The tears of the mysterious forest
At the start of the school year in Massata, Galia, an enticing young lady showed up in one of the university classes. Her homeric intelligence and her magical beauty would make her the focus, the subject of monologues and desire. Her allure enticed lecturers and mates, the brightest of the class included. They found her interesting and desirable but mysterious and reluctant about her life. The day before her birthday, the young lady decided to open up to the one she was already falling for. That night, something heart-rending happened.

A multitude of Sins. Richard Ford
A sequel to Rock Springs and Women with Men, the collection of short stories entitled A Multitude of Sins was published in 2001 and immediately achieved worldwide recognition. If this series of ten short stories seems to feature adultery, it would be a major mistake to believe that the stories can be reduced to what is actually a side issue or a pretext to something else, sometimes of much greater importance. As often with great writers, Richard Ford tackles several other topics along with the sin of unfaithfulness which is a base camp from which to go further up into the knowledge of human deficiency, lack and want. Pondering these sins, Richard Ford lays them all bare while often unveiling the issue of the story right from the beginning, instead of cautiously preserving it as a last chance literary trick to pull it off at the fast moment. Showing insight through observation, his writing is deceptive in as much as it seems natural and easygoing when it requires close analysis and several successive readings to yield up its literary and humane secrets. The comparison some critics have made to Chekhov is not overblown and Agregation students, certainly among the most perceptive readers in the world, should naturally enjoy both reading and studying A Multitude of Sins, pleasure and scholarship being complementary, not antagonistic. The exclusive interview of Richard Ford at the end of the book will certainly be appreciated by Agregation students, who will thus be able to finish off their knowledge of Ford's works.

Les derniers jours du Tullianum. The last days of Tullianum
Je vis dans une pièce. A moins que ce ne soit elle qui vive en moi. Régulièrement quelqu'un vient. Raclement de ferraille, craquement d'os, gémissements rauques, autant de bruits annonçant sa venue à chaque fois. Ses passages sont brefs. Il ne reste pas. Derrière lui, j'entends la porte qui se referme. Après sept années d'une guerre sanglante contre les légions romaines, Jugurtha mourut en prison, à Rome, vers l'an 104 avant Jésus-Christ. Avec lui s'éteignit la lignée des "Aguellid amokrane", ces grands rois numides qui ont écrit en lettres d'or l'Histoire ancienne de l'Afrique du Nord. Live in a room. Unless it is the room which lives in me. Regularly somebody comes. Scraping of scrap, crackle of bones, hoarse groans, so many noises announcing his coming every time. His passages are brief. He does not stay. Behind him, I hear the door which closes. After seven years of a bloody war against the Roman legions, Yugurthen died in prison, in Rome, at about the year 104 before Christ. With him went out the lineage of "Aguellid amokrane", these great kings Numides who wrote in gold letters the ancient History of North Africa.

Third World Tourism Research 1950-1984
Since the early fifties tourism to developing countries has dramatically increased and in many a developing country it is now a sector of vital importance. This increase has been reflected in an equally impressive rate of growth in scholarly output. Despite this, there are as yet no indexed guides providing in a single volume easy access to the rapidly expanding body of knowledge. This bibliography seeks to fill the gap. It covers a period of 35 years and comprises more than 2000 titles in English, French, German and Dutch, on tourism in the Third World and in richer countries such as Greece, Yugoslavia, Portugal and Spain. The titles are chronologically arranged according to the year of publication, and for each year in alphabetical order. To assist readers the titles are catalogued by three indexes : an author and editor index, a geographical index and a subject index.

Reading Life / Writing Fiction
Studies of the American novel of the 20s and 30s have tended to concentrate either on works by men (Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Steinbeck), or on those written in the tradition of experimental modernism (Stein, Faulkner, Djuna Barnes). Based on the conviction that women writers of the period fictionalized their own private and public experiences and concerns, the present study offers an analytical introduction to some hundred novels by more than thirty writers. Its aim is to recover a significant corpus of forgotten or ignored texts, which will make a reconsideration of the centers of interest of American modernism unavoidable.

Otis Redding
Né en 1941 en Géorgie, sur la plantation où travaillait son père ,Otis Redding est disparu tragiquement vingt-six ans plus tard dans un accident d'avion. Entre temps, il est passé de clubs miteux de Macon, où il succcède à James Brown et à Little Richard, à la scène du festival de Monterey, où il côtoie Janis Joplin et Jimi Hendrix. Sa vie se raconte comme un grand roman de l'Amérique des années 1960, celle de la lutte pour les droits civiques, du mouvement hippie et de la guerre au Vietnam. Il a incarné comme nul autre la soul de Memphis et des studios Stax, tout en faisant oublier le ghetto ethnique et les barrières musicales.

Douglas Gordon / Alberto Giacometti
Rien ne prédispose Douglas Gordon à rencontrer Alberto Giacometti. L'année 1966 où ce dernier décède à l'hôpital de Chur en Suisse est celle qui voit Douglas Gordon naître à Glasgow en Ecosse. On pourrait s'arrêter là et considérer que la chronologie de ces deux jalons de l'existence justifie à lui seul de réunir deux artistes dont le travail est particulièrement hanté par ce qui nous ramène à notre condition humaine et à la crainte justifiée d'une mort certaine. Et pourtant... Nothing made Douglas Gordon susceptible to meet Alberto Giacometti. 1966, the year when he died in the hospital in Coire in Switzerland was the year Douglas Gordon was born in Glasgow in Scotland. One could stop there and consider that the chronology of those two landmarks of existence alone justifies uniting two artists whose work is haunted particularly by what leads us back to our human condition and the justified fear of a certain death. And yet...

Oh, my dear !
À 50 ans, Al Greenwood n'aspire plus qu'à une chose dans la vie : la tranquillité. Chauffeur de taxi dans un paisible petit village côtier d'Angleterre, rien ne l'empêche de parvenir à son but, si ce n'est son encombrante femme, Audrey. Aussi décide-t-il un jour de s'en débarrasser. Le scénario est vite trouvé : profitant d'une de ses promenades quotidiennes, il la précipitera du haut d'une falaise. Aussitôt dit, aussitôt fait. Tout s'est passé comme prévu, ou presque : en rentrant à la maison, Al découvre Audrey tranquillement assise devant la cheminée. Qui a-t-il alors jeté dans le vide ? Commence pour Al un long cauchemar, dont il est encore très loin de soupçonner l'issue. Mais une chose est sûre : sa tranquillité s'éloigne à vue d'œil… « Ce polar jouissif, petite perle d'humour noir, plonge dans de vilains coups bas, de terribles quiproquos et quelques coups de théâtre fumeux. Un roman méchant et mauvais esprit, comme seuls les Anglais savent les trousser. » Marie Rogatien – Le Figaro

PIONEERS OF REPRESENTATION THEORY: FROBENIUS, BURNSIDE, SCHUR, AND BRAUER
The year 1897 was marked by two important mathematical events: the publication of the first paper on representations of finite groups by Ferdinand Georg Frobenius ( 1849-1917) and the appearance of the first treatise in English on the theory of finite groups by William Burnside (1852-1927). Burnside soon developed his own approach to representations of finite groups. In the next few years, working independently, Frobenius and Burnside explored the new subject and its applications to finite group theory.
They were soon joined in this enterprise by Issai Schur (1875-194 1) and some years later, by Richard Brauer (1901-1977). These mathematicians' pioneering research is the subject of this book. It presents an account of the early history of representation theory through an analysis of the published work of the principals and others with whom the principals' work was interwoven. Also included are biographical sketches and enough mathematics to enable readers to follow the development of the subject. An introductory chapter contains some of the results involving characters of finite abelian groups by Lagrange, Gauss, and Dirichlet, which were part of the mathematical tradition from which Frobenius drew his inspiration.
This book presents the early history of an active branch of mathematics. It includes enough detail to enable readers to learn the mathematics along with the history. The volume would be a suitable text for a course on representations of finite groups, particularly one emphasizing an historical point of view.

Western European Integration in the 1980s
The Single European Act was formally approved by the European Council in February 1986. When Maastricht hit the headlines in the early 1990s, the Single European Act instantly became history. However, it was the Single Market programme - the main content of the Single European Act - and the years of preparation leading up to it which really gave new momentum to European integration after the "Eurosclerosis" of the 1970s. The process which led to the Single European Act was never publicly discussed. The architects and initiators of the Single Market have not become household names, however, it is these protagonists and their efforts which are the subject of this book. With information gathered from extensive interviews with key players and EC documentation, the author reviews the forces behind the acceleration of European integration.

Italian Subalterns in Egypt between Emigration and Colonialism (1861-1937). Textes en français et anglais
Over the last years, we have witnessed a renewal in the studies on the Italian community which formed in Egypt in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Contrary to the historiographical paradigm that remained dominant for over a century, a novel approach - essentially based on a less ideological interpretation of archival sources - tends to provide a much more complex, less apologetic, and more horizontal reading of the dynamics within and among foreign/migrant communities. This work belongs to this "new" research wave. By rediscovering the originally Gramscian concept of "subaltern classes", it aims at re-centring the context in which the "subalterns" of Italian origin lived and acted as the focus of our interest. At once, it aims at both making such context relevant and disclosing its complexity. It privileges an approach that takes into account different and overlapping categories and social identities, with particular attention to the relationships with the many different local communities.

Victory will be next ! A Diary, 6th June - 10th August 1944
The story takes place in Brittany, focussing on Rennes and Redon, i.e. about 200 kilometres (125 miles) from the D-Day landing beaches in Normandy, about fifteen minutes by plane as the crow flies. The months of June and July 1944 were very difficult for the allied troops. They relentlessly fought to block German reinforcements coming from the West and the South, which resulted in constant bombing and machine-gunning of the rear boundary of the front line, the area where we were living. As civilians, we did not take part in the fighting and everyday life alternated between calm periods, on the verge of being "normal", and tragic moments of great tension. ''Victory will be next ! " is a set of notes written at that moment in time, day by day, by a fifteen-year-old boy. They are, obviously, fragmented, even a little naive, But they are nonetheless a testimony of a snapshot of history within the larger picture of WWII. They should be taken as such.

Sons of Fantasy
When we were children, we believed anything was possible... This book is a fantasy novel originally written for children. But, if you are a father or a mother, a teacher or a writer, if you still have some bits of fantasy in your soul... then, this novel is for you too. We all know how geniuses changed the world with their childlike Imagination, and how people use creative thinking to solve problems. This is a story about hope ; "Sons of Fantasy" shares the story of M. Alger, a father grieving for the loss of his dear wife, who left him with two beautiful kids. Norris and Socrates were adjusting to life without Mom... But things got more complicated when one of them was paralyzed because of a severe psychological trauma due to an overdose of fantasy... This family has a very interesting neighbor who lives a few feet away. He has a weird little hobby, reading books in the most unlikely places... He for example travelled to Romania and read "Dracula" by Bram Stoker in the Castelul Bran Castle, because it's said that the main character Dracula lived in it. And then all of a sudden he stopped travelling... He got a month ago a big long hat that belongs to the greatest witch that lived during the middle ages, "Moje Gayla". In fact, after being burned by the church, one of her relatives kept her belongings inside a wooden box... and in the twentieth century one of her grandchildren donated the box to "The Magic Square Museum" in London. Genius bought the hat at a public auction as an art relic to decorate one of his rooms. Could this weird neighbor be the reason of Socrates' psychological trauma ? Or maybe he is the one who will cure him ? And what has the hat to do with all this ?
