HumourJune 2016Zog & Mob (Cartoon)
Curiosity
by Patrice Mballa Asse
Zog and Mob are two extraterrestrials who happily sail through space, awful unattached jojos, not at all entangled by family, school and society. They travel from planet to planet, looking for a football match, a pint of beer, a disco or a treasure. Their adventures are not always in the best of taste and they often start a fight, even if they don't always look for one, but they always get out of it by trickery or escape. It's completely crazy and full of energy.

The ArtsJanuary 2019Patrice Leconte
by Lisa Downing
Lisa Downing's comprehensive study of the films of Patrice Leconte traces lines of continuity and revision through a body of apparently disparate films whose "messages" often appear both contradictory and controversial. Pursuing a close reading of the recurrent themes, styles, intertexts and techniques which structure Leconte's filmmaking, Downing re-evaluates Leconte's status as an enigmatic artist offering complex and paradoxical commentary on contemporary questions of sexuality, ethics and identity. This book is the first full-length critical work in English on Leconte's cinema. It provides essential reading for both enthusiasts of French cinema and for those fascinated by the relationship between popular culture and theory.

October 2017Bonaparte
1769-1802
by Patrice Gueniffey
An Biographien über Napoléon herrscht kein Mangel. Die neue umfangreiche Schilderung seines Lebens von Patrice Gueniffey unterscheidet sich fundamental von den bisherigen Darstellungen. Sie rückt Bonaparte in den Zusammenhang der Moderne. Für Gueniffey ist diese historische Gestalt beispielhaft für die Neuzeit: Er repräsentiert jenen Typus, der seiner Meinung nach selbst die widrigsten Umstände bezwingen kann, vorausgesetzt, er hat die entsprechende Begabung, Energie und Tatkraft. Diese Vorstellung des modernen Menschen ist, wie diese Biographie für Bonaparte belegt, mit den historischen Gegebenheiten nicht vereinbar: Sie deckt hinter den Intention von Bonaparte die Selbstlogik unabhängiger Prozesse wie die Initiierung solcher angeblich historischen Abläufe die Spuren subjektiven Handelns auf.Bonaparte zeigte sich in relativ kurzer Zeit in vielen, voneinander abweichenden, Rollen: er war unter anderem korsischer Patriot, (während der Französischen Revolution) Verfechter des Jakobinismus, Thermidorianer, ein »Feldherr«, er war Diplomat, Schöpfer eines neuen Rechts, republikanischer Diktator, Begründer einer Erbmonarchie: Die vorliegende Biographie widmet sich in aller Ausführlichkeit und Genauigkeit diesen Positionen: von der des jungen Napoléon bis zur Selbstermächtigung als Konsul auf Lebenszeit im Jahre 1802. Damit macht Patrice Gueniffey, verständlich, unterhaltsam, anhand neuer Forschungsergebnisse und überraschender Einblicke und Synthesen, nachvollziehbar, warum Bonaparte zu Napoléon wurde.

January 2020John James Audubon, Updated Edition
by Patrice Sherman
Artist, writer, naturalist, and frontiersman John James Audubon explored America's wilderness during the early 19th century, observing and recording the wonders he found there. From the Kentucky frontier to the Mississippi bayou to the icy coast of Labrador, he took his sketchbook and journal with him wherever he went. His collected paintings, Birds of America, became one of the nation's greatest works of art and natural history. His journals document an era when America's forests still teemed with ivory-billed woodpeckers, Carolina parrots, passenger pigeons, and other species now extinct. Audubon was the first to sound the alarm over the destruction of the wilderness. Today, the Audubon Society, founded in his name, serves as his legacy, educating people about the value of biological diversity throughout the world. Readers will explore the illustrated world of John James Audubon in this colorful eBook.

April 2006Cioran, der Ketzer
by Patrice Bollon, Ferdinand Leopold
Um Ciorans facettenreich geschliffenes, unruhig funkelndes Aphorismenwerk ist es still geworden. Spätestens seit dem Tod des Autors vor zehn Jahren, am 20. Juni 1995, droht die Auseinandersetzung mit den antisemitischen und hitlerfreundlichen äußerungen des jungen Cioran die mit dem Werk zu überschatten.Patrice Bollons biographischer Essay über den »Ketzer« setzt an genau diesem Punkt ein. Statt Ciorans Jugendblindheit abzudrängen, zeigt Bollon, in welcher kulturellen und politischen Landschaft die frühen Artikel sowie jene verhängnisvolle Schrift über die »Verklärung Rumäniens« entstanden und wie Cioran sich in einer lebenslangen Auseinandersetzung mit ebendiesem Irrtum von den »blutigen Possen« der Utopie und von jedem Glauben zu befreien suchte – und so zu dem wurde, der er schließlich war: ein Meister der Klarheit, der Eleganz und der Gelassenheit.Bollons fundiertes, fesselnd geschriebenes Porträt bietet die beste Einführung in Leben und Werk Ciorans, der, am 8. April 1911 im rumänischen Rasinari als Sohn eines Popen geboren, 1937 nach Paris übersiedelte. Anknüpfend an die Tradition der französischen Moralisten, verarbeitete er die eigenen überschwenglichen Anfänge und Abgründe und wurde zu einem der bedeutenden Schriftsteller und Stilisten der französischen Sprache.

March 2021Collector's Edition of Can Xue's Works: Huangni Street
by Can Xue
"Huang Ni Street" is Can Xue's debut novel. The work describes people on a street and many things on Huangni Street. Huangni Street is always dirty, even the rain is gray. Can Xue made a detailed description of this street, but this description is different from the description of ordinary writers, with a big jump in thinking and no consistent storyline. There are simple characters and simple stories. Can Xue's first novel constructed Can Xue's very significant writing characteristics later, and these rich images give readers a very special reading experience. Can Xue breaks the usual thinking and framework of traditional novels, and has the typical characteristics of Can Xue from the beginning.
