The Amsterdam Lawyer

The Amsterdam Lawyer

René Appel

Genius Book Company
2023
pokkari
Up-and-coming Amsterdam lawyer David Driessen thinks he's hit the jackpot when a wealthy client showers him with praise, glamour, and plenty of money. But David learns far too late that every gift from the shady realtor comes with a catch-and a price tag. As his gambling addiction, his constant need for cash, and his wife's infidelities combine to drag him deeper and deeper into his client's twisted world of money and despair, David struggles to stay ahead of it all... before his time runs out.In The Amsterdam Lawyer, Ren Appel-two-time winner of the Golden Noose, The Netherlands' equivalent of the Mystery Writers of America's Edgar Allan Poe Award-once again demonstrates the skill that led leading Dutch daily newspaper Algemeen Dagblad to proclaim him "the godfather of the Dutch psychological thriller.""A fascinating novel, bubbling over with greed, mistrust, and ruthlessness." Gijs Korevaar, Algemeen Dagblad"Ren Appel is a first-rate Dutch crime writer. The Amsterdam Lawyer is a compelling and twisted legal thriller, the first of what will hopefully be many of his books to appear in English." Steve Steinbock, reviewer for Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine

Akashic Books continues its award-winning series of original noir anthologies, launched in 2004 with Brooklyn Noir. Each book comprises all new stories, each one set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the respective city.Brand-new stories by: Michael Berg, Anneloes Timmerije, Murat Isik, Ren Appel, Josh Pachter, Simon de Waal, Hanna Bervoets, Karin Amatmoekrim, Christine Otten, Mensje van Keulen, Max van Olden, Theo Capel, Loes den Hollander, Herman Koch, Abdelkader Benali, and Walter van den Berg.From the introduction by Ren Appel and Josh Pachter: Amsterdam has the amenities and, to a certain extent, the feel of a major world city, but one of its most attractive features is its relatively small size. It's easy to navigate on feet, by bike, and via its excellent public transportation network, especially with the semicircular perimeter of its famous Grachtengordel, or ring of concentric canals.Like any other metropolis, though, Amsterdam also has its dark side, its shadowy corners--in other words, there is also an Amsterdam noir. No matter how beautiful, vital, and cheery a city might be, pure human emotions such as greed, jealousy, and the thirst for revenge will rear their ugly heads...with all their negative consequences. Amsterdam is a multidimensional city, populated by a wide assortment of social groups, and not all of those groups agree on what constitutes normal social values and mores. This results in a lively mix...and, as you will see, in problems.

Language Contact and Bilingualism

Language Contact and Bilingualism

Rene Appel; Pieter C. Muysken

Amsterdam University Press
2006
nidottu
What happens – sociologically, linguistically, educationally, politically – when more than one language is in regular use in a community? How do speakers handle these languages simultaneously, and what influence does this language contact have on the languages involved? Although most people in the world use more than one language in everyday life, the approach to the study of language has usually been that monolingualism is the norm. The recent interest in bilingualism and language contact has led to a number of new approaches, based on research in communities in many different parts of the world. This book draws together this diverse research, looking at examples from many different situations, to present the topic in any easily accessible form. Language contact is looked at from four distinct perspectives. The authors consider bilingual societies; bilingual speakers; language use in the bilingual community; finally language itself (do languages change when in contact with each other? Can they borrow rules of grammar, or just words? How can new languages emerge from language contact?). The result is a clear, concise synthesis offering a much-needed overview of this lively area of language study.

François-René de Chateaubriand

University of Toronto Press
1957
pokkari
If the writings of Chateaubriand, one above all is both most representative of its author and most significant for reader and student alike. René, a milestone of literature, presents the first genuine and complete picture of that state of spiritual frustration and moral isolation known as le mal du siècle, its causes, symptoms, ravages, and cure. Chateaubriand, a prodigious artist with an incomparable style, enjoys the further distinction of having fused in his work the end of one epoch and the beginning of another. It is sometimes forgotten that these epochs are not only French but also European in scope, and their reverberations as expressed by Chateaubriand have affected almost every subsequent writer of importance up to the present. Chateaubriand is often called the father of romanticism. It may be claimed with equal reason that he is the grandfather of the neo-romanticism of our time. This edition of René contains, as well as a full introduction, notes covering the allusions to place names, events, and personages, and a complete vocabulary.

Ren es una novela corta de Fran ois-Ren de Chateaubriand, que apareci por primera vez en 1802 (junto con otra novela corta: Atala). Su xito fue inmediato e inesperado y su impacto en las primeras etapas del romanticismo solo es comparable a la obra de Goethe, especialmente con la obra "Las desventuras del joven Werther". Ren , al igual que la famosa novela alemana de Goethe, se trata de un joven franc s sensible, apasionado pero melanc lico, que se encuentra en desacuerdo con la sociedad contempor nea. Ren , agobiado y desesperadamente infeliz, huye de Europa y se refugia entre los Natchez de Louisiana, una tribu india de los Estados Unidos. En esta estancia, pasa mucho tiempo solitario, distante de las gentes, y solo en contacto directo con Chactas, su padre adoptivo, y con el Padre Sou l, misionero del fuerte de Rosal a, quienes lo invitan a abrir su coraz n, pero pasa mucho tiempo para que Ren aceda a revelar si agobiante vida. Cuenta que su nacimiento le cost la vida de su madre. Fue criado en el castillo de su padre, junto con su hermana Amelia, la nica mujer a la que hab a amado. A la muerte de su padre, Ren , desconcertado, se sinti atra do por la vida mon stica. Entonces decidi viajar a Italia, Grecia, Inglaterra, pero estos eventos no calmaron el dolor de su alma. De regreso en Francia, se instal en un suburbio de Par s, en donde se enfrent al aburrimiento, luego, en el campo, en donde tampoco alcanz la paz. Su hermana se inclin por la vida religiosa, pero muri poco tiempo despu s, fue entonces cuando decidi zarpar, huyendo de Europa y logrando llegar a Am rica...

René Blum and The Ballets Russes

René Blum and The Ballets Russes

Chazin-Bennahum Judith

Oxford University Press Inc
2011
sidottu
The biography of a fascinating cultural hero, René Blum and the Ballets Russes uncovers the events in the life of the enigmatic and brilliant writer and producer who perished in the Holocaust. Brother of Léon Blum, the first socialist prime minister of France, René Blum was a passionate and prominent littérateur. He was the editor of the chic literary journal Gil Blas where he met such celebrated figures as Claude Debussy, Pierre Bonnard, Edouard Vuillard, André Gide, and Paul Valéry. As author Judith Chazin-Bennahum's research illustrates, Blum actually arranged for the publication of Proust's Swann's Way. But Blum's accomplishments and legacy do not end there: after enlisting in World War I, he won the Croix de Guerre and became a national hero. And Blum resurrected the Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo after Diaghilev's death. Tragically, he was arrested in 1941 during a roundup of Jewish intellectuals and ultimately sent to Auschwitz. Based on a treasure trove of previously undiscovered letters and documents, this thoroughly researched narrative not only tells the poignant story of Blum's life but also illustrates Blum's central role in the development of dance in the United States. Indeed, Blum's efforts to save his ballet company eventually helped to bring many of the world's greatest dancers and choreographers — among them Fokine, Balanchine, and Nijinska — to American ballet stages, shaping the path of dance in the United States for years to come.

René Descartes: The Complete Correspondence in English Translation, Volume I

René Descartes: The Complete Correspondence in English Translation, Volume I

Oxford University Press
2024
sidottu
René Descartes: The Complete Correspondence in English Translation is the first complete English translation of the extant correspondence of the polymath René Descartes, who excelled in all areas of philosophy, the sciences, and mathematics. The translation is based on the best available editions, modified by several other sources. It is accompanied by an editorial apparatus consisting of cross-references and brief biographies of the correspondents. Descartes' correspondence elaborates his views, providing a crucial resource for students, teachers, and scholars in philosophy, history of philosophy, and history of science and mathematics. Volume I presents correspondence from the period 1619 to 1638. The letters begin with exchanges between Descartes and the physico-mathematician Isaac Beeckman, the essayist Guez de Balzac, the lens maker Jean Ferrier, and Descartes' future primary correspondent Marin Mersenne. It includes letters to high ranking Oratorians. One can also see the beginnings of Descartes' relations with Constantijn Huygens, who will be Descartes' other chief correspondent. One can also trace the developments of Descartes' early unpublished works on metaphysics, physics, and human biology, together with his reaction to the condemnation of Galileo by the Catholic Church. The letters show developments in Descartes' construction and publication of the Discourse on Method, together with the essays Dioptrics, Meteors, and Geometry. This results in an explosion of letters from and to various critics such as the professor of medicine Vopiscus Fortunatus Plemp, the astrologer Jean Baptiste Morin, the mathematicians Pierre Petit, Gilles Personne de Roberval, Pierre de Fermat, and many others.
