Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio proposes a perception of reality and of what lies beyond it. The rational, the irrational and the transrational are fundamentally linked to this author's writing. His writing is a philosophy of existence, with all its certainties and uncertainties. Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio's writing is marked by reflection and perpetual questioning. One might even say that it is writing at the frontiers of human thought in its relationship to knowledge and truth. The questions that pile up in Leclézio's novels bear witness to a kind of repeated anxiety that runs through the stories and the characters.

This book aims to analyze the profiles of women built in the poetics of Chico Buarque, confronting myths and legends that projected the image of women over time, contributing to literary studies on the subject. Francisco Buarque de Hollanda, better known as Chico Buarque, is a musician, playwright and writer who became an icon in Brazilian culture, because when we talk about Brazilian popular music (MPB) in the decades of 1960 - 70 it is impossible not to make reference to Chico, due to his great contribution to the cultural scene of the country. Thus, the research aims to understand, through literary analysis, the meanings put in the songs of Chico Buarque, in which he thematizes the female figure, conflicting with the fact that the female is considered a social marginality, in various periods of history.

De stumme gudinder er en håndtegners hyldest til de kvindelige filmskuespillere, der gennem deres optræden på det hvide lærred i stumfilmens æra ikke alene skrev sig ind i filmhistorien, men desuden var med til at bane vejen for den moderne, selvstændige kvinde.

Today, technology invades man's life, often to the point of depriving him of happiness, which justifies the need of the 21st century man for a refuge where he can find his lost happiness. Among these writers, Michel Tournier in Vendredi ou les limbes du Pacifique pushes this fugitive man to an island where he not only finds life, but also begins the search for himself. Thus, as the story progresses, the physical journey takes on another form, that of the inner journey. At the same time, Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio treats the same theme in Désert from his own point of view. What attracts attention in these two works is the fact that the journey is first physical, before turning into an inner quest. Indeed, the characters leave their homes and it is through this physical displacement that their communication with the outside world evolves.

IN THE WORLD Some countries in Latin America and Africa, two centuries and fifty years after their independence respectively, have not yet managed to solve economic underdevelopment. This is in spite of the theories, models, economic solutions available or the abundant presence of scholars and experts in the field. Our research has uncovered the main phenomenon that has always prevented and complicated the sustainable resolution of problems in nations, while at the same time transmitting the problems from generation to generation. Our research has just discovered the main phenomenon that prevents even the great scholars and experts from discovering the root causes that produce most of the problem. Now with this discovery, the world will easily solve its public problems. The results of our research provide a new approach to sustainable problem solving. TO THE DRC The results of our research bring the only adequate solution that is missing not only today but since the time of Mobutu to solve durably the socio-political crisis of the DRC.

A writer of passion and death, Duras can also be described as a writer of the intimate. As shown in the stories of the sixties, Moderato Cantabile, Ten and a half hours of the evening in summer, Hiroshima my love and The Ravishment of Lol V. Stein, the silence around which the texts are built, the mystery that surrounds the female characters and their feelings, are the sign of an "intimate" experience kept secret, internalized, never quite expressed. In these works, Duras tirelessly tries to penetrate the intimacy of the heroines by seeking to uncover and understand their experiences, this painful and personal history that remains buried. Duras will thus only write and rewrite the traumatic event lived by her heroines. The lack and the absence, omnipresent motives also associated with the female characters, turn out to echo an impossible mourning. While this process of rewriting is indicative of a quest for a solution, Duras seems far from having resolved the heroines' immemorial past, since absence, love and death are directly or indirectly linked to childhood, to the mother and to the death of the younger brother.

Sociologists and writers, all agreed on a common point of view: the family has changed, and even more so it is in crisis. I wanted to do a research on Hervé Bazin's novel, Qui j'ose aimer, because in his work, man is celebrated and the family is the central theme of all his novels. I will try to see how this family mutation in the broad sense is transposed in the novel and influences the relationships between all the members of the family. What I also found very interesting was the fact that the novel was about a matriarchal family (recomposed towards the end) and this phenomenon is similar to that of today where many women live alone or live only with their children, the traditional figure of the father not being so important anymore. The novel also deals with this problem of marriage, which is no longer defined as an institutional logic, an inescapable social obligation (as in the past), but rather as an emotional logic ("we love each other, we marry"). The traditional model, based on marriage, has been shattered.

This work deals with the representation of death in selected contemporary American novels: White Noise (1986) and Zero K (2016) by Don DeLillo, and Everyman (2003) and Nemesis (2010) by Philip Roth. Using the existential theories of Martin Heidegger, the psychoanalytical ideas of Sigmund Freud and the literary theory of dialogism by Mikhael Bakhtin, it looked into the cultural and private dynamics which altered the death epistemology in the selected novels. The existential, psychological and spiritual impacts of the dissimilar attitudes toward death range from denial to affirmation of its inevitability without admitting its existential/ ontological merit. Existential inauthenticity, meaninglessness, and loss of dwelling, in addition to psychological introversion and uncanniness, are consequences of the different representations of death. They articulate the postmodern estrangement from the naturalness and necessity of finitude. However, while DeLillo struggles against the postmodern cultural pathology of meaninglessness by advocating reconciliation with the inevitability of death, Roth struggles with the idea of mortality and offers a cynical image of death as humiliation.

The half-naked young woman was found by Mr. Eronnais, the cop from the nearby village. A report had to be made, as he had learned at the police academy. Finding a corpse on the beach is not like finding a hot dog. No, it was an unpleasant surprise for Mr. Eronnais, though a professional one; he put on gloves and examined the corpse carefully. No recourse to recognizable strength!

This book describes Alexander Feinberg's thoughts, parts of his life, and some of his work. Golden thoughts of Uzbek writers and Uzbeks about the Russian poet and his immortal works became the decoration of the book. Some examples from Feinberg's works are given, as well as their definition and purpose of writing. It tells the story of a Russian poet who was born and raised in Uzbekistan, worked shoulder-to-shoulder with the people of this country all his life, and made a great contribution to the country's development. Also, readers can learn about the author's scientific work on the talented and pure-hearted poet and the translation of his work.

"En agitators erindringer" er socialdemokraten og forfatteren A.C. Meyers selvbiografi i to bind. Andet bind begynder, hvor første bind slap omkring årene 1904-1905, og dækker de følgende 25 år, som var en tid præget af store politiske forandringer, verdenskrige, klassekamp og kvindebevægelse. Men først og fremmest er det en beretning om en personlig kamp for at forbedre vilkårene for arbejderklassen og i særdeleshed for de børn og unge, der voksede op under fattige kår som han selv og som de tusindvis af mennesker, han havde mødt på sine mange rejser rundt om i landet som journalist for Social-Demokraten. -
