Lorsqu'une étoile tombe...: Roman

Un caf c l bre peut repr senter le bien- tre, ou encore le luxe, dont le bon go t serait l'accomplissement. La r ussite vaut parfois ceux qu'elle couronne l'image d'une toile, brillant au firmament des oubli s et des sans grade. Ainsi en irait-il autrement au ciel et sur terre, pour les lus ou pour le simple quidam. A moins que ne s'en m le ce qu'on dit tre le sort; ou, tout simplement une histoire, une m saventure venue enfreindre le partage et l'ordre. Alors l' toile tombe, sans clat et sans bruit.
Ces nouvelles parlent de la qu te d'un au-del des montagnes, ou de l'horizon. L'ordinaire, le banal, le commun ne sont que l'endroit d'o l'on regarde le ciel. Saurions-nous, d'ailleurs, dire ce qui compte, ce qui nous importe? Entre d sir et col re, tendresse et esp rance, elles parlent de nous... vus de plus loin. Etre aim est une chance; aimer est une n cessit .

Un banal accident? A moins que la famille n'en refuse la possibilit . Pourquoi? Par attachement? Par int r t? Par souci de v rit ? Rouvrir une enqu te demande de l'assiduit . Les inspecteurs Rativet et Boivin vont tenter de faire la part des choses, sans passion; reprendre le travail fait par d'autres a quelque chose d'inconvenant. Pourtant, si l'on se penche sur une histoire, son contexte... Le chemin est long du doute la lumi re.
Deux hommes que tout s pare trouvent l'un par l'autre une fen tre sur un ailleurs, ou plut t un autre regard. D couvrant peu peu ce qu'ils auraient pu avoir de commun, ils n'en restent pas moins chacun dans sa trajectoire. Mais quelque chose change. Comme si changer ne consistait pas tant modifier la r alit qu'ouvrir un autre regard sur elle. Est-on d'ailleurs si s r de ce que l'on croit conna tre ? Car si nous voyons bien le doute que l'autre vite, c'est par l' tonnement qu'il nous t moigne que nous d couvrirons ce que l' vidence nous cache.

Asesinos seriales: Hechos y perfiles de los más crueles criminales de la historia

Existe una gran diferencia entre matar en un momento de ira o emoci n violenta y hacerlo de modo sistem tico, planificando las circunstancias y eligiendo el perfil de las v ctimas. Los "asesinos seriales" matan a repetici n de manera compulsiva, hallando placer en ello. Suelen ser personas obsesivas, detallistas, met dicas. En l neas generales han tenido infancias signadas por el descuido, la humillaci n o el abandono; han sufrido violencia o incluso violaci n por parte de sus mayores. Aunque tambi n hubo asesinos de familias modelo, que un d a, por un hecho traum tico, sacan de lo profundo de si el impulso bestial que todos poseemos, pero que hemos dominado (o creemos haberlo hecho) como requisito para la vida en sociedad. Quien primero us la expresi n serial killers fue Robert Ressler, un crimin logo estadounidense que trabaj durante veinte a os al servicio del FBI. Pero, desde luego, la historia de este tipo de cr menes se funde con los or genes del hombre. Edgard de Vasconcelos nos ofrece aqu una peculiar galer a, no cronol gica sino agrupada por m todos, conductas o preferencias similares de los asesinos. Algunos casos son c lebres; otros apenas conocidos. Pero todos nos provocan horror, tal vez porque detr s de cada criminal vemos un instinto destructivo del que, aunque queramos, no nos podemos declarar del todo exentos.

The Christ Effect is the first phase in the mystery of the gospels: That a worldly man could call what is unseen as though it were seen, and see it come to pass. Thereby, he would transform the world of physical limitation, activating the substance of things hoped for, calling forth the evidence of things unseen. Christ is the worldly man consumed by an ecstatic faith. If in Christ's feeling, he desires what to the worldly man seems impossible, he will make the impossible possible. He would cause his world to conform to the effect he wished to experience. This is the work of God: To believe in the one whom He sent John 6:29]. -The Voice Crying in the Wilderness
"Despertar en otro cuerpo y ser acusado de la aparici n de la Gran Fisura y la reciente invasi n de los oscuros no era lo que me imaginaba llegar a ser. Pero que podr hacer si en mi pecho reside el poder causante de todo lo sucedido, y tambi n la soluci n." Pequeno manuscrito de Donferrote
Aparentemente menos cauta era la cosa perseguida que se mov a a n m s en silencio que el le n, a un centenar de pasos al frente del carn voro de color tostado, pues en lugar de rodear los claros naturales iluminados por la luna los cruzaba directamente, y por el tortuoso rastro que dejaba se pod a adivinar que buscaba estas v as que ofrec an menor resistencia, como muy bien pod a hacer, ya que, a diferencia de su fiero perseguidor, caminaba erecto sobre dos pies
Introduction à l’Histoire des Mongols de Fadl Allah Rashid ed-din

Edgard Blochet (1870-1937), the French orientalist, left his mark in several areas of Middle Eastern and Asian studies. In 1910 his introduction to Rashid al-Din’s Jami‘ al-tawarikh was published as volume XII in the E.J.W. Gibb Memorial Series. The Jami‘ al-tawarikh has been described as the first ‘world history’; written at the start of the fourteenth century, in the Mongol Ilkhanate in Persia, it describes cultures and major events in world history from China to Europe and in addition, it covers Mongol history.Introduction à l’Histoire des Mongols is a rich and complex work, and one that has been unduly lost sight of in more recent scholarship. Blochet is concerned chiefly with the transformation of the Mongol Empire from the death of its founder into a Chinese dynasty with complex relations with its former constituent territories in Transoxania, Russia and Iran in the period covered by the portion of the Jami‘ al-tawarikh that he was editing. This introductory volume does not offer conclusions, but it provides a valuable survey of the place of Rashid al-Din’s chronicle in the historical literature of the time and its impact on later historiography. Despite the very considerable body of work dedicated to Rashid al-Din, his chronicle, the history of Ilkhanid Iran and Yuan China and the linguistic analysis of the primary sources since Blochet’s time, this reprint of a work that has long been unavailable aims to encourage a re-evaluation of his pioneering contributions to the field. The original French text is re-published here, accompanied by a new preface by Charles Melville.
Two exquisite novellas on memory, perception, and shifting intimaciesIn “The Impostor,” a man travels with his wife through Italy and recalls a family legend about an uncle who was swallowed by Mt. Vesuvius. Preoccupied by this mysterious event, he grapples with the fallibility of memory and the enigma of time. In “Blue Butterflies of the Amazon,” a matriarch, rendered mute and paralyzed by a stroke, defenselessly observes the shifting dynamics between her only son, his wife, and her husband while they play out their complex intimacies before her.As the characters of The Impostor wander between worlds and states of mind, Edgard Telles Ribeiro elucidates their situations in surprisingly inventive ways that explore devastating questions of reality, consciousness, and loss.
