Authors: Maurice Leblanc

Description: Vers le milieu du XXe siècle, sur le mur d'un enclos où sont groupés les laboratoires d'un vieux savant, Noël Dorgeroux, apparaissent d'extraordinaires visions animées, qui reproduisent aussi bien des scènes de l'époque que du temps passé, et qui, toutes, sont précédées par l'image géométrique de trois figures, trois yeux bizarres disposés aux trois angles d'un triangle. Le neveu du savant, Victorien Beaugrand, qui, beaucoup plus tard, décrit les visions dont il fut dans sa jeunesse le témoin stupéfait, interroge vainement son oncle. Celui-ci garde son secret d'autant plus jalousement qu'il veut l'exploiter, et qu'il se sent épié et menacé. De fait, un mois avant l'inauguration de l'amphithéâtre qu'il a fait construire en plein air pour exploiter sa découverte, il est assassiné au pied même du mur miraculeux. En même temps, sa filleule, Bérangère Massignac, disparait. Est-elle complice des assassins? Le formidable secret est-il perdu?...

Authors: Salomo Friedlaender/Mynona

Description: Jahre vor den Klassikern der Filmtheorie (Bela Balazs, Rudolf Harms, Siegfried Kracauer), noch in der Stummfilmzeit, entfaltet Friedlaender/Mynona eine ungeheure Vision cineastischer Möglichkeiten – der schlechten wie der guten. Dem propagandistischen, „hyperamerikanischen“ Mißbrauch des Mediums zu Zwecken grausamster Ausschweifungen, „Massenbezwingung“, zuletzt der „Erdherrschaft“ setzt er eine wissenschaftliche „Vernunftmagie“ entgegen sowie die metatechnische, auf der Theorie der exzentrischen Empfindung beruhende Idee dreidimensionaler Projektion ohne Bildschirm. Den dahinter stehenden zeitlosen Streit zwischen kantianischem Idealismus und opportunistischem Materialismus illustriert Mynona in einer rasanten, vielschichtigen und literarisch raffinierten Handlung, quer durch die Tag- und Nachtseiten des realen Berlin, darin verwoben viele konkrete Personen des öffentlichen Lebens. Dieses Zeitbild aus dem Jahr 1922 erscheint neu in kritischer und kommentierter Ausgabe. Die ausführliche Einleitung informiert auch über neuere medientheoretische und kulturhistorische Interpretationsansätze.

Description: Throughout the world, there has been much scholarly and general interest in French popular culture, but very little has been written on the subject in English. The authors of this book address that lack in a series of highly readable and well-documented essays describing French life styles, attitudes, and entertainments as well as the writers and performers currently favored by the French public. Several chapters explore French tastes in popular literature and other reading matter, including comics, cartoons, mystery and spy fiction, newspapers and magazines, and science fiction. Film, popular music, radio, and television are also discussed in detail, and influences from other cultures--particularly American imports--are assessed. The remaining essays examine French sports, the use of leisure time, the French style of eating and drinking, and relations between men and women and their attitudes toward romantic love. Each chapter provides up-to-date historical and bibliographic information that will enable the reader to pursue subjects of particular interest. Written by an international group of specialists, this handbook offers the benefits of broad coverage, a variety of viewpoints, and solid scholarship.

Description: Dieses Buch rekonstruiert zum ersten Mal die Geschichte der Photographie von der Erfindung der Daguerreotypie um 1840 und den Reaktionen, die sie hervorgerufen hat, bis hin zur digitalen Photographie Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts als Theoriegeschichte. Dabei geht es sowohl um die einschlägigen theoretischen Positionen (von Barthes, Derrida, Foucault, Moholy-Nagy, Emerson, Stieglitz bis hin zu Rodtschenko, Hausmann, Baudrillard, Flusser u.v.a.m.) als auch um eine Vielzahl von Texten, die erst bei genauerem Hinsehen ihren theoretischen Gehalt zeigen.

Authors: Maurice Leblanc ,Alexander Texeira de Mattos

Description: Maurice Marie Emile Leblanc (11 November 1864 - 6 November 1941) was a French novelist and writer of short stories, known primarily as the creator of the fictional gentleman thief and detective Arsène Lupin, often described as a French counterpart to Arthur Conan Doyle's creation Sherlock Holmes. Biography: Leblanc was born in Rouen, Normandy, where he was educated at Lycée Pierre-Corneille. After studying in several countries and dropping out of law school, he settled in Paris and began to write fiction, both short crime stories and longer novels. The latter, heavily influenced by writers like Gustave Flaubert and Guy de Maupassant, were critically admired but had little commercial success. Leblanc was largely considered little more than a writer of short stories for various French periodicals until the first Arsène Lupin story appeared in a series of short stories that was serialized in the magazine Je sais tout, starting in No. 6, dated 15 July 1905. Clearly created at editorial request under the influence of and in reaction to the wildly successful Sherlock Holmes stories, the roguish and glamorous Lupin was a surprise success and Leblanc's fame and fortune beckoned. In total, Leblanc went on to write 21 Lupin novels or collections of short stories. The character of Lupin might have been based by Leblanc on French anarchist Marius Jacob, whose trial made headlines in March 1905. It is also possible that Leblanc had also read Octave Mirbeau's Les 21 jours d'un neurasthénique (1901), which features a gentleman thief named Arthur Lebeau, and he had seen Mirbeau's comedy Scrupules (1902), whose main character is a gentleman thief. It was not influenced by E. W. Hornung's gentleman thief, A.J. Raffles, created in 1899, whom Leblanc had not read.By 1907, Leblanc had graduated to writing full-length Lupin novels, and the reviews and sales were so good that Leblanc effectively dedicated the rest of his career to working on the Lupin stories. Like Conan Doyle, who often appeared embarrassed or hindered by the success of Sherlock Holmes and seemed to regard his success in the field of crime fiction as a detraction from his more "respectable" literary ambitions, Leblanc also appeared to have resented Lupin's success. Several times, he tried to create other characters, such as private eye Jim Barnett, but he eventually merged them with Lupin. He continued to pen Lupin tales well into the 1930s. Leblanc also wrote two notable science fiction novels: Les Trois Yeux (1919), in which a scientist makes televisual contact with three-eyed Venusians, and Le Formidable Evènement (1920), in which an earthquake creates a new landmass between England and France. Leblanc was awarded the Légion d'Honneur for his services to literature, and died in Perpignan in 1941. He was buried in the Montparnasse Cemetery. Georgette Leblanc was his sister............................. Alexander Louis Teixeira de Mattos San Payo y Mendes (April 9, 1865 - December 5, 1921), known as Alexander Teixeira de Mattos, was a Dutch-English journalist, literary critic and publisher, who gained his greatest fame as a translator. Early life: The Teixeira de Mattos Sampaio e Mendes family was of Portuguese Jewish origin, having been driven out of Portugal to the Netherlands by Holy Office persecution. Alexander Teixeira de Mattos was born as a Dutch Protestant to an English mother and a Dutch father, inheriting the Dutch title of Jonkheer. In 1874, when he was nine years old, he and his family moved from Amsterdam to England.There, he studied under Monsignor Thomas John Capel and converted to Roman Catholicism. He then studied at the Kensington Catholic Public School and at the Jesuit school Beaumont College.................
