About this book

"Le printemps est de retour dans la forêt dissimulée au reste du monde où les Gnoufs travaillent à "emmieuter" le monde, notamment en réparant les trous dans les nuages, en soignant les oiseaux blessés et en raccrochant dans le ciel les étoiles tombées. La balade que s'offrent Mirabelle et le Petit Gnouf dans le jardin enchanté qui revient à la vie est malheureusement troublée par les pleurs d'Éliade, la princesse des elfes, qui leur confie craindre "l'heure du grand moment très important" où elle ouvrira enfin ses ailes pour la première fois. La pauvre craint en effet de ne pas arriver à voler et de tomber du ciel. Les encouragements de ses amis, qui mettent en elle tout leur espoir et lui réchauffent le coeur de leurs sourires lumineux, lui insufflent finalement le courage de s'élancer dans le vide ..."-- "Un conte printanier envoûtant dans lequel on retrouve avec bonheur l'adorable héros à mi-chemin entre le chiot et le lutin, lui dont les longues oreilles surgissent d'un grand bonnet rouge. Émotion, féerie et poésie se conjuguent avec grâce et délicatesse dans le texte d'une émouvante sensibilité qui se fait vecteur de grandes valeurs humaines en plus de célébrer avec finesse la beauté de la nature et les pouvoirs fabuleux de l'amitié. Le texte né de la plume magique de Dominique Demers, qui multiplie les trouvailles et inventions langagières ajoutant une touche d'espièglerie et de fraîcheur à l'ensemble, est sublimé par les aquarelles et pastels de Gabrielle Grimard, dont la palette d'une grande richesse contribue à créer un univers feutré, aérien et enveloppant où le mauve, le rose et le doré se conjuguent en un superbe ballet. Pétales échappés des cerisiers en fleurs, papillons, coquelicots et hortensias composent notamment les décors dénués de mièvrerie de ce magnifique album où s'animent des protagonistes fabuleusement attachants, dont les visages expressifs font l'objet de gros plans travaillés avec un soin immense qui les rend plus vrais que nature."--

Seeing Chekhov

Michael C. Finke

"Michael C. Finke explodes a century of critical truisms concerning Chekhov's objective eye and what being a physician gave him as a writer in a book that foregrounds the deeply subjective and self-reflexive aspects of his fiction and drama. In exploring previously unrecognized seams between the author's life and his verbal art, Finke profoundly alters and deepens our understanding of Chekhov's personality and behaviors, provides new interpretations of a broad array of Chekhov's texts, and fleshes out Chekhov's simultaneous pride in his identity as a physician and devastating critique of turn-of-the-century medical practices and ideologies." "Seeing Chekhov is essential reading for students of Russian literature, devotees of the short story and modern drama, and anyone interested in the intersection of literature, psychology, and medicine."--Jacket.

The Dragons of Eden

Carl Sagan

Presents an overview of human evolution and discusses human and animal intelligence, the mechanisms of the brain, memory, sleep, myths and legends about evolution, and the possibility of intelligent extraterrestrial life.

Iron John

Robert Bly

"In this timeless and deeply learned classic, poet and translator Robert Bly offers nothing less than a new vision of what it means to be a man. Bly's vision is based on his ongoing work with men, as well as on reflections on his own life. He addresses the devastating effects of remote fathers and mourns the disappearance of male initiation rites in our culture. Finding rich meaning in ancient stories and legends, Bly uses the Grimm fairy tale "Iron John"--In which a mentor or "Wild Man" guides a young man through eight stages of male growth-to remind us of ways of knowing long forgotten, images of deep and vigorous masculinity centered in feeling and protective of the young. At once down-to-earth and elevated, combining the grandeur of myth with the practical and often painful lessons of our own histories, Iron John is an astonishing work that will continue to guide and inspire men-and women-for years to come"--

Philosophie des Unbewussten

Eduard von Hartmann, with a preface by C.K. Ogden

V.1 The class of books to which the "Philosophy of the Unconscious" belongs is all but unrepresented in our literature, but the absence of similar home-productions can no longer be held to imply either an inability to comprehend their scope or an indifference to their results. To what shall we attribute the welcome accorded of late to certain reproductions and elucidations of the master-works of modern Transcendentalism, if not to the awakening of a long-repressed desire to re-examine the foundations of a spiritual fabric, for whose stability an instinctive confidence alone made answer? To many two attitudes of mind have become insupportable--that of total unconcern about fundamental truth, and that of unthinking acquiescence in the admission of merely juxtaposed and uncommunicating spheres of positive knowledge and impenetrable nescience.

Specifically, this volume looks at the metaphysic of the unconscious. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2011 APA, all rights reserved).
