A Calm Fire

A Calm Fire

Philippe Jaccottet

Seagull Books London Ltd
2018
sidottu
In these times of heartbreaking violence, clashing religions, and a seemingly never-ending narrative of dichotomy between East and West, wonder at the religion and culture of the Middle East can be in short supply. However, the lyrical and philosophical travel writing in Swiss poet Philippe Jaccottet’s Calm Fire rekindles it, lifting us out of our ordinary locales and stories of violent conflict in the Middle East. Jaccottet’s poetic descriptions explore the rich cultural worlds of Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, and Israel, giving us uncommon glimpses into countries so often associated with turmoil, death and destruction. Expressing a poet’s admiration for the ecstasies of faith and a philosopher’s skepticism of these seemingly transformative feelings, Jaccottet dives deep into the religious cultures of the places he visits. ? Ultimately, whether in his native Swiss Alps or among the cedars of Lebanon, the same question pervades Philippe Jaccottet’s work: How should we live? More than a simple palliative to a depressing news cycle, Calm Fire captures a true sense of place by celebrating and pondering ways of life through the immersive experience of travel.

Patches of Sunlight, Or of Shadow

Patches of Sunlight, Or of Shadow

Philippe Jaccottet

Seagull Books London Ltd
2021
sidottu
Philippe Jaccottet’s newest work follows in some ways the approach of Seedtime, his recent two-volume collection of notebooks. Similarly comprising on-the-spot jottings, philosophical reflections, literary commentary, dream narratives and sundry “notes,” this book nonetheless differs from the preceding volumes in that the Swiss poet includes more personal material than ever before. Drawing on unpublished notebooks from the years 1952–2005, Jacottet offers here passages about his family, the death of his father-in-law and of his mother, his encounters with other major poets—such as René Char, Francis Ponge, Jean Tardieu, and his friends Yves Bonnefoy and André du Bouchet—and his trips abroad, as well as, characteristically, his walks in the countryside around the village of Grignan, in the south of France, where he has lived since 1953. For a poet who has been notoriously discreet about his life, this book offers unexpected glimpses of the private man. Above all, the entries in this notebook show how one of the greatest European poets grapples with the discouraging elements of existence, counterbalancing them by recording fleeting perceptions in which “something else,” almost like a threshold, seems present.

An African Athens

An African Athens

Philippe-Joseph Salazar

Routledge
2014
nidottu
An African Athens offers an analysis of a new ecology of rhetoric--the reshaping of a nation into a democracy through rhetorical means. Author Philippe-Joseph Salazar provides a general view of issues as they have taken shape in the apartheid and post-apartheid South African experience, presenting the country as a remarkable stage for playing out the great themes of public deliberation and the rise of postmodern rhetorical democracy. Salazar's intimate vantage point focuses on the striking case of a democracy won at the negotiating table and also won every day in public deliberation. This volume presents a full-scale rhetorical analysis of a democratic transformation in post-Cold War era, and provides a study of the demise of apartheid and post-apartheid from the standpoint of political and public rhetoric and communication. In doing so, it serves as a template for similar enquiries in the rhetorical study of emerging democracies. Intended for readers engaged in the study of political and public rhetoric with an interest in how democracy takes shape, An African Athens highlights South Africa as a test case for global democracy, for rhetoric, and for the relevance of rhetoric studies in a postmodern democracy.

What Hangs in the Balance: The Case for Principled, Ethical, Competent, and Courageously Selfless Leadership

What Hangs in the Balance: The Case for Principled, Ethical, Competent, and Courageously Selfless Leadership

Philippe Johnson

Resolve Editions
2025
sidottu
The actions or inactions of elected and appointed leaders determine whether the people they serve flourish or suffer. What hangs in the balance is not just quality of life, but often life itself. Unprincipled and unethical leadership puts at risk mission accomplishment, good governance, public trust in democratic institutions, national security, and even the rule of law. Over the course of Philippe Johnson's twenty-four-year career as a United States Air Force officer, he learned to appreciate how flawed and ineffective leaders can still provide valuable lessons for all of us. His thorough and candid analysis of Donald Trump's social media posts and conduct as president--and how they were an aberration in both style and substance--sets a foundation for leaders to embrace and implement myriad leadership traits and competencies required for success in public and private sector organizations. Rather than criticizing specific policies, Johnson's analysis focuses on leadership evaluation and practical imperatives for embracing each of the competencies. Including insights from contributing subject matter experts and the wisdom of contemporary and historical luminaries, Johnson provides a fascinating and sobering leadership critique in which readers will: Discover why character traits such as humility, empathy, respect for dignity, and self-control matter in every arena and bolster crucial leadership competencies. Appreciate how one's fundamental leadership responsibilities promote core values and defend democratic principles and institutions. Take away positive examples of seeking counsel and expertise that support sound decision-making. Understand how trust and accountability are fostered through disciplined and ethical behavior. Experience and benefit from real-world examples of what not-to-do while also being inspired by recent examples of courageously selfless leadership. Differentiate between principled and unprincipled loyalty while countering undue influence and abuse of authority. Experience behaviors associated with three personality disorders that undermine selfless leadership and create toxic workplaces. A nation's citizens need and deserve exceptional leadership. By providing guidelines for principled, ethical, competent, and courageously selfless leadership, What Hangs in the Balance leaves readers well poised and inspired to positively and profoundly impact the lives of those they serve.

The Pilgrim`s Bowl – (Giorgio Morandi)

The Pilgrim`s Bowl – (Giorgio Morandi)

Philippe Jaccottet; John Taylor

SEAGULL BOOKS LONDON LTD
2022
nidottu
A meditation on the work of Italian artist Giorgio Morandi and its power to evoke a complexity of emotions and astonishment. In The Pilgrim’s Bowl, Swiss poet Philippe Jaccottet examines Giorgio Morandi’s ascetic still lifes, contrasting his artistic approach to the life philosophies of two authors whom he cherished, Pascal and Leopardi, and reflecting on the few known autobiographical details we know about Morandi. In this small and erudite tome, Jaccottet draws us into the very heart of the artist’s calm and strangely haunting oeuvre. In his literary criticism, Jaccottet is known for deeply engaging with the work of his fellow poets and tenaciously seeking the essence of their poetics. In this, his only book-length essay devoted to an artist, his critical prose likewise blends empathy, subtle discernment, and a determination to pinpoint, or at least glimpse, the elusive underlying qualities of Morandi's deceptively simple, dull-toned yet mysteriously luminous paintings. The Pilgrim’s Bowl is a remarkably elucidating study based on a profound admiration for and a dialogue with Morandi’s oeuvre.

Obscurity

Obscurity

Philippe Jaccottet; Tess Lewis

SEAGULL BOOKS LONDON LTD
2022
nidottu
The story of an intense encounter between two men who were once very close and now must grapple with the fractured ideals that separate them. After several years abroad, a young man returns to his hometown to seek the man he calls master. This master, a brilliant philosopher, had made the young man into a disciple before sending him out into the world to put his teachings into practice. Returning three years later, the disciple finds his master has abandoned his wife and child and moved into a squalid one-room flat, cutting himself off completely from his former life. Disillusioned and reeling from the discovery, the young man spends an entire night listening to his master’s bitter denunciation of the ideals they once shared. Written in 1960 during Jaccottet’s period of poetic paralysis, the novel seeks to harmonize the best and worst of human nature—reconciling despair, falsehood, and lethargy of spirit with the need to remain open to beauty, truth, and the essential goodness of humankind. Translated by Tess Lewis, Obscurity is Jaccottet’s only work of fiction, one that will introduce new readers to the multifaceted skills of this major poet.

"La Clarté Notre–Dame" and "The Last Book of the Madrigals"

"La Clarté Notre–Dame" and "The Last Book of the Madrigals"

Philippe Jaccottet; John Taylor; José–flore Tappy

SEAGULL BOOKS LONDON LTD
2023
sidottu
The last works of the last great classic European poet now available in English. In his 96th and final year, and with the help of the poet José-Flore Tappy, celebrated Swiss poet Philippe Jaccottet finished two manuscripts-in-progress, one in prose and one in poetry, both of which are presented in this volume in John Taylor’s sensitive translation. The first work, “La Clarté Notre-Dame,” takes off from the “pure, weightless, fragile, yet crystal-clear tinkling” of a monastery bell heard during a walk with friends. With this thought-provoking sound as a leitmotiv, Jaccottet looks back on a life of writing, reading, and scrutinizing humankind’s existential and spiritual aspirations. He sets these concerns against his equally lifelong preoccupation with “the rise of evil in today’s world,” notably in Syria. Composed in a baroque style, the verse poems collected in “The Last Book of Madrigals” explore love. Jaccottet returns in spirit to Italy, the country which for him symbolizes happiness and sensuality. As he evokes amorous attraction, he conjures up Monteverdi’s madrigals, one of Dante’s little-known rhymes, and Giuseppe Ungaretti’s last poem. Reinventing and commenting on these works, Jaccottet meditates on old age, approaching death, despair, and the persistence of love. Together, both works grapple with devastating darkness, but as Tappy observes in her afterword, however, Jaccottet’s “greatest force” was “his perpetually renewed desire, during the most terrifying night, to head for the light.”

The first volume of notes and reflections from one of Switzerland’s most prominent and prolific men of letters.Seedtime—Jaccottet’s notebooks—is an especially good introduction to this leading francophone Swiss author, containing the poet’s observations of the natural world and his reflections on literature, art, music, and the human condition. In these explorations, he returns again and again to the fundamental, focusing his prodigious talents on describing the exact shade of light on a meadow, the sound of running water, the color of cherry and almond blossoms, or the cry of a bird in the stillness before dawn. In this translation by Tess Lewis, English readers will finally be able to join this poet as we follow in his footsteps of fifty years ago and find the still-viable seeds of his delicate and tenacious verse.
