Rachel Cobb: Mistral - Rachel Cobb - Bog - Damiani - Plusbog.dk

Rachel Cobb: Mistral - Rachel Cobb - Bog - Damiani - Plusbog.dk

Mistral is a portrait of Provence seen through its legendary wind. Photographer Rachel Cobb illustrates the effects of this relentless force of nature that funnels down France’s Rhône Valley, sometimes gusting to hurricane strength. The mistral is not just a weather phenomenon: it is an integral part of the fabric of Provençal life impacting its architecture, agriculture, landscape and culture. Houses have few or no windows on the northwest, windward side and the main entrance on the southern, sheltered side. Rows of trees lining fields create windbreaks to shield crops. Artists have long been drawn to the area for the clear skies that follow a mistral. Nobody who lives or spends time in the region can escape the mistral. It is everywhere yet nowhere to be seen. How do you photograph the wind? With images of a leaf caught in flight, grapevines lashed by powerful gusts (“You can taste the wine better when there’s a mistral,” a winemaker says), a bride tangled in her veil, and even spider webs oriented to withstand the wind. Out of thin air Cobb makes us feel the unseen. Including an introduction by Bill Buford and an excerpt from Paul Auster about his life in Provence. Cobb draws from writing by Jean Giono, Frédéric Mistral and others. The book is designed by Yolanda Cuomo Design, NYC.

The Mistral - Catherine Tatiana Dunlop - Bog - The University of Chicago Press - Plusbog.dk

The Mistral - Catherine Tatiana Dunlop - Bog - The University of Chicago Press - Plusbog.dk

An in-depth look at the hidden power of the mistral wind and its effect on modern French history. Every year, the chilly mistral wind blows through the Rhône valley of southern France, across the Camargue wetlands, and into the Mediterranean Sea. Most forceful when winter turns to spring, the wind knocks over trees, sweeps trains off their tracks, and destroys crops. Yet the mistral turns the sky clear and blue, as it often appears in depictions of Provence. The legendary wind is central to the area’s regional identity and has inspired artists and writers near and far for centuries. This force of nature is the focus of Catherine Dunlop’s The Mistral, a wonderfully written examination of the power of the mistral wind, and in particular, the ways it challenged central tenets of nineteenth-century European society: order, mastery, and predictability. As Dunlop shows, while the modernizing state sought liberation from environmental realities through scientific advances, land modification, and other technological solutions, the wind blew on, literally crushing attempts at control, and becoming increasingly integral to regional feelings of place and community.

Selected Prose and Prose-Poems - Gabriela Mistral - Bog - University of Texas Press - Plusbog.dk

Selected Prose and Prose-Poems - Gabriela Mistral - Bog - University of Texas Press - Plusbog.dk

The first Latin American to receive a Nobel Prize for Literature, the Chilean writer Gabriela Mistral (1889-1957) is often characterized as a healing, maternal voice who spoke on behalf of women, indigenous peoples, the disenfranchised, children, and the rural poor. She is that political poet and more: a poet of philosophical meditation, self-consciousness, and daring. This is a book full of surprises and paradoxes. The complexity and structural boldness of these prose-poems, especially the female-erotic prose pieces of her first book, make them an important moment in the history of literary modernism in a tradition that runs from Baudelaire, the North American moderns, and the South American postmodernistas. It''s a book that will be eye-opening and informative to the general reader as well as to students of gender studies, cultural studies, literary history, and poetry. This Spanish-English bilingual volume gathers the most famous and representative prose writings of Gabriela Mistral, which have not been as readily available to English-only readers as her poetry. The pieces are grouped into four sections. "Fables, Elegies, and Things of the Earth" includes fifteen of Mistral''s most accessible prose-poems. "Prose and Prose-Poems from Desolación / Desolation [1922]" presents all the prose from Mistral''s first important book. "Lyrical Biographies" are Mistral''s poetic meditations on Saint Francis and Sor Juana de la Cruz. "Literary Essays, Journalism, ''Messages''" collects pieces that reveal Mistral''s opinions on a wide range of subjects, including the practice of teaching; the writers Alfonso Reyes, Alfonsina Storni, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Pablo Neruda; Mistral''s own writing practices; and her social beliefs. Editor/translator Stephen Tapscott rounds out the volume with a chronology of Mistral''s life and a brief introduction to her career and prose.

The Memoirs of Frederic Mistral - Frederick Mistral - Bog - New Directions Publishing Corporation - Plusbog.dk

The Memoirs of Frederic Mistral - Frederick Mistral - Bog - New Directions Publishing Corporation - Plusbog.dk

Frédéric Mistral (1830-1914) was without a doubt the greatest modern Provençal poet and the foremost champion of his native Provence, the guiding spirit of a group of latter-day troubadours who revived and refined the language of Southern France as a literary medium. For this achievement and for his own poetry, Mistral was awarded the Nobel prize in 1904––characteristically, he gave the prize money to a folklore museum he had founded in Arles. Two years later, at the age of seventy-six, Mistral published his charming book of Memoirs, which is not so much an autobiography as a recollection of the life of ordinary country people in his early years, filled with delightful anecdotes, tales, folksongs, and poetry. Written in the relaxed conversational style of an elderly gentleman reminiscing about the old days, the Memoirs describe the circumstances of Mistral’s childhood and early manhood – the Provençal landscapes, the seasonal life of the farm, the religious observances and seasonal festivities, many clearly of pagan origin. Although educated in the classics and law in Avignon and Aix, Mistral felt out of place among the French-speaking bourgeois and returned to his family farm to devote his life to writing for the simple farming people of his region. He soon began his long poem Mireio (eventually transformed into the opera Mireille by Gounod), whose heroine was modeled on the peasant girls he saw and worked with daily. At the same time, he and several other young men came together to form the Felibrige, a society dedicated to restoring the Provençal language and preserving local traditions. The Memoirs concludes with the death of young Mistral’s father and the success of Mireio (1859), so quietly understated that one would hardly suspect that the author had been hailed as a major poet while still in his twenties. Mistral wrote his Memoirs in Provençal and himself translated them into French. A previous English translation (abridged and paraphrased from the French) was published in 1907 and has been out of print ever since. In his new translation, George Wickes of the University of Oregon has mined Mistral’s monumental dictionary, Lou Tresor dóu Félibrige. This illustrated edition includes the original texts of Provençal songs and verse, with Professor Wickes’ English versions printed en face.

Morderisk mistral - Cay Rademacher - Bog - Forlaget mellemgaard - Plusbog.dk

Forladt af konen og overflyttet til provinsen: Kaptajn Roger Blanc står midt i ruinerne af sit liv. Indtil for nylig var han en succesfuld korruptionsefterforsker i Paris, men han fik jokket godt og grundigt på en række magtfulde personers fødder. Han befinder sig nu alene i sit nye hjem i Provence, en forfalden oliemølle, som en onkel testamenterede ham for mange år siden. Men inden Blanc kan nå at finde sig til rette i den lille by Gadet, får han en mordsag. Kaptajnen bliver pludselig viklet ind i en intrige, der fører ham dybere ind i sin nye hjemstavns strukturer, end han bryder sig om. Og han skal også vænne sig til sine nye kolleger: til sin partner, Marius, der er mere interesseret i rosévin end i arbejde. Til den temperamentsfulde computerspecialist Fabienne, der synes at færdes hjemmevant overalt, lige med undtagelse af denne søvnige by. Og til den frygtede såvel som tiltrækkende undersøgelsesdommer Aveline Vialaron-Allègre, der er gift med lige netop den politiker, der ødelagde Blancs karriere. Så sker der nok et mord – og det ender med et showdown i pinjeskovene, som mistralen har forvandlet til et rasende flammehav ... “Cay Rademachers Morderisk mistral er den perfekte feriekrimi (…) en whodunit med et stramt komponeret plot (…). New York Times Book Review ”Plottet er lige så originalt som karaktererne. Det er, som om man mellem linjerne kan fornemme duften af Provence.” Kölner Stadtanzeiger “ Morderisk mistral er en stærk begyndelse på en ny, spændende serie, der udspiller sig i fantastiske omgivelser – en bog man ikke må gå glip af.” Bookloons Uddrag af bogen »Er offeret blevet brændt levende?« Retsmedicineren rystede på hovedet og pegede på furen i den forkullede overkrop. »Sandsynligvis skudhuller,« sagde hun. »Den døde er en mand. Jeg vil undersøge hans lunger på instituttet. Det, der er tilbage af dem. Men jeg ville blive overrasket, hvis jeg fandt sod i bronkierne. Han åndede ikke mere, da han brændte.« Tonon pegede på det støvede område omkring dem, som var blevet markeret af specialisterne. »Patronhylster. Kalasjnikov. Mindst ti hylstre. Og vi må ikke længere gå på skydebanen, fordi vi er nødt til at spare penge.« Han rystede på hovedet. »Farid Berrhama var en bølle og dealer fra Salon, der ønskede at blive en af de helt store i underverdenen af Marseille. De kaldte ham ›Le Barbecue‹, fordi han dækkede sine spor ved at sætte ild i de fyre, han ville have af vejen. Vi fik ham aldrig. Men en korsikansk klan fangede ham i et brasserie, otte mordere på én gang, tolv kugler i kroppen. Det ser ud til, at nogen vil være Berrhamas efterfølger.« Om forfatteren Cay Rademacher (f. 1965) er freelancejournalist og forfatter. Morderisk mistral er første bind i hans Provence-serie om Roger Blanc, der foreløbig har solgt over 560.000 eksemplarer og er blevet oversat til en række hovedsprog.

Reol, spejl, cirkel - Anette Harboe Flensburg - Bog - Forlaget Wunderbuch - Plusbog.dk

»De billeder, jeg arbejder med, ligger i et mærkeligt krydsfelt. Når det efter en lang proces, der begynder med bygningen af små modelrum, dagevis med udskiftning og flytten rundt på forskellige elementer, affotografering og fremkaldelse, endelig i udvalgte tilfælde ender som maleri, er det fordi det er i det medie, jeg bedst kan få billedet til at slippe de referenter af tid og sted, der klæber til fotografiet. Det er også i maleriet, jeg bedst kan få tomheden til at have fylde.« Reol, spejl, cirkel er skrevet af billedkunstner Anette Harboe Flensburg. Bogen er en collage af tekster og billeder, der på kryds og tværs står i indbyrdes relation til hinanden, som spredte labyrintiske knopskydninger. Formen er arkæologisk med spor, figurer og temaer af forskellig karakter – fra essays til prosa/lyrikfragmenter og fra snapshot til maleri. Bogen kredser om forfatterens egne og andres arbejdsprocesser og tænkning. Det gælder især de kunstnere og filosoffer, som indrammer eksistentielle grundvilkår og som samtidigt forsøger at overskride dem; at bryde isolationen, skabe passager mellem singulariteterne, mellem det enestående og fællesskabet. Mellem kropslig erfaring, sansning, materialitet, billede og sprog. Reol, spejl, cirkel er på mange måder en forlængelse af Anette Harboe Flensburgs Vi bor i hinanden , som Forlaget Wunderbuch udgav i 2014. Anette Harboe Flensburg (f. 1961), billedkunstner og forfatter. Uddannet ved Kunsthåndværkerskolen i Kolding og har studeret filosofi ved Københavns Universitet. Repræsenteret på kunstmuseer i Danmark og Sverige. I 2018 modtog hun Ny Carlsbergfondets Kunstnerpris og i 2017 Eckersberg Medaillen.

Sort land - Ahmad Mahmoud - Bog - People'sPress - Plusbog.dk

Sort land - Ahmad Mahmoud - Bog - People'sPress - Plusbog.dk

Sort land er et kig ind gennem tillukkede og friturefedtede persienner til en indvandrerghetto i Danmark – et parallelsamfund, hvor egne love og regler hersker. Ahmad Mahmoud er vokset op i Askerød som den næstyngste i en søskendeflok på syv. Han giver i Sort land et rystende billede af ghettolivet, hvor vold er daglig kost på lige fod med de arabiske retter, der tilberedes af kvinderne 24/7, så de kan står klar til familiens patriark. Indvandrerghettoen – med dens mange børn, koranskoler, bander, arrangerede ægteskaber og folk på overførselsindkomst – har sin helt egen kultur, som ingen ønsker at ændre; slet ikke dem, der lever i den. Ahmad har selv brudt et socialt mønster, og Sort land er hans opråb til andre om at følge hans eksempel – ikke mindst indvandrerkvinderne, så deres børn kan få samme chance som han!
