简介:Yukio Mishima na?t en tant qu'écrivain à partir de l'éclatant succès que re?ut Confession d'un masque. Raconté à la première personne, le roman est indéniablement d'inspiration autobiographique. Le jeune gar?on qui s'y livre souffre de se sentir différent des autres. Chétif, il est en outre issu d'un milieu moins favorisé que ses condisciples. Plus tard, fasciné par les représentations morbides et cruelles, il découvre qu'il en tire un plaisir allant jusqu'à la jouissance. Mais sa différence fondamentale et douloureuse réside dans son penchant homosexuel. Au Japon, sans doute plus que nulle part ailleurs, le besoin de se conformer à la normalité tourne parfois à l'obsession. Craignant le regard des autres, il feint de se sentir attiré comme eux par les jeunes filles de son école, la honte qui l'étreint est telle qu'il veut y croire lui-même. Esclave des conventions, il s'éprend de Sonoko la soeur d'un de ses amis, et fait na?tre un amour artificiel pour satisfaire son besoin de conformisme, mais ce jeu de dupes ne sera que vaines souffrances. --Lena?c Gravis et Jocelyn Blériot

简介:"Light In August", a novel which celebrates human hopefulness and perseverance against the reality of mortality, features some of Faulkner's most memorable characters: Joe Christmas, a desperate, enigmatic drifter consumed by his mixed ancestry; the Reverend Gail Hightower, who is haunted by visions of a Confederate cavalryman; and the guileless, dauntless Lena Grove, in search of the father of her unborn child. This unabridged audio program presents the text of "Light In August" as corrected in 1985 in its entirety.
Feminist Scocial Work:Theory and Practice
作者: ( )雷娜·多米耶利(Lena Dominelli)著;林青璇,赵小瑜译
简介: 近十年來女性主義對於社會工作理論和實務有重要的影響,改變了性別盲的部分。女性主義社會工作主要是透過服務於社會服務部門、私人部門與志願組織中個體來提供服務的一種實務形式,而不是提供給多數主流機構正式採用的方法。本書旨在探討女性主義社會工作者如何回應批判和規劃出更能滿足需要福利協助的個體和團體需求的理論與實務形式。 本書第一章討論如何超越二元論,檢討不同女性主義思潮學派中人們對自我認同的渴望和認同政治的處理。第二章焦點放在當公共照顧活動被重新斷言是女性的責任時,社會工作身為性別化專業的重要性。第三章菁英專業主義主張的挑戰來自新的社會運動,並且企圖重新將社會工作活動導向更平等的面向。第四章是以女性主義觀點探討與男性工作的重要性。第五章探究兒童與家庭社會工作中,女性自我實現的權益和照顧他人的責任之間可被調和的程度。第六章是從需求的角度來看國家與社區照顧。第七章闡述女性主義工作方法運用於觀護實務。第八章結論重述女性主義社會工作是未來實務中心的論點,並強調它如何致力於創造女性成為社會生活的核心而非邊緣的更美好世界。女性主義社會工作理論和實務對促進男性與女性間有更平等的關係、女性與兒童的福利是重要的。
简介: ?Don?t be surprised, Pussycat, ? said Helen Gurley Brown, still flirtatious at eighty-four, ?We?re all survivors and proud of it. We want to talk about it.? And they do.

The members of this generation have spent eighty-plus years honing the art of living and they have secrets to share. Their personal stories are truly inspirational. ?My answer to growing old at any age, whether you?re growing to be twenty, or forty, or sixty or eighty, is to fall in love and stay in love.? --Ray Bradbury, 86, author ?It's interesting to me--my career has taken off now that I?m ninety-five. It's totally taken off. I had to wait ?til I was ninety-five to be this popular.? --Kitty Carlisle Hart, 95, singer ?I say quite sincerely that this is the best time of my life.? --Hugh Hefner, 80, founder and editor-in-chief of Playboy Contributors to the book include: Mike Wallace, Helen Thomas, Sid Caesar, Carl Reiner, Lena Horne, Kitty Carlyle Hart, Ray Bradbury, Art Buchwald, Norman Lear, Robert Byrd, George McGovern, and Jack Valenti.

I hope Gardner and Bellows will do another one on 90 - I am in for the long run.?--Maya Angelou ?80 is the new young These inspiring stories of vibrant, active octogenarians are the best kind of tonic for warding off worries about old age.?--Tom Brokaw ?Once, almost nobody was eighty. Now many of us are and more of us are going to be soon. So Gerald Gardner and Jim Bellows give us a wonderful book about being eighty and more.?--Jimmy Breslin ?A joy to read and a guaranteed attitude adjustment. These people are hope And Gerald Gardner and Jim Bellows know how to edit down their famous lives to the fearless truths.?--Gail Sheehy, author of Passages and Sex and the Seasoned Woman ?Jim Bellows? and Gerald Gardner's 80 made me laugh, 80 made me think, and 80 actually made me look forward to reaching and to enjoying that Grand Age?--Mark Shields, syndicated columnist and PBS commentator ?80 is the most heartening book on old age I've read since De Senectute (Cicero, you callow sub-octogenarians, Cicero). The 80 old folks in 80 make 80 sound so fascinating, I feel short-changed by being forced to wait until 2010 to be among their number.?--Tom Wolfe "I love this book.??What?? a pleasure: great interviews, lovely wise people."--??nnie Lamott, author of Grace (Eventually): Thoughts on Faith

简介:The authors of Beaches take a breathtaking photographic journey to places that have the ineffable power to revive and inspire the human spirit. We are transported to the severe beauty of Richard Misrach's desert, the haunting moodiness of Joel Meyerowitz's seascape, the twisted and searing reds of Eliot Porter's sandstone caves. Gideon Bosker and Lena Lencek pair the images with poetry and reflections on the history and nature of pilgrimage. At the back of the book, they include a wish list of far-flung outposts from which to embark on a pilgrimage of one's own. With 90 full-color photographs of the most evocative and soul-stirring spots on earth, Pilgrimage is both a celebration of the spiritual trek and a destination of note in itself.
作者: Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio 编
出版社: 1987-6-1
简介: Avec Désert - prix Renaudot en 1980 - Le Clézio, écrivaindiscret, presque secret, accède à une reconnaissance enthousiastedu public. Depuis, sa notoriété ne s'est pas démentie au fil d'uneproduction pourtant singulière, tant par la forme qui rompt avec leformalisme du roman que par les thèmes toujours en marge d'un mondequi avance irrémédiablement. Nourris au sein de la nature vierge,de la mer ou des déserts, les personnages de Le Clézio, abreuvés delégendes intimes ou porteurs de l'histoire des peuples, errentinlassablement sur les chemins du retour. La certitude del'appartenance, le souvenir des paysages perdus, constituent lesforces vitales que ne peuvent ébranler la vulgarité des hommes oul'emprise de la ville. Telle Lalla, arrivée dans les quartierssordides de Marseille comme un navire échoué, mais avec la lumièredu désert dans les yeux et le sang des guerriers du Rio de Oro dansles veines. Alors, si la force de l'identité rend tout exil cruel,elle tient aussi lieu d'espoir. --Lena?c Gravis et JocelynBlériot
简介:This Norton Critical Edition includes both Three Livesand Q.E.D., first published in 1909 and 1950, respectively. Three Livesis comprised of the stories 'The Good Anna,' 'Melanchtha,' and 'The Gentle Lena.' 'Melanchtha' is an adaptation of Q.E.D., Stein's first completed novel, which remained unpublished until four years after her death. 'Contexts' is divided into two sections—'Biography' and 'Intellectual Backgrounds'—that highlight the inspirations for and evolutions of Three Livesand discuss the difficult reception Stein's experimental writing met with in the publishing world. 'Criticism' collects 19 chronologically arranged essays on Stein's life and work, from pieces written during the decades in which her work was regarded as important primarily for its influence on writers such as Ernest Hemingway and Sherwood Anderson to the more laudatory scholarship of recent years. Feminism and form, queer studies, interrelations of race and sexuality, African American studies, and primitivism and eugenics are all represented. Among the critical pieces are William Carlos Williams's commentary on Stein's complexity and originality, Richard Bridgman's study of Stein's work as a possible compensation and camouflage for her lesbianism, and Lisa Ruddick's essay connecting feminist analysis to theories of consciousness. A Chronology and Selected Bibliography are also included. About the Series: No other series of classic texts equals the caliber of the Norton Critical Editions. Each volume combines the most authoritative text available with the comprehensive pedagogical apparatus necessary to appreciate the work fully. Careful editing, first-rate translation, and thorough explanatory annotations allow each text to meet the highest literary standards while remaining accessible to students. Each edition is printed on acid-free paper and every text in the series remains in print. Norton Critical Editions are the choice for excellence in scholarship for students at more than 2,000 universities worldwide.

简介:Summary: Publisher Summary 1 From the book:"I didn't know I was going to be the first one. I felt like I was really going to have to deliver. If I didn't succeed, they were going to say, 'All Mexican American women are failures.'"?Texas Representative, Irma Rangel"There are not enough women who have figured out how to balance [faith and family], how to prioritize, but I believe that the younger women will make a difference . . . that as they grow up professionally and politically, that you will see more women in the ranks."?State Senator Judith Zaffirini"I think the expectations are higher because there haven't been that many [Latinas in the Texas Senate] and you are represent[ing] not just females, but an ethnic group that has not always been afforded the opportunity to participate in the political process."?State Senator Leticia Van de PutteIn the decades since Latinas began to hold public office in the United States in the late 1950s, they have blazed new trails in public life, bringing fresh perspectives, leadership styles, and policy agendas to the business of governing cities, counties, states, and the nation. As of 2004, Latinas occupied 27.4 percent of the more than 6,000 elected and appointed local, state, and national positions filled by Hispanic officeholders. The greatest number of these Latina officeholders reside in Texas, where nearly six hundred women occupy posts from municipal offices, school boards, and county offices to seats in the Texas House and Senate.In this book, five Latina political scientists profile the women who have been the first Latinas to hold key elected and appointed positions in Texas government. Through interviews with each woman or her associates, the authors explore and theorize about Latina officeholders' political socialization, decision to run for office and obstacles overcome, leadership style, and representational roles and advocacy. The profiles begin with Irma Rangel, the first Latina elected to the Texas House of Representatives, and Judith Zaffirini and Leticia Van de Putte, the only two Latinas to serve in the Texas Senate. The authors also interview Lena Guerrero, the first and only Latina to serve in a statewide office; judges Linda Yanes, Alma Lopez, Elma Salinas Ender, Mary Roman, and Alicia Chac贸n; mayors Blanca Sanchez Vela (Brownsville), Betty Flores (Laredo), and Olivia Serna (Crystal City); and Latina city councilwomen from San Antonio, El Paso, Dallas, Houston, and Laredo.
简介: 《剪刀手爱德华》讲述一个发明家制造了模拟人爱德华,这个爱德华具备人类的一切肉体和精神的功能,但发明家还没来得及为爱德华装上双手就去世了,只留下一双剪刀手作为代替。孤独的爱德华隐居在远离人群的神秘古堡之内,不敢面对正常的人类。化妆品直销员佩琦发现了这个少年,出于对爱德华处境的同情,把他带回了家。爱德华很快以灵巧异常的剪刀手和温和的性格博得了人们的欢迎。他能用剪刀手修剪植物、能帮邻居宠物剪出特别的造型、甚至能帮女士们剪出奇妙的发型。爱德华爱上了佩琦的女儿琴,但琴却因其怪异的外表而对他退避三舍。经过相处后,琴发现了爱德华丑陋的外表下隐藏着一尘不染的纯净心灵,并逐渐爱上了这个爱德华。但这给爱德华带来的却是痛苦——他甚至不能拥抱自己所爱的人…… 导演/演员简介: 蒂姆·波顿:1981年他执导了第一部卡通短片,之后又以第二导演的身份参加了剧情短片《小科学怪人》的拍摄,然后导演的电视片是《阿拉丁神灯》。1985年蒂姆·波顿有机会执导他的第一部长篇剧情片:《荒唐小混蛋奇遇记》,这部影片由华纳公司出品,该片获得业界人士好评,使他更为信心大增。《甲壳虫汁》则是蒂姆·波顿第一部里程碑式的作品。当时鬼电影已经泛滥成灾,如何推陈出新,让观众去接受鬼片,已成为这类电影的创作者殚思竭虑的主题。不过一般认为蒂姆·波顿最重要的影片还是1990年的《剪刀手爱德华》。在2001年,蒂姆·波顿又因为《决战猩球》的重拍而再次成为人们的焦点,当时竟夺这部影片执导权的还有另两位著名导演奥利弗·斯通和詹姆斯·卡梅隆。之后波顿又陆续推出《大鱼》(2003)、《查理和巧克力工厂》(2005)、《僵尸新娘》(2005)等片。波顿并非十分高产,却部部可圈可点,更为自己在世界范围内赢得了一大批忠实影迷。波顿1989年2月24日与Lena Gieseke结婚,1991年12月31日离婚,后在拍摄《决战猩球》过程中与英国女演员海伦娜·伯翰·卡特相识并开始交往,海伦娜从此也成为他的缪斯女神,这之后的每部作品都会为海伦娜安排角色,现在正在进行中的《理发师陶德》的男女主角就是约翰尼·德普和海伦娜。
简介:In A Bus of My Own, accomplished journalist, novelist and playwright Jim Lehrer dares that most daunting of literary challenges, the memoir - and succeeds brilliantly. From the public-address booth of a Texas bus depot to the nightly news, with plenty of adventures along the way, A Bus of My Own is a warm, funny, delightfully candid journey of reminiscence in the tradition of Russell Baker and Charles Kuralt. Whether the subject is a hilarious NewsHour near-disaster or a personal crisis, Jimmy Charles Lehrer's saga makes terrific copy. His consuming passion for the great days of the intercity bus line, born out of his parents' attempts to found a Kansas bus line in 1946 with three mechanically exhausted vehicles named Betsy, Susie and Lena; his youthful dreams, losses and embarrassments; his picaresque career as a reporter interviewing murderers, con men, Cardinals and Elvis, plus so many dignitaries wandering through the airport that he became known as the only foreign correspondent in American journalism never to leave the city limits of Dallas; his entry into public television in 1970 with a cast of reporters that featured blacks, Hispanics, women with long hippie hair and men with beards ("Some people went crazy and red in the face just looking at us"); his wealth of family, friends and cohorts, such as Robin MacNeil, Eudora Welty and the inimitable Sticks Strahala; his failproof method to stop smoking (have a heart attack); his lifelong hunger to possess "a bus of my own" - all percolate with the candor and wit that are Jim Lehrer's trademarks.
简介:This volume brings together four of Faulkner's early novels. As I Lay Dying presents the conscious and unconscious hallucinatory impressions of the family members of Addie Bundren, matriarch of a rural Mississippi clan, as they march her body to its grave. Sanctuary is a novel about sex and social class, collapsed gentility and a moral justice, moving from the backroads of Mississippi and Memphis to the courthouse of Jefferson and the spectacle of popular vengeance. Light in August portrays Faulkner's religious vision of the hopeful stubbornness of ordinary life. The guileless Lena Grove, in search of her unborn child's father; the disgraced minister Gail Hightower; and Joe Christmas, consumed by his mixed ancestry; find their lives entangled in love, birth and death. Pylon, a tale of aviators in an air show in a Southern city, examines the bonds of desire and loyalty among three men and a woman. ISBN 0-940450-26-7 :
