THE CHILDHOOD OF TRISTAN

My lords, if you would hear a high tale of love and of death, here is that of Tristan and Queen Iseult; how to their full joy, but to their sorrow also, they loved each other, and how at last they died of that love together upon one day; she by him and he by her.

Long ago, when Mark was King over Cornwall, Rivalen, King of Lyonesse, heard that Mark's enemies waged war on him; so he crossed the sea to bring him aid; and so faithfully did he serve him with counsel and sword that Mark gave him his sister Blanchefleur, whom King Rivalen loved most marvellously.

He wedded her in Tintagel Minster, but hardly was she wed when the news came to him that his old enemy Duke Morgan had fallen on Lyonesse and was wasting town and field. Then Rivalen manned his ships in haste, and took Blanchefleur with him to his far land; but she was with child. He landed below his castle of Kanoel and gave the Queen in ward to his Marshal Rohalt, and after that set off to wage his war.

Blanchefleur waited for him continually, but he did not come home, till she learnt upon a day that Duke Morgan had killed him in foul ambush. She did not weep: she made no cry or lamentation, but her limbs failed her and grew weak, and her soul was filled with a strong desire to be rid of the flesh, and though Rohalt tried to soothe her she would not hear. Three days she awaited re-union with her lord, and on the fourth she brought forth a son; and taking him in her arms she said: ... Read more

Product Description
Literary history has long been puzzled by how to classify and treat aesthetic monuments. In this interdisciplinary work, Franco Moretti builds a super-genre that has provided many of the "sacred texts" of Western literary culture. He provides a taxonomy capable of accommodating "Faust", "Moby-Dick", "The Nibelung's Ring", "Ulysses", "The Cantos", "The Waste Land", "The Man Without Qualities" and "One Hundred Years of Solitude". For Moretti, the significance of the modern epic reaches well beyond the aesthetic sphere: the modern epic is the form that represents the European domination of the planet, and establishes a solid consent around it. Political ambition and formal inventiveness are here continuously entwined, as the representation of the world-system stimulates the technical breakthroughs of polyphony, reverie and leitmotiv, of the stream of consciousness, collage and complexity. Opening with an analysis of Goethe's "Faust" and the different historical roles of the epic and the novel, the text moves through a discussion of Wagner's "Ring" and on to a sociology of modernist technique.He ends with an interpretation of magical realism as a compromise formation between a number of modernist devices and the return of narrative interest, and suggests that the West's enthusiastic reception of these texts (and of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" in particular) constitutes a ritual self-absolution for centuries of colonialism. Franco Moretti is the author of "Signs Taken for Wonders" and "The Way of the World". ... Read more

The Story of the World
Modern Epic is a formidable epic in and of itself.There is something almost evil about the way Professor Moretti reconstructs the occult roads of the literary and political chaos we call Modernism.Moretti begins by doubting the coherence of the term Modernism - the irreconcilability of texts as different as Ulysses and Metamorphosis.He then suggests that one of the major achievements (and quests) of writers from Goethe to the present is to create world-texts, scriptures, anachronistic verbal beasts that are essentially forms of epic literature.As primary epics have foundational relationships to various cultures one can see Moretti's point when he asserts that writers like Goethe, Wagner, Pound, Joyce, and the neglected master Imre Madach have agendas that are almost luciferian.For my part I cannot go with Moretti who prefers culture over wisdom but I am seduced by what I see as a program he describes in his book - the quest for a universal mythology - the epic story of humanity written from the periphery.Moretti discovers the epic nature of "One Hundred Years Of Solitude" which was written from the global periphery as most epics are.And epics such as "One Hundred Years Of Solitude" show the literary spirit at its most clear and visionary - as distinct from national novels of manners.

World literature is the cultural dominance.Vacations into national literatures or subcultural literatures have their charm but world literature and its movement through the modern epic is where the cultural spirit is at its most intense and relevant. ... Read more

Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Le modèle IS/LM est un modèle économique qui transcrit des éléments de la Théorie générale de John Maynard Keynes en termes néoclassiques. Dans le cadre d'une situation de sous-emploi, il permet de choisir entre différentes politiques économiques, en estimant leurs effets respectifs. Proposé par John Hicks en 1937 dans Mr Keynes and the "Classics": A Suggested Interpretation et aménagé par Alvin Hansen (d'où son autre nom de modèle Hicks-Hansen), il est devenu le « modèle standard » en macroéconomie. En dépit de sa relative simplicité, il n'a été dépassé que depuis la fin des années 1970 ; il reste très souvent enseigné. En effet, il est propédeutique pour les modèles macroéconomiques dynamiques. Le modèle permet d'établir un équilibre général à l'intersection du marché des biens et services, qui lie épargne et investissement, (investments and savings, d'où IS), et du marché monétaire, qui lie offre et demande de monnaie (liquidity preference and money supply, d'où LM). L'équilibre conjoint de ces deux marchés détermine le niveau d'équilibre de la demande et du taux d'intérêt. Il existe un troisième marché implicite, celui des titres, qui est ignoré parce que l'équilibre des deux premiers force le troisième. Un apport essentiel du keynésianisme (et d'IS/LM) est l'existence potentielle de chômage à cet équilibre, qui est alors un équilibre de sous-emploi ; la cause en est une demande effective insuffisante. Le modèle IS/LM ne part pas d'analyse micro-économique, mais raisonne directement en termes d'agrégats nationaux, dont le...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more
