The Way We Live Now

Arnaldo Ageno — Tue, 15 Jul 2025 14:00:28 +0000

With an Introduction and Notes by Peter Merchant. Canterbury Christ Church College. The tough-mindedness of the social satire in and its air of palpable integrity give this novel a special place in Anthony Trollope’s Literary career.

Trollope paints a picture as panoramic as his title promises, of the life of 1870s London, the loves of those drawn to and through the city, and the career of Augustus Melmotte. Melmotte is one of the Victorian novel’s greatest and strangest creations, and is an achievement undimmed by the passage of time. Trollope’s ‘Now’ might, in the twenty-first century, look like some distant disenchanted ‘Then’, but this is still the yesterday which we must understand in order to make proper sense of our today.

The First Forty-Nine Stories

Arnaldo Ageno — Sat, 18 Dec 2021 06:13:16 +0000

From Ernest Hemingway’s Preface: ‘There are many kinds of stories in this book. I hope you will find some that you like- In going where you have to go, and doing what you have to do, and seeing what you have to see, you dull and blunt the instrument you write with. But I would rather have it bent and dulled and know I had to put it on the grindstone and hammer it into shape and put a whetstone to it, and know that I had something to write about, than to have it bright and shining, and nothing to say, or smooth and well-oiled in the closet, but unused.’A collection of Hemingway’s first forty-nine short stories, featuring a brief introduction by the author and lesser known as well as familiar tales, including ‘Up in Michigan’, ‘Fifty Grand’, and ‘The Light of the World’, and the Snows of Kilimanjaro, Winner Take Nothing’ and Men Without Women collections.

Diego et Frida

Arnaldo Ageno — Thu, 09 Apr 2020 14:53:54 +0000

Lorsque Frida annonce son intention d’épouser Diego Rivera, son père a ce commentaire acide : «ce seront les noces d’un éléphant et d’une colombe». Tout le monde reçoit avec scepticisme la nouvelle du mariage de cette fille turbulente mais de santé fragile avec le «génie» des muralistes mexicains, qui a le double de son âge, le triple de son poids, une réputation d’«ogre» et de séducteur, ce communiste athée qui ose peindre à la gloire des Indiens des fresques où il incite les ouvriers à prendre machettes et fusils pour jeter à bas la trinité démoniaque du Mexique – le prêtre, le bourgeois, l’homme de loi. Diego et Frida raconte l’histoire d’un couple hors du commun. Histoire de leur rencontre, le passé chargé de Diego et l’expérience de la douleur et de la solitude pour Frida. Leur foi dans la révolution, leur rencontre avec Trotski et Breton, l’aventure américaine et la surprenante fascination exercée par Henry Ford. Leur rôle enfin dans le renouvellement du monde de l’art.
Étrange histoire d’amour, qui se construit et s’exprime par la peinture, tandis que Diego et Frida poursuivent une œuvre à la fois dissemblable et complémentaire. L’art et la révolution sont les seuls points communs de ces deux êtres qui ont exploré toutes les formes de la déraison. Frida est, pour Diego, cette femme douée de magie entrevue chez sa nourrice indienne et, pour Frida, Diego est l’enfant tout-puissant que son ventre n’a pas pu porter. Ils forment donc un couple indestructible, mythique, aussi parfait et contradictoire que la dualité mexicaine originelle, Ometecuhtli et Omecihuatl.

The little prince Il Piccolo Principe in lingua inglese

Arnaldo Ageno — Thu, 25 Jul 2019 05:43:12 +0000

The Little Prince is a classic tale of equal appeal to children and adults. On one level it is the story of an airman’s discovery, in the desert, of a small boy from another planet – the Little Prince of the title – and his stories of intergalactic travel, while on the other hand it is a thought-provoking allegory of the human condition.

First published in 1943, the year before the author’s death in action, this translation contains Saint-Exupery’s delightful illustrations.
