        Briefe an seine Nachbarin

        by Marcel Proust, Jean-Yves Tadié, Estelle Gaudry, Bernd Schwibs, Jean-Yves Tadié

        Marcel Prousts Lärmphobie ist so legendär wie das mit rohen Korkplatten zur Geräuschdämpfung ausgekleidete Zimmer seiner Wohnung. Im Boulevard Haussmann 102 in Paris, wo Proust von 1906-1919 wohnte und sein Jahrhundertwerk Auf der Suche nach der verlorenen Zeit schuf, macht ihm unter anderem der Baulärm in der Wohnung des Zahnarztes im Stockwerk über ihm zu schaffen. Proust freundet sich (brieflich) mit dessen Ehefrau an, Marie Williams. Er bittet, er schmeichelt, er scherzt, er zieht alle Register, um sich zumindest für einige Stunden die für seine Arbeit und die wenigen Stunden Schlaf nötige Ruhe zu verschaffen. Der Band versammelt die erhaltenen, bisher unveröffentlichten Briefe an Mme Williams, aufschlussreich erläutert und kommentiert vom Proust-Biographen Jean-Yves Tadié, sowie einen Essay von Andreas Maier über unser Verhältnis zu Umweltgeräuschen, vor allem denen menschlich-zivilisatorischen Ursprungs.

        Marcel Proust

        Biographie

        by Jean-Yves Tadié, Max Looser

        Die "Biographie des Werkes" ist die einzig sinnvolle Aufgabe für einen Proust-Biographen. Mit diesem Leitfaden folgt Jean-Yves Tadié – Kenner und wohl wichtigster Herausgeber des Proustschen Gesamtwerkes – der Intention Prousts, der 1921 in seinem Aufsatz über Baudelaire betont, bei einer Biographie gehe es um das Warum und das Wie, nicht um das Was. Bei Tadié sind folglich die äußeren Lebensumstände und -zeugnisse, einschließlich der Korrespondenz, nur Belege und Mittel, um das „innere Leben“, das, was Proust wußte, dachte, empfand, interpretierend zu erschließen. Die Darstellung fließt dabei nicht immer exakt linear. Sie reflektiert auch die Bruchstellen und registriert bewertend die Details von Belang und die oft retardierenden Bedeutungen der Ereignisse. Es ergibt sich ein Puzzle von Personen, Orten und Motiven. Jedes einzelne der Teile gleicht einer Miniatur, bildet ein eigenständiges Porträt, um sich schließlich in ein Gesamtbild zu fügen. Dieses mikrologische Verfahren bietet alles, was man über Proust wissen kann, alles Wissenswerte, was zum Verständnis der Gestalt des Schriftstellers und seines Werkes beiträgt.

        by Johanna Knowles

        Jacques Cousteau was an underwater explorer, inventor, filmmaker, author, and world-renowned environmentalist. He was the first to photograph and, later, film underwater life. He, his family, and his crew traveled the world on his famous ship, Calypso, to film never-before-seen sea creatures, shipwrecks, and other wonders. His photos and films inspired generations of marine biologists, undersea diving enthusiasts, and environmentalists. Jacques Cousteau, Updated Edition delves into the life and work of this underwater navigator whose name became synonymous with the ocean, and the ways he introduced the world to the mysteries of the deep.

        From Perversion to Purity

        The stardom of Catherine Deneuve

        by Lisa Downing, Sue Harris

        Catherine Deneuve is indisputably one of the world's most celebrated actresses, both in her native France and throughout the world. Her career has spanned five decades during which she has worked with the most significant of French auteurs, as well as forging partnerships with international directors such as Bunuel and Polanski. The Deneuve star persona has attained such iconic status that it can now symbolise the very essence of French womanhood and civic identity. In this wide-ranging and authoritative collection of essays by a selection of international film academics and writers, the Deneuve persona is scrutinised and illuminated. Beyond the glamorous iconographic status of Yves Saint Laurent's muse, and the epitome of sexual inviolability, Deneuve's status as actress is foregrounded. The book will be essential reading for students and lecturers in star studies.

        The business of time

        A global history of the watch industry

        by Pierre-Yves Donzé

        The business of time presents a comprehensive history of the global watch industry from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. Watch production in the twenty-first century is concentrated in three countries: Switzerland, Japan and China. The industry is dominated by a dozen or so large companies, including the Swatch Group, Richemont, LVMH, Seiko and Fossil. But a hundred years ago the picture was dramatically different. Over the course of a century, Great Britain, France, the United States and Russia saw the manufacture of watches disappear from their territory. At the same time, Hong Kong went from being a subcontractor of watch components to an intermediary between Chinese factories and the world market. Revealing the conditions that drove the spread of watch production around the globe, The business of time explains how multinationals emerged to dominate the industry and highlights how Swiss companies were able to establish themselves as the undisputed leader in luxury watches.
