The aim of this book is to tell a fuller story of postmodernism as applied to philosophy and a few other related disciplines. The book considers postmodernism from different angles. Apart from examining the nexus between postmodernism and different branches of philosophy. The ideas of leading postmodern thinkers we critically discussed. In an age where students find it very difficult to buy relevant books, this book is a handy reference material because it covers the very essential areas of postmodernism. I must commend the Editors of the book for their editorial astuteness and all the contributors for exhibiting a wonderful and overwhelming enlightenment for philosophy students and students of related disciplines.

This title was first published in 2003. This text explores the "dark, pessimistic truth that pervades the pages of modern texts", setting a theme of Dante's "Inferno" against the work of modern authors including Dostoyevsky, Hardy, Conrad, Wharton, Kafka, Camus, Waugh and Flannery O'Connor. The author's thesis is that these writers exhibit a hostility towards the reader, an anger that the reader should continue to be so deludedly happy when the writer has become so mortifyingly enlightened. At its most characteristic, Reilly demonstrates, modern fiction seems to achieve a savage satisfaction in inflicting this pain, to an extent that could be described as sadistic. Reilly traces what he calls this "punitive spirit" to a character in the "Inferno", Vanni Fucci, who suffering himself does his best to make Dante suffer too. Through the study he uses the "Inferno" as a guide to the prevailing attitudes in modern fiction, revealing a parallel between the prohibition of pity within the medieval poem and in the pages of modern texts.
This book is the result of a master's thesis in Modern Literature, classics option, written at the University of Rennes 2, defended in 2012. While it can borrow from history, through a certain number of historical archives, this research work borrows more from legend and literary sources that made it possible to free the second Duke of Normandy, a Viking and son of the Viking Rollo, founder of Normandy in 911, from anonymity. Indeed, this academic work is the first to deal with a character that is not sufficiently known, sometimes confused with a homonym, but of fundamental importance. The choice of the title, The Estory of William Longsword, can be explained by the following considerations: it is a question of history; but signifying by this choice, that it will be a question of entering into this history, of preserving as much as possible its medieval character, its medieval meaning, and therefore not only of being the modern observer of a timeless sequence. It will not be history but a story that is told. In 7 chapters, all the dimensions inherent to such publications will be revealed, including the sources, the gaps between the story and the texts, the legendary dimension of the character, his human dimension, the mysteries to be discovered...
Que faire quand on entend l'appel du Christ? Beaucoup, trop occupés ou trop centrés sur eux-mêmes, leur environnement, leur milieu, leur carrière professionnelle, ils ont entendu sa voix, à un moment de leur existence ; mais malheureusement ils l'ont ignoré par manque de lucidité. Refusant ainsi l'opportunité d'expérimenter dans son intégralité la grâce du Seigneur, à travers l'Évangile, puissance de vie pour le salut de quiconque. Aussi incroyable que cela puisse le paraître ce ne sont pas ces personnes qui ont été vers l'agneau de Dieu qui ôte le péché du monde. Le Christ a traversé les cieux. La lumière luit dans les ténèbres, et les ténèbres ne l'ont point reçue. Quand Jésus rencontre l'oublié du monde il se passe toujours quelque chose d'extraordinaire. C'est le thème de l'ouvrage que vous avez en main. Il livre un regard digne d'intérêt sur le plus beau et incontournable rendez-vous d'une vie...

The quest to write a geographical book leading up to the two-hundredth anniversary of this conflict, known as the War of 1812, that created two North American countries we enjoy today, began in 2006, with the goal to visit as many historical sites as possible. We started searching for roadside markers, plaques, monuments, cemeteries, the tombstones to the fallen, fortifications, battlefields and those who fought in this war, and to tell the readers the stories behind them. Searching for the Forgotten War 1812, was an experience that was more than we expected in terms of the wonderful people we met along the way.

This is an evocative drama of American idealism and the tragic fallout from the euphoria of the 1960s. Five lost souls are gathered in a bar, Valentine's Day, 1974: Wanda, a secretary-turned-schoolteacher, keeping John Kennedy's memory alive despite the inevitable slurs; Sparger, an actor grown bitter and cynical as New York's vital underground theatre movement becomes a commercial wasteland; Rona, a political activist who sees the movement collapsing from self-indulgence and apathy; Mark, a Vie
