Laurus Nobilis
A shaft of sunlight through a gallery window, the hush of a library filled with Victorian wisdom-within these pages, art and life are entwined in luminous, searching prose. At a time when the boundaries between beauty and morality were fiercely debated, these essays dared to ask not only what art is, but why it matters to the soul of a society. With a voice both intimate and incisive, the author probes the philosophical reflections on art that shaped nineteenth century England, drawing readers into the heart of Victorian literary criticism. Here, the relationship between art and life is not a distant abstraction, but a living dialogue-one that questions, provokes, and ultimately elevates.This volume, long out of print and now republished by Alpha Editions, captures the spirit of an era when aesthetics and beauty were seen as both a private pleasure and a public good. The influence of Walter Pater and his circle shimmers through each essay, inviting intellectual readers and students of art history to reconsider the foundations of taste, genius, and the moral values underpinning creative endeavour. Whether exploring the subtle interplay between artist and audience or tracing the evolution of British essay collections during the Victorian era, the text remains as urgent and revelatory as when it first appeared.Restored for today's and future generations, this edition is not just a reprint - it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure. It stands as a testament to the enduring power of art criticism essays to illuminate lives, challenge assumptions, and bridge the centuries. For those who cherish the rich tapestry of Victorian era culture, and for anyone drawn to the timeless dance between thought and beauty, this is a work to savour and to keep.

Serons-nous vivantes le 2 janvier 1950?
En avril 1997, Françoise Verny lit un bref récit de Patrick Modiano, Dora Bruder. Dora, adolescente du XVIIème arrondissement, échappe à ses parents pour retrouver son amoureux dans Paris occupé. Arrêtée par la police parce qu'elle est juive, elle est déportée. Françoise est bouleversée par cette lecture. Le souvenir de sa grande amie de collège lui revient brutalement: Nicole Alexandre. Amie comme on l'est à quinze ans, passionnée, jalouse, confidente, blagueuse, grande lectrice comme Françoise, qu'elle appelle dans ses lettre cher vieux ou vieille carotte rotie au soleil . Un jour de 1943, parce qu'elle est juive elle aussi, Nicole est arrêtée, et internée avec sa mère. Au camp de Drancy, elle s'ennuie, lit, écrit à son amie une carte émouvante, presque joyeuse. Nicole ignore qu'elle fera partie du convoi du 20 novembre 1943. Elle sera gazée avec sa mère dès son arrivée à Auschwitz. Pour la jeune Françoise, Nicole est à Drancy. Ailleurs. La vie continue. Une nouvelle rentrée scolaire. De nouvelles amies. Le temps passe. C'est la Libération. Françoise oublie Nicole. Rencontre Charles Verny. Se lance dans d'autres combats, la philosophie, la presse, bientôt l'édition. Françoise est de tous les engagements. Elle est une des premières à voir Shoah, seule dans une salle aux côtés de Lanzmann. Mais elle a oublié Nicole. Quand en 1997, ce visage lui revient, flou, enfantin, Françoise décide d'écrire ce tombeau, cette méditation émouvante et simple, qui fait revivre Nicole et son histoire, qui est aussi la nôtre. En avril 1997, Patrick Modiano répond à Françoise Verny: Je crois que j'ai trouvé la trace de votre amie Nicole Alexandre. Elle avait deux ans de moins que Dora Bruder, elle était née en 1928, et elle habitait dans le XVIIème arrondissement, au 2 square Tocqueville. Est-ce la même ?

The Door
For Canadian corrections officer Vern Thibedeau, it all began at "Disney World"-or at least the penitentiary that ironically carried that nickname. Within ten months, he is seriously injured. One year later, he has a pistol aimed at his head during an incident in which two officers and a civilian are shot. Four years later, an inmate murders a correctional officer, who is Vern's friend, and a food steward. Over the course of a career spanning twenty-six years, Vern was assigned to five different prisons, but his time behind the stark walls of Kingston Penitentiary was his most difficult. During his assignment there, he dealt with some of the most notorious and dangerous inmates in Canada's history, such as Clifford Olson and others as bad as Paul Bernardo and Russell Williams. He was part of several hostage incidents and was taken hostage himself once. The stress of his job manifested itself in a variety of physical and emotional injuries, and he found himself forced to take time off to recover. It all culminated during a horrific time when a sex offender is taken to segregation-and his victim is approximately the age of Vern's own daughter. It all struck a little too close for comfort. Later, Vern worked closely with police while investigating a fellow officer who was also a friend. After retirement, Vern is contacted by the police who request more information regarding the investigation. These are his true stories of his years working behind the bars.
