ARAGON. La mise à mort. Paris: Gallimard, 1965, 421pp., . L'histoire d'un homme qui a perdu son image. peut-être. Entre nous, l'histoire d'un homme qui a perdu son image est-elle compatible avec le réalisme? Or, Ànthoine est devenu un réaliste un jour pendant que chantait Ingeborg d'Usher, qu'il appelle en secret Fougère. C'est de cette création [permanente qu'est le chant de Fougère qu'il tient sa croyance en l'existence des autres : Ğ Et comment voulez-vous, - dit-il - , que, de cette donnée étrange, il existe d'autres que moi-même, je n'ai pas été de fond en comble modifié, changé, bouleversé? ğ Ou plutôt n'est-ce pas un livre sur la jalousie : Ğ Othello, ou dans le genre. ğ, a dit une fois Ànthoine. Mais dans le livre, ce n'est pas toujours Anthoine qui parle. Il y a l'auteur et un certain Alfred. Il est entendu que c'est Anthoine qui est aimé de Fougère : Ğ C'est-à-dire, - dit Alfred -, que Fougère aime une certaine idée qu'elle se fait de moi, qu'elle appelle Anthoine. ğ C'est Alfred en tout cas qui dira d'elle : Ğ Quand elle chante, j'aime bestialement son âme. ğ Mais l'auteur se demande : Quel est le sujet de mon livre à vrai dire. l'homme qui a perdu son imageyla vie d'Anthoine Célèbre et d'Ingeborg d'Usher, le chant, le réalisme ou la jalousie? Ce pourrait aussi être le roman de la pluralité de la personne humaine, celui de la création romanesque ou le roman du romancier. Choisissez vous-même. Le roman est situé dans cette vie du siècle XX, les deux guerres, le Front populaire, la mort de Gorki, et ces jours d'aujourd'hui : le monde réel, vous avez beau le tourner dans tous les sens, c'est encore Le monde réel. Et ou Anthoine parle ou l'auteur, ou c'est Alfred, il faut en croire celui-ci, disant à Fougère : Tout n'est que j'écris qu'une lettre, une lettre sans fin vers toi. Une longue, une interminable lettre d'amour, et quelle qu'en soit la forme, le roman même, ou s'y introduise une histoire sans rapport avec lui, qui se passe au Danemark et à Vienne, ou qui, d'un concert de Richter jouant aux chandelles en 1963 le Carnaval de Schumann, nous ramène fin 1918 sur les bords du Rhin, à moins qu'elle nous fasse tomber en pleine Ğ Série noire ğ avec un dipe-Roi logé rue des Martyrs. Mais l'interviewer : Ğ Pourquoi ce titre, La Mise à Mort? ğ L'auteur, en tête. bille en tête. du livre, semble s'y autoriser d'un poème de Pasternak, traduit par Eisa Triolet ; Or être vieux c'est Rome qui, Au lieu des chars et des échasses, Exige, non la comédie, Mais que la mise à mort se fasse. Peut-être, après tout, que c'est là le sujet du roman, a Quoi? La vieillesse, la mort? ğ Mon Dieu, comme vous me fatiguez! Et pourquoi ne me demandez-vous pas aussi qui est Fougère?.

hardcover. Condition: Very Good. DETAILS: very good black cloth with lightly scuffed covers, solid sewn binding preferable to reprints, and very little sign of use. SCHOLEM, GERSHOM. Kabbalah. New York: Quadrangle/New York Times Book Co, 1974, Printed in Israel, 492pp., . Series: Library of Jewish knowledge "With origins extending back in time beyond the Dead Sea Scrolls, the body of writings and beliefs known as the Kabbalah has come to be increasingly recognized not only as one of the most intriguing aspects of Judaism but also as an important part of a broader mystical tradition. Here is one of the most enlightening studies ever to plumb its complex depths and range over its rich history, written by the late Gershom Scholem, the world's leading authority on the Kabbalah. Illuminated in this fascinating work are the centuries of efforts by Kabbalists to discover the secrets of God and the universe through the symbols of the physical world and the mysteries of languagea mammoth search set against a background of Jewish life in Spain, Poland, Germany and the rest of Europe. brought to life are such remarkable personalities as Shabbetai Zevi, the 17th-century pseudo-Messiah who raised the Jewish world to near ecstasy before plunging it into disillusion; and the charismatic Jacob Frank, who threatened to disastrously divide the Jewish religion. We learn the connection between the Kabbalah and such haunting legends as the Dybbuk, the Goel, and Lilith, as well as its relationship to the practice of white magic, palm reading and Satanism. Long cloaked in obscurity, the Kabbalah is revealed by this book to contain suggestive power which still entrances both the intellect and the imagination.". 9780812903522 ISBN 0812903528.
