Why I am Not A Feminist - A Feminist Manirfesto
Outspoken critic Jessa Crispin delivers a searing rejection of contemporary feminism . . . and a bracing manifesto for revolution. Are you a feminist? Do you believe women are human beings and that they deserve to be treated as such? That women deserve all the same rights and liberties bestowed upon men? If so, then you are a feminist . . . or so the feminists keep insisting. But somewhere along the way, the movement for female liberation sacrificed meaning for acceptance, and left us with a banal, polite, ineffectual pose that barely challenges the status quo. In this bracing, fiercely intelligent manifesto, Jessa Crispin demands more. Why I Am Not A Feminist is a radical, fearless call for revolution. It accuses the feminist movement of obliviousness, irrelevance, and cowardice--and demands nothing less than the total dismantling of a system of oppression. Praise for Jessa Crispin, and The Dead Ladies Project "I'd follow Jessa Crispin to the ends of the earth." --Kathryn Davis, author of Duplex "Read with caution . . . Crispin is funny, sexy, self-lacerating, and politically attuned, with unique slants on literary criticism, travel writing, and female journeys. No one crosses genres, borders, and proprieties with more panache." --Laura Kipnis, author of Men: Notes from an Ongoing Investigation "Very, very funny. . . . The whole book is packed with delightfully offbeat prose . . . as raw as it is sophisticated, as quirky as it is intense." --The Chicago Tribune

The Last Man
The last man! I may well describe that solitary being's feelings, feeling myself as the last relic of a beloved race, my companions extinct before me.' Mary Shelley, Journal (May 1824). Best remembered as the author of Frankenstein, Mary Shelley wrote The Last Man eight years later, on returning to England from Italy after her husband's death. It is the twenty-first century, and England is a republic governed by a ruling elite, one of whom, Adrian, Earl of Windsor, has introduced a Cumbrian boy to the circle. This outsider, Lionel Verney, narrates the story, a tale of complicated, tragic love, and of the gradual extermination of the human race by plague. The Last Man also functions as an intriguing roman a clef, for the saintly Adrian is a monument to Percy Bysshe Shelley, and his friend Lord Raymond is a portrait of Byron. The novel offers a vision of the future that expresses a reaction against Romanticism, as Shelley demonstrates the failure of the imagination and of art to redeem her doomed characters.

Grammaire Expliquee du Francais Debutant
Une toute nouvelle grammaire de référence pour les élves et étudiants de français au niveau débutant ! La Grammaire expliquée du français pour débutants a été conçue en insistant sur la lisibilité". Elle utilise un minimum de métalangage mais, pour illustrer les explications grammaticales, elle propose de trs nombreux exemples pris dans la vie de tous les jours, des dessins permettant de visualiser tel ou tel fait grammatical, des schémas et des tableaux récapitulatifs. Cette grammaire s'adresse des apprenants débutants, adolescents ou adultes. Elle les accompagnera ds leurs premires semaines d'apprentissage du français, soit que l'enseignant l'utilise en complément du manuel habituel, soit qu'il s'en serve comme document-ressource la maison. Une premire partie Outils grammaticaux traite classiquement, en termes trs simples et toujours en partant d'exemples, des différentes parties du discours : le nom, ce qui le précde (les articles), ce qui le complte (les compléments du nom, les adjectifs), ce qui le remplace (les pronoms) ; le verbe, les principaux temps de l'indicatif, les occurrences les plus fréquentes du subjonctif et du conditionnel, les formes impersonnelles, l'emploi du passif, la construction des verbes ; les mots invariables (prépositions et adverbes) ; la phrase négative, interrogative, exclamative. Une seconde partie Comment exprimer...? se réfre d'avantage une approche notionnelle-fonctionnelle. Elle permet aux apprenants débutants de trs vite se débrouiller dans les diverses situations de communication qu'ils rencontrent : comment se situer dans le temps et dans l'espace, comment suggérer quelque chose, accepter ou refuser une proposition, émettre un doute ou une restriction, formuler un souhait... Ici encore, chaque fait de langue est toujours mis en situation, soit par une phrase ou un petit dialogue, soit par un dessin."
A találkozás
Hazánk nagy örömmel fogadta 2016 januárjában a cebui bejelentést, hogy 2020 őszén Budapest rendezheti meg - immár másodszor - a Nemzetközi Eucharisztikus Kongresszust. Az előkészületek szinte azonnal megkezdődtek: megalakult a világeseményt szervező Titkárság, megfogalmazódtak az üzenetek, hónapról hónapra többen csatlakoztak a népszerűsítő feladatokhoz, a munkatársak bejárták az országot, a Kárpát-medencét és eljutottak Európa nagy városaiba is. Piero Marini érsek, a Nemzetközi Eucharisztikus Kongresszusok Pápai Bizottságának elnöke szerint még soha nem tapasztalt ilyen nagy érdeklődést és magas részvételi szándékot, mint a budapesti világesemény kapcsán. Aztán a vég-hajrában, alig fél évvel a rendezvénysorozat előtt kitört a világjárvány. Minden, ami elkészült és amit megterveztünk, elveszett, és az első sokk után jött az újratervezés a sok bizonytalanság, be¬zártság, gyász közepette. 2021. szeptember 5-én viszont fénybe öltözött Budapest és a Hősök terén megkezdődött a Nemzetközi Eucharisztikus Kongresszus.
A szemünk előtt írt Magyarország történelmet és felhőtlen boldogság uralkodott a találkozások miatt. Találkozott a múlt és a jelen, Kelet és Nyugat, találkozhattunk egymással, Ferenc pápával, és ami a legfontosabb: az Oltáriszentségben jelenlévő Jézus Krisztussal. Ez a színes fotókkal gazdagon illusztrált kötet emléket kíván állítani az 52. Nemzet¬közi Eucharisztikus Kongresszusnak. Ahogy indult, ahogy elhalasztották, ahogy az esemény lezajlott. A középpontban az a csoda áll, az az isteni kegyelem, ami itt maradt közöttünk.
L´Arrache-coeur
Voil un coin de campagne o l'on a de drôles de façons... La foire aux vieux, par exemple. Curieuse institution ! On sait bien aussi que tous les enfants peuvent voler comme des oiseaux ds qu'ils étendent leurs bras - mais est-ce une raison suffisante pour les enfermer derrire des murs de plus en plus hauts, de plus en plus clos ? Le psychiatre Jacquemort se le demande puis ne se le demande plus, car il a trop faire avec la honte des autres, qui s'écoule dans un bien sale ruisseau. Mais nous, qui restons sur la rive, nous voyons que Boris Vian décrit simplement notre monde. En prenant chacun de nos mots habituels au pied de la lettre, il nous révle le monstrueux pays qui nous entoure, celui de nos désirs les plus implacables, o chaque amour cache une haine, o les hommes rvent de navires, et les femmes de murailles.
