LE MUR, ETC. (French Edition)
by Hamutal Bar -Yosef
LE MUR, ETC. par Hamutal Bar-YosefLe mur est un recueil de dix-huit nouvelles merveilleusement écrites et dont certaines sont fondées sur des faits véridiques. Le célèbre écrivain israélien Amos Oz a qualifié ce recueil de « particulièrement puissant et émouvant »Hamutal Bar-Yosef a créé dans Le mur, etc. un récit composé de « tranches de vie » tragi-comique, quelquefois grotesque et qui décrit la condition humaine comme l’abîme béant qui sépare les désirs de la réalité. Elle y exprime une grande empathie et un respect considérable pour les personnages qu’elle décrit et elle pénètre leur monde intérieur avec une sensibilité stupéfiante.Hamutal Bar-Yosef est bien connue en Israël comme écrivain, poète, traductrice et universitaire. Elle est née dans un Kibboutz de parents qui ont perdu leur famille dans la Shoa. Son seul frère a été tué en 1948 pendant la guerre d’Indépendance d’Israël. À l’âge de vingt ans, l’auteur a épousé le dramaturge p Words Yosef Bar-Yosef dont elle a eu quatre enfants; l’un d’entre eux s’est suicidé à l’âge de seize ans. Elle a subvenu aux besoins de sa famille en travaillant comme professeur dans une école secondaire et, par la suite, en rédigeant des guides pédagogiques. L’auteur n’a soutenu sa thèse de doctorat qu’après l’âge de quarante ans, devenant alors professeur de littérature hébraïque à l’Université Ben-Gourion. Elle a écrit huit ouvrages d’érudition mais également quinze livres de poésie et ces derniers lui ont valu de nombreux prix prestigieux. Son recueil de nouvelles Le mur (intitulé à l'origine Musique) a remporté le prix ASI (Association des Ecrivains Israéliens).Le professeur Bar-Yosef a traduit des œuvres de poésie et des romans depuis l’anglais, le français et le russe.

March 2015Bécon-les-Bruyères
Eine Vorstadt
by Emmanuel Bove, Peter Handke, Peter Handke, M. Utrillo
1927, drei Jahre nach Meine Freunde (Bibliothek Suhrkamp 744) und zwei Jahre nach Armand (Bibliothek Suhrkamp 792), erschien Emmanuel Boves Schilderung des Pariser Vorortes Bécon-les-Bruyères – in der Beschreibung und Erfindung sich mischen. Dadurch erreicht Bove nicht nur die Vergegenwärtigung einer Vorstadt von Paris, sondern schafft ein Porträt der Vorstadt schlechthin. Dies gelingt ihm, wie Peter Handke bemerkt, dadurch, daß er den »Duktus der Geschichtsschreibung« nicht auf einen Helden, sondern auf einen Ort anwendet.

November 2022The Doors of the Poem
Tribute to Habib Tengour
by Sagawe Regina Keil, Hervé Sanson
The twenty-seven contributions gathered here and superbly illustrated by Hamid Tibouchi - critical studies and creative texts - pay tribute to a work that is at the forefront of Algerian and, more broadly, contemporary letters, but paradoxically still little-known. On the occasion of Habib Tengour's seventy-fifth birthday, this volume is intended to open up new avenues of research into this work, and provide a more accurate understanding of the issues at stake. Tributes from his peers - poets from all over the world - give the book an affective, carnal dimension, extending the researchers' analyses with unexpected echoes. “Tengour warns us: “Only those with the right intention enter the poem! LES PORTES DU POEME thus opens on one of the most important poetic voices of his generation (Prix Dante in 2016, Prix Benjamin Fondane in 2022, Prix Dante Alighieri in 2023, for his body of work).

Poème pour une petite fille à l’autre bout du monde (Poem for a little girl on the other side of the world)
by Dieulermesson Petit Frère
A statement on otherness, a song of love and sincerity, Poème pour une petite fille à l’autre bout du monde is an invitation into the intimate sphere of the poet. It is the figuration of the paternal real brought to its highest point. A father and a little girl meet somewhere, at the other end of a street or a railway station, to talk about friendship, life and their regrets, to take stock of all their failed acts and to give each other reasons to love each other, despite the distance, the disarray and the madness that can arise from absence.
