Story1
In many ways it is fitting that Maximilien Robespierre (1758-1794) is one of the best known figures of the French Revolution. The early years of the Revolution were fueled by Enlightenment ideals, seeking the social overthrow of the caste system that gave the royalty and aristocracy decisive advantages over the lower classes. Few were as vocal in their support of Enlightenment ideals as Robespierre. But the Reign of Terror became the most memorable aspect of the Revolution, and Robespierre's position made him the Reign of Terror's instrumental figure.

Dialogues improvisés autour des grands faits qui ont marqué une époque, ces trois entretiens totalement inédits transportent l'auditeur au cœur de la vie politique de la fin des années 1980. L'amitié unique qui unit Marguerite Duras et François Mitterrand remonte à plus de quarante ans, lorsqu'ils ont partagé ensemble le danger dans leur mouvement de résistance. Jeunes, ambitieux et volontaires, ils ne connaissaient pas leur avenir.

Troisième volume du Journal des Goncourt (1866-1870), ces Mémoires de la vie littéraire saisissent, jour après jour, le pouls d’une époque. D’une table d’hôte au Havre où des capitaines de commerce jugent la « paix à tout prix » de Louis‑Philippe, aux rêveries d’une nuit au porto — arrivée en Angleterre avec Gavarni, maison aux décors qui changent — s’y mêlent notes vives, colères et délicates impressions. Regard acéré, style nerveux, humour et mélancolie: Edmond et Jules fixent l’instant, la conversation, le climat des idées.

Mortreuil, secrétaire de l’institution, elle résume les principaux événements qui ont marqué la formation et l’essor des collections, des manuscrits aux estampes, en s’appuyant sur l’Essai de Le Prince (1782) et sur les travaux du vicomte Delaborde et de Léopold Delisle.

De Rochecotte, le 1er janvier 1841, s’ouvre ce troisième volet de la Chronique de 1831 à 1862. La duchesse de Dino — puis duchesse de Talleyrand et de Sagan — y fixe, au fil des années 1841 à 1850, l’allure d’une époque: impressions, rencontres, jugements, et ces instantanés qui font l’histoire vécue. Sa plume, tour à tour grave et légère, saisit l’atmosphère de son temps et la nuance des êtres et des événements, en une suite de pages proches du jour.

Requisito indispensable para la contemplación, la fantasía, la plegaria y la creación, el silencio es la íntima fuente de la que mana el lenguaje, e impregna nuestros espacios más privados y sagrados, del dormitorio a la catedral.
