the three partisans jean yves pitoun

Based on the true stories the author grew up hearing about his father’s time fighting with the Resistance during WWII, this sweeping historical drama combines adventure, romance, and espionage to tell the story of extraordinary perseverance in the face of overwhelming odds. This is the gripping saga of three World War II freedom fighters: Robert, an Algerian Jew, who runs away from home to join the army in Algiers; Mike, a cocky American pilot who enlisted in the Royal Air Force at the outset of the war; and Janine, a passionate and determined Frenchwoman leading missions to smuggle Allied airmen over the Pyrenees, out of France, and to safety. When fate forces the trio together, an easy friendship forms, one that soon blossoms into a fragile love triangle. With dangers mounting and SS operatives closing in, one of them is captured and must be rescued at all costs. ​​The story brings to life the significant cruelty of the occupation, and how the war brought out the ugliest aspects of human nature in some, but the gifts of courage, self-sacrifice, and grit in others. Filled with action-packed battle scenes, daring escapes, and a colorful cast of characters, this saga evokes the ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Founded by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé in 1962, shortly after the young couturier left his post at the helm of Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent would soon become one of the most successful and influential haute couture houses in Paris. Introducing Le Smoking, the first tuxedo suit for women, in 1966, Saint Laurent also presented iconic, art-inspired creations, from Mondrian dresses to precious Van Gogh embroidery and the famous Ballets Russes collection.The designer put the women who wore his clothes first (“What’s most important in couture is the body we dress, the woman we dress, more so than the ideas we might have”) and was determined to change attitudes of the era (“Fashion’s purpose is not only to make women look beautiful, but also to reassure them and to give them confidence”). He could be critical of the fashion industry (“I adore clothes but I hate fashion”), and he saw himself as a craftsman who perfectly understood his customer (“I think there are three kinds of designers. The great ones, the true ones, and the ones who know how to delight a woman just by making a very simple dress, or a very simple suit”).The World According to ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Komiks z řady Velké námořní bitvy se věnuje osudnému momentu druhé světové války – bitvě u Midway. Klíčový okamžik se odehrává v červnu 1942, kdy se americké a japonské námořní a letecké síly střetly v dramatickém konfliktu. Autor Jean-Yves Delitte přináší kombinaci pečlivého historického výzkumu s poutavými osobními příběhy vojáků zapojených do bitvy, což poskytuje možnost vidět událost z jejich perspektivy.Důležitým aspektem konfliktu byly bitevní lodě a především letadla, která střet rozhodla a ukončila tak jednu velkou epochu dějin válek na moři, což dobře popisuje informační příloha o vojenské technice. Zvlášť se detailně zaměřuje na taktiku Japonců a pozastavuje se i u admirála Jamamota. Atmosféru celé události dokreslují dobové fotografie a propagandistické plakáty.V historii byla námořní síla vždy zásadním faktorem pro každou světovou velmoc. Symbolizovala technologickou pokročilost a vojenskou dominanci, přičemž její význam byl kritický především v éře před rozvojem letecké války. Bitvy jako Trafalgar, Jutsko nebo Lepanto jsou považovány za legendární. Jean-Yves Delitte se na tuto oblast specializuje a připravuje pro vás novou řadu komiksů, která vás přenese přímo do srdce velkých námořních bitev od starověku po druhou světovou válku. Autor čerpal z ikonografických zdrojů Národního námořního muzea a z výsledků výzkumu, což dokazují didaktické přílohy doprovázející každý díl.

Kniha Jeana-Yvese Tadiého je určitým inventářem myšlenek Marcela Prousta a Sigmunda Freuda. Autor nachází paralely v jejich názorech na spánek, sny, paměť, dětství, homosexualitu, lásku, žárlivost, smutek i smrt. Jean-Yves Tadié, přední odborník na dílo Marcela Prousta a pozorný čtenář Sigmunda Freuda, porovnává ve svém textu inteligence dvou výjimečných mužů a jejich postoje k okolnímu světu. Freud i Proust byli, každý svým vlastním způsobem, průzkumníky, kteří se snažili proniknout hlouběji do lidské psychiky. Jeden prostřednictvím nevědomí a psychoanalýzy, druhý v souvislostech s pamětí, z níž se vynořují obrazy koloběhu života, jež nám pomáhají pochopit sama sebe i situace, v nichž se ocitáme. Ačkoli současníci, Freud a Proust se nikdy nesetkali, nestudovali vzájemně svou práci, ale zdá se, že sledovali paralelní cesty ve výzkumu hloubek a jemností lidské mysli. Akademik, literární kritik a životopisec Tadié ve své práci dělá to, o čem možná mnozí znalci freudovských teorií a proustovského vyprávění snili. Spojuje dva světy, vymýšlí společná témata. Jemně staví oba muže bok po boku, přemýšlí o psychice Proustových postav a klinických případech vyprávěných Freudem. Upozorňuje na jejich podobnosti a rozdíly. Rozebírá také myšlenky, jež oba géniové zaznamenali na papír, avšak dovozuje i to, o čem mlčeli. Výsledkem Tadiého práce je vzácná ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Bezmála dvacet let uplynulo od napsání prvního dílu tohoto pozoruhodného životopisu o neméně pozoruhodném muži. Bylo tedy právě načase, aby i čeští čtenáři měli možnost nahlédnout do nejtemnějších zákoutí života a duše velkého spisovatele, jakým byl Marcel Proust. Biografie, kterou vám předkládáme, je bezesporu tou nejhodnotnější knihou, která kdy o Proustovi vyšla. Jen málo odborníků by se mohlo tohoto úkolu zhostit s větší pokorou a zároveň důrazem na fakticitu informací než Jean-Yves Tadié, jenž proustovskému bádání zasvětil mnoho let intenzivní práce. V tomto díle je vše, co se můžeme o Proustovi dozvědět, vše, co je nutné znát, abychom pochopili jeho osobnost a jeho dílo. Konečně máme možnost zjistit, kým autor Hledání ztraceného času skutečně byl a co vše následně utvářelo hodnotu literárního odkazu, co po sobě zanechal. Na devíti stech stranách prvního dílu publikace, jež obnažuje autorův život od jeho narození po první léta 20. století, se nám otevírá překvapující svět génia, který můžeme prožívat takřka po minutách ve Swanovském opojení. Biografie Marcela Prousta není jen biografií muže z vysoké společnosti, který se vyrovnával s vážnou nemocí, homosexualitou i nedostatkem uznání. Je to především biografie člověka, který svou velikost těžil z toho, co tvořil. Neboť právě tomu se zcela obětoval.

Analyticko-srovnávací studie Školní vzdělávání ve Francii je sedmou publikací řady Školní vzdělávání v zahraničí. Studie zachovává obdobnou strukturu jako dřívější publikace v řadě, metodologicky se však kromě studia odborné literatury opírá také o vlastní empirická data autorů sebraná prostřednictvím pozorování ve školních třídách či rozhovorů s různými aktéry vzdělávacího systému (učiteli, řediteli, inspektory…).

After the first volume was published in 2009 under the title Jean-Yves Barrier. Architect and Urbanist / Architecte et Urbaniste, which documented 25 years of his architectural practice, this second volume is dedicated to architectural and artistic projects since the mid- 2000s. While the first volume focused on architectural and urbanistic projects, this second volume presents not only 25 new architectural projects of Barrier, but also a completely different facet of his work: the relationship between architecture and art. In this context, 'folding' becomes a fundamental concept that can be applied from design objects to art installations in public spaces and architecture. This new volume also shows once again the astonishing variety of architectural typologies that Barrier deals with in his current oeuvre. Whether it concerns residential buildings, collective housing, public facilities, urban design or functional buildings (such as supermarkets, an employment office or an engineering structure), Barrier never adopts a repetitive or doctrinaire attitude, but develops new solutions for each project, which can be found in his ideal 'lexicon of constants'. This is particularly true for the permanent search for urban coherence for the most varied interventions: in city centres, in derelict industrial zones or in diffuse peri-urban spaces. ...

In May 1968, France exploded. Leftist student groups occupied the streets of Paris, riot police clashed with protesters, and a general strike spread across France like wildfire, threatening to grind government and industry to a halt. And at the heart of it all - Elise. Ten years earlier, Elise came to Paris to try her luck in show business. While she met with success as a pop singer, she soon found herself radicalised by the Algerian War and the poor treatment of Algerian immigrants in Paris. For the next 20 years, she would join the fight against labour exploitation, social injustice, and racism in France - risking it all for progressive causes. The veiled autobiography of singer Dominique Grange, ELISE AND THE NEW RESISTANCE is an exhilarating glimpse into the front lines of the spirited social movements of late-20th century France. Drawn with typical mastery by legendary French cartoonist Tardi, this graphic novel resonates powerfully at a time when the fight against injustice still rages.

Jean Genet, French playwright, novelist and poet, turned the experiences in his life amongst pimps, whores, thugs and other fellow social outcasts into a poetic literature, with an honesty and explicitness unprecedented at the time. Widely considered an outstanding and unique figure in French literature, Genet wrote five novels between 1942 and 1947, now being republished by Faber & Faber in beautiful new paperback editions.Miracle of the Rose was Jean Genet''s second novel, composed in 1943 while incarcerated in prison. The novel is informed by Genet''s memories of confinement, both in prison and the Mettray reformatory where he spent three years from the age of 15. The central figure of the novel is Harcamone, whom Genet first encountered at Mettray, and who resurfaces in an adult prison -- now a murderer and, in the world-turned-upside-down of Genet''s vision, a quasi-divine figure.Includes a new introduction by Terry Hands.

Introduced and Annotated by Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex.Three Men in a Boat is a comic classic. When it first appeared in 1889 it became a best seller, and has remained popular ever since. This motley novel has not only been translated into many languages but has also been staged, filmed, televised and imitated. The adventures and misfortunes on the Thames of the three English friends and their pugnacious dog, Montmorency, provide rich humour, shrewd observations, lyrical reflections, and, predominantly, genially ironic perceptions of human fallibility.The sequel, Three Men on the Bummel, reunites the three friends for their ‘Bummel’ (‘roaming or wandering’) through Germany. The results vary from the seductively titillating to the outrageously farcical; and subsequent history has laden the narrative with ironies.

In this revolutionary new book that blends insights from Eastern and Western traditions, spiritual guide and YouTube sensation Aaron Abke shows that enlightenment and liberation from suffering are not lofty and unattainable goals — they are our destiny Aaron Abke’s personal journey has taken him from evangelical Christian pastor to fitness model to one of America’s top spiritual thought leaders. Along the way, a profound awakening inspired by Eckhart Tolle drove him to the metaphysical insights he presents in his revolutionary first book. The Three Beliefs of Ego is a riveting exposition of the nature of suffering and a guide to spiritual freedom built on Abke’s reimagining of the concept of ego. Though it’s often treated as an enemy to be conquered, he instead sees the ego as a product of three core beliefs: lack, attachment, and control. These beliefs then give rise to the primary emotions of sadness, anger, and fear — the root causes of human suffering. From this paradigm-shifting premise, Abke takes readers on an inward journey to transcend these three beliefs and clear a path to inner peace. Central to this approach is Abke’s groundbreaking Emotional Guidance System, a powerful yet practical tool for pinpointing the ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Many Christians are tempted to dismiss concerns over the environment and the catastrophic effects of climate change. After all, prominent voices who most vociferously warn us about this crisis tend to also advocate a wider worldview antithetical to Christian teachings. In this text, noted philosopher and scholar Jean-Claude Larchet finds the roots of the global ecological crisis in a rejection of a truly Christian cosmology. Explaining the relationship between man and nature ordained by God in the beginning, Larchet bases the degradation of the creation ultimately in the primordial fall and outlines how we have arrived at the present crisis point. Finally, the author proposes principles and actions deeply rooted in his Christian ethos that would allow mankind to restore and reinvigorate its relationship with nature.

"Whenever I was asked: ''Why did you go to Santiago?'', I had a hard time answering. How could I explain to those who had not done it that the way has the effect - if not the virtue - to make you forget all reasons that led you to become involved in it in the first place."Each year, tens of thousands of backpackers (Christian pilgrims and many others) set out from either their front doorstep or from popular starting points across Europe, to Santiago de Compostela. Most travel by foot, others ride a bicycle, and a few of them travel as did some of their medieval counterparts, on horseback or with a donkey. In addition to those who undertake a religious pilgrimage, the majority are hikers who walk the way for non-religious reasons: travel, sport, or simply the challenge of spending weeks walking in a foreign land. Also, many consider the experience as a spiritual adventure, with a view to removing themselves from the bustle of modern life.

Our first reaction to the Spider may be one of revulsion or fear⁠. To many of us, she is a distasteful creature destined to be crushed underfoot. But here in this book we meet the Spider as Fabre did-industrious builder, talented weaver, wily hunter, ill-fated mate. His observations, often surprising or amazing, on the lifecycle of the Spider are drawn from more than fifty years of studying and caring for them. Yes, the Spider is well worth studying.Jean-Henri Fabre is considered by many to be the father of modern entomology. He lived from 1823-1915, recording his research and reflections in the ten-volume work Souvenirs Entomologiques, from which the contents of The Life of the Spider have been compiled. The first volume of this set was written in 1879, he finished the tenth, and final, volume in 1909 when he was 86. The Life of the Spider was first published in 1912. Clement B. Davis added 16 full-page black and white drawings in 1919, which are included in this new and unabridged edition.
