"En 1755, Voltaire retiré « au pied des Alpes, et vis-à-vis des neiges éternelles », offrait à monseigneur le maréchal duc de Richelieu son nouvel ouvrage, l¿Orphelin de la Chine, et après les compliments d¿usage expliquait son dessein : « L¿idée de cette tragédie me vint, il y a quelque temps, à la lecture de l¿Orphelin de Tchao, tragédie chinoise, traduite par le P. Prémare, qüon trouve dans le recueil que le P. du Halde a donné au public ».Sans rechercher le patronage d¿un si grand seigneur, le livre qui paraît aujourd¿hui simplement se présente à qui garde encore en des temps si troublés le goût de la lecture, la force de penser ; le village du Jura qui abrite mes travaux ne contemple que de fort loin les neiges du Mont-Blanc, et je ne suis pas Voltaire, mais crois avoir autant que lui le droit de chercher mes héros hors de l¿antiquité classique ou de l¿Europe qui se dit chrétienne, et suivant son exemple de prendre avec les auteurs de la Chine ou de l¿Inde, dans la mesure de mes moyens, les libertés que s¿est permises Corneille à l¿égard de Guilhen de Castro, Racine avec Euripide et Sénèque, et Goethe aux dépens de Marlowe."

"Religion et psychologie individuelle comparée" est un ouvrage qui résulte de la collaboration entre Alfred Adler et Ernst Jahn. Les auteurs explorent la relation complexe entre la religion et la psychologie individuelle, offrant une perspective psychologique sur les expériences religieuses et les croyances.Alfred Adler, figure majeure de la psychologie individuelle, et Ernst Jahn examinent comment les convictions religieuses peuvent influencer le développement individuel, la personnalité et le bien-être mental. Ils se penchent sur la manière dont la religion peut fournir des mécanismes d'adaptation psychologique et influencer le sens de la vie et les valeurs personnelles.La traduction du Dr. H. Schaffer permet aux lecteurs francophones d'accéder à cette exploration approfondie des dynamiques psychologiques liées à la religion. L'ouvrage propose ainsi une réflexion nuancée sur la façon dont les aspects spirituels et psychologiques interagissent dans la vie des individus.

Kit Marlowe: playwright, poet, lover. In the plague-stricken streets of Elizabethan England, Kit flirts with danger, leaving a trail of enemies and old flames in his wake. His plays are a roaring success; he seems destined for greatness.But the queen's eyes are everywhere and the air is laced with paranoia. When Marlowe is arrested on charges of treason, heresy and sodomy - all of which are punishable by death - he is released on bail with the help of Thomas Walsingham, a man he presumes to be his friend, but who has in fact hired the infamous assassin Robin Poley to take care of Marlowe, fearing his own sins may come to light. Now, with the queen's spies, the vengeful Baines, and the double-crossing Poley closing in, Marlowe's last friend in the world is Ingram Frizer, a total stranger who is obsessed with his plays, and who will, within ten days' time, become first Marlowe's lover, and then his killer.Richly atmospheric, emotionally devastating and heartrendingly imagined, Lightborne is a tender, thrilling tale of one of our most famous playwrights, and a love that flourishes within the margins.
