Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Boris Vian is a rare phenomenon. Nothing short of a national treasure in France, he is hardly known overseas. In his lifetime, he divided literary opinion with masterpieces that failed to sell and best sellers that caused outrage, trials and even deaths, including his own. As an impresario, he became the figurehead of the jazz scene that marked the French left bank at the end of the Second World War and was responsible for bringing Duke Ellington and Miles Davis to France. As a musician, he played his trumpet against the advice of cardiologists, sang pacifist songs before audiences of outraged patriots and, in passing, created French rock 'n' roll. Posthumously, he became known for his theatre, film scripts and poetry as well as for his novels. And in May '68 he became a revolutionary icon.In two posthumously published collections of short stories, translated for the first time in English in this volume, the France of Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir is seen through Vian's idiosyncratic and often rather madcap lens. And alongside them there is another voice entirely, a side of Vian that blends his dry irony with deep, at times startling, emotion. His poems, again published in English here for the first time, give a counter-point to the public figure loved throughout France but never quite admitted into the Pantheon of her great artists. For those who may have read L'Écume des jours or J'irai cracher sur vos tombes, or heard someone singing 'Le Déserteur' on the Paris Métro, or for those who are discovering him for the first time, here are both sides of the incomparable and never quite self-coinciding Boris Vian. …

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. Kent Town, Wakefield Press, 2010 (revised edition)/ 2004. Quarto, xviii, 425, [5] (blank, colophon) pages with numerous illustrations and maps plus 32 pages of colour plates. Papered boards; a fine copy with the fine dustwrapper. 'While the name of Matthew Flinders has found its rightful place in the pantheon of Australian explorers, that of Nicolas Baudin remains tarnished by the false accusations made against him by his enemies. | This book redresses the balance. Next to Flinders' voice is that of Baudin - presented here through fresh translations of his journals. And alongside the charts and the artwork which recorded the English encounter with Terra Australia are placed the visually striking rewards of the French expedition. Moreover, the authors have undertaken a detailed examination of the full range of achievements on both sides - in natural science, artistic endeavour, hydrography and, last but by no means least, the nascent discipline of anthropology' (dustwrapper blurb). The five-page 'Preface to the Second Edition' goes into some detail over the revisions.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This volume encompasses the range of issues encountered by language scholars who teach and research in departments of languages and cultures within the higher education system, predominantly in Australia, but touching other universities worldwide. Related studies on language planning, methodology or pedagogy have focused on one or more of these same issues, but rarely on their totality. Intersections as a metaphor running discreetly through the essays in this volume, connects them all to a lived reality. The field of languages and cultures, as it is practised and reflected upon in Australian universities, is essentially an interdisciplinary and interconnecting space - one in which linguistic and disciplinary diversities meet and join forces, rather than collide or disperse along different pathways. The international and local studies featured here focus on language planning, new pedagogies and language reclamation and link to meeting points and commonalities. They show that language scholars are increasingly finding themselves on common ground as they tackle issues of policy and practice affecting their field, whether within their institutions, within the tertiary system, or within the framework of government policy.…
