Charles-Étienne Brasseur de Bourbourg, premier grand mayaniste de France /
:
200 years ago, on September 8, 1814, in the northern French city of Bourbourg, a boy was born into a family of local entrepreneurs connected to the local political or judicial elite. The young Charles-Etienne Brasseur was lucky to spend days and days in the impressive library of Alexandre Nicolas Muchembled, the son of his godmother. The reading of exciting travel books there mapped out the course of his truly adventurous life to come. Although a rebellious schoolboy, he acquired a huge knowledge in many fields by his omnivorous reading of books and journals. He was also a very curious young man, delving into the private libraries of the local grand families, resulting in him contributing many historical articles to newspapers and learned societies. At the age of 24, while still in high school, he published his first novel. This text tells his story.

Rhétorique et image : Textes en Hommage à Á. Kibédi Varga /
:
Ce livre est centré sur une problématique exclusive, fascinante autant que complexe, celle des rapports entre texte et image. Les auteurs, venus d'horizons très divers - théoriciens et historiens de la littérature et de l'art, philosophes, poètes - invitent le lecteur à lire un tableau de Chardin avec Proust, à interpréter Wilde à travers Whistler, ou à commenter Diderot avec Goethe. Poésie et roman, critique et commentaire, peinture et architecture, typographie et photographie sont convoqués concurremment pour comprendre les textes littéraires et les arts plastiques à partir du dialogue qu'ils n'ont cessé d'entretenir. Les contributions savantes, richement illustrées, sont encadrées par deux poèmes inédits. Ainsi l'inspiration précède et dépasse l'érudition. Ce recueil s'adresse au cœur, à l'œil et à l'esprit de lecteurs prêts à passer allègrement les frontières convenues entre texte et image, théorie et histoire, savoir et création.
