À la fois récit d'aventures et roman anthropologique, "Colombá" nous conte dans un style dépouillé et direct, l'histoire d'une vendetta, dont le principal protagoniste est assurément l'île de Beauté, ses mœurs, ses pierres, ses paysages. Le lieu d'action est peu à peu transfiguré en continent des origines, en siège archétypal de la "pure nature" de l'homme.

Broadcasting veteran John Rayburn presents a historic reenactment of the classic 1956 World Series championship games between the New York Yankees and Brooklyn Dodgers. Don Larsen’s perfect game, the only in World Series history, was in Game 5, Monday, October 8, 1956. This was the final Series for the Dodgers while still in Brooklyn. Their next Series appearance came after moving to Los Angeles. The Dodgers scored only one run in the final 28 innings of the Series. Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra each hit three home runs for the Yankees.

Le pagine di La sublime pazzia della rivolta sono un esempio di grande reportage giornalistico. Montanelli, che nel 1956 ha raccontato da inviato del "Corriere della Sera" l'invasione sovietica ai danni dell'Ungheria, fu tra i più spietati osservatori della violenza dell'aggressione russa e della coraggiosa resistenza dei cittadini di Budapest. Pagine che ricordano da vicino quanto vediamo oggi in atto in Ucraina, quasi a creare un parallelo, a distanza di quasi settant'anni, tra la brutalità della guerra fredda e quella dei conflitti attuali.

Max Born war einer jener Physiker, die den Aufbruch und die Umwälzung ihres Fachs in den zwanziger Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts geprägt haben. Die Ambivalenz dieser Phase spiegelt sich in jenem Dutzend herausragender Wissenschaftler wieder, die er als Lehrer betreut hat: Zusammen mit Werner Heisenberg und Pascual Jordan gab er der Physik mit der Quantenmechanik und ihrer statistischen Deutung ein neues Gesicht, in Robert Oppenheimer und Edward Teller gingen die Konstrukteure der Atom- und der Wasserstoffbombe aus der Göttinger Schule hervor.

Awarded the Newbery HonorWhen a novel like Huckleberry Finn, or The Yearling, comes along it defies customary adjectives because of the intensity of the respouse it evokes in the reader. Such a book, we submit, is Old Yeller; to read this eloquently simple story of a boy and his dog in the...

"La legende de Saint Julien l'Hospitalier" est avant tout un conte, conçu pour le plaisir d'être dit et entendu ; un récit dans lequel le héros parvient, à travers une série d'épreuves, à un but qui semblait inaccessible. Gustave Flaubert rédige cette "petite bêtise moyenâgeuse" en1875. Il y a, chez Flaubert, l'ambition de donner à son écriture le poids des choses : son texte doit rendre leur vérité. Pour l'atteindre, il recherche l'expression absolue, d'où sa réputation de besogneux : "Ce souci de la beauté extérieure que vous me reprochez est pour moi une méthode. Quand je découvre une mauvaise assonance ou une répétition dans une de mes phrases, je suis sûr que je patauge dans le faux. À force de chercher, je trouve l'expression juste, qui était la seule et qui est, en même temps, l'harmonieuse".

This is a diverse collection of essays by English writer Max Beerbohm, whose circle included such notables as Oscar Wilde, George Bernard Shaw, Ezra Pound, and Somerset Maugham. Much of Beerbohm's work was humorous, including parodies of various aspects of the upper class life into which he was born.Some of these pieces are humorous, some philosophical, and some even sad. They include, for instance: a frankly self-critical piece on the pomposity and self-importance of his early literary ambitions; a half-eager, half-repining essay on a missing and uncompleted portrait of the great German ...

Le 31 août 1934, quatre jeunes savants - avec à leur tête le jeune Paul-Émile Victor - s'installent pour l'hiver à Tassiussak, minuscule bourgade qui sert de "capitale" aux Ammassalimiout, le peuple qu'ils ont décidé de rencontrer au Groenland. Grâce à sa liaison avec Doumidia, une jeune Esquimaude, Paul-Émile Victor apprend très vite la langue inuit et se fait raconter les histoires autochtones. Nourri de cette culture et marqué par le traumatisme constitutif de l'histoire des esquimaux que sont les grandes famines de 1882-1883, il collecte les récits qui composent "La Grande Faim" en hommage au peuple qu'il fut le premier et le seul à si bien connaître.
