THE AKIRA BOOK KATSUHIRO OTOMO: THE MOVIE AND THE MANGA: A CRITICAL STUDY by Jeremy Mark Robinson This is a book about Akira - the manga of 1982-90 and the movie of 1988, and about the creator of Akira, the ge
Ce roman est un monstre magnifique, d'une autrice qui a marqué au fer blanc la littérature. C’est un électrochoc romantique et gothique, l’histoire d’un être terrible, créé de toutes pièces par un scientifique obsédé par l'immortalité et les chairs en décomposition. C’est aussi une œuvre radicale qui nous parle d’abandon, et de la soif intarissable d'affection et de compréhension qui nous étreint. Mary Shelley, dans son feu juvénile – elle écrit ce roman à 18 ans –, a donné vie à un livre mythique qui ne cesse de dépasser les frontières du roman d’horreur – elle écrit sur la culpabilité, la solitude et le besoin d'exister aux yeux des autres. Et même si Frankenstein est né il y a deux siècles, il nous atteint toujours profondément, par la douleur qui traverse chaque page – une douleur effrayante et d'une limpidité glaciale. Avec ce chef-d’œuvre, Mary Shelley nous rappelle que ce n'est pas du mal que naissent les monstres, mais de l'absence: l'absence d'amour, d'affection, de décence.C’est en 1816, lors d’une nuit d’insomnie opiacée, que la jeune Mary Shelley conçoit cette œuvre, quand se forme en elle une vision, celle d’un "pâle étudiant des arts impies, agenouillé près de la chose qu’il a assemblée.” Cet étudiant n'est autre que le Dr Frankenstein, et ce roman deviendra un assemblage de deuils et d'émotions vives, qui bousculera à jamais le monde des lettres, à travers trois récits parfaitement enchâssés. Au cœur palpite le monologue de la malheureuse créature. Autour, irradie le récit de son créateur torturé. Et, aux confins de ce drame épique, celui de l’explorateur qui recueille le Dr Frankenstein.Les éditions Monsieur Toussaint Louverture vous présentent une nouvelle traduction de Frankenstein ou le Prométhée moderne de Mary Shelley, signée par l'écrivaine et traductrice Marie Darrieussecq.

The acclaimed classic biography, fully revised, becomes the definitive. The revised edition of Ian Carr's classic biography of Miles Davis throws new light on his life and career from the early days in New York, with Charlie Parker, to his Birth of the Cool band, through his drug addiction in the early 1950s, and the years of extraordinary achievements, 1954-1960, during which he created a whole series of masterpieces on record, and drew to his band such unequalled talents as John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly and Cannonball Adderly. Carr also gives a detailed description of Miles's dark reclusive period, 1975-1980, and his descent towards disintegration. He also tells how the events of one single day forced Davis to turn back to life and return slowly to music. The incessant activity of his last ten years - the music-making, his painting and art exhibitions, his extraordinary trumpet playing, his marriage to and divorce from Cicely Tyson - is recounted with fascinating insight.Miles Davis, whose work has been called 'one of the greatest musical legacies of the twentieth century', remained controversial until the end, and this definitive biography examines the controversy from all sides. With access to the inner circle of Davis's friends and associates, Ian Carr includes new interviews with such jazz greats as Max Roach, George Russell, George Avakian, Ron Carter, John Carisi, John Scofield, Bill Evans and Jack and Lydia DeJohnette, and revisits those who contributed to the first edition, including Keith Jarrett, Dave Holland, Joe Zawinul and Paul Buckmaster. This new, revised edition is an essential source for those who want to understand Miles, his music and the 'jazz life'.
Nach der Rückkehr in sein Dorf hat Thorgal nicht nur Aaricia und Lupine wiedererlangt, sondern auch seinen Frieden. Er hilft nun Jolan beim Bau seines eigenen Heims. Bis eines Morgens ein unbekanntes Schiff im Hafen ankert: Özurr, ein kampflustiger Söldner, ist nach dreißig Jahren der Verbannung zurückgekehrt. Doch nun hat er Reichtum erlangt und kehrt erhobenen Hauptes zurück, um das Wergeld, den Blutpreis, den er für seine Taten schuldet, zu bezahlen.

Kubra Khademi (*1989) lebt in Paris und konzentriert sich in ihren Arbeiten auf ihre persönlichen Erfahrungen als Geflüchtete und als Frau. Das macht ihre Werke so hochpolitisch wie aktuell. Zu ihren facettenreichen Sujets gehören ihre eigene Funktion als Sprachrohr und Mitstreiterin im Kampf für die Grundrechte der Frau sowie ihre künstlerische Tätigkeit im Exil und in einer muslimischen Gesellschaft.In Gemälden und seit Kurzem auch mit Fototechniken und Stickereien zeigt Khademi nackte Frauenfiguren, die eigentlich gelassen wirken, gleichzeitig aber auch provokant. Unter die Haut gehende Performances thematisieren ihre eigenen körperlichen Erfahrungen als Subjekt. Bei ihren Schlaglichtern auf die männerdominierte Gesellschaft in Ländern wie ihrer Heimat Afghanistan verknüpft Khademi Motive aus Mythologie, Kunstgeschichte und Politik. Der Band vermittelt faszinierende Einblicke in ihr komplexes OEuvre.

The sixteenth Parker novel, "Butcher's Moon" is more than twice as long as most of the master heister's adventures and absolutely jammed with the action, violence, and nerve-jangling tension readers have come to expect. Back in the corrupt town where he lost his money, and nearly his life, in Slayground, Parker assembles a stunning cast of characters from throughout his career for one gigantic, blowout job: starting - and finishing - a gang war. It feels like the Parker novel to end all Parker novels, and for nearly twenty-five years that's what it was. After its publication in 1974, Donald Westlake said, "Richard Stark proved to me that he had a life of his own by simply disappearing. He was gone." And readers waited. But nothing bad is truly gone forever, and Parker's as bad as they come. According to Westlake, one day in 1997, "suddenly, he came back from the dead, with a chalky prison pallor" - and the resulting novel, "Comeback", showed that neither Stark nor Parker had lost a single step. Knocking over a highly lucrative religious revival show, Parker reminds us that not all criminals don ski masks - some prefer to hide behind the wings of fallen angels.Backflash followed soon after, and it found Parker checking out the scene on a Hudson River gambling boat. Parker's no fan of either relaxation or risk, however, so you can be sure he's playing with house money - and he's willing to do anything to tilt the odds in his favor. Featuring three new introductions by Westlake's close friend and writing partner Lawrence Block, these classic Parker adventures deserve a place of honor on any crime fan's bookshelf.

From ancient Egypt to modern England, a man searches for the woman he loves and the man who betrayed them both! Khai begins life in ancient Egypt as the son of Pharaoh Khasathut's chief architect. Believing Pharaoh to be a god, Khai is stunned to learn that his leader's chief desires are to deflower young virgins and achieve eternal life through the powers of his black magicians. Khai dares to raise a hand to Pharaoh and is condemned to be a slave.Escaping, Khai flees to neighboring Kush where he earns the rank of general in the army of Queen Ashtarta . . . and a place in Ashtarta's bed. But Khai is betrayed by his best friend and Khasathut's evil magicians send his soul winging centuries into the future. In modern England, Khai searches for the reincarnated souls of his lover and his betrayer. Khai is amazed by the modern world--television, air conditioning, and especially guns, bombs, and other weapons. Returned to his own time, Khai uses the technologies he saw in the future to rewrite the past. But can he and Ashtarta prevent Khasathut from attaining immortality and using newly-gained alien powers to destroy all of Khem and Kush?Like the "Necroscope" novels, "Khai of Khem" is packed with fast-paced action, hair's-breadth escapes, all-consuming love, endless horror, and, in the person of Khai himself, quick wits and bravery in the teeth of danger.
