ESSAI
La gloire de Rubens Rubens’ Glory
April 2013 - 272 pages
A vindication of the individual and the aristocratic trial of the anaemic collective through the portrait of this painter of the flesh
Why is one of the most illustrious painters in the history of art also one of the least known? Such is the enigma which Philippe Muray undertakes to explore. In these pages Rubens lives again: readers can follow him everywhere, on his countless travels, diplomatic missions and negotiations. The Europe torn apart by religious wars is brought back to life. Here at long last we rediscover a work as admirable as it is inexhaustible, one with an unequalled sensual positivity in which one supreme passion is affirmed: that of women’s bodies. Rubens turns paint into flesh. In his paintings, all such things thought to be in imperiled resurface: voluptuousness, desire, the violence behind pleasure. In short, his work is the “Wonderland” of art as well as literature. «I celebrate this painter,” writes Philippe Muray, “because he is not of our century. Painting was outmoded long ago, removed from the world, a rock of colours ripped off the globe, an increasingly remote planet, and Rubens epitomises the full import of painting. I draw my inspiration from non-pious, non-“sacred” sources of something thought to be lost. I am not digging up a corpse – I am revealing a fervently alive man who dazzles me.»
Philippe Muray was an essayist and novelist.

In the workshop of one of the greatest living dramatists
Edward Bond agreed to comment on thirty of his plays, preferably chosen from among the most recent and best-known in France. In candid remarks focusing on highly specific aspects of his work, he reveals how his plays were constructed and staged, and challenges overcome, thus revealing his writings’ exceptional density, precision and coherence. In the process, he also highlights the depth and wealth of his knowledge of the theatre and of its role in the lives which all human beings have in common. Although not claiming to be a practical guide for actors or directors, this book does offer anyone (whether spectator or professional) who wants to explore this outstanding dramatic work – as informative as it is disconcerting – some first-hand concrete guidelines for reading (and performing in) these plays, not according to some assumed intentions, but for what they actually are and for what they truly can impart to us.
Edward Bond was born in London in 1934 into a lower working-class family. As a child, he witnessed bombings, was excluded from attending school, and started working at the age of 15. He was self-taught in the world of the theatre and began writing in the late 1950s. His work was noticed by the Royal Court Theatre, which put on his first plays and with which he remained associated until the 1970s. His first publicly performed play, Saved, written in 1965, caused a scandal that made him famous before it became an international hit. Since then, he has written more than fifty plays for the leading institutional British theatres, as well as for student and activist troops and young audiences. He also inspired widespread debates on the theatre, its anthropological foundations and its cultural, political and moral function. After breaking away from the British theatrical stage in the 1980s, he focused his efforts in England on plays and theoretical writings for young audiences. His work has been widely disseminated in Europe and particularly in France, where his plays have been highly popular since the 1990s and have received extensive media coverage, largely thanks to Alain Françon’s celebrated stage direction.

ANTIQUITÉ/THÉOLOGIE
Les cultes isiaques dans le monde gréco-romain Isiac Cults in the Greco-Roman Word
March 2013 - 576 pages
The diffusion throughout the entire Mediterranean Basin and even beyond (to Arabia, India and far-off Brittany) of the cult of several deities originating from Egypt (Isis and her consort Sarapis, their son little Harpocrates, Anubis the jackal-headed god, Apis the Bull of Memphis, and even Osiris) is one of the Hellenistic and Roman eras’ most remarkable phenomena. Our understanding of the extent to which non-Egyptians respected this divine family – long based upon scattered literary texts, some lovely Greek and Latin inscriptions and impressive statues in Rome, Athens and elsewhere – has been greatly enriched and refined through the study and analysis of thousands of artefacts unearthed since the Renaissance (jewellery, statuettes, papyrus, ceramics, coins, etc.). In this copiously illustrated book, the author presents several hundred such documents translated where appropriate into French and annotated, revealing the extraordinary influence that Isiac cults had on the GrecoRoman world’s populations for nearly eight centuries.
Laurent Bricault, whose PhD is in Egyptology, is a professor of Roman history at Université de Toulouse II Le Mirail.

HISTOIRE
Rome par ses historiens Rome According to its Historians
November 2012 - 360 pages
From Aelius to Zosim, this coherent and colourful, educational and entertaining book relates the History of Rome from its origins to its final days There are numerous anthologies by ancient Greek and Latin historians, and no shortage of source books, emperor biographies and accounts of battles compiled here and there in studies and synopses. Yet none has ever followed the single trajectory of a complete history with a (legendary) beginning and a (mythical) ending. A History of Rome, indeed, but which History? First and foremost, the one related to us by historians. A logical response, although the authors of this book occasionally chose to rely on other writers, poets, a novelist, and a few apologists. The result is a sort of song of heroic deeds, or Bayeux tapestry, highlighting the most historic or picturesque moments which are the most widely known – those which everyone recalls: the Twins and the She-Wolf, the Geese of the Capitol, Hannibal’s Elephants, the Gladiators’ Rebellion, Rome’s fire and its “fall”; the portraits engraved with a burin; Rome’s founding fathers: Brutus, Cincinnatus, Camilla and Cato; its enemies: Hannibal, Vercingetorix, Jugurtha, Attila. Its rebels: Spartacus, Catiline (Cicero made the comparison); its warlords: Marius, Sylla, Caesar, Pompey, Crassus, and Rome’s emperors – both wise and mad – from Augustus to little Romulus Augustulus; its women, ruled by their hearts or their bodies, their power or their duty: Cleopatra, Agrippina, Messalina, Zenobia, Theodora, not to mention the throng of barbarians rushing to get past its frontiers: Goths and their consorts, Vandals and Huns, confront the last of Rome’s defenders: Aetius, Ricimer and Stilicon. Lastly, these new voices of Christians, apologists and ecclesiastical historians.
An Honorary Senior Lecturer on Latin Language and Literature at Sorbonne Nouvelle (Paris III), Claude Aziza collaborated on the publication by Les Belles Lettres of the following books by Alexandre Dumas: Isaac Laquedem (2005); Mémoires d’Horace (2006) and E. G. Bulwer-Lytton’s Les Derniers Jours de Pompéi (2007) [English title: The Last Days of Pompeii]. He also contributed to the publications L’Histoire and Le Monde de la Bible.

Prolonging ancient philosophy as a way of life All ancient philosophy is a spiritual exercise; i.e., a practice intended to transform a way of life, or of perceiving things in oneself or in others. It is at once an internal and external discourse and a practical implementation. That is how Pierre Hadot (1922-2010) described ancient philosophy, as a discipline meant to help human beings live better and enjoy what they experience, rather than to give free rein to their passions which ultimately will never be satisfied. The three major Schools of Antiquity (Epicurianism, Stoicism and Skepticism) developed techniques and methods for achieving greater well-being and shared a concern for humankind and its welfare, in order to live as fully as possible. All three stressed man and his serenity, man within a harmonious framework that would allow him to live with the awareness that life is short and the allotted time for living is uncertain, and that existence is punctuated with daily troubles, pains and obstacles that need to be overcome. This book is an extension of Pierre Hadot’s work, and, to a certain extent that of Michel Foucault, on this notion of “spiritual exercise.” However, although the latter term was offered as a conclusion in the case of Hadot’s research, here it serves as the author’s point of departure. The book begins by defining what a spiritual exercise really is. What is this notion, this term, which in Antiquity was also a practice? Spiritual exercise, in the sense of work undertaken to improve oneself and one’s transformation to achieve greater well-being indeed seems to be present – without being named as such – in ancient philosophy, even to the point of being its very reason for existing. Yet the term itself emerged much later under auspices not necessarily related to philosophy. That is why this book explores the notion in detail by examining the specific practices, implementations and theories that may directly or indirectly refer to it. Consequently, what Schools of Antiquity may be characterised as establishing and practicing spiritual exercises? Secondly, the author puts into perspective the common lines of thought between the different Schools, the need to philosophise, to know how to be prepared – particularly for sickness and death – and to know how to practice exercises and techniques such as asceticism, writing, listening, etc. The author then highlights the singularities of each School and mainly comparing that of the Stoics to the Epicureans and Sceptics. Lastly, the final section tackles the prolongation of spiritual exercises beyond Antiquity, through not only its revival at the dawn of Christianity, but also in the philosophies of the Renaissance (Montaigne), the Classical and Modern Era (Descartes), as well as during the Enlightenment (Shafesbury, Kant and Rousseau).

HISTOIRE
Le Deuil du pouvoir. Essais sur l’abdication Mourning power: Essays on abdication
March 2013 - 204 pages
From Saint Francis of Assisi to General de Gaulle – five renowned historians expound on the theme of abdication Abdication, as a renouncement of power, constitutes the pure state of an act of will within the political sphere. It occurs when a sovereign body subject to no authority but its own decides to abolish itself. The aim of this book is to relate and expand upon Jacques Le Brun’s founding masterly work, Le Pouvoir d’abdiquer. Essai sur la déchéance volontaire, published in 2009 by Gallimard. The book was a huge surprise, because in it a specialist of Classical Age mystical literature, was giving a general lesson in political science. Indeed, this book compensated for a gap in, or repression of, the political theory which had failed to place the annihilation of abdication at the core of its subject: culture abhors a vacuum. Jacques Le Brun showed how a mystical interpretation of annihilation could thus account for events which had been overlooked in political debates focusing on the foundation and origin of powers. Until this book appeared, such events were viewed as so many episodes, as mere power-related incidents. Our project extended these variations to the cases mentioned, yet not explored, by Jacques Le Brun, neither in the first historic era, with the abdication of Queen Christina of Sweden (Corinne Péneau), nor in prior eras with the resignation of Pope Celestine V placed in the overall perspective of the 13th century (Alain Boureau), nor in later eras with the departures of De Gaulle (Jean-Michel Rey). Pierre-Antoine Fabre, for his part, contributed to the material with the doctrinal case of the Jesuit superior’s abdication in favour of his assistant in the Constitutions of the Jesuit Order (mid-16th century), while Jacques Le Brun focused on identifying the contemporary ramifications of abdication in Nino Moretti’s film Habemus papam and in contemporary performances of King Lear.
Alain Boureau, who is Director of Graduate Studies at the EHESS, is a medievalist. His numerous works include La papesse Jeanne, Le Droit de cuissage : Histoire de la fabrication d’un mythe and Satan hérétique : La naissance de la démonologie dans l’Occident médiéval. He and Michel Desgranges are co-directors of Les Belles Lettres’ «History» Collection, in which he has notably published L’Événement sans fin. Récit et christianisme au Moyen Âge, La Loi du royaume, La Religion de l’État and L’Empire du livre.

HISTOIRE
Points aveugles de la nature. L’occulte, l’attraction magnétique et l’horreur du vide (XIIIe-milieu du XVe siècle) Nature’s Blind Spots: The Occult, Magnetic Attraction and the Fear of Emptiness
April 2013 - 656 pages
In opposition to the generally accepted idea that the Middle Ages were obscurantist, this work is a comprehensive and well-documented study on medieval science and its ways of coming to grips with natural mysteries.
The aim of this book is to underscore the profound rationality of the Middle Ages in terms of the period’s scientific and academic thought based upon a comparative three-prong study: the natural occult – namely the occult properties by which inexplicable phenomena were explained which could not be accounted for by any combination of the first elements (heat, cold, dryness and moisture); magnetic attraction, which seemed to contradict the Aristotelian axiom according to which, in any movement, that which moves and that which is moved are in contact; and the “fear of emptiness” which meant that nature was induced to contradict its ordinary process in order to avoid forming any empty space in a world that Aristotle claimed was full. Research on each of these “blind spots” has given rise to significant discoveries about the origin of key concepts (such as “universal nature” which explains the fear of emptiness whose origin had eluded specialists) and the exact chronology of the ways in which such problem concepts evolved (for example, the author traces, for very first time, how such models used to explain magnetic attraction from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance evolved). In his research, he notably exploited sources overlooked by historians, such as the academic commentary on Aristotle’s Physics, most in the form of manuscripts preserved in European libraries. The comparative epistemological analysis of these three issues allows readers to grasp the broad lines, challenges and implications of academic and scientific rationality, which, in short, tended to brush aside the unexplained in the same way as nature would dismiss emptiness. This book thus contributes to the understanding of both the history of reason and the concept of nature.

Torturer à l’antique. Supplices, peines et châtiments en Grèce et à Rome Torture in Antiquity: Torments, Sentences and Punishments in Greece and in Rome
February 2013 - 266 pages
From Antigone – who was buried alive – to Cicero’s head hung from the Rostra, welcome to antiquity’s ill treatment cornucopia!
Amputations, beatings, impalements, stoning, hangings: readers will discover, among all the penalties inflicted by the Ancients, punishments which unfortunately were commonly used in many eras and cultures. However, the Greeks and Romans demonstrated exceeding ingenuity and imagination in conceiving their methods and instruments of torture. For example, Phalaris and his bronze bull and Vedius Pollio and his lampreys became picturesque figures: the form of immortality they acquired adequately testify to how fascinating such bloody practices have always been. This book not only takes readers on a guided tour of this little museum of horrors through over one hundred translated texts, but also allows them to plummet, thanks to terrifying anecdotes, the hidden undercurrents accounting for the violence of the repression: in short, why did they impose such harsh tortures? Lastly, since the gory always seems to go hand-in-hand with the sublime, we will learn how noble figures, pagan sages, Christian martyrs and statesmen managed — through their nobleness and courage — to triumph over even the most loathsome treatments.

RÉCIT
Dans les griffes du Tigre. Récits d’un officier pilote d’hélicoptère de combat. Libye-Afghanistan 2011 In the Claws of the Tiger. Accounts of a Combat Helicopter Pilot Serving in Libya-Afghanistan in 2011
January 2013 - 108 pages
For the first time, a French officer who fought in Libya and Afghanistan shares his experiences of those two conflicts. Captain Brice Erbland, Mission Leader and pilot of a Tiger combat helicopter – an ultra-sophisticated machine with devastating firepower, unveils his war journal in this book. Dans les griffes du Tigre takes us from the mountains of Afghanistan to Gaddafi forces’ search-and-destroy missions on the Libyan coast. Brice Erbland’s emotions, while serving in the forefront of the fighting in both of these French Army theatres of operation, mirror those of all the other authors whose accounts Les Belles Lettres has chosen to publish in its “War Memoirs” collection. The latter reveals the combatants’ fear, courage and suffering over the loss of comrades and separation from loved ones, but also that terrifying instant when, from high up in the sky, a fighter knows his target is doomed once it enters the crosshair’s frame of green light, just before the artillery fire destroys it.
Brice Erbland, 32, a graduate of Saint Cyr, is an attack helicopter pilot in the French Army Light Aviation service [Aviation Légère de l’Armée de Terre, ALAT]. He first fought in Africa, then in Afghanistan and Libya in 2011. Twice decorated for his deeds in these theatres, he was made a Knight of the Legion of Honour for his heroism in Libya. Married and a father of four, he is a keen enthusiast of art and music.

ESSAI
Titanic. Mythe moderne et parabole pour notre temps The Titanic A Modern Myth and Parable for our Time
April 2013 - 160 pages
Written in a highly accessible style, this book takes an original approach to the Titanic’s story. For what is now over a century, the wreck of the Titanic has been the focus of such universal fascination that it has become a genuine modern myth and one of the most prominent symbols of a technological disaster and human failure. This new edition of the work published in 1998 by Éditions Flammarion was revised and expanded to include an introduction to the author, a preface by the publisher and a letter written by Julien Gracq to the author of Titanic, mythe moderne et parabole pour notre temps. This book, which is as much a literary and historic essay as it is a philosophic and political meditation, draws from the abundant literature generated by this epic maritime tragedy to examine the reasons for the event’s tremendous impact on the public’s imagination since 1912. It reveals the ways in which the wreck of the Titanic can be understood by those who observe the crises – technological, economic, moral, etc. – permeating today’s troubled era haunted by the awareness of its own vulnerability. “The Titanic is a parable of human vulnerability. The resounding failure of this race to embrace gigantism, speed and profit at an ever more exhilarating and perilous pace carries a message for us in the crisis through which we are now living. The Titanic will, for a long time, undoubtedly continue to alert us to difficult things: death, the annihilation of things and people, the decline of civilisations, etc. Our uncertain and tormented times have brought together all of the conditions to ensure that its myth will resonate in each one of us .”

Guides Belles Lettres des civilisations Directed by Jean-Noël ROBERT
The «Guides Belles Lettres des Civilisations» Collection takes readers on a journey through time and space (to Egypt, Greece, Rome, India, China and Japan). These books were written for students, people interested in history and civilisations, and inveterate travellers… These practical and analytical general education works on the major ancient civilisations of which we still possess a written record provide readers with the keys they need to comprehend ancient texts, history books, or help them to decipher allusions made, and to grasp their complexities. These books, which are organized in a practical manner, can be used in three ways: they can be read straight through (like a typical book) to identify the various aspects of the civilisation being presented, the reader can use the very detailed Table of Contents to directly refer to one of the topic headings comprising each chapter, or the reader may consult the comprehensive index to quickly pinpoint specific information. The maps, tables, and diagrams also enable the reader to focus on essential facts. A selective and updated bibliography allows any reader who so desires to conduct even more thorough research. «Guides Belles Lettres des Civilisations» is not a set of dictionaries. In these books, all documented facts are explained in the context of the specific mentality of each civilisation considered, because it is impossible to understand an historical event, a moral law, or the character of an historical figure if no attempt is made to explain the values that inspired them.

La France de Louis XIV Le Temps des absolus (1643-1715) The France of Louis XIV The Era of Absolutes (1643-1715)
April 2013 - 304 pages
A comprehensive guide to France of the Grand Siècle
From every corner of the globe, visitors flock to Versailles to admire France in all of its glory. This Belles Lettres Guide – like the image of a Louis XIV leading his guests along the paths of his vast palace gardens – invites readers to discover who those esteemed subjects were who transformed the French nation into a greatly respected and admired power. Dignitaries, soldiers, courtesans, intellectuals, artists, not to mention modest countrymen and urban dwellers, each in their own way and despite adversity, supported this common project. The work also strives to familiarize readers with the key events which punctuated this extraordinary period. The book’s chronological approach is supplemented by chapters devoted to French territorial, social and political organisation. It also highlights other typical aspects of that reign: the triumph of the absolute monarchy, modernisation of the State and wars of conquest and supremacy. Although intellectual and artistic progress was undeniable, economic and religious issues are treated from a more critical perspective: the Sun King’s subjects were not spared from misery and intolerance. This portrait would be incomplete without giving readers an opportunity to delve into the universal mindset of this 17th-century man. He was obviously a Frenchman yet someone so very unlike ourselves! This may have been the beginning of an era of gifted philosophers and scientists, but the twenty-one million or so inhabitants of his kingdom had little use for speculations reserved for the privileged members of the court and mundane social circles. For the great majority, the world’s frontiers did not extend far beyond those of the local parish. This book pays tribute to them, as well.

Naples entre Baroque et Lumières Naples from the Baroque Era to the Age of Enlightenment
«See Naples and die» (Vedi Napoli e poi muori ). Why is the splendour of Naples’ landscapes so closely associated with that of its artistic treasures and ruins – and even with death? The Enlightenment illuminated Napolitan 18th-century heavens with the radiance of Cappella Sansevero, the sublime voices of the castrati at the Real Teatro di San Carlo [Royal Theatre of Saint Charles], and the revealed magic of Pompeii, yet the city’s baroque legacy encased in volcanic rock still remains – in its striking obscurity.
