Résumé:
John Berger’s essay begins by describing the experience of burying a year’s worth of his household’s excrement. What follows is an extended reflection—at once philosophically detached and engaged with the inescapable stuff of life—on shit as an allegory of what it means to be human.

Résumé:
"The drunkard who comes out with an absurd order, the dreamer who suddenly wakes and with his bare hands strangles the woman sleeping beside him - are they perhaps not carrying out one of the Company's secret decisions? These silent workings, so like those of God, give rise to all manner of speculation." The affairs of Babylon are dictated by a lottery. Discreetly(...)

These silent workings, so like those of God, give rise to all manner of speculation." The affairs of Babylon are dictated by a lottery. Discreetly administered by a mysterious and seemingly omnipotent Company, the lottery can elevate citizens to positions of wealth and power or condemn them to the most shameful punishments. Taking this fantastical conceit as its starting point, Jorge Luis Borges's short story is a characteristically brilliant achievement - a haunting mediation on the nature of chance, paranoia and divinity.

For all we knew, every city across the globe had suffered a comparable fate." As an unnamed city finds itself partially submerged below water, a small community of friends and lovers is forced to adapt to a world that has been radically transformed. An arresting vision of the wages of ecological disaster, "Our distance became water" is at once lyrical, moving, and psychologically acute. Endlessly inventive in both its style and its substance, this is a singularly powerful literary response to environmental change.

Une sorte d'aventure à la Indiana Jones : dans quelle jungle architecturale se retrouve-t-on lorsqu'on traverse au sens propre une bibliothèque. C'est donc une traversée qui comporte des allers, des retours, des dérives et des lieux au-delà de la lecture. Une traversée qui donne un point de vue spatial sur la lecture des livres qui devient ici promenade architecturale d'un nouveau type. L'ouvrage pose également la question de la représentation et de l'outil du dessin comme élément constructeur de l'architecture. Les lectures génèrent des images mentales capables d'influer et d'accompagner les architectes dans la construction d'espaces.

Few literary characters have led such colourful lives or matched her influence or capacity for reinvention in poetry, drama, fiction, and film. In ''The Wife of Bath'', Marion Turner tells the fascinating story of where Chaucer’s favourite character came from, how she related to real medieval women, and where her many travels have taken her since the fourteenth century, from Falstaff and Molly Bloom to #MeToo and Black Lives Matter.
