change and rapid progress. Britain was undergoing the most tremendous development. Scientific discoveries had prompted the Industrial Revolution, which made Britain the world leader in iron and steel production. Science was undergoing a revolution, enabled by the groundbreaking work of Michael Faraday, who led the Royal Institution. Great swathes of Central Africa were mapped by the explorer David Livingstone and the understanding of humankind's place in the world was being redefined by the theories of the great naturalist Charles Darwin. Brunel's steam-driven ships were connecting continents and Florence Nightingale's work in hospitals helped lay the foundations for modern nursing. In literature, Charles Dickens put the lives of ordinary men and women at the centre of great novels for the first time, and in politics Britain was completely transformed by the reforms of William Gladstone. Written exclusively for Naxos AudioBooks, Great Victorians captures a fascinating period in world history.
