La réception de Proust à l'étranger /
:
L'œuvre de Marcel Proust a été traduite dans de nombreuses langues et ces traducteurs offrent toute une panoplie de variantes selon leurs perspectives. La critique internationale s'est également penchée sur la Recherche dès les années 1920 pour se déplier ensuite en une multitude d'approches. D'autre part tout un ensemble d'auteurs littéraires a trouvé dans l'écriture proustienne une source d'inspiration. Et les lecteurs partout dans le monde ont suivi le conseil de Proust de créer leur propre version du texte. De toutes ces expériences en trouvera ici un reflet et des échos provenant de tous les coins de la planète, de la Chine au Brésil, de l'Italie à la Turquie, des Pays-Bas à la Suisse, de la Suède à la Catalogne, de la Hongrie à l'Allemagne, du Québec à la Grèce.

La banque privée et l'économie monétaire égyptienne (IIIe s. a.C. - IVe s. p.C.) /
:
"Ce livre fait l'histoire de la banque privée en Égypte ptolémaïque et romaine. Grâce à la documentation papyrologique et numismatique, l'Égypte offre une occasion unique en histoire économique antique de replacer l'histoire de la banque privée dans le contexte plus général de l'économie monétaire égyptienne. Plusieurs comparaisons sont dressées avec d'autres économies historiques, celles de l'Italie et de l'Occident romains, de l'Empire carolingien, de l'Angleterre moderne et de la France sous l'Ancien Régime. Elles permettent de mieux apprécier les fonctions économiques et l'ampleur du développement chronologique et géographique de la banque privée en Égypte ptolémaïque et romaine. Une économie monétaire historique peut fonctionner sans banque privée mais la présence de celle-ci paraît le signe d'une économie monétaire plus sophistiquée. Dans ces conditions, les hauts et les bas de l'institution en Égypte permettent de mieux saisir les variations de longue durée de l'économie monétaire égyptienne"--
"This book chronicles the history of private banking in Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt. Thanks to papyrological and numismatic documentation, Egypt offers a unique opportunity in ancient economic history to place the history of private banking within the broader context of the Egyptian monetary economy. Several comparisons are made with other historical economies, those of Roman Italy and the West, the Carolingian Empire, modern England, and France under the Ancien Régime. They allow for a better appreciation of the economic functions and the extent of the chronological and geographical development of private banking in Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt. A historical monetary economy can function without a private bank, but the presence of one appears to be a sign of a more sophisticated monetary economy. Under these conditions, the ups and downs of the institution in Egypt allow for a better understanding of the long-term variations in the Egyptian monetary economy"
