Ni tout à fait le même, ni tout à fait un autre : le lecteur retrouvera dans l'épaisseur de ce volume le Starobinski qu'il aime et qu'il recherche – «l'œil vivant», le lecteur impeccable, sachant allier la délicatesse du toucher et la maîtrise de l'explication, mais il découvrira aussi un Starobinski arpentant pour lui des terres peut-être nouvelles – non pas celles du siècle des Lumières, ni celles de l'histoire des idées médicales, mais celles de la poésie, de la peinture et de la musique. Ces trois muses se donnent la main et forment une ronde que le critique n'a jamais quittée. Au total. c'est une centaine d'études composées sur plus de soixante ans qui se trouvent rassemblées sous le titre «La beauté du monde». Car la littérature et les arts répondent à la beauté du monde et le critique, premier lecteur, spectateur et auditeur, célèbre la réponse de ceux-là pour chanter celle-ci. Le lecteur comprendra mieux sans doute ce qui continue d'animer celui qui a fait de la…

Summary:
One of twentieth-century America’s most influential patrons of the arts, Peggy Guggenheim (1898–1979) brought to wide public attention the work of such modern masters as Jackson Pollock and Man Ray. In her time, there was no stronger advocate for the groundbreaking and the avant-garde. Her midtown gallery was the acknowledged center of the postwar New York art scene, and her museum on the Grand Canal in Venice remains one of the world’s great collections of modern art. Yet as renowned as she was for the art and artists she so tirelessly championed, Guggenheim was equally famous for her unconventional personal life, and for her ironic, playful desire to shock. Francine Prose offers a singular reading of Guggenheim’s life. The lively and insightful narrative follows Guggenheim through virtually every aspect of her extraordinary life, from her unique collecting habits and paradigm-changing discoveries, to her celebrity friendships, failed marriages, and scandalous affairs, and Prose delivers a colorful portrait of a defiantly uncompromising woman who maintained a powerful upper hand in a male-dominated world. Prose also explores the ways in which Guggenheim’s image was filtered through the lens of insidious antisemitism.

Summary:
The Tree of Meaning is a collection of thirteen lectures given by internationally-renowned poet, linguist and typographer Robert Bringhurst. Together these lectures present a superbly grounded approach to the study of language, focusing on storytelling, mythology, comparative literature, humanity and the breadth of oral culture. Bringhurst’s commitment to what he calls ‘ecological linguistics’ emerges in his studies of Native American art and storytelling, his understanding of poetry, and his championing of a more truly universal conception of what constitutes literature. The collection features a sustained focus on Haida culture (including the work of storytellers Skaay and Ghandl, and artist Bill Reid), on the process of translation, and on the relationship between beings and language. Spanning ten years of lecturing, The Tree of Meaning is remarkable not only for the cohesion of its author’s own ideas but for the synthesis of such wide-ranging perspectives and examples of cultures both human and non-human. These thirteen lectures draw together a highly personalized and active study of Native American art and literature, world languages, philosophy and natural history. To each subject Bringhurst brings an ecologically conscious, humanitarian approach and an enthusiastic interest in the world around him.
