New Releases by Jane Goodall

Ein Wettstreit unter den Vögeln soll entscheiden, wer am höchsten fliegen kann. Der Adler mit seinen mächtigen Schwingen scheint Sieger zu werden. Doch etwas Überraschendes geschieht ...

British naturalist Jane Goodall provides an intimate portrait of a group of chimpanzees in the jungles of Africa which she has studied for many years.

* The first study of the intricate parallels between the heretical dramaturgy of Antonin Artaud (1896-1948) and the heresies of ancient Gnosticism. Artaud has been mythologized by influential post-structuralist critics as an icon of failure and madness, overlooking the self-mythologizing which permeates his vast oeuvre. This book uses ''heresy'' rather than ''madness'' to designate the impassioned thought processes which escape the terms oforthodox Western epistemology, and situates Artaud, as the most extravagant of heretics, in company with the Gnostics whose speculations served to define heresy in the beginnings of the Christian tradition. Assessing the implications for contemporary criticism, Jane Goodall argues that the neglectof these elements of Artaud''s work by recent theorists signals post-structuralism''s anxiety towards the powerful assault upon the founding tenets of Western thought presented in Gnostic drama.

Selections from the original book about chimpanzees.

A l''âge de cinq ans, Jane Goodall se passionnait déjà pour les animaux, passait des heures entières dans la nature, et rêvait d''en faire son métier. Son rêve s''est réalisé. Vingt ans plus tard, elle s''installa en pleine forêt africaine pour observer la vie sauvage des chimpanzés, ces animaux si extraordinairement intelligents. Elle fit des découvertes fabuleuses, et réussit même à devenir l''amie de toute une famille de chimpanzés. En vivant avec eux, elle comprit à quel point les chimpanzés nous ressemblent. C''est une aventure à la fois émouvante et pleine de surprise que nous raconte Jane Goodall. Car la vie dans la brousse n''est pas de tout repos : on y rencontre souvent des léopards, des lions, et il arrive même parfois qu''on trouve un serpent sous sa tente !
