An updated introduction to the religions developed in the Caribbean region Creole Religions of the Caribbean offers a comprehensive introduction to the overlapping religions that have developed as a result of the creolization process. Caribbean peoples drew on the variants of Christianity brought by European colonizers, as well as on African religious and healing traditions and the remnants of Amerindian practices, to fashion new systems of belief. From Vodou, Santería, Regla de Palo, the Abakuá Secret Society, and Obeah to Quimbois and Espiritismo, the volume traces the historical–cultural origins of the major Creole religions, as well as the newer traditions such as Rastafari. This third edition updates the scholarship by featuring new critical approaches that have been brought to bear on the study of religion, such as queer studies, environmental studies, and diasporic studies. The third edition also expands the regional considerations of the diaspora to the US Latinx communities that are influenced by Creole spiritual practices, taking into account the increased significance of material culture?art, music, literature, and healing practices influenced by Creole religions.

Jean Paulhan’s Lettre aux directeurs de la Résistance was an important and contentious statement about the influence of communism in intellectual and literary circles. On publication in 1952, the pamphlet revived debates over collaboration with the Nazi authorities that had dominated French society since the Liberation, and that still have important echoes today. In this new edition, John Flower provides a full contextualising introduction. He also examines Paulhan’s evolution during the period and assesses his postion alongside that of other key figures: in particular Mauriac and Camus. The volume makes an important contribution to our understanding of this turbulent period and provides a documentary history of the post-war political and literary debates in Paris.

Few books have been as universally cherished by children and adults alike as The Little Prince. A beautiful slip-cased gift edition of this touching and wise classic children's book, with the original translation by Katherine Woods and full-colour illustrations. A pilot stranded in the desert awakes one morning to see the most extraordinary little fellow standing before him. “‘Please…’ asks the stranger, ‘draw me a sheep…’” And the pilot realises that when life’s events are too difficult to understand, there is no choice but to succumb to their mysteries. He pulls out a pencil and paper … and thus begins this wise and enchanting fable that, in teaching the secret of what is really important in life, has changed the world forever for its readers. This stunning new collector’s edition of the classic children’s book celebrates the original English translation of Saint-Exupéry’s work by Katherine Woods, with original colour illustrations that will capture the hearts of readers of all ages. Featuring bonus non-fiction content, exploring the history of The Little Prince, the real-life plane crash that inspired the story, the life of the author and more! Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900–1944) was born in Lyons, France. He wrote The Little Prince in the United States during a two-year self-imposed exile from occupied France. A year after the book’s publication in 1943, Saint-Exupéry disappeared over the Mediterranean while flying a reconnaissance mission for his French air squadron. Best known throughout the world as the author and illustrator of The Little Prince, Saint-Exupéry wrote several other books that have also become classics of world literature. Katherine Woods (1886–1968) produced the original English translation of The Little Prince in 1943. It was later followed by several other English translations, but her classic translation is treasured by fans and is often considered to be the definitive English translation. Her poetic translation perfectly captures the enchantment and charm of Saint-Exupéry’s storytelling.

The collections of the Austrian Film Museum feature a wide range of artworks, objects, apparatus and historical documents. Picturing and describing 50 artifacts from these collections, the book suggests a non-dogmatic reading of film history. The 50 selected items represent a rough timeline, from the pre-cinematic moving image arts to pixelized film grain, tracing a material culture deeply entangled with the history of the 20th century – and far from the reductive idea of cinematic "glamour" that is so often associated with movie memorabilia. The images and texts describe a territory where private lives and politics, art and terror, famous and marginalized films, and desired and despised objects, all engage in conversation with each other. This picture book in 50 chapters begins with a cinema and ends with a cactus (or vice versa).

Première édition bilingue anglo-française de l’œuvre de John Wilmot, comte de Rochester (1647-1680), l’ouvrage qui offre un appareil critique a pour objectif de faire connaître le poète au public français tout en poursuivant l’entreprise de la réhabilitation du « méchant comte » commencée outre-Manche il y a un demi-siècle. Une longue introduction insiste sur l’environnement littéraire et philosophique du poète où les sources du mouvement européen du libertinage de pensée prennent toute leur place. Florence Lautel-Ribstein propose en outre une réflexion approfondie sur l’approche traductive de textes parfois très complexes en raison de leur caractère poétique, de leur dimension ontologique ou de leur registre parodique. Plus de quatre-vingt textes lyriques, satiriques, philosophiques ainsi qu’une tragédie forment le corpus rochesterien à la paternité quasi certaine. Ils sont présentés ici avec leur traduction en regard. Chaque œuvre est accompagnée de l’historique de la publication de ses premières versions manuscrites ou imprimées, de notes textuelles et explicatives abondantes, ainsi que d’un commentaire qui, dans certains cas, est le premier du genre. L’introduction ainsi que les notices, notes et commentaires de cette édition sont rédigés en français. The introduction to this edition, as well as the annotations and commentaries, are written in French.
