„Die ersten und wichtigsten Siege des Menschen waren die über die Götter.“ Andre Gide, Literaturnobelpreisträger von 1947, lässt Theseus, der Begründer des alten Athens und Überwinder der Gewaltherrschaft des Minotaurus, sein Leben resümieren. Kurz vor seinem Tode erkennt er versöhnt, dass der Menschen Glück und Freiheit trotz allen Elends immer zuerst an Abenteuer- wie Lebenslust gebunden ist, an Respektlosigkeit gegenüber Traditionen und Herrschern. Erst später soll alles in sachliches Abwägen münden. Mit: Peter Lühr, Horst Beilke, Cläre Ruegg u. a. Bearbeitung: Gert Westphal Technische Realisierung: Friedrich Wilhelm Schulz, Lock Regie: Karl Peter Biltz Produktion: SWF 1951

‘Pastoral Senfoni' kitabında, “Kötülük bize sevginin yokluğunda saldırma fırsatı bulur” diyor Andre Gide. Sevginin yokluğu… Bu devirde yokluğu en çok var olan şey sevgi… Kötülüğün saldırılarına bu kadar çok maruz kalışımız da belki buna işaret ediyor. Hepimiz kötülüğün saldırısı altındayız, tehlikedeyiz ve bunun tedirginliği içinde yaşıyoruz.

"The end result was a historical wealth transfer from regular Americans to a handful of billionaires. This wealth transfer, which was heavily premeditated and provably used the COVID-19 crisis as cover, should be treated as an unprecedented theft from the American taxpayer. Yet few Americans know that it even happened." — Unlimited Hangout We've always supposed that Bitcoin was going to challenge the dollar and reign in the irresponsible and corrupt monopoly held by the US govt over the global debt markets. But what if we were wrong? What if the embrace of Bitcoin and stablecoins by the US govt is actually a move that lets them not only maintain their levels of debt and degeneracy, but even expand them for generations to come? What if Bitcoin isn't the downfall of the dollar, but instead its savior? Today we dive into another fantastic exploration of the problem with stablecoins and the political play for dominance being made by establishment powers, with Mark Goodwin's and Whitney Webb's incredible piece, "Trump Embraces the Bitcoin-Dollar."

Hello to you listening in Kirkland, Washington!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.My Camino de Santiago pilgrimage is never far from my thoughts. Folks ask me all the time about the courage it took to walk 500 miles across Spain. But the courage was preceded by curiosity: What's out there? Who might I meet? How will I manage? Do I have what it takes? What if I quit?  Following are some good words to help you step into the adventure that's waiting for you:“You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.” [A.A. Milne]“One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight, for a very long time, of the shore.” [Andre Gide]“Within all of us is a varying amount of space lint and star dust, the residue from our creation. Most are too busy to notice it, and it is stronger in some than others. It is strongest in those of us who fly and is responsible for an unconscious, subtle desire to slip into some wings and try for the elusive boundaries of our origin.” [ K.O. Eckland]Question: What are you curious to know? What courage will it take? What are you waiting for? You're always invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, would you subscribe and spread the word with a generous 5-star review and comment - it helps us all - and join us next time!Meanwhile, stop by my Quarter Moon Story Arts website to:✓ Check out Services I Offer,✓ Arrange your no-sales, Complimentary Coaching Consult,✓ Stay current with Diane on as “Wyzga on Words” on Substack and on LinkedInStories From Women Who Walk Production TeamPodcaster: Diane F Wyzga & Quarter Moon Story ArtsMusic: Mer's Waltz from Crossing the Waters by Steve Schuch & Night Heron MusicAll content and image © 2019 to Present Quarter Moon Story Arts.

Nous sommes le 8 janvier 1897, à la taverne du Globe, place royale à Bruxelles. Ce jour-là a lieu la première rencontre entre André Gide et le romancier belge Georges Eekhoud, publié aux prestigieuses éditions du Mercure de France et lauréat, trois ans plus tôt, du Prix quinquennal de littérature française. L'auteur de « La nouvelle Carthage » est, à l'époque, au centre d'un réseau d'intellectuel.le.s, que l'on appellerait queer, aujourd'hui, et dans son œuvre, il n'hésite pas à légitimer les amours entre hommes, ayant même pris la défense d'Oscar Wilde, condamné en mai 1895 , à la peine maximale de deux ans de travaux forcés pour indécence, en vertu d'une loi interdisant l'homosexualité, en Angleterre. Gide, quant à lui, n'est pas encore le romancier renommé et sulfureux qu'il deviendra et il faut attendre cinq ans avant qu'il n'évoque, à mots couverts, ses préférences. Mais il a, lui aussi, crée son réseau et est lié à Oscar Wilde. Oscar Wilde sera d'ailleurs le mot de passe que les deux écrivains utiliseront pour se reconnaitre au milieu des autres convives qui participent à leur rencontre. Immédiatement, une complicité s'établit entre les deux hommes. André Gide et Georges Eekhoud ne sont pas les seuls à amorcer un engagement en faveur du droit à aimer librement, avec d'autres, ils font partie d'une société dite « marginale » et vont militer, plus ou moins franchement, à travers leur création et jeter des ponts dans le contexte européen de la Belle Epoque. Revenons sur les multiples formes de ces collaborations. Avec nous : Michael Rosenfeld est chercheur postdoctoral de la Research Foundation – Flanders au sein de la Vrije Universiteit Brussel. A dirigé « Intellectuel.les Queer – Collaborations (1880-1920) » ; éd. Université de Bruxelles.

Nous sommes le 17 octobre 1897, à Paris. L'écrivain Pierre Louÿs, auteur des « Chansons de Bilitis » ou de « La femme et le pantin », reçoit la visite de, Il est fou d'elle, elle est mariée à un autre. Il a cru pouvoir l'oublier mais, ce jour-là, son amour enfoui se libère. S'ensuivent deux mois et demi d'une liaison passionnelle, charnelle, qui alimente la fibre créatrice du poète en même temps qu'elle le précipite au bord de l'abîme. Il y aura un avant et un après. L'onde de choc se fera sentir bien des années encore. En octobre 1900, Pierre Louÿs confie à son ami de longue date Paul Valéry : « C'est bien fini, fini, je ne crois plus à la littérature ». L'amour déçu n'est peut-être pas la seule raison au désenchantement de ce novateur qui puisait son inspiration dans la culture gréco-latine et méditerranéenne, sans doute, la maladie, la drogue, sa mise en doute spectaculaire et, pour beaucoup, choquante, de la paternité de l'œuvre de Molière, ont confirmé son enlisement. « Il est presque trop beau pour un homme » avait dit de lui Oscar Wilde. Trop beau pour se survivre, peut-être… Son œuvre est aujourd'hui bien oubliée et si l'on se souvient de lui, c'est pour mettre l'accent sur son érotomanie, on parle de pornographie ; son érudition serait bizarre, on se focalise sur ses relations avec Gide ou Debussy. Pierre Louÿs incarne plus que cela, il est l'une des grandes signatures de l'une des plus grandes période de la littérature. « Croyez que cela devait être beau » griffonne-t-il sur une note peu de temps avant de mourir… Revenons, aujourd'hui, à Pierre Louÿs… Avec nous : Luc Dellisse, romancier, essayiste, membre de l'Académie de langue et de littérature françaises de Belgique. « Entre sexe et silence » in « L'Article » mars 2023, mensuel publié par les éditions Lamiroy. « Le tombeau d'une amitié – André Gide et Pierre Louÿs » ; Les Impressions Nouvelles.

Welcome back to The Literary Life Podcast and our series discussing Howards End by E. M. Forster. This week Angelina Stanford and Thomas Banks cover chapters 26-34. Together they continue to talk about the ideas Forster is presenting in the book as seen in this section, including Howards End as a character, the echoes of Wind in the Willows (thanks to Jen Rogers!), Helen's idealism, Margaret and Henry's conflict, the idea of rootedness, and more. On March 7, 2024 you can join Thomas and his brother James live for a webinar on King Alfred the Great. Register today at houseofhumaneletters.com. The webinar recording will also be available for lifetime access after that date. We hope you will join us for the sixth annual Literary Life Online Conference, “Dispelling the Myth of Modernity: A Recovery of the Medieval Imagination.” During the live or later series of webinars, we will seek to dis-spell the Myth of Modernity and gain eyes to see and ears to hear Reality as it truly is. Speakers include Jason Baxter, Jenn Rogers, and Kelly Cumbee, in addition to Angelina and Thomas. If you want to get the special literary themed teas created by our Patron Erin Miller, go to adagiotea.com to check them out! Commonplace Quotes: Everything has been said already; but since nobody was listening, we shall have to begin all over again. Toutes choses sont dites déjà; mais comme personne n'écoute, il faut toujours recommencer. Andre Gide, from “Narcissus” It is under these “present conditions” of materialism, urbanization, and cosmopolitanism that Howards End poses the question, “Who shall inherit England?” This question is given a lyrical resonance shortly after Margaret tells Helen of her intention to marry Henry. The two women, visiting Aunt Julie at Swanage, gaze across Poole Harbor and watch the tide return. “England was alive, throbbing through all her estuaries, crying for joy through the mouths of all her gulls, and the north wind, with contrary motion, blew stronger against her rising sea,” the narrator records, and then asks: “What did it mean? For what end are her fair complexities, her change of soil, her sinuous coast? Does she belong to those who have moulded her and made her feared by other lands, or to those who had added nothing to her power, but have somehow seen her, seen the whole island at once, lying as a jewel in a silver sea, sailing as a ship of souls, with all the brave world's fleet accompanying her towards eternity?” These questions are at the heart of the book. More crudely stated, they ask whether England belongs to the imperialist or to the yeoman, to those who see life steadily or to those who see it whole, to the prosaic or to the poet. Put another way, they ask whether the inheritors of England are to be people of action or vision. Claude J. Summer, from “E. M. Foster” To E. M. Forster By W. H. Auden Here, though the bombs are real and dangerous, And Italy and Kings are far away, And we're afraid that you will speak to us, You promise still the inner life shall pay. As we run down the slope of Hate with gladness You trip us up like an unnoticed stone, And just as we are closeted with Madness You interrupt us like the telephone. For we are Lucy, Turton, Phillip, we Wish international evil, are excited To join the jolly ranks of the benighted Where Reason is denied and Love ignored: But, as we swear our lie, Miss Avery Comes out into the garden with the sword.

Watch/Listen to this and all episodes ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon for only $5 a month! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom⁠⁠ Dr. Andrew Israel Ross, a historian specializing in European history and the history of sexuality enters the ITBR to discuss his first book “Public City/Public Sex: Homosexuality, Prostitution, and Urban Culture in Nineteenth-Century Paris” where he details the vast modernization efforts in Paris during the enlightenment era that opened the door for a rising gay and lesbian subculture as well as opportunities for women who sold sex and men who sought sex with other men. Dr. Ross opens up about our impulse to find ourselves in the past but emphasizes that understanding historical context can be just as useful. Dr. Ross details the Marquis de Sade's salacious material that helped spread outrageous rumors about Marie Antoinette during her reign. Finally, Dr. Ross links the connection between “19th century queer life” and “the life of working-class women” and wonders if a less constrained sexual politics could arise. Dr. Ross and Andrew discuss the roles of various French historical figures such as: Voltaire, Diderot, the Marquis de Sade, Marie Antoinette, Napoleon, Victor Hugo, Gaston Leroux, Andre Gide, Marcel Proust, Colette, and Jean Genet in this episode and how they've all helped shaped French history and literature in interesting ways.

Writer / Director Andrew Bujalski is actually in the room for this one and we talk about everything from playing the waiting game with actors' agents and the hopeful offers you make, to shooting a film during a global pandemic where no two actors are in the same room. Sometimes you just gotta take that boat and push it all the way out. “One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.” - Andre Gide

There was a time when French people put up picture of Marshal Philippe Petain on their walls. He is a figure of immeasurable stature to the country of France. Victor of Verdun, a one-time minister of war, and finally, a traitor to his country. Or was he? Did Petain allow the stain of collaboration to tarnish his reputation, or did he use his figure to guard the French people from worse Nazi atrocities during the Vichy era? The answer to those questions would divide France in the years following World War II. The trial of Petain, which took place during a humid July in 1945, would leave some venerating the figure of Petain while others looked upon him as betrayer of the French people. Professor Julian Jackson, is professor emeritus of history with Queen Mary University of London. His latest work is France on Trial: The Case of Marshal Pétain published by Harvard University Press in 2023, covers the political trial of Marshal Petain for treason. Dr. Jackson has authored an award-winning biography of Charles de Gaulle and other works on the history of modern France including his next work an exploration of the life of Andre Gide.

Victor of Verdun, a one-time minister of war, and finally, a traitor to his country. Or was he? Did Petain allow the stain of collaboration to tarnish his reputation, or did he use his figure to guard the French people from worse Nazi atrocities during the Vichy era? The answer to those questions would divide France in the years following World War II. The trial of Petain, which took place during a humid July in 1945, would leave some venerating the figure of Petain while others looked upon him as betrayer of the French people. Professor Julian Jackson, is professor emeritus of history with Queen Mary University of London. His latest work is France on Trial: The Case of Marshal Pétain published by Harvard University Press in 2023, covers the political trial of Marshal Petain for treason. Dr. Jackson has authored an award-winning biography of Charles de Gaulle and other works on the history of modern France including his next work an exploration of the life of Andre Gide.

Barry Forshaw – Oldcastle Books – £12.99 Is there any man or woman in England who knows more about crime writing than Barry Forshaw? Here at The Books Podcast he is our go-to man. He is also delightful company. Simenon's Maigret books are the most successful non-anglophone crime series in the world. Easily up there with Sherlock Holmes and Philip Marlowe, but with an entirely different approach to detection. Maigret is closer to psychologist or priest than sleuth. But Simenon regarded his romans dur – hard novels – as his real writing, and Andre Gide said he was the greatest French novelist of his time. Having fairly recently come to … Continue reading →

Even when you're equipped with quickstart materials (as we discussed a few episode ago...!), it can be daunting to prepare your/your players' first Changeling game. Many of the potential speed bumps can be smoothed over with a solid Session Zero, where everyone gets together, talks about the characters they want to play, the particular game and story they expect to craft, and the questions they need answered before diving into the roleplaying "proper". In this episode, we draw on our experiences both great and abysmal, to inform our takes on some important things to think about in general and for Changeling in particular. This is by no means a tutorial on "how to Storytell," but we hope that it will helpfully enrich your own playing style. Our social media links, if you'd care to leave some feedback, show your appreciation, or just scream like an opossum in the night: Discord: https://discord.me/ctpEmail: podcast@changelingthepodcast.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100082973960699Mastodon: https://dice.camp/@ChangelingPodPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/changelingthepodcast consent documents In this episode, we make reference to these documents, which some Storytellers like to circulate before starting to supplement the "lines" and "veils" deployed in-game. They're usually checklists of topics which might be triggering for players, giving them the opportunity to highlight specific items they don't want in a game. There are a variety of these out in the world, but here are three (free) examples: Monte Cook's "Consent in Gaming" booklet: https://www.montecookgames.com/store/product/consent-in-gaming/Gehenna Gaming's WoD/horror-centered checklist/safety document: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1g5c2GhmnJYaGIDFKlxgXLL_GruGPNncv/view?usp=sharingAnother WoD-centered example, from DTRPG: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/314220/World-of-Darkness-RPG-Consent-Checklist-A4 your hosts Josh Hillerup (any pronoun) requires players to handwrite their sheets with calligraphy on parchment if they take Title greater than 2.

Professor Kozlowski wrestles with one of the thorniest issues in the discussion of literature ethics: how do we reckon with bad people who make great art? Jumping off from Maritain's The Responsibility of the Artist, he attempts to lay out an explanation of 1) How realistic and compelling depictions of evil in art and literature don't have to be necessarily immoral; 2) How it may be possible for bad people to make compelling, powerful, and impeccably moral art; 3) Where and when it is appropriate to support good art by bad artists, and when it is utterly immoral. It may not be perfect, but it is an attempt to make sense of this complicated issue. Suggested supplementary readings include: Andre Gide's The Immoralists Francois Mauriac's The Viper's Knot David Foster Wallace's "This is Water" To see what else Professor Kozlowski is up to, visit his webpage: https://professorkozlowski.wordpress.com/ And please consider contributing to Professor Kozlowski's Patreon at: https://www.patreon.com/ProfessorKozlowski - where you'll also be able to vote for and suggest new topics for future lectures.

Folks ask me all the time about the courage it took to walk 500 miles across Spain. But the courage was preceded by curiosity: What's out there? Who might I meet? How will I manage? Do I have what it takes? What if I quit?  Following are some good words to help you step into the adventure that's waiting for you:“You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.” [A.A. Milne]“One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight, for a very long time, of the shore.” [Andre Gide]“Within all of us is a varying amount of space lint and star dust, the residue from our creation. Most are too busy to notice it, and it is stronger in some than others. It is strongest in those of us who fly and is responsible for an unconscious, subtle desire to slip into some wings and try for the elusive boundaries of our origin.” [ K.O. Eckland]Question: What are you curious to know? What courage will it take? What are you waiting for? You're invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, follow, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time!

XXXIII: In celebration of Edith Wharton's birthday on January 24, The Gilded Gentleman takes a look at a very special part of Wharton's life - her life in Paris.  Wharton knew Paris from her childhood and made many trips there as a young married adult. But in her early 40's, the city became something more for her - it became a place where she finally felt connected and grounded as a creative and artistic woman. And to her surprise, it was a place where she found romantic love with a man (not her husband) at a most unexpected time in her life. This episode takes a look at where and how Wharton lived in her years in Paris - and why and how she ultimately transferred her life to France, leaving her American life behind -- except in her most famous fiction. We'll take a look at Paris the city as well, how it was evolving in the early years of the 20th century and just who some of the most artistic spirits were at the time, including Marcel Proust and Andre Gide and which became Wharton's most influential mentors and friends. Produced by Bowery Boys Media, edited by Kieran Gannon.FURTHER LISTENING:A Sprig of Witch Hazel: Edith Wharton's Secret Love AffairEdith Wharton's New York

BARRY FORSHAW chats to Paul Burke about SIMENON: THE MAN, THE BOOKS, THE FILMS. A 21st Century re-examination of SIMENON, Maigret and the Romans Durs novels, a wide ranging discussion of everything from Simenon's place in French literature to Robert Newton and Spartacus. SIMENON: THE MAN, THE BOOKS, THE FILMS The legendary Georges Simenon was the most successful and influential writer of crime fiction in a language other than English; Andre Gide called him 'the greatest French novelist of our times'. Celebrated crime fiction expert Barry Forshaw's informed and lively study draws together Simenon's extraordinary life and his work on both page and screen. By the time of Simenon's death in 1989, his French detective Maigret had become an institution, rivalled only by Sherlock Holmes. The pipe-smoking Inspector of Police is a quietly spoken observer of human nature who uses the techniques of psychology on those he encounters (both the guilty and the innocent) - with no rush to moral condemnation. Simenon's non-Maigret standalone books are among the most commanding in the genre, and, as a trenchant picture of French society, his concise novels collectively offer up a fascinating analysis. And his influence on an army of later crime writers is incalculable. Alongside his own considerable insights, Barry Forshaw has interviewed people who worked either with Simenon or on his books: publishers, editors, translators, and other specialist writers. He has created a literary prism through which to appreciate one of the most distinctive achievements in the whole of crime fiction.Barry Forshaw is one of the UK's leading experts on crime fiction and film. Books include Crime Fiction: A Reader's Guide, Nordic Noir, Italian Cinema, American Noir and British Crime Film. Other work: Sex and Film, British Gothic Cinema, Euro Noir, Historical Noir, BFI War of the Worlds and the Keating Award-winners British Crime Writing Encyclopedia and Brit Noir.

Preface“Do you know what it is I dislike about  writing?—All the scratchings out and touchings up that are necessary . . . . It's the power of revising that makes writing such a colorless affair . . . . That's what seems to me so fine about life. It's like fresco-painting—erasures aren't allowed.”Lafcadio, in Andre Gide's, Les Caves du Vatican (Lafcadio's Adventures), translated by Dorothy BussyI WOULD NEVER have written this story if Porky White hadn't insisted on it. Not long after I finished Call Me Larry, Porky threw a party to announce the addition of Frizzlin' Fritters to the menu at his Kap'n Klam family restaurants. At one point in the evening Porky and I found ourselves standing side by side at the bar, waiting for fresh drinks, eating fritters. On the whole, these fritters were not bad. Like all the other items on the Kap'n Klam menu that are not actually billed as clams (the Baked Stuffed Stuffin', Marvelous Mush, Krumbs Kasino, and Bubblin' Broth, for instance), they were flavored with the secret concentrate that Porky had developed, Klamessence. Porky asked me what I was going to work on next.     “I'm not sure,” I said.     “Tell the story of the Young Tars,” he said.     I shuddered and said, “No, thanks. That's one of those dark, gritty bits at the bottom of my life that I'd just as soon forget. Every time I face an audience, there is a moment, just before I start to read, when the memory of that night returns, every detail. My palms start to sweat and I look out at the people sitting there, waiting for me to start, and I find myself wishing that I'd had the foresight to lock the doors so that they couldn't get out. No thanks.”     “Peter!” he exclaimed. “I really am surprised at you. That's kind of a narrow, self-centered way of looking at it, isn't it?”     “Perhaps,” I said, “but remember that this is my personal history—and so forth.”     “Not entirely,” he said. “There are other people in it, aren't there?”     “Come on, Porky,” I said.     “Come on, nothing. This is important to me. The Tars may have been nothing but dark, gritty bits in your life, but in mine those dark, gritty bits had silver linings.”     “I know,” I said, “but—”     “But me no buts,” said Porky. “Just look around this room.”     I did. Dozens of young men and women, models made up to appear to be of high-school age, the age of most of the help at the Kap'n Klam restaurants, circulated around the room, passing drinks and platters of Kap'n Klam specialties. The uniforms they wore were identical to the uniforms we Tars had worn years ago, just as the ranks that Kap'n Klam workers carried were the ranks we Tars had carried years ago. The Tars had been the inspiration for the nautical touches and organizational scheme that were so much a part of the Kap'n Klam success.     “I'll make you a deal,” said Porky, his eyes atwinkle. Leaning toward me, grabbing at my shoulder, he said, “I'll tell you what Klamessence is if you'll write the story of the Young Tars.”     “Not a fair bargain,” I said.     “What's not a fair bargain?” asked Albertine. She draped herself on my shoulder and took a sip of her martini.     “I'll tell him what Klamessence is if he'll write the story of the Young Tars,” said Porky.     “Is that the story with the ‘prendergast' in it?” asked Al.     “Yeah,” said Porky, and he chuckled. “Come on, Peter.”     “Oh, go ahead and write it,” said Al. “How long can it take?”     “All right,” I said. “I'll do it.” For, after all, why not? It does explain why I'm uneasy before an audience and why I no longer carry a pocket notebook.     “Okay, then,” said Porky. “Come here.”     He motioned us into a huddle. Al and I drew closer, so that the three of us formed a tight circle.     “All the items that say ‘klam' have real clams in them,” said Porky.  He raised his right hand. “I swear they do. But all the rest of the stuff has Klamessence in it. That's the real secret of my success. That's how I get people who don't like clams to eat at a Kap'n Klam joint—Klamessence.” He looked over his shoulder, turned back toward us, lowered his voice. “Klamessence is chicken fat—schmaltz. People go into a Kap'n Klam, eat an order of Baked Stuffed Stuffin' with Klamessence, and leave saying, ‘Gee, I never tried clams before, but they're good. They taste like chicken.'”Peter LeroyAluminum Commodore (retired)Small's IslandSeptember 25, 1986(Last revision October 16, 1991)In Topical Guide 208, Mark Dorset considers Writing: Personal Motives for and Attitudes Toward and Terror: Preceding Public Readings of One's Own Work from this episode.Have you missed an episode or two or several?You can begin reading at the beginning or you can catch up by visiting the archive or consulting the index to the Topical Guide.You can listen to the episodes on the Personal History podcast.

He attended the lycée at Montpellier and studied law at the University of Montpellier. Valéry left school early to move to Paris and pursue a life as a poet. In Paris, he was a regular member of Stéphane Mallarmé's Tuesday evening salons. It was at this time that he began to publish poems in avant-garde journals.In 1892, while visiting relatives in Genoa, Valéry underwent a stark personal transformation. During a violent thunderstorm, he determined that he must free himself "at no matter what cost, from those falsehoods: literature and sentiment." He devoted the next twenty years to studying mathematics, philosophy, and language. From 1892 until 1912, he wrote no poetry. He did begin, however, to keep his ideas and notes in a series of journals, which were published in twenty-nine volumes in 1945. He also wrote essays and the book La Soirée avec M. Teste (The Evening with Monsieur Teste, 1896).Valéry supported himself during this period first with a job in the War Department, and then as a secretary at the Havas newspaper agency. This job required him to work only a few hours per day, and he spent the rest of his time pursuing his own ideas. He married Jeannie Gobillard in 1900, and they had one son and one daughter. In 1912 Andre Gide persuaded Valéry to collect and revise his earlier poems. In 1917 Valéry published La Jeune Parque (The Young Fate), a dramatic monologue of over five-hundred lines, and in 1920 he published Album de vers anciens, 1890-1920 (Album of Old Verses). His second collection of poetry, Charmes (Charms) appeared in 1922. Despite tremendous critical and popular acclaim, Valéry again put aside writing poetry. In 1925 he was elected to the Académe Francaise. He spent the remaining twenty years of his life on frequent lecture tours in and out of France, and he wrote numerous essays on poetry, painting, and dance. Paul Valéry died in Paris in July of 1945 and was given a state funeral.From https://poets.org/poet/paul-valery.For more information about Paul Valéry:Previously on The Quarantine Tapes:Jorie Graham about Valéry, at 31:20: https://quarantine-tapes.simplecast.com/episodes/the-quarantine-tapes-139-jorie-grahamMaggie Nelson about Valéry, at 16:10: https://quarantine-tapes.simplecast.com/episodes/the-quarantine-tapes-048-maggie-nelson“Paul Valéry”: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/paul-valeryReflections on the World Today: https://www.amazon.com/Reflections-World-Today-Paul-Valery/dp/B000HI6A18

Friedrich Nietzsche  was a German philosopher born in 1844.  His most famous and probably greatest work is Thus Spoke Zarathustra. In this episode, we take a look at some of the things he has to say about science and truth. 

Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette znana pod pseudonimem Colette to francuska pisarka, autorka powieści obyczajowo-psychologicznych. opartych głównie na motywach autobiograficznych. To niewątpliwie cały cyklu o Klaudynie.Colette wyróżniała się spośród współczesnych jej twórców takich jak Andre Gide, Romain Rolland czy Jean Giraudoux tematyką swoich dzieł. Jej styl jest pozornie nieskomplikowany, ale wyszukany.Za to doceniali ja krytycy.Ale nie tylko ze swoich powieści jest sławna Colette. Jej życie uczuciowo - erotyczne też było niebanalne i jej zachowania względem kobiet i mężczyzn były niejednokrotnie przyczyną wielu plotek i skandali.O życiu i twórczości Colette opowiada prof. Krystyna Wojtynek - Musik.

André Gide est un écrivain français, né à Paris 6e le 22 novembre 1869 et mort à Paris 7e le 19 février 19511. Après une jeunesse perturbée par le puritanisme de son milieu, jeune Parisien, où il se lie d'une amitié intense et tourmentée, avec Pierre Louÿs, il tente de s'intégrer au milieu littéraire post symboliste et d'épouser sa cousine. Une rencontre avec Oscar Wilde et un voyage intiatique avec Paul Albert Laurens le font rompre avec le protestantisme et vivre son homosexualité péderaste. Il écrit, notamment Paludes qui clotûre sa période symboliste et, après la mort « libératrice » de sa mère, ses noces avec sa cousine Madeleine, il achève Les Nourritures terrestres, dont le lyrisme est salué par une partie de la critique à sa parution en 1897 mais qui est aussi critiqué pour son individualisme. Après des échecs au théâtre, il s'affirme comme un romancier moderne dans la construction et dans les thématiques et s'impose dans les revues littéraires. Si André Gide y soutient le combat des Dreyfusards, mais sans militantisme, il préfére les amitiés littéraires — Roger Martin du Gard, Paul Valéry ou Francis Jammes —, amitiés qui s'effacent parfois avec le temps comme celle de Pierre Louys. C'est avec ces amis qu'il crée La Nouvelle Revue française (NRF) dont il est le chef de file et joue dès lors, un rôle important dans les lettres françaises. Parallèlement, il publie des romans sur le couple comme L'Immoraliste en 1902 ou La Porte étroite en 1909 qui le font connaître. Ses autres romans publiés avant et après la Première Guerre mondiale — Les Caves du Vatican (1914) délibérément disloqué, La Symphonie pastorale (1919), son livre le plus lu, traitant du conflit entre la morale religieuse et les sentiments, Les Faux-monnayeurs (1925) à la narration non linéaire — l'établissent comme un écrivain moderne de premier plan auquel on reproche parfois une certaine préciosité. Les préoccupations d'une vie privée marquée par l'homosexualité assumée et le désir de bousculer les tabous sont à l'origine de textes plus personnels comme Corydon (publié tardivement en 1924) où il défend l'homosexualité et la pédérastie, puis Si le grain ne meurt (1926), récit autobiographique qui relate sa petite enfance bourgeoise, ses attirances pour les garçons et sa vénération pour sa cousine Madeleine qu'il finit pas épouser tout en menant une vie privée compliquée. Plaque au 1bis rue Vaneau, Paris 7e Son œuvre trouve ensuite un nouveau souffle avec la découverte des réalités du monde auxquelles il est confronté. Ainsi le voyageur esthète découvre l'Afrique noire et publie en 1927 le journal de son Voyage au Congo, dans lequel il dénonce les pratiques des compagnies concessionnaires mais aussi celles de l'administration coloniale et l'attitude de la majorité des Européens à l'égard des colonies. Au début des années 1930, il s'intéresse au communisme, s'enthousiasme pour l'expérience soviétique, mais subit une désillusion lors de son voyage sur place à l'été 1936. Il publie son témoignage la même année, Retour de l'U.R.S.S., qui lui vaut les attaques haineuses des communistes. Il persiste cependant dans sa dénonciation du totalitarisme soviétique au moment des procès de Moscou et s'engage, parallèlement, dans le combat des intellectuels contre le fascisme. En 1940, accablé par les circonstances, il abandonne la NRF et quasiment l'écriture en se repliant sur la Côte d'Azur, puis en Afrique du Nord durant la guerre. Après la guerre, il est mis à l'écart de la vie littéraire, mais honoré par le prix Nobel de littérature en 1947, et il se préoccupe dès lors de la publication intégrale de son Journal. Il meurt le 19 février 1951.

Today's podcast kicks off a mini-series of podcasts dealing with the theme of Courage. During this extremely difficult time when we are fighting the Coronavirus pandemic, people all over the world are showing great courage every day. Doctors, nurses, police, and first responders are all risking their lives every day to try to save others. So the theme of courage was on my mind as I looked through my gift book for graduating senior athletes called, Inspiration for the Graduate. I found so many good quotes in the chapter on courage that I decided I needed to do more than just one episode on courage. It's fitting, though, as people all over the world deserve our attention for the courage they are displaying.The quote I start off with is one of my favorites on the concept of courage. Although the courage in this quote is not a go-to-war or battle-a-pandemic kind of courage, it is still a courage nonetheless. The quote is by a French author named Andre Gide. You have probably seen it on motivational posters and calendars before. "Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore." I love how this quote talks about the kind of courage that people show everyday by stepping out of their comfort zones and trying new things. The courage it takes to attack a new venture, ask someone out on a date, start a new job, ask a boss for a raise, and so many more things are the types of courage that are at the heart of this quote. This is a kind of courage that is not as big and bold as saving lives, but in many ways is just as important. Because if you are not willing to step out of your comfort zone and go for the things you truly want in life, are you really living your life to its fullest?

02 Mai 1927 - Andre Gide À soi-même est une éphéméride littéraire, une collection de textes autobiographiques datés du jour même. Les extraits choisis s’étalent sur plus de mille ans, depuis le Journal de Izumi Shikibu (1002 -1004), jusqu’aux années 2000. Pour constituer ce corpus, nous avons lu de très nombreux journaux, principalement entre 2008 et 2013. Ces textes ont été ensuite enregistrés en studio par des acteurs, puis montés. Ce fut une entreprise importante de trouver et réunir ces 366 textes pour autant de jours de l’année. Le mois que les écrivains préfèrent est statistiquement le mois de mars. Aucune date ne manque évidemment, certains ayant pris soin de consigner leur vie entière dans un journal, comme ce fut le cas par exemple de Henri-Frédéric Amiel (17.000 pages au total). Ce projet sera diffusé prochainement dans une cabine d’écoute nomade. Mais nous le partageons avec vous ici. Sébastien Roux et Olivier Vadrot. Voix : Agnès Pontier et Guillaume Rannou

"Be faithful to that which exists within yourself." -Andre Gide This episode, Brett and Aaliya discuss: effective goal-setting, the Seven Equities, what to do once you've fallen off track, and their New Year Resolutions. Keys: The Podcast with Brett Scott, Life Coach & Aaliya Bashir, Health & Wellness Enthusiast FOLLOW US : www.instagram.com/keysthepodcast We share the 'keys' to self-actualization and growth. According to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, self-actualization is the 5th, or zenith, of the hierarchy of needs, after the 4 “deprivation needs” that must be satisfied in the five levels of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. They are called as such because it is satisfied by the absence of its lacking and once a person no longer lacks these four, a person is now ready to satisfy the highest level, “growth need,” which is self-actualization, or the need to become what one is capable of being, whatever it may be. There are five different levels of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, in order of lowest to highest: Physiological, Security and Safety, Social, Esteem, and Self-Actualization.

La figura de Antonieta Rivas Mercado es fascinante, su extraordinaria personalidad todavía nos produce una extraña seducción, la mujer polifacética que habitó en muchos tiempos y espacios. Hija del célebre arquitecto Antonio Rivas Mercado. La integrante de los grupos literarios y artísticos: Ulises y Contemporáneos. La amiga de tantos personajes: Salvador Novo, Xavier Villaurrutia, Gilberto Owen, Federico García Lorca, Alfonso Reyes, Manuel Rodríguez Lozano, Julio Castellanos, Emilio Amero, Arturo Pani, Mariano Azuela, Gabriela Mistral. La pareja sentimental de José Vasconcelos. La escritora y traductora. La actriz y directora teatral. La profesora universitaria. La auspiciadora de tantos proyectos culturales. Antonieta no sólo fue una escritora, iba a convertirse en una magnífica escritora, muy completa. Sus escritos están totalmente vinculados con la obra de sus compañeros de Contemporáneos, con un fuerte influjo de autores como: André Gide, Marcel Proust, Jean Giraudoux, James Joyce. Es muy lamentable observar cómo Antonieta estaba empezando un camino significativo dentro de la literatura cuando decidió terminar con su vida.

As we see ourselves and our experience in a brand new way, things that used to comfort us don’t in the same way. Old identities and plans no longer fit. That’s a beautiful thing! Old, limiting concepts are falling away. Although it’s a wonderful sign of change, it’s definitely not always comfortable. Listen in to hear how to navigate the uncharted waters of change with as much ease and security as possible. “One doesn’t discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time”—Andre Gide  

"One does not find new land without first consenting to loose site of shore for a very long time" (Andre Gide, French Poet) I have been greatly inspired by this quote. It has provided me with a layered metaphor that i have been turning to in effort to remain consistent in all my pursuits. Sharing my thoughts on this for whoever it may resonate with.

06/12/2019 The True Threat of Marxism, Socialism, Communism in America and The History of Global Genocide of 100's of Millions Under Communism: Article From www.Heritage.org Some conservatives may be discouraged by the latest surveys confirming that nearly one-half of millennials are receptive to living under socialism and regard capitalism as a captive of greed. In fact, they present us with a golden opportunity to educate all Americans about the manifold failures of socialism and the miraculous advances the world has made under free enterprise. For example, the Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson revealed at a Heritage Foundation event that between 2000 and 2012, “the rate of absolute poverty in the world fell by 50 percent.” That is, “the poor in the world are getting rich at a rate that is absolutely unparalleled in all of human history.” Heritage’s 2019 Index of Economic Freedom reported that the greatest advances came in African and Asian countries (such as Botswana and Taiwan) that limited rather than expanded the role of government. More than 100 countries, many of them with less developed or emerging economies, showed marked advances in economic growth and individual prosperity.   Such good news is seldom reported by the mainstream media, Dr. Peterson said, because of the technological revolution that’s occurring in every form of media. All the broadcast networks, leading newspapers and magazines exist in a shrinking market with dwindling margins of profit. To attract attention they are turning to an old journalism axiom: “If it bleeds, it leads.”   The news media obsess over the latest school shooting and bloody street riot. And yet, Dr. Peterson pointed out, the rates of violent crime in the United States and in most places “have plummeted in the last 50 years.” The U.S. is now safer than it has been since the early 1960s, but the reporting of violent crime in America has materially increased as the mainstream media, in pursuit of ratings and revenue, have highlighted the dark side of society. Conservatives must step forward to tell the truth about capitalism: the better life it has brought to billions of people, the diversity and freedom of choice it celebrates, the individual responsibility it encourages, the continuing miracle of Adam Smith’s “invisible hand,” its rejection of government planning that always leads to dictatorship. Which brings us to the urgent task of exposing the chimera that socialism is just another political system. Sen. Bernie Sanders, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and their fellow socialists carefully omit any mention of the principles laid down by Karl Marx, the founding father of Socialism, such as the abolition of private property and the centralization of the means of production and of decision-making. But make no mistake: there are radical socialists waiting in the wings to promote these extreme initiatives. It’s up to us to tell the truth. Socialists promise a classless society but create the prison camps of the Gulag and the Isle of Pines. They assure peace but engage in wars of national liberation. They abolish private property but depend upon the underground economy. They stamp out religion but worship Big Brother. They bring down corrupt dictators but institute a dictatorship of the Party. Here are some of the most telling failures of socialism. One, socialism has never succeeded anywhere, including the Marxism-Leninism of the Soviet Union, the National Socialism of Nazi Germany, the Maoism of Communist China, the Chavez-Maduro socialism of Venezuela. It has never come close anywhere to Marx’s ideal of a classless society. Two, Karl Marx has been wrong about nearly everything he predicted. The nation-state has not withered away. Capitalism didn’t break down as a result of the Industrial Revolution. Workers haven’t become revolutionaries but capitalists. The middle class hasn’t disappeared; indeed, it has expanded exponentially around the world (see the above about the sharp decline in global poverty). Marx’s attempt to use Hegel to create a “scientific socialism” has been an abject failure. Three, socialism denies the existence of an essential human trait – human nature. Marx borrowed from the Enlightenment to declare that human nature was malleable, not constant. Christian theology with its idea of a fixed God-given nature infuriated Marx. The socialist state established by Lenin tried for seven decades to create an entirely new human being – Soviet Man. In December 1991, Mikhail Gorbachev gave up trying and dissolved the world’s most spectacular failure in human engineering. Four, socialism depends not upon the will of the people but on the dictatorship of the Party to remain in power. In “The God That Failed,” six famous Western intellectuals describe their journey into socialism and their exit when they encountered the gigantic gap between their vision of a socialist utopia and the totalitarian reality of the socialist state. After visiting the Soviet Union, the French Nobel Laureate writer Andre Gide said: “I doubt where in any country in the world – not even in Hitler’s Germany – have the mind and spirit ever been less free, more bent, more terrorized and indeed vassalized than in the Soviet Union.” What price socialism? The Chinese philosopher Lin Yutang listed the “little terrors” that prevailed in China – making children of 12 subject to capital punishment, sending women to work in underground coal mines, harassing workers during their lunchtime with threats of prison if they were late returning to work. A Soviet defector said of the perpetual surveillance: “We lived in a world swarming with invisible eyes and ears.” Given the ignorance of so many of our fellow especially young Americans, telling the truth about socialism has become an imperative. If we do not, Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez and their fellow travelers will fill the vacuum with their misleading rhetoric. This is the truth about socialism: It is a pseudo-religion founded in pseudo-science and enforced by political tyranny. This piece originally appeared in Fox News

This week, we learn from Tricia Barger, owner of Poppy Tree Design and Yoga Instructor, on the benefits of simplicity, the beauty of silence and how empowering minimalism can be. The topic of wellness has been monetized to the point where it no longer makes you “well” - so Tricia resets the button, looks at the forest from the trees and gives some tips on how you can find out what “wellness” actually means for you. In the words of Andre Gide’s “Fruits of the Earth” - “As women in the pale East wear their entire fortune on their persons, so I have always carried with me all my possessions. At every smallest moment of my life, I have felt within me the whole of my wealth.” In her words, “Five minutes of silence can change the world.” And wine, Tricia. Wine can change the world, too.

Dervişin Teselli Koleksiyonu kitabının yazarından, kitap içeriği üzerine kısa sohbetler. Doğu’dan Batı’dan 99 Teselli Kederli günlerden geçen derviş, rüya âleminde bir adaya uğrar. Gördüğü şey mucizevidir. Peygamberler, veliler, âlimler ve filozoflar bir halka şeklinde oturmakta ve anlaşıldığı kadarıyla birini beklemektedirler.

Cecilia Uddén inleder Europrideveckan med ett program om gaycation i Mellanöstern - då och nu. Sverige firar prideveckan - med regnbågsflaggor i köttdisken på snabbköpet, på bussar och reklampelare för allt från resebyråer till myndigheter. Till och med försvarsmakten skiftar från kamouflage till regnbåge. Men i Mellanöstern, där Cecilia Uddén normalt bor, kan man hamna i fängelse om man vecklar ut en regnbågsflagga under en konsert. Om HBTQ i Mellanöstern handlar Radiokorrespondenterna denna vecka. Bisittare är Fredrik Apollo Asplund, också känd som Dr Bög, som i dagarna kommer ut med sin bok "Fröding dansade inte på gayklubb i Damaskus men det gjorde jag." Vi pratar idag om gaycation - bögsemester - nu och då. Om Oscar Wilde, Jean Genet och Andre Gide som på sin tid flydde från ett bigott Europa för att åka på ett slags kolonial gaycation i Nordafrika och Mellanöstern. Gäster: Apollo Asplund, Roger Wilson, Agri Ibrahim. Producent: Fabian Asserbäck Programledare: Cecilia Uddén

What we cover: "You have to lose sight of the shore, to discover new lands." -- Andre Gide, paraphrased    For those of you who listen to the show on a regular basis, it’s not news that I am a huge proponent of perspective shifting. And of gear shifting. Of being adaptable and of having the ability to readjust as needed. As we were planning our recent trip to California, I had a couple leads with amazing LA-based Guest Titans, both of which didn’t end up panning out at the last minute. Because we couldn’t get schedules to align. At first I was a bit disappointed, but that feeling didn’t last long when I reminded myself that it meant I would, instead, get two full days, and not just one, at Disneyland with my 2-year-old and my 4-year-old daughters. Time that, one day, when they have left home to create their own adult lives, I will pine for. And, since this podcast started as a gift to them, so that they will have an inventory of conversations with paradigm-busting perspective-shifters to draw from at various times whenever they feel stuck, I want to tell you now, JouJou and Birdie, that while there is much to be said for achieving and pursuing your big beautiful goals, there is also much to be said for achieving and pursuing big beautiful memories. And our second day together, a day we wouldn’t have had if my two interviews had materialized, saw us instead having breakfast with none other than Princess Ariel, and we were able to squeeze in a live performance of Frozen – two events, two memories, that, seen through the eyes of two special little kids – that were well worth all the delayed goals in the world. I share that story today because I needed the reminder to get out of my own way – to take the headphones off, to back away from the mic, to throw caution to the wind. I needed to, as I heard Elsa belt out on stage… “Let it go!” Perspective shifts happen when we twist the kaleidoscope on our traditional way of seeing things. Nearly 20 years ago, when I was a mid-20-something-year-old junior copywriter in Toronto, I was in the throes of ending a 5-year relationship with a person I knew I shouldn’t be with. The relationship had long run its course, but it was familiar. It was what I knew. And leaving, despite the mundane rut and the repeat betrayals, wasn’t easy. I eventually took a job as a copywriter with the same ad agency but in its Vancouver office, figuring that if I couldn’t completely end the relationship, then at the very least, geography would give me a push, as he finished his post-graduate studies in Toronto. However, even in Vancouver, old habits died hard – there were still phone calls and emails and even short visits. I had 9 toes in Vancouver, but still had one toe in Toronto. In those early months, when I was getting my Vancouver bearings, meeting new friends and colleagues -- a client who would go on to become a dear friend and a bestselling author and even, in fact, a Guest Titan years later, recognized the self-sabotaging pattern I was creating and said something that changed it all for me. She gave me that kaleidoscope twist. She told me: “Mary-Jo... you have to lose sight of the shore, before you can discover new lands.”   I had to let go entirely. I had to let go of what I considered a life preserver, despite the fact the relationship was, in actuality, more of an anchor keeping me from the discovery of new lands. I had to sail into the great unknown. And that night, something shifted – my perspective. And I allowed myself, psychically and emotionally, to chart new waters. All I needed was to hear Gina Mollicone-Long (episode 19) remind me that it was time for me to lose sight of the shore. It was time for me to discover new lands.  Of course learning to let go certainly isn’t relegated to unhealthy relationships. It can be a negative relationship with food or addiction. It can be moving on from a stagnant career. It can be the desire to pursue a whole new field, a whole new passion, a whole new hobby. Regardless, we have to lose sight of the shore, before we can discover new land.  I mention this today for two reasons. One, to remind JouJou and Birdie of this, when they might be hanging on to something a little too long, despite wanting so desperately to seek out the freshness, the excitement of a new opportunity. And, secondly, I mention it because I find myself faced yet again with the decision to lose sight of an old shore – an old way of doing things -- in order to discover a new land. Mark Twain said: “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”   MJDionne.com
