L'amour des Maytree

release date: Jan 01, 2008
L'amour des Maytree
Comment l''amour traverse-t-il une vie marquée par une naissance, une séparation et une mort ? A son retour de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Toby Maytree rencontre Lou, une jeune diplômée, qui se laisse séduire par ce charpentier-poète trentenaire. Ils se marient et s''installent au sein de la communauté d''écrivains et d''artistes non-conformistes qui ont élu domicile à la pointe de Cap Cod. Ils y élèvent leur fils, un temps aidés par Demy, leur amie bohème...Dans une langue économe et élégante, Annie Dillard raconte les décennies d''amour, de rêves et les désillusions de la famille Maytree. Elle fait ainsi de l''histoire de ce mariage à la fois exceptionnelle et universelle, minuscule et monumentale, un roman unique.

Vivir, escribir
Por primera vez en nuestro país se realiza la traducción de esta obra de Annie Dillard. En ella, la autora nos habla su oficio y lo hace con voz pausada, a la vez que despliega una gran carga de pasión. Una de las pocas cosas que sé acerca de la escritura es ésta: gástalo todo, dispáralo a bocajarro, piérdelo sobre la marcha, una y todas las veces que sea preciso. No conserves lo que parece provechoso para más adelante, para otra fase del libro: dalo, dalo todo, dalo ahora. El impulso de reservar algo bueno para un lugar aparentemente mejor es la señal que se necesita para gastarlo ahora, sin tardanza. Ya aparecerá algo distinto, puede que mejor, más adelante. Estas cosas se llenan por detrás, por abajo, como el agua de un pozo. Del mismo modo, el impulso de guardar para uno lo que ha aprendido no sólo es vergonzoso, sino que es destructivo. Todo lo que no dé uno libre y abundantemente termina por perdérsele. Uno abre un buen día la caja fuerte y se encuentra con cenizas.

Watch for the Light

release date: Jan 01, 2001
Watch for the Light
Though Christians the world over make yearly preparations for Lent, there''s a conspicuous lack of good books for that other great spiritual season: Advent. All the same, this four-week period leading up to Christmas is making a comeback as growing numbers reject shopping-mall frenzy and examine the deeper meaning of the season. Ecumenical in scope, these fifty devotions invite the reader to contemplate the great themes of Christmas and the significance that the coming of Jesus has for each of us - not only during Advent, but every day. Whether dipped into at leisure or used on a daily basis, Watch for the Light gives the phrase "holiday preparations" new depth and meaning. Includes writings by Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt, Sylvia Plath, J. B. Phillips, Friedrich Wilhelm Foerster, Henri Nouwen, Bernard of Clairvaux, Kathleen Norris, Meister Eckhart, St. Thomas Aquinas, Karl Rahner, Isaac Penington, Madeleine L''Engle, Alfred Delp, Loretta Ross-Gotta, William Stringfellow, J. Heinrich Arnold, Edith Stein, Philip Britts, Jane Kenyon, John Howard Yoder, Emmy Arnold, Karl Barth, Oscar Romero, William Willimon, Johann Christoph Arnold, Gail Godwin, Leonardo Boff, G. M. Hopkins, Evelyn Underhill, Dorothy Day, Brennan Manning, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Romano Guardini, Annie Dillard, Martin Luther, St. John Chrysostom, Giovanni Papini, Dorothee Soelle, C. S. Lewis, Gustavo Guti rrez, Philip Yancey, J. T. Clement, Thomas Merton, Eberhard Arnold, Ernesto Cardenal, T. S. Eliot, John Donne, Gian Carlo Menotti and J rgen Moltmann.

Außer der Zeit

Au présent

release date: Jan 01, 2001
Au présent
Face au chaos, à l''énigme du monde, Au présent est une interrogation en forme d''éclatement, où s''entrecroisent des fragments de récits autobiographiques, de chroniques et de lectures, des réflexions philosophiques et théologiques, des descriptions de la nature ou encore des statistiques. Cette tentative de décryptage se déploie au travers de thèmes récurrents repris tout au long des sept chapitres comme autant de champs d''exploration. La grâce rivalise avec l''horreur, le mysticisme se mêle aux nombres, l''individu affronte la multitude, les vivants marchent sur la tête des morts. En un subtil télescopage du passé et du présent, Annie Dillard crée une chambre d''écho où les questions se répercutent et s''amplifient peu à peu : Quelle est la place de l''individu au sein de la multitude ? Que sommes-nous au regard de l''éternité ? Dieu est-il à l''origine du mal ? Comment vivre ? A ces questions irrésolues répond la compassion de l''auteur qui de la détresse et du mystère du monde fait jaillir des fragments d''épiphanie.

Inventing the Truth

Inventing the Truth
The author of On Writing Well presents stories and advice on the writing process from Frank McCourt, Annie Dillard, and many more. For anyone who enjoys reading memoirs—or is thinking about writing one—this collection offers a master class from nine distinguished authors: Russell Baker, Jill Ker Conway, Annie Dillard, Ian Frazier, Henry Louis Gates Jr., Alfred Kazin, Frank McCourt, Toni Morrison, and Eileen Simpson. “Annie Dillard talks of her Pittsburgh childhood and her moment of waking to the world outside. Russell Baker explains why his first draft of Growing Up was so bad that he had to start over again. Alfred Kazin finds that writing about his Brooklyn childhood connected him with the great tradition of Emerson and Whitman. Toni Morrison tells why her fiction uses not only family history but the slave narratives of her people. Lewis Thomas traces the evolution of his singular self from primeval bacteria to contemporary scientist whose drive to be useful is the most fundamental of all biological necessities. . . . Delightful and instructive.” —Library Journal
