        Vivien Leigh

        Actress and icon

        by Kate Dorney, Maggie B. Gale

        This edited volume provides new readings of the life and career of iconic actress Vivien Leigh (1913-67), written by experts from theatre and film studies and curators from the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. The collection uses newly accessible family archives to explore the intensely complex relationship between Vivien Leigh's approach to the craft of acting for stage and screen, and how she shaped, developed and projected her public persona as one of the most talked about and photographed actresses of her era. With key contributors from the UK, France and the US, chapters range from analyses of her work on stage and screen to her collaborations with designers and photographers, an analysis of her fan base, her interior designs and the 'public ownership' of Leigh's celebrity status during her lifetime and beyond.

        Political History of the 19th century

        by Nicolas Delalande, Blaise Truong-Loï

        It would be wrong to consider the 19th century as distant or over. In many aspects, such as the intense politicization of European societies, the diversity of mobilization and protest practices, ideological and cultural inventiveness, and critical reflection on modernity and progress, this period is a laboratory rich in experience and lessons. Restoring the great political dynamics and tensions that run through it allows us not only to better understand the forms of historical change, but also to find one's bearings in an uncertain present. By placing the imperial expansion of Europe in the context of the globalization of the time and its interactions with America, Africa and Asia, Nicolas Delalande and Blaise Truong-Loï propose a history of the 19th century that is neither homogeneous nor self-centered, but profoundly renewed by the contributions of the most recent research in history and social sciences.

        Not What Should Be But What Is

        by Swâmi Prajnânpad & Arnaud Desjardins

        This book is the first English-language translation of the collected core-teachings of the Indian sage Swami Prajnanpad (1891-1974). It captures the raw confrontive rhetoric of a brilliant philosopher, scholar and psychologist. Prajnanpad, unknown to most of the West, is revealed in these pages as the hidden spiritual genius that he was. Throughout the time of his apprenticeship to Swamji, as he was commonly called, his disciple Arnaud Desjardins kept copious notes of his teacher’s recommendations (Les Formulaes). They included such pithy sentiments as the title suggests, along with many others of enigmatic and quotable worth, such as “Never believe a thought associated with an emotion.” The commentaries on these pith instructions, in the words and expanded explanations of Desjardins, become a handbook of guidance for the aspirant on this path of self-knowledge. Seekers of any tradition will find here a way grounded in reality and applicable to life in the 21st century. Without such in-depth self-understanding, the author and commentator demonstrate, we will continue to remain trapped by the prisons of our own minds never reaching the full potential of our humanity.

        Still Not Better

        by Arnaud Le Guilcher

        After the success of his first two novels, Not So Good and Not Better, Arnaud Le Guilcher returns to his disenchanted hero, a magnificent loser, in this hilarious and surreal poetic comedy that questions blood ties and our connection to the world.   Our (anti-)hero is a Frenchman exiled in the middle of nowhere in the US. Right after his wife leaves him, taking with her their two-year-old daughter but leaving behind their teenage goth hacker son, he gets a call from a notary. His grandfather, who he thought was already dead, has actually just hit the hay and a mysterious inheritance awaits him in the French alps.Accompanied by his best friend and his Satanist son, he makes his way to Saint Colombard des Izands, a picturesque village nestled at the foot of the Savoy mountains. There, he will discover that the contents of his inheritance smell like forgotten goat cheese: he is now the head of “Cabri au Lait,” a cheese production company on the edge of collapse. Nothing has been going well since wolves in the area decimated all the local sheep. The notary also tells him about his grandfather’s past. Completely unbeknownst to our hero, his grandpa was a former Nazi collaborator who took refuge in South America, then founded the cheese company on his return to France. And in his fascist grandpa’s gloomy alpine manor, among all the Inca statues, dictator get-ups, and bottled vintages, he finds an incredible strongroom full of video surveillance screens. Between 2 or 3 sheep sabotages and a few confrontations with enraged wolves, our hero finds himself with an unexpected chance at finding his wife and daughter. Joined by his transvestite half-brother, devastated by the absence of his wife and daughter, mortified by the revelations of his family tree, always followed closely by the strong desire to drink, but full of the best intentions in the world, will our fortuitous adopted Yankee change things for the better? Certainly. Because as Nietzsche could well have said at a dinner party, “When absurdity doesn’t kill you, it makes you stronger."
