        Céleste - »Gewiss, Monsieur Proust«

        Die Erinnerungen von Prousts Haushälterin als Graphic Novel

        by Chloé Cruchaudet

        Im Jahr 1914 ist Céleste Albaret 23 Jahre alt, sie stammt aus der französischen Provinz und ihr Mann ist Taxifahrer in Paris. Einer seiner Stammkunden ist der Schriftsteller Marcel Proust. Céleste kann nicht kochen und erst recht keinen Haushalt führen, nie hätte sie sich träumen lassen, für Proust zu arbeiten. Und doch kommt es so - und eine folgenreiche Beziehung nimmt ihren Lauf. Céleste wird bald unentbehrlich für Proust. Sie bewundert und bemuttert ihn, erträgt seine Spleens, bereitet seinen Milchkaffee zu, vertröstet Besucher und erfindet schließlich die berühmten »Paperolles« für seine überbordenden Korrekturen in den Druckfahnen seines siebenbändigen Lebenswerks À la recherche du temps perdu. Bis zu seinem Tod 1923 bleibt sie an seiner Seite.Die vielfach ausgezeichnete französische Zeichnerin Chloë Cruchaudet erweist mit ihrer Graphic Novel zwei außergewöhnlichen, gegensätzlichen Persönlichkeiten Hommage. In ihrem einzigartigen Stil, zärtlich, witzig, originell, lässt sie zentrale Episoden dieser berühmt gewordenen Beziehung Revue passieren. Ihre feine Ironie bei aller Proust-Verehrung tut gut. Und mit leichter Hand entsteht nebenbei ein farbiges Porträt der Pariser Belle Époque.

        Leonora Carrington and the international avant-garde

        by Jonathan P. Eburne, Catriona McAra

        Leonora Carrington (1917-2011) was an English surrealist artist and writer who emigrated to Mexico after the Second World War. This volume approaches Carrington as a major international figure in modern and contemporary art, literature and thought. It offers an interdisciplinary exploration of the intellectual, literary and artistic currents that animate her contribution to experimental art movements throughout the Western Hemisphere, including surrealism and magical realism. The book contains nine chapters from scholars of modern literature and art, each focusing on a major feature in Carrington's career. It also features a visual essay drawn from the 2015 Tate Liverpool exhibition Leonora Carrington: Transgressing Discipline, and two experimental essays by the novelist Chloe Aridjis and the scholar Gabriel Weisz, Carrington's son. This collection offers a resource for students, researchers and readers interested in Carrington's works.

        Thomas Nashe and literary performance

        by Chloe Kathleen Preedy, Rachel Willie

        As an instigator of debate and a defender of tradition, a man of letters and a popular hack, a writer of erotica and a spokesman for bishops, an urbane metropolitan and a celebrant of local custom, the various textual performances of Thomas Nashe have elicited, and continue to provoke, a range of contradictory reactions. Nashe's often incongruous authorial characteristics suggest that, as a 'King of Pages', he not only courted controversy but also deliberately cultivated a variety of public personae, acquiring a reputation more slippery than the herrings he celebrated in print. Collectively, the essays in this book illustrate how Nashe excelled at textual performance but his personae became a contested site as readers actively participated and engaged in the reception of Nashe's public image and his works.

        Terra (4). Afterglow

        by Jennifer Alice Jager

        Humankind’s battle against Nature is entering its decisive stage. Once more the explosive showdown of the apocalyptic TERRA series keeps the reader in breathless suspense. Humanity appears to be on the brink of destruction. Vast areas of land have been wiped off the face of the Earth, vegetation has reconquered its living space, but Terra Mater has by no means finished with the human bacillus. The hate-filled spirit of Nature that is claiming Younes’ body for itself, and wants to see all humans destroyed, gives him undreamt-of powers, but it also threatens to set him, his little sister and Chloe against one another. But there is even more at stake: if Younes and the other children from his visions (he had dreams about the other kids) do not stop Terra Mater soon from fulfilling her plans, every single human being will disappear from the planet. In order to prevent that from happening, they must come face to face with raging Mother Earth, and must not only conquer their fear but must also look Death in the eye.
