781pages. poche. broché. Dans Les Trois Mousquetaires revit toute l' le Moyen Age parce que c'est une épopée chevaleresque; le XVIIème siècle dominé par Richelieu fondateur de la France moderne; le romantisme parce que des héros exceptionnels, qui ont disparu d'une société contemporaine dépoétisée, se réfugient dans le roman. L'auteur y a mis tout son la surprise, la vitesse, l'humour, la couleur, le sens du mystère et de la grandeur. Le lecteur se sent un instant aventureux comme d'Artagnan, séducteur comme Aramis, hercule comme Porthos, profond comme Athos, poète comme Dumas.

Exploring the concept of the dead as an imagined community in the early nineteenth century, this book delves into how Romantic and Victorian writers viewed the portrayal of the deceased as a means to influence social and political reform.

The study enriches the field of Death Studies by linking literary aesthetics, psychology, and ethics to the cultural practices surrounding death.

In fifteenth-century Eastern Europe, Vlad III of Wallachia conducted a reign of terror. He had citizens impaled by the thousands. People were butchered on his merest whim. In his realm, and beyond it, men and women lived in dread of the Impaler Prince. And this Prince revelled in the horror he inspired. He was a sadist, seen by some as a being of unequalled depravity, even as the Devil's own spawn. But Vlad was also a man who had the qualities of a great leader: strength, courage, intelligence and commitment to an ideal. He was a crusader against the infidel who considered himself a true warrior of Christ. Here, his story is told by four men whose lives overlapped with his; men who were influenced by him to the point of obsession. But it is also told by Vlad himself. The inner thoughts of the butcher of Wallachia are exposed. And there is much more to this sinister figure than many would have imagined.
