Book Description
Enfin un ouvrage pour les Nuls sur toutes les expressions de notre langue ! Mettre la puce à l'oreille, donner sa langue au chat, faire les quatre-cents coups... Nous utilisons ces expressions quotidiennement. Mais saviez-vous qu'à l'origine, la puce à l'oreille avait le sens de " démangeaisons amoureuses " ? Qu'avant de la donner au chat, on " jetait sa langue au chien " ? Que les quatre-cents coups font référence aux quatre-cents coups de canon tiré sur la ville de Montauban pour contraindre ses habitants à renoncer au protestantisme ? Qu'elles soient idiomatiques, régionales, argotiques, d'hier ou d'aujourd'hui... elles sont toutes analysées pour vous donner leur origine, leur sens, ancien et actuel, et, parfois, leur équivalent – souvent étrange – dans d'autres langues. Avec Les Expressions françaises pour les Nuls, tout ceci n'aura plus de secrets pour vous !

An Anglo-Norman Reader
Author: Jane Bliss
Publisher: Open Book Publishers
ISBN: 1783743166
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 1044
Book Description
This book is an anthology with a difference. It presents a distinctive variety of Anglo-Norman works, beginning in the twelfth century and ending in the nineteenth, covering a broad range of genres and writers, introduced in a lively and thought-provoking way. Facing-page translations, into accessible and engaging modern English, are provided throughout, bringing these texts to life for a contemporary audience. The collection offers a selection of fascinating passages, and whole texts, many of which are not anthologised or translated anywhere else. It explores little-known byways of Arthurian legend and stories of real-life crime and punishment; women’s voices tell history, write letters, berate pagans; advice is offered on how to win friends and influence people, how to cure people’s ailments and how to keep clear of the law; and stories from the Bible are retold with commentary, together with guidance on prayer and confession. Each text is introduced and elucidated with notes and full references, and the material is divided into three main sections: Story (a variety of narrative forms), Miscellany (including letters, law and medicine, and other non-fiction), and Religious (saints' lives, sermons, Bible commentary, and prayers). Passages in one genre have been chosen so as to reflect themes or stories that appear in another, so that the book can be enjoyed as a collection or used as a resource to dip into for selected texts. This anthology is essential reading for students and scholars of Anglo-Norman and medieval literature and culture. Wide-ranging and fully referenced, it can be used as a springboard for further study or relished in its own right by readers interested to discover Anglo-Norman literature that was written to amuse, instruct, entertain, or admonish medieval audiences.
