Book excerpt: Mauriac, the most important writer of the modern French Catholic revival and one of the half‐dozen greatest European novelists of this century. Mauriac is the moral historian and chronicler of a region: the pine barrens of southwestern France called Les Landes with its regional capital at Bordeaux; of a social class, the upper bourgeoisie who live in big gloomy houses in Bordeaux but often have their wealth -- or once had it -- from the relentless harvesting of pit props and pine resin on large forest estates like Maltaverne, which they constantly plot to make larger; of the spiritual condition of this class, whose representatives are at once cruelly materialistic and deeply religious according to the rigors of the Jansenist conscience, people both clannish and selfish and yet poignantly human in the intensity of their loves and hates. They are without what is called “Gallic charm,” and some of them are monsters whom only God (and Mauriac) could love, and this is surely as Mauriac intends.

Book Synopsis France by : United States. Office of Geography
Download or read book France written by United States. Office of Geography and published by Washington, D.C. : [The Board]. This book was released on 1964 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly the whole of America's partisan politics centers on a single question: Can markets solve our social problems? And for years this question has played out ferociously in the debates about how we should educate our children. From the growth of vouchers and charter schools to the implementation of No Child Left Behind, policy makers have increasingly turned to market-based models to help improve our schools, believing that private institutions--because they are competitively driven--are better than public ones. With The Public School Advantage, Christopher A. and Sarah Theule Lubienski offer powerful evidence to undercut this belief, showing that public schools in fact out-perform private ones.

Book Synopsis The Back of the North Wind by : Nicolas Freeling
Download or read book The Back of the North Wind written by Nicolas Freeling and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2023-12-05 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From an Edgar award–winner, a shrewd French detective investigates murder in “a meditative, dark, ironic installment in the unconventional Castang series” (Kirkus Reviews). Two violent murders one after another in a provincial district in France is more than enough to agitate the astute mind of Inspector Henri Castang. Especially since the first was so gruesome—he suspects the corpse has been cannibalized. The second killing leads him to a teenage prostitute whose youth and beauty can hardly mask the evil within. Soon enough Castang is questioning human nature itself, even as his investigation opens into political intrigue—and corruption that strikes a little too close to home. Praise for Nicolas Freeling: “In depth of characterization, command of language and breadth of thought, Mr. Freeling has few peers when it comes to the international policier.” —The New York Times “Nicolas Freeling . . . liberated the detective story from page-turning puzzler into a critique of society and an investigation of character.” —The Daily Telegraph “Freeling rewards with his oblique, subtly comic style.” —Publishers Weekly “Freeling writes like no one. . . . He is one of the most literate and idiosyncratic of crime writers.” —Los Angeles Times

Download or read book Mauriac written by Paul Cooke and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-11-22 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although internationally renowned as a novelist, journalist, and essayist, Nobel Prize-winning author François Mauriac (1885-1970) never established a reputation as a poet. Yet it was Maurice Barrès’s favourable review of his first collection of verse, Les Mains jointes, that launched Mauriac’s career in 1910. He went on to publish three further collections of poems and insisted to the end of his life that, despite critical neglect of his verse, he remained first and foremost a poet. This book offers the first ever in-depth exploration of the whole of Mauriac’s verse output. After a chapter tracing his general conception of poetry and comparing his ideas to those of other poets and theorists, each of Mauriac’s verse collections is analysed in turn, as are many of his poems that were published exclusively in literary journals. A final chapter explores the significant relationship between Mauriac’s verse and his novels, revealing the multiple connections between these two series of texts. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in twentieth-century French poetry and, more generally, to those interested in the relationship between verse and prose.
