Noon Moon. Le mercredi des cendres

Noon Moon. Le mercredi des cendres

Auteure: Percy Kemp

Nombre de pages: 296

Pauvre Charlie ! Le voilà mis à l’écart de la grande traque lancée contre les terroristes. Placardisé par ses supérieurs – lui, l’homme de terrain ! Et pauvre Zandie ! Capturé par les Fous de Dieu, il s’attend à être égorgé d’un jour à l’autre. Et cette fois, personne n’y pourra rien. À moins que... À moins que les apparences, une fois encore, ne nous jouent des tours. Que le danger ne vienne pas du Vieux de la Montagne et de ses partisans fanatisés, mais de ceux-là mêmes qui ont été chargés de les liquider. Ou de cet étrange maître espion qui cite autant Platon que le Coran, et dont les motivations sont si déroutantes ?

Jeff Noon's Vurt

Jeff Noon's "Vurt"

Auteure: Andrew C. Wenaus

Nombre de pages: 139

This book offers an examination of Jeff Noon’s iconoclastic debut novel, Vurt (1993). In this first book-length study of the novel, which includes an extended interview with Noon, Wenaus considers how Vurt complicates the process of literary canonization, its constructivist relationship to genre, its violent and oneiric setting of Manchester, its use of the Orphic myth as an archetype for the practice of literary collage and musical remix, and how the structural paradoxes of chaos and fractal geometry inform the novel’s content, form, and theme. Finally, Wenaus makes the case for Vurt’s ongoing relevance in the 21st century, an era increasingly characterized by neuro-totalitarianism, psychopolitics, and digital surveillance. With Vurt, Noon begins his project of rupturing feedback loops of control by breaking narrative habits and embracing the contingent and unpredictable. An inventive, energetic, and heartbreaking novel, Vurt is also an optimistic and heartfelt call for artists to actively create open futures.

High Noon

High Noon

Auteure: Phillip Drummond

Nombre de pages: 135

Made in 1951, High Noon rapidly became one of the most celebrated and controversial Hollywood dramas of the post-war period. A grave, taut western about community and violence, High Noon collected a clutch of Oscars, helped to re-establish the dwindling fortunes of its star, Gary Cooper, and confirmed the stature of director Fred Zinnemann and producer Stanley Kramer. The film was also a flashpoint for the conflict between the US film industry and McCarthyite anti-communism: writer and associate producer Carl Foreman was hounded off the production and blacklisted. Phillip Drummond offers a detailed account of High Noon's troubled production context and its early public reception, along with career-summaries of the key participants. He analyzes the dramatic organization of the film with close reference to the original short story and Carl Foreman's script, and concludes with an invaluable overview of the long history of critical debates, focusing on questions of social identity and gender. The result is a fresh and nuanced reading of a major classic. Phillip Drummond is Lecturer in Film and Media Studies at the Institute of Education, University of London, UK.

The Man Called Noon (Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures)

Auteure: Louis L'amour

Nombre de pages: 242

As part of the Louis L’Amour’s Lost Treasures series, this edition contains exclusive bonus materials! In one swift moment a fall wiped away his memory. Now all he knew for certain was that someone wanted him dead—and that he had better learn why. But everywhere he turned there seemed to be more questions—or people too willing to hide the truth behind a smoke screen of lies. He had only the name he had been told was his own, his mysterious skill with a gun, and a link to a half million dollars’ worth of buried gold as evidence of his past life. Was the treasure his? Was he a thief? A killer? He didn’t have the answers, but he needed them soon. Because what he still didn’t know about himself, others did—and if he didn’t unlock the secret of his past, he wasn’t going to have much of a future. Louis L’Amour’s Lost Treasures is a project created to release some of the author’s more unconventional manuscripts from the family archives. In Louis L’Amour’s Lost Treasures: Volumes 1, Beau L’Amour takes the reader on a guided tour through many of the finished and unfinished short stories, novels, and treatments that his father was never able to publish during ...

Between Noon and Three

Between Noon and Three

Auteure: Robert Farrar Capon

Nombre de pages: 312

Picture a college town in the mid- 1970s. An English professor who has become an expert in extramarital dalliances is smitten by one of his graduate students. They meet for lunch around noon, and before three they make declarations of love. Is it possible that their subsequent affair could ultimately teach us something about true forgiveness and the radical meaning of grace? Only Robert Farrar Capon would have the audacity — and the authorial skill — to fashion such a tale. It has taken well over a decade for Between Noon and Three to appear in this, its original form. First published under two separate titles with significant parts excised and an entire section recast, the real Between Noon and Three is actually a trilogy of intertwined tales, each of which exhibits Capon's persistent insistence on the outrageous nature of grace. The original manuscript is here printed in full, including a new introduction by Capon on the work's unusual history. Reading sometimes like a provocative novel, sometimes like a theological wrangle between writer and reader, Between Noon and Three defies categorization. Capon sums up the book this way: "Those who read it as a novel are doomed to...

Morning, Noon, and Night

Morning, Noon, and Night

Auteure: Arnold Weinstein

Nombre de pages: 465

From Homer and Shakespeare to Toni Morrison and Jonathan Safran Foer, major works of literature have a great deal to teach us about two of life’s most significant stages—growing up and growing old. Distinguised scholar Arnold Weinstein’s provocative and engaging new book, Morning, Noon, and Night, explores classic writing’s insights into coming-of-age and surrendering to time, and considers the impact of these revelations upon our lives. With wisdom, humor, and moving personal observations, Weinstein leads us to look deep inside ourselves and these great books, to see how we can use art as both mirror and guide. He offers incisive readings of seminal novels about childhood—Huck Finn’s empathy for the runaway slave Jim illuminates a child’s moral education; Catherine and Heathcliff’s struggle with obsessive passion in Wuthering Heights is hauntingly familiar to many young lovers; Dickens’s Pip, in Great Expectations, must grapple with a world that wishes him harm; and in Marjane Satrapi’s autobiographical Persepolis, little Marjane faces a different kind of struggle—growing into adolescence as her country moves through the pain of the Iranian Revolution.

Dans les rues de Manchester, battues par la pluie et infestées d'ombreflics, errent les Chevaliers du Speed, une bande de déjantés accros aux plumes Vurt, la meilleure drogue qui se puisse rêver. Comme dit maître chat, cependant, soyez prudents, très prudents, ce voyage n'est pas pour les faibles. Mais Scribble n'en fait qu'à sa tête. Il recherche la plume Vurt, ultime, mythique. Une quête qui le mènera au-delà des frontières de l'amour et de lui-même, sans espoir de retour.
