Tears of Battle

An Animal Rights Memoir

By: Brigitte Bardot,Anne-Cécile Huprelle

An Account of one Woman's Courage, Caring, and Generosity in the Face of the Inhumane Brigitte Bardot—a global icon of French cinema—has used her fame to give a voice to those who cannot speak for themselves. Leaving the spotlight of stardom, she has dedicated her time and fortune to promoting the welfare of animals, both domestic and wild, around the world. Over the past forty years, Bardot has evolved from an international film icon of the glamorous sixties to an icon of that of a crusader for animal rights, forming her own foundation and meeting with leaders from around the world and lobbying for legislation to protect animals. In this poignant memoir, she uncovers the struggles of her decades-long battle—detailing the too few victories and the heartbreaking defeats—and revealing herself as never before seen through her reflections about nature, herself as a superstar, and the passion that has driven her away from glamour of her previous fame toward the humble calling of serving others.

Coline Serreau

By: Brigitte Rollet

Coline Serreau became famous in 1985 when her third film, Trois hommes et un couffin (Three Men and a Baby), the most successful French film of the 1980s. She was already known in France for her major contribution to feminist documentaries with the acclaimed Mais qu'est-ce qu'elles veulent?, a series of interviews with French women made between 1975 and 1977. She is now a key figure in French cinema and drama, with international hits including Romuald et Juliette (1989) and La Crise (1992). This appraisal of her work situates her films within the social, cultural and political context of France since May 1968, and assesses th emajor impact of the women's movement on French society and culture. Politics and sexual politics, two key aspects of Serreau's films and plays, are thoroughly examined. This book also considers the cultural influences of her work, and provides an overview of her films and filmic skills. Special attention is given to comedy, the cinematographic genre favoured by Serreau and the French audience, which is apprehended from a historical and gendered perspective. The clarity of the style and the wide-ranging analysis of Serreau's films and filming techniques make this book relevant both to students of film and film enthusiasts.

Cinema and the Second Sex

Women's Filmmaking in France in the 1980s and 1990s

By: Carrie Tarr,Brigitte Rollet

Women's filmmaking in France has been a source of both delight and despair. On the one hand, the numbers are impressive – over 250 feature-length films were made by over 100 women directors in France in the 1980s and 1990s. On the other hand, despite the heritage of French feminism, French women directors characteristically disclaim their gender as a significant factor in their filmmaking. This incisive study provides an informative, critical guide to this major body of work, exploring the boundaries between personal films (intimate psychological dramas relating to key stages in life) and genre films (which demonstrate women's ability to appropriate and rework popular genres). It analyzes the effects of postfeminism, women's desire to enter the mainstream, and the impact of a new generation of filmmakers, enabling readers to take stock of the wealth and diversity of women's contribution to French cinema during the 1980s and 1990s.

Finding Dora Maar

An Artist, an Address Book, a Life

By: Brigitte Benkemoun

“[A] spirited and deeply researched project.... [Benkemoun’s] affection for her subject is infectious. This book gives a satisfying treatment to a woman who has been confined for decades to a Cubist’s limited interpretation.” — Joumana Khatib, The New York Times Merging biography, memoir, and cultural history, this compelling book, a bestseller in France, traces the life of Dora Maar through a serendipitous encounter with the artist’s address book. In search of a replacement for his lost Hermès agenda, Brigitte Benkemoun’s husband buys a vintage diary on eBay. When it arrives, she opens it and finds inside private notes dating back to 1951—twenty pages of phone numbers and addresses for Balthus, Brassaï, André Breton, Jean Cocteau, Paul Éluard, Leonor Fini, Jacqueline Lamba, and other artistic luminaries of the European avant-garde. After realizing that the address book belonged to Dora Maar—Picasso’s famous “Weeping Woman” and a brilliant artist in her own right—Benkemoun embarks on a two-year voyage of discovery to learn more about this provocative, passionate, and enigmatic woman, and the role that each of these figures played in her life. Longlisted for the prestigious literary award Prix Renaudot, Finding Dora Maar is a fascinating and breathtaking portrait of the artist. This work received support from the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in the United States through their publishing assistance program.

Because They Hate

A Survivor of Islamic Terror Warns America

By: Brigitte Gabriel

Brigitte Gabriel lost her childhood to militant Islam. In 1975 she was ten years old and living in Southern Lebanon when militant Muslims from throughout the Middle East poured into her country and declared jihad against the Lebanese Christians. Lebanon was the only Christian influenced country in the Middle East, and the Lebanese Civil War was the first front in what has become the worldwide jihad of fundamentalist Islam against non-Muslim peoples. For seven years, Brigitte and her parents lived in an underground bomb shelter. They had no running water or electricity and very little food; at times they were reduced to boiling grass to survive. Because They Hate is a political wake-up call told through a very personal memoir frame. Brigitte warns that the US is threatened by fundamentalist Islamic theology in the same way Lebanon was— radical Islam will stop at nothing short of domination of all non-Muslim countries. Gabriel saw this mission start in Lebanon, and she refuses to stand silently by while it happens here. Gabriel sees in the West a lack of understanding and a blatant ignorance of the ways and thinking of the Middle East. She also points out mistakes the West has made in consistently underestimating the single-mindedness with which fundamentalist Islam has pursued its goals over the past thirty years. Fiercely articulate and passionately committed, Gabriel tells her own story as well as outlines the history, social movements, and religious divisions that have led to this critical historical conflict.

Nominal Apposition in Indo-European

Its Forms and Functions, and its Evolution in Latin-Romance

By: Brigitte L. M. Bauer

Nominal apposition—the combining of two equivalent nouns—has been a neglected topic in linguistics, despite its prominence in syntax and morphology in some languages. This book presents an extensive comparative and diachronic analysis of nominal apposition in Indo-European, examining its occurrence, characteristics and functions in early languages, identifying parallels with similar phenomena elsewhere, and tracing its evolution in Latin-Romance.

Bardot l'indomptable

By: Alain Wodrascka,François Bagnaud,Brigitte Bardot

Belle et libre, Brigitte Bardot qui deviendra en 1956 "le rêve impossible des hommes mariés" - selon la prédiction de Roger Vadim, son premier mari et Pygmalion - s'est hissée en vingt et un ans de carrière au rang des artistes françaises les plus renommées de la planète. A son actif, 46 films et plus de 80 chansons. Actrice instinctive, elle a tourné pour les plus grands réalisateurs : Godard, Clouzot, Malle, Autant-Lara, Vadim... Et alors qu'elle donne la réplique à Jean Gabin, Marcello Mastroianni, Jeanne Moreau, Annie Girardot ou Jean-Pierre Cassel, la muse provocante des années 50 inspire d'immenses auteurs-compositeurs, à commencer par Serge Gainsbourg, qui écriront pour elle des chansons mythiques. De l'éducation stricte et bourgeoise de son enfance à son statut incontesté de "star", jusqu'à sa décision en 1973 d'arrêter sa carrière pour se consacrer aux animaux, B B, la rebelle, est une femme engagée, amoureuse et souvent incomprise. Icône des sixties, elle incarne dans l'imaginaire collectif une certaine idée de la beauté française et fait rêver le monde entier à la seule évocation de ses initiales. Bardot l'indomptable, sex-symbol qui bouleversa les moeurs de son époque, scintille au firmament des étoiles éternelles. Véritable odyssée dans la mythologie de la star, cette biographie riche de 250 photos et documents souvent inédits et pour partie commentés par Brigitte Bardot elle-même, retrace ce parcours flamboyant et atypique.

A küzdelem könnyei

By: Bardot, Brigitte

„Milyen emléket őriznek majd rólam? Az ördögi mambóra lejtett buja táncét? A szerencse folytán sztárrá lett párizsi lányét? Az idealistáét, aki úgy döntött, hogy élete hátralévő részét az állatok védelmének szenteli? Azért egyeztem bele, hogy elmesélem életem legintimebb részleteit, hogy kiadom ezt az utolsó könyvet, mert úgy éreztem, szükségem van arra, hogy eloszlassam az életemmel és a szándékaimmal kapcsolatos félreértéseket. Tisztázni szeretném, miért vállaltam ezt a küzdelmet és emlékeztetni arra, hogy milyen helyet kell az állatoknak elfoglalniuk az életünkben. Ők megmentettek engem – de vajon én mennyire tudom megmenteni őket?” (Brigitte Bardot) A 84 éves Brigitte Bardot szemében ott vannak a küzdelem könnyei, miközben visszatekint a közel fél évszázados munka eredményeire. Ez az elszánt élharcos fáradhatatlanul küzdött – és küzd a mai napig – az állatok védelméért. Most először fedi fel vad, szelíd és elszánt énjét, megmutatja, milyen döntések, ösztönzések és lázadások hatották át az életét. Ösztönösen, meghatóan és őszintén emlékezik vissza a csillogó sztárságára, és valódi társaival, az állatokkal töltött mindennapjaira és a küzdelmeire. Brigitte Bardot nem egyszerűen örökséget, hanem mély érzelmi vallomást hagy ránk. A kötet Anne-Cécile Huprelle közreműködésével készült. Részlet a műből: „Azon a július 23-ai napon megértettem, hogy az én küldetésem lassan a végéhez ért, és már nem leszek kint a harcmezőn, legalábbis nem úgy, mint azelőtt. Ez a könyv, A küzdelem könnyei lesz az örökségem. Ez a végrendeletem, amely örökre magában hordozza az elhivatottságomat, a kétségbeeséseimet és a reményeimet. Mintha egy távolról szóló hang mondta volna, ez lett a meggyőződésem. Július 23-án, Szent Brigitta napján történt – nem véletlenül. Valami értelmet adott az egésznek. Talán az, hogy 1973-ban, amikor otthagytam azt a képmutató világot, amit a mozi jelentett számomra, egyúttal búcsút mondtam »Bardot«-nak. Most pedig elhagytam »Brigitte«-et. Felmértem, milyen fontosak és jelentősek voltak a tetteim, hogy példát mutattam több millió állatvédőnek, és az állatok egy napon önálló lényekké válhatnak, hogy a dolgok megváltoznak majd, és – a mai tudatra ébredésnek köszönhetően – holnap eljöhet az állatok forradalma. Ahogy felszáradtak az utolsó könnycseppek, tudtam, hogy az elkeseredett küzdelmem az Élet tiszteletéért nem ér véget. Az utódaim már készen állnak, a harc már túlnőtt rajtam, és észre sem vettem. Szent Brigitta napján megértettem, hogy egy nap, talán nem is olyan soká, érezni fogom az élet leheletét, amelyért egész életemben harcoltam. Az életadó, hatalmas és újjászülető leheletet. A legyőzhetetlen leheletét azoknak, akiknek sikerül lebontaniuk az állatok »álommal és néma fájdalommal teli világának« rácsait. A földi életem így nem volt hiábavaló. A lelkem végre békében nyugodhat. Ajánlom mindazoknak, akik küzdenek az állatok bántalmazása ellen, a gyerekeiknek és a jövő generációjának: mélyen és határtalanul szeretlek benneteket. A lelkemben egy állat lakozik.”

Bardot/Gainsbourg Passion fulgurante

By: Alain Wodrascka,Brigitte Bardot,François Bagnaud

Un ouvrage dense, très documenté et nourri de témoignages inédits de la comédienne-chanteuse, qui nous raconte, au jour le jour, l'histoire passionnelle de Brigitte Bardot et Serge Gainsbourg, un couple légendaire. Après avoir évoqué l'enfance de Lucien Ginzburg, enlacée à la guerre, les vertes années de la « Sacrée gamine », issue d'une famille bourgeoise stricte, les premiers pas artistiques du peintre, chanteur et auteur de chansons pour dames aux parfums anisés, le façonnement de film en film du mythe Bardot... les auteurs accomplissent un arrêt sur l'image de leur liaison fugace mais intense au cours de laquelle le temps pour eux suspendit son vol. Cette rencontre avec Gainsbourg, dont la personnalité d'esthète et la vie de bohème se distinguent de ses autres amants, permettra à B.B. de flirter avec le talent, l'intelligence et de scintiller au sommet de sa beauté avec des titres tels que « Harley Davidson » ou « Bonnie and Clyde ». Quant à S. Gainsbourg, il se débarrassera grâce à elle de ses complexes physiques et vivra l'une de ses plus belles et fertiles périodes musicales dont l'album en forme de portrait magnifié, Initials B.B., est le reflet.

Le carré de Pluton

mémoires

By: Brigitte Bardot

Je venais d'avoir 39 ans... A peine sortie du tourbillon de la vie d'une star, Brigitte Bardot se lance dans un combat sans merci contre l'injustice et la cruauté envers les animaux. Elle dénonce tous les excès, toutes les horreurs, prenant tous les risques comme dans sa campagne pour les bébés phoques ou contre les sacrifices sanglants et illégaux de l'Aïd-el-Kébir. Mais ce second volume est avant tout le récit de la vie d'une femme qui se bat contre la solitude, les faux-semblants, qui essaie de préserver ses choix, ses goûts. Les amitiés et les amours se mêlent aux déceptions et aux trahisons. L'alcool, les nuits blanches n'ont plus le même sens... Brigitte Bardot raconte tout avec cette formidable vitalité, avec ce même talent dans le récit qui animait Initiales B.B., cette même voix inimitable, cette même violence dans les passions et dans les peines. Souvent l'humour reparaît. Portraits féroces, démêlés avec se gardiens, la vie quotidienne à Saint-Tropez. Portraits tendres, ses parents, ses fidèles compagnons à quatre pattes, ses amies, le long défilé des êtres chers qui disparaissent. Les hommes de ce deuxième versant de sa vie, sans oublier les périodes noires, celles qui font que ce livre s'appelle Le Carré de Pluton.
