Breton, Eluard, Aragon, Cocteau, Picasso, Chanel, Abel Gance, Anaïs Nin, Colette, Diego Rivera, Lacan, Desnos, Van Gogh, Sartre et Beauvoir, plus tard Jim Morrison et Patti Smith…
Ces noms jalonnent la trajectoire d’Antonin Artaud, comète colérique qui a irrigué l’avant-garde artistique et littéraire de l’entre-deux-guerres et irrigue encore notre époque.
Par-delà le cliché de l’aliéné, du mythe du poète fou auteur d’une oeuvre monumentale, cette biographie s’attache à souligner le caractère novateur, toujours d’actualité, de son message : Artaud a imaginé le cinéma en relief, oeuvré à un profond renouvellement de l’art théâtral, rejeté le colonialisme européen, remis en cause les idéologies mortifères du XXe siècle, dénoncé le capitalisme et ses impératifs productivistes, esquissé l’altermondialisme.
Après neuf ans d’internement, il est aussi celui qui a fait vaciller la psychiatrie, ses catégories et sa thérapeutique des électrochocs. Plus que jamais, dans notre époque incertaine, Antonin Artaud est une voix à faire entendre. Une biographie à lire comme un roman.
Né en 1970, Laurent Vignat poursuit des études de lettres à la Sorbonne et devient professeur de français. Il publie son premier roman en 2006, après quelques textes épars publiés dans des revues.
Sur des carnets, il saisit les bizarreries d’une société qu’il juge de plus en plus folle, ses contemporains, des sourires, des tics de langage et des bribes de vie qui deviennent, à force de travail et d’obstination, des histoires.
Quand il n’écrit pas, il fait la classe ; il pédale en côte chalonnaise ; il lit ; il observe ; il regarde ses enfants grandir ; il écoute son épouse ; il suit les doigts graciles de son fils lorsqu’ils filent une impro sur le piano du salon ; il prépare un osso bucco, il s’endort avec Bach ou Jarrett dans les oreilles…

Mels herinnert zich het gesprek op het kerkhof als de dag van gisteren.
Nog geen twee dagen later vonden ze grootvader Bernhard dood in zijn stoel. Met de kat op schoot, die misschien niet eens wist dat hij dood was of dat misschien niet wilde weten.
Hij was zo maar ingeslapen, nog geen uur nadat Mels’ moeder bij hem op bezoek was geweest en zijn bed had opgemaakt met schone lakens.
Misschien vond hij het bed te schoon en te wit om erin te sterven en was hij liever in zijn onopgemaakte holletje doodgegaan.
Grootvader Rudolf heeft hem twintig jaar overleefd. Die is bijna honderd geworden. Hij heeft Bernhard zo lang overleefd dat hij zelfs vergeten was dat hij zijn hele leven ruzie met hem had gemaakt. Toen hij stokoud was, sprak hij alleen nog maar over zijn jeugd, over toen hij en Bernhard nog vrienden waren en alles samen deden en voor eeuwig vrienden wilden zijn. De ouderdom zette in het hoofd van grootvader Rudolf alles op zijn kop.
In het jaar dat hij stierf, was zijn lijf net zo uitgewoond als het grijze kostuum dat hij dertig jaar had gedragen en dat hij nooit meer had willen vervangen, maar in zijn hoofd was hij een jongeman van achttien die de hele wereld aankon. Alles wat er na zijn achttiende gebeurd was, was hij vergeten. De nette man was allang dood. Hij riep naar de meiden op straat en was lastig voor de verpleegsters die hem kwamen wassen en aankleden. Na een lang keurig leven bewees hij in zijn dementie dat hij geen haar was veranderd.

It’s 1944 and sixteen-year-old ballerina and gymnast Edith Eger is sent to Auschwitz.
Separated from her parents on arrival, she endures unimaginable experiences, including being made to dance for the infamous Josef Mengele. When the camp is finally liberated, she is pulled from a pile of bodies, barely alive.
The horrors of the Holocaust didn’t break Edith. In fact, they helped her learn to live again with a life-affirming strength and a truly remarkable resilience. The Choice is her unforgettable story.
“Edith’s strength and courage are remarkable…her life and work are an incredible example of forgiveness, resilience, and generosity.”— Sheryl Sandberg
Edith Eva Eger
An eminent psychologist and one of the few remaining Holocaust survivors old enough to remember life in the camps, Dr. Edith Eger has worked with veterans, military personnel, and victims of physical and mental trauma. She lives in La Jolla. The Choice is her first book.
“One of those rare and eternal stories that you don’t want to end and that leave you forever changed.” — Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate

Theodor Fontane ist der große Dichter des alten Preußen – und er war zugleich ein zutiefst moderner Charakter. Hans-Dieter Rutsch entdeckt diesen Fontane neu.
Er erzählt sein Leben und erkundet seine Welt, seine Orte in ihrer historischen Dimension wie in ihrer Gegenwart. In Neuruppin, Fontanes Kindheitsstadt, steht noch die Apotheke, die der Vater durch Spielschulden verlor. Auch der Sohn wurde Apotheker, begann zu schreiben und wurde politisch.
In der Revolution 1848 kämpfe Fontane auf den Berliner Barrikaden, und mit dreißig entschloss er sich zu einem Leben als freier Schriftsteller. Seine Wege führten ihn als Kriegsberichterstatter nach Paris, wo er als Spion verhaftet wurde, nach London, wo der die Nachtseiten der Industrialisierung sah; da ist aber auch das Sehnsuchtsland Schlesien; und immer wieder Brandenburg, wo der Romancier das Menschliche studierte.
Für Fontane waren diese Reisen literarisch-journalistischer Auftrag, seine Familie ließ er oft in prekären Bedingungen zurück. Dieses Buch entdeckt einen hellsichtigen, in seiner Zeit neuartigen Dichter, der rastlos das frühmoderne Deutschland beschrieb und darin auch unsere Gegenwart, der sich schon damals nach Entschleunigung, Schlichtheit sehnte – einen doppelten Fontane, der unser Zeitgenosse ist.
Hans-Dieter Rutsch, geboren 1954, arbeitete als Dramaturg, Autor und Regisseur beim DEFA Studio für Dokumentarfilme in Babelsberg. 1995 begründete er die Havel-Film Babelsberg. Er realisierte über fünfzig Dokumentationen, Features und Reportagen vor allem zu Themen der ostdeutschen und osteuropäischen Zeitgeschichte. 2012 erschien sein Buch «Die letzten Deutschen. Schicksale aus Schlesien und Ostpreußen».
“Von unseren großen Schriftstellern ist er der unterhaltsamste und von unseren unterhaltsamsten der intelligenteste.” Marcel Reich-Ranicki über Theodor Fontane

Het land van herkomst van haar familie – Algerije – was voor Naïma lange tijd een gegeven zonder veel belang.
Maar in een tijd waarin identiteitskwesties elk debat domineren lijkt alles haar op haar wortels te willen wijzen. Hoe kan ze een band hebben met een familiegeschiedenis die haar nooit verteld is?
Haar grootvader, een Berber uit de bergen, was al overleden voordat ze hem had kunnen vragen waarom de geschiedenis hem tot een harki (een collaborateur van de Fransen tijdens de Algerijnse Oorlog) had bestempeld.
Sinds haar vader in 1962 in een Frans doorgangskamp arriveerde spreekt hij niet meer over het land van zijn kindertijd. Hoe wek je een doodgezwegen land tot leven? Alice Zeniter doet het in een even vrijgevochten als gedurfd, hartveroverend epos van een familie die generaties lang de gevangene is van een onwrikbaar verleden.
Een grootse grootse roman over de last van een ongekende erfenis.

Dulce et Decorum Est
Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs,
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots,
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of gas-shells dropping softly behind.
Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumbling
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time,
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime.—
Dim through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.
In all my dreams before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.
If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,—
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.

Was one who certainly was one really being living, was this one a complete one, did that one completely have it to do very well something that that one certainly would be doing if that one could be doing something.
Yes that one was in a way a complete one, certainly he was one completely listening. Was that one one completely listening, was that one completely listening and certainly it was a pleasant thing if this one was one completely listening and certainly this one was completely listening and certainly it was a pleasant thing having this one listening and certainly if this one were one being one really completely listening it would then certainly be a completely pleasant thing.
Was this one a complete one? Certainly this one was one being living. This one was one certainly going to be quite beautifully doing something if this one really did this thing and certainly this one would be sometime doing this completely beautiful thing if this one is really a complete one.
This one certainly is not one who is weakening, who is not continuing well in working. This one certainly is not at all a weak one, that is certain. This one is certainly feeling, in being one being living. This one is certainly an honest one and it is certainly a pleasant thing to have this one listening. Certainly this one does not do very much talking. Certainly this one is liking very well to be knowing what any one doing anything is doing, in what way any one doing anything is doing that thing. This one is one certainly loving, doing a good deal of loving, certainly this one has been completely excited by such a thing, certainly this one had been completely dreaming about such a thing. Certainly this one is one who would be very pleasant to very many in loving.
This one is perhaps one who is perhaps to be sometime a complete one. This one is perhaps one who is perhaps not to be ever a complete one. This one certainly was often listening and this was then certainly a very pleasant thing. This one was perhaps one completely listening, certainly this one was one who was listening and it was then a very pleasant thing, certainly if this one were one completely listening it would be then a completely pleasant thing.
This one certainly would be doing a very beautiful thing if this one did do that beautiful thing. This one would certainly be steadily working to be doing that beautiful thing. This one would certainly not be slackening, not be stopping going on working, not be weakening in working, in making that beautiful thing. This one would be making that beautiful thing. If this one were making that beautiful thing it would be a very satisfying thing. This one would certainly be one completely making a beautiful thing if this one did make a beautiful thing. This one was not a weak man, this man was not an unsteady man, this man was not an aspiring man, this man was one certainly going to be making a beautiful thing if he did make a beautiful thing. This one certainly was listening and this was a very pleasant thing, this one was certainly one going to be doing a beautiful thing if this one is one who is a complete one.
This one is certainly one to be doing a beautiful thing if this one is going to be doing that thing. It is not disturbing to be wondering about this one going to be doing the beautiful thing, not really disturbing to that one, not really disturbing to any one. This one is steadily working. This one is listening and that is a pleasant thing. If this one were complete in listening that would be a completely pleasant thing. This one certainly is one steadily working to be doing a beautiful thing, this one certainly will be doing a beautiful thing if this one does that beautiful thing. This one is very nearly completely needing to be knowing what any one is doing who is doing something, how any one who is doing something is doing that thing. Certainly if this one is one really completely listening and certainly perhaps this one is one completely listening then that is a completely pleasant thing.

Kafka’s Other Prague: Writings from the Czechoslovak Republic examines Kafka’s late writings from the perspective of the author’s changing relationship with Czech language, culture, and literature—the least understood facet of his meticulously researched life and work.
Franz Kafka was born in Prague, a bilingual city in the Habsburg Empire. He died a citizen of Czechoslovakia. Yet Kafka was not Czech in any way he himself would have understood. He could speak Czech, but, like many Prague Jews, he was raised and educated and wrote in German. Kafka critics to date have had little to say about the majority language of his native city or its “minor literature,” as he referred to it in a 1913 journal entry. Kafka’s Other Prague explains why Kafka’s later experience of Czech language and culture matters.
Bringing to light newly available archival material, Anne Jamison’s innovative study demonstrates how Czechoslovakia’s founding and Kafka’s own dramatic political, professional, and personal upheavals altered his relationship to this “other Prague.” It destabilized Kafka’s understanding of nationality, language, gender, and sex—and how all these issues related to his own writing.
Kafka’s Other Prague juxtaposes Kafka’s German-language work with Czechoslovak Prague’s language politics, intellectual currents, and print culture—including the influence of his lover and translator, the journalist Milena Jesenská—and shows how this changed cultural and linguistic landscape transformed one of the great literary minds of the last century.
Anne Jamison is an associate professor of English at the University of Utah.

Hannah Sullivan‘s debut collection is a revelation – three long poems of fresh ambition, intensity and substance.
Though each poem stands apart, their inventive and looping encounters make for a compelling unity. ‘You, Very Young in New York’ captures a great American city, in all its alluring detail.
It is a wry and tender study of romantic possibility, disappointment, and the obduracy of innocence. ‘Repeat until Time’ begins with a move to California and unfolds into an essay on repetition and returning home, at once personal and philosophical. ‘The Sandpit after Rain’ explores the birth of a child and the loss of a father with exacting clarity.
In Three Poems, readers will experience Sullivan’s work with the same exhilaration as they might the great modernising poems of Eliot and Pound, but with the unique perspective of a brilliant new female voice.
Hannah Sullivan lives in London with her husband and two sons and is an Associate Professor of English at New College, Oxford. She received her PhD from Harvard in 2008 and taught in California for four years. Her study of modernist writing, The Work of Revision, was published in 2013 and awarded the Rose Mary Crawshay Prize by the British Academy.
