ISBN-13: 978-0-8223-1455-4, ISBN: 0-8223-1455-X

"Out of the core of experience, these essays began as obsessions. Whether founded in some strongly lived moment, deeply held conviction, long-term interest, or persistent and unanswered question, these essays reveal the writer's voice--personal, often passionate, full of conviction, certainly unmistakable. Marianna Torgovnick has drawn together writings by leading contemporary scholars in the humanities, representing fields of literary c ..."

Hardcover, 240 Pages, Published 2018 by University Of Virginia Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-8139-4025-0, ISBN: 0-8139-4025-7

"From Jean-Jacques Rousseau to Marcel Proust, from Marguerite Duras to George Sand, from Colette to Patrick Modiano, gardens appear in novels as representations of the real world, but also as reflections of the imagination. In Paper Gardens: A Stroll through French Literature, Évelyne Bloch-Dano contemplates the role of the garden in the work of great prose writers, ruminating on how the garden can variously symbolize a reflection of the ..."






Palace of Books(1st Edition)
by Roger Grenier, Alice Kaplan
Hardcover, 136 Pages, Published 2014 by University Of Chicago Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-226-30834-0, ISBN: 0-226-30834-0

"For decades, Roger Grenier has been charming readers with compact, erudite books that draw elegant connections between our lives and our love of the arts. Whether he's turning to literature and philosophy to help us see our canine companions anew in The Difficulty of Being a Dog or mapping a life through cameras and photographers in A Box of Photographs, Grenier's books feels like a gift from a lost golden age of belles-lettres. With P ..."

Hardcover, 240 Pages, Published 2013 by Belknap Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-674-07258-9, ISBN: 0-674-07258-8

"More than fifty years after Algerian independence, Albert Camus’ Algerian Chronicles appears here in English for the first time. Published in France in 1958, the same year the Algerian War brought about the collapse of the Fourth French Republic, it is one of Camus’ most political works—an exploration of his commitments to Algeria. Dismissed or disdained at publication, today Algerian Chronicles, with its prescient analysis of the dead ..."






A Box of Photographs

Hardcover, 120 Pages, Published 2013 by University Of Chicago Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-226-30831-9, ISBN: 0-226-30831-6

"Most attempts to generalize about photography as a medium run up against our experience of the photographs themselves. We live with photos and cameras every day, and philosophies of the photographic image do little to shake our intimate sense of how we produce photographs and what they mean to us. In this book that is equal parts memoir and intellectual and cultural history, French writer Roger Grenier contemplates the ways that photogr ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-87351-630-3, ISBN: 0-87351-630-3

""The memoir has been, on the one hand, a startling success story in American publishing in the past quarter century. But it has also been literature's changeling, the bad apple, ever suspect, slightly illegitimate, a brassy parvenu talking too much about itself." - Patricia Hampl, "You're History" Balancing precariously between history and literature, memoir writers have finally found their place on the bookshelf. But increased notorie ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-226-05642-5, ISBN: 0-226-05642-2

"Marcel Proust s "In Search of Lost Time" opens with one of the most famous scenes in literature, as young Marcel, unable to fall asleep, waits anxiously for his mother to come to his bedroom and kiss him good night. Proust's own mother is central to the meaning of his masterpiece, and she has always held a special role in literary history, both as a character and as a decisive influence on the great writer s career.

The Difficulty of Being a Dog(1st Edition)

Hardcover, 139 Pages, Published 2000 by University Of Chicago Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-226-30827-2, ISBN: 0-226-30827-8

"The forty-three lovingly crafted vignettes within The Difficulty of Being a Dog dig elegantly to the center of a long, mysterious, and often intense relationship: that between human beings and dogs. In doing so, Roger Grenier introduces us to dogs real and literary, famous and reviled--from Ulysses's Argos to Freud's Lün to the hundreds of dogs exiled from Constantinople in 1910 and deposited on a desert island--and gives us a sense of ..."
