Summary:
"Fairy tales 3" brings together the most innovative entries to the third annual fairy tales competition, out of a field of over 1500 participants.

With a layout designed by Bruce Mau Design, Fairy Tales Volume 3 brings together 25 new architectural fairy tales.

Summary:
La machine à café, l'open-space, la disparition des frontières entre vie privée et vie professionnelle, les pots d'entreprise, le harcèlement olfactif, la pratique de la trottinette, les cafés envahis par les MacBook des indépendants... En une cinquantaine de chroniques, Nicolas Santolaria, journaliste au regard affuté, explore l'univers que nous partageons tous, celui du travail tel qu'il se pratique aujourd'hui. Des situations cocasses ou embarrassantes aux « tics » contemporains dans les échanges relationnels, du langage mâtiné d'anglais aux nouvelles théories de management, farfelues ou proprement effrayantes, sans oublier les névroses plus ou moins sérieuses que cela génère, tout passe au crible de la plume alerte de l'auteur. Loin de n'être qu'humoristiques, ces chroniques, dans une démarche proche des mythologies de Barthes, sont également nourries de références, qui permettront au lecteur curieux d'aller plus loin sur certains sujets.

Summary:
''Time within Time'' is both a diary and a notebook, maintained by Tarkovsky from 1970 until his death. Intense and intimate, it offers reflections on Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Hermann Hesse, Thomas Mann, and others. He writes movingly of his family, especially his father, Arseniy Tarkovsky, whose poems appear in his films. He records haunting dreams in detail and speaks of the state of society and the future of art, noting significant world events and purely personal dramas along with fascinating accounts of his own filmmaking. Rounding out this volume are Tarkovsky's plans and notes for his stage version of ''Hamlet''; a detailed proposal for a film adaptation of Dostoyevsky's ''The Idiot''; and a glimpse of the more public Tarkovsky answering questions put to him by interviewers.

Summary:
Imagine a type of writing so hard to define its very name means a trial, effort or attempt. An ancient form with an eye on the future, a genre poised between tradition and experiment. The essay wants above all to wander, but also to arrive at symmetry and wholeness; it nurses competing urges to integrity and disarray, perfection and fragmentation, confession and invention. How to write about essays and essayists while staying true to these contradictions? "ESSAYISM" is a personal, critical and polemical book about the genre, its history and contemporary possibilities. It's an example of what it describes: an essay that is curious and digressive, exacting yet evasive, a form that would instruct, seduce and mystify in equal measure. Among the essayists to whom he pays tribute - from Virginia Woolf to Georges Perec, Joan Didion to Sir Thomas Browne - Brian Dillon discovers a path back into his own life as a reader, and out of melancholia to a new sense of writing as adventure.
