Book Description
Excerpt from Some Early Musical Recollections of G. Haddock For any defects in literary style in my "Recollections" I claim my readers' kind indulgence; also, I cannot always vouch for exact dates, as it has been my custom to keep very few programmes or press-notices. Several letters from artists I find, after all these years, still in my possession, but scores, from time to time, have been annexed by autograph collectors. From those I still have, I may have occasion to quote. It is possible that there may be many little inaccuracies in one's recollections, which date back three - quarters of a century, as one's memory, at times, is not infallible. Indeed, it was never my intention to put my thoughts to paper; but it has been my good fortune, throughout a long life, to be the participator - either as principal or otherwise - in so many events which have made musical history, that I have relented. The prime movers in these have been artists of exceptional calibre, who have left on everything they touched an indelible mark. In speaking of them to the present generation, I have, at last, somewhat reluctantly, given way to frequent solicitations.

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Author: Jean-Dominique Bauby
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307454835
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
A triumphant memoir by the former editor-in-chief of French Elle that reveals an indomitable spirit and celebrates the liberating power of consciousness. In 1995, Jean-Dominique Bauby was the editor-in-chief of French Elle, the father of two young children, a 44-year-old man known and loved for his wit, his style, and his impassioned approach to life. By the end of the year he was also the victim of a rare kind of stroke to the brainstem. After 20 days in a coma, Bauby awoke into a body which had all but stopped working: only his left eye functioned, allowing him to see and, by blinking it, to make clear that his mind was unimpaired. Almost miraculously, he was soon able to express himself in the richest detail: dictating a word at a time, blinking to select each letter as the alphabet was recited to him slowly, over and over again. In the same way, he was able eventually to compose this extraordinary book. By turns wistful, mischievous, angry, and witty, Bauby bears witness to his determination to live as fully in his mind as he had been able to do in his body. He explains the joy, and deep sadness, of seeing his children and of hearing his aged father's voice on the phone. In magical sequences, he imagines traveling to other places and times and of lying next to the woman he loves. Fed only intravenously, he imagines preparing and tasting the full flavor of delectable dishes. Again and again he returns to an "inexhaustible reservoir of sensations," keeping in touch with himself and the life around him. Jean-Dominique Bauby died two days after the French publication of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. This book is a lasting testament to his life.

Publisher: re.press
ISBN:
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Prince of Networks is the first treatment of Bruno Latour specifically as a philosopher. It has been eagerly awaited by readers of both Latour and Harman since their public discussion at the London School of Economics in February 2008. Part One covers four key works that display Latour’s underrated contributions to metaphysics: Irreductions, Science in Action, We Have Never Been Modern, and Pandora’s Hope.

In Part Two, Harman summarizes Latour’s most important philosophical insights, ...
