Gerard Schwarz describes how Bela Bartok developed new rhythmic patterns modeled on Balkan and North African folk music and explored unusual instrumental colors and textures. During the 1920s and early 1930s, Bartok's innovative tendencies earned him a reputation as an uncompromising modernist, making him almost a musical anarchist who was unappreciated and largely unperformed, particularly in his native Hungary.

Gerard Schwarz shares his enthusiasm for the music of Aaron Copland, the quintessential American composer. Born in 1900 into a family of immigrants in Brooklyn, Copland didn't come from a musical family and had to find his own way, even trying to learn harmony from a mail order course. Today, Copland has become a permanent part of our cultural landscape, as important to our national consciousness as Whitman, Whistler, or Melville.

Drawing on a trove of sealed files and previously classified material, Whitey digs deep into the mind of James J. "Whitey" Bulger, the crime boss and killer who brought the FBI to its knees. He is an American original - a psychopath who fostered a following with a frightening mix of terror, deadly intimidation, and the deft touch of a politician who often helped a family in need meet their monthly rent. But the history shows that despite the early false myths portraying him as a Robin Hood figure, Whitey was a supreme narcissist, and everything was always about him.

Penseur étonnamment riche et complexe, René Girard apporte avec les outils qui sont les siens (l'anthropologie, la psychosociologie, la sémiologie, l'étude des mythes) une réponse originale aux questions disputées de l'origine du mal, de la religion et de la culture. La réponse de René Girard peut se représenter sous la forme d'une fusée à trois étages. Le premier étage, de facture anthropologique et psychologique, est une théorie du désir humain.

Figure lointaine et floue de la première des "Filles du Feu" publiée en 1854, Angélique entraîne l'auditeur au cœur de l'Idéal et du Romantisme (l'ouvrage est d'ailleurs dédié à Alexandre Dumas, autre grande figure du romantisme). Ce récit, entrecoupé de digressions, à la manière des contes orientaux, agace et retient comme un philtre du temps passé. On ne peut s'arrêter, s'empêcher de continuer à chercher, à la manière de Gérard de Nerval, pour entr'apercevoir finalement Angélique, cette figure d'un amour mythique.

By then Connolly was a major figure in the FBI's Boston office, and Whitey had become godfather of the Irish Mob. Connolly had an idea, a scheme that might bring Bulger into the FBI fold and Connolly into the bureau’s big leagues. But Bulger had other plans.
