<b><b>Un classique qui retrace une partie de l’histoire maritime</b><br></b> <br>En 1679, Alexandre-Olivier Exquemelin dit Oexmelin écrit le récit de ses aventures avec les Frères de la Côte. Par le menu détail, il conte les expéditions et dresse le portrait des plus fameux d’entre eux : l’Olonois, Monbars, Grammont, etc. C'est un succès immédiat, puis de nombreux écrivains y trouvent une source inépuisable d’inspiration. <br> <br> <b>Un roman historique biographique sur les grands navigateurs de l’entourage d’Oexmelin</b> <br> <br>EXTRAIT <br> <br>Les voyageurs aiment naturellement à parler de ce qui leur est arrivé, surtout lorsqu’ils sont hors de danger, et qu’ils croient que leurs aventures méritent d’être sues. Je ne veux donc point dissimuler que je prends quelque plaisir à raconter ce qui s’est passé dans mon voyage. Peut-être même ne sera-t-on pas fâché de l’apprendre ; je tâcherai du moins d’en rendre la relation aussi agréable qu’elle est vraie. <br> <br>Nous nous embarquâmes le 2 mai 1666 ; et le même jour, après avoir levé l’ancre de la rade du Havre-de-Grâce, nous allâmes mouiller à la Hogue, sous le cap de Barfleur. Nous étions dans le vaisseau Saint-Jean, qui appartenait à MM. de la Compagnie Occidentale, commandé par le capitaine Vincent Tillaye. Nous allâmes joindre le chevalier de Sourdis, qui commandait, pour le roi, le navire dit l’Hermine, monté de trente-six pièces de canon, avec ordre d’escorter plusieurs vaisseaux de la Compagnie qui allaient en divers endroits, les uns au Sénégal, en Afrique et aux Antilles de l’Amérique, les autres vers la Terre-Neuve. <br> <br>À PROPOS DE L’AUTEUR <br> <br>Lorsqu’une ordonnance du roi interdit l'exercice de la chirurgie aux protestants, <b>Alexandre Olivier Exquemelin</b> (né en 1646) s'engage à la Compagnie des îles d'Amérique. Aussitôt débarqué aux Antilles le 7 juillet 1666, il est vendu pour la somme modique de trente écus au sieur de La Vie qui le maltraitera. Sa réputation de médecin attire l'attention du gouverneur de l'île qui le protège. Fuyant le mauvais sort, il s'engage comme chirurgien sur un navire flibustier sous le commandement du fameux Morgan. Il participe à de nombreuses expéditions de 1666 à 1672.

This book addresses a deceptively simple question: what accounts for the global success of  <i>A Doll’s House</i>, Henrik Ibsen’s most popular play? Using maps, networks, and images to explore the world history of the play’s production, this question is considered from two angles: cultural transmission and adaptation. Analysing the play’s transmission reveals the social, economic, and political forces that have secured its place in the canon of world drama; a comparative study of the play’s 135-year production history across five continents offers new insights into theatrical adaptation. Key areas of research include the global tours of nineteenth-century actress-managers, Norway’s soft diplomacy in promoting gender equality, representations of the female performing body, and the sexual vectors of social change in theatre.

<p></p> <p>Any contemporary state presents itself as committed to the “rule of law”, and this notion is perhaps the most powerful political ideal within the current global discourse on legal and political institutions. Despite being a contested concept, the rule of law is generally recognised as meaning that government is bound in all its actions by fixed and public rules, and that these rules respect certain formal requirements and are enforced by an independent judiciary. </p> This book focuses on formal legality and the question of how to achieve good laws—a topic that was famously addressed by the 18th century enlightened thinkers, but also by prominent legal scholars of our time. Historically, the canon of “good legislation” demanded generality, publicity and accessibility, and comprehensibility of laws; non-retroactivity; consistency; the possibility of complying with legal obligations and prohibitions; stability; and congruency between enacted laws and their application. All these are valuable ideals that should not be abandoned in today’s legal systems, particularly in view of the silent revolution that is transforming our legality-based “states of law” into jurisdictional states. Such ideals are still worth pursuing for those who believe in representative democracy, in the rule of law and in the dignity of legislation. The idea for the book stemmed from the author’s parliamentary and governmental experience; he was responsible for the Government of Spain’s legislative co-ordination from 1982 to 1993, which were years of intensive legislative production. The more than five hundred laws (and thousands of decrees) elaborated in this period profoundly changed all sectors of the legal order inherited from Franco’s dictatorship, and laid the foundations of a new social and democratic system. For an academic, this was an exciting experience, which offered a unique opportunity to put the theory of legislation to the test. Reflecting and elaborating on this experience, the book not only increases scholarly awareness of how laws are made, but above all, improves the quality of legislation and as a result the rule of law. <p></p> <br> <p></p>

The story of how the concept of a pantheon, a building honouring great individuals, spread across Revolutionary Europe and interacted with socio-political and cultural changes. Analysing the canon and iconography of each pantheon, Bouwers shows how the commemoration of war and celebration of nationhood gave way to the protection of elite interests.

<p>Dziś trudno jest wyobrazić sobie rozmowy o gospodarce bez użycia pojęcia „przełomowa innowacja”. Jednak ta niezwykła popularność sprawia, że jego znaczenie coraz bardziej się rozmywa, a nawet wypacza. W swej książce Gans przypomina oryginalny sens teorii przełomowej innowacji zaproponowanej w 1997 roku przez guru zarządzania Claytona Christensena. Z przełomową innowacją mamy do czynienia wtedy, gdy firmy, które reagują na nią wzorcowo, działając w sposób, który wcześniej doprowadził je do sukcesu, ponoszą klęskę. Gans rozszerza teorię Christensena i prezentuje taktyki, które pozwalają wielkim firmom z lekkością wskakiwać na fale innowacji.<br />Gans w swojej książce nie stwierdza jednoznacznie, że klęska takich firm jak Britannica czy Blockbuster była nieunikniona. Obydwie miały wybór, ale Britannica, chcąc nadążyć za technologiczną zmianą, musiałaby kompletnie zmienić swoją strukturę organizacyjną i de facto stać się inną firmą. Blockbuster został wyparty z rynku, bo klienci opowiedzieli się za zaproponowanym przez Neflixa sposobem wypożyczania i oglądania filmów. Ale nic nie stało na przeszkodzie, aby sam Blockbuster powielił model biznesowy zaproponowany przez Netflixa. W 2000 r. ten pierwszy nawet odrzucił szansę zakupu Netflixa za 50 mln dolarów, w 2014 r. zaś wartość start-upu z Kalifornii była wyceniana już na 26 mld dolarów. I tu znów wracamy do dylematów, jakie stoją przed firmami – pisze w przedmowie do wydania polskiego Iain Maxwell, dyrektor zarządzający, Canon Polska</p>

Ludvig Holberg (1684-1754) is the founding father of the art of theatre in the Nordic countries. He was a satirist - and university professor - who took his main inspirations from the comedies of Moliere and from the commedia dell'arte to create a number of plays that mirrored contemporary costums and conducts in a both realistic and grotesque way. Due to the psychological and philosophical strength behind the comic mask the plays have been staged and revisited ever since. In the 18th century the were part of the European canon. They should be so now again. This book presents Holberg in a European context as a reformer in the spirit of the Enlightenment even before Goldoni, Diderot and Lessing, and at the same time as an exponent of a carnivalesque tradition.

This is Book 1 of the series "The Chronological Sherlock Holmes". "A Study in Scarlet" is a detective mystery novel written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, introducing his new characters, "consulting detective" Sherlock Holmes and his friend and chronicler, Dr. John Watson, who later became two of the most famous characters in literature. Conan Doyle wrote the story in 1886, and it was published the following year. The book's title derives from a speech given by Holmes to Doctor Watson on the nature of his work, in which he describes the story's murder investigation as his "study in scarlet": "There's the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it." (A "study" is a preliminary drawing, sketch or painting done in preparation for a finished piece.) The story, and its main characters, attracted little public interest when it first appeared. Only 11 complete copies of Beeton's Christmas Annual 1887 are known to exist now and they have considerable value. Although Conan Doyle wrote 56 short stories featuring Holmes, "A Study in Scarlet" is one of only four full-length novels in the original canon. The novel was followed by "The Sign of the Four", published in 1890. "A Study in Scarlet" was the first work of detective fiction to incorporate the magnifying glass as an investigative tool.

<p>The War of the Worlds is a science fiction novel by English author H. G. Wells, first serialized in 1897 by Pearson's Magazine in the UK and by Cosmopolitan magazine in the US. The novel's first appearance in hardcover was in 1898 from publisher William Heinemann of London. Written between 1895 and 1897,it is one of the earliest stories to detail a conflict between mankind and an extraterrestrial race.The novel is the first-person narrative of both an unnamed protagonist in Surrey and of his younger brother in London as southern England is invaded by Martians. The novel is one of the most commented-on works in the science fiction canon.</p> <p>Wells trained as a science teacher during the latter half of the 1880s. One of his teachers was T. H. Huxley, famous as a major advocate of Darwinism.</p> <p>The scientific fascinations of the novel are established in the opening chapter where the narrator views Mars through a telescope, and Wells offers the image of the superior Martians having observed human affairs, as though watching tiny organisms through a microscope. Ironically it is microscopic Earth lifeforms that finally prove deadly to the Martian invasion force. In 1894 a French astronomer observed a 'strange light' on Mars, and published his findings in the scientific journal Nature on the second of August that year. Wells used this observation to open the novel, imagining these lights to be the launching of the Martian cylinders toward Earth. American astronomer Percival Lowell published the book Mars in 1895 suggesting features of the planet's surface observed through telescopes might be canals. He speculated that these might be irrigation channels constructed by a sentient life form to support existence on an arid, dying world, similar to that which Wells suggests the Martians have left behind. The novel also presents ideas related to Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection, both in specific ideas discussed by the narrator, and themes explored by the story.</p> <p>Among the most significant works H. G. Wells: The Outline of History, </p> <p>The Country of the Blind, The Red Room, The Time Machine, The Invisible Man, The War of the Worlds, The Island of Doctor Moreau, The First Men in the Moon, The Shape of Things to Come, When the Sleeper Wakes. </p>
