Par Xavier Vezzoli. 2010
" La liaison de George Sand et Frédéric Chopin a souvent été source de controverses et de polémiques. Surtout en…
ce qui concerne leur rupture et les deux années qui suivirent. Durant cette période, la romancière se plaignit souvent que Chopin la dénigrait sous l'inspiration de sa fille Solange. A la lecture de certaines lettres du musicien, on constatera que cela n'était pas toujours faux. Après la disparition de Chopin, on écrivit au contraire que suite à leur rupture, il n'exprimait aucune récrimination envers George Sand et ne parlait jamais d'elle avec aigreur. On affirma même qu'il répétait souvent combien celle-ci lui manquait, et que son décès fut provoqué par le chagrin de cette rupture. Sa mort devint alors une version masculine de La Dame aux camélias. Cet essai a pour but de mieux comprendre les raisons de ces contradictions afin de se rapprocher au plus près de la vérité. Pour cela il aura été nécessaire de commencer par étudier les circonstances qui précédèrent la rupture, de continuer avec les polémiques qui suivirent celle-ci, pour conclure sur les premières biographies de Chopin et les souvenirs que les deux artistes conservèrent l'un de l'autre.

Par R. F Kuang. 2023
"Short stories have to accomplish a nearly impossible magic trick: to introduce a world often much stranger than our own…
and make you care about it in a matter of pages," writes R. F. Kuang in her introduction. "The most important part of this magic trick is just a willingness to get weird." The stories in The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2023 are brimming with bizarre and otherworldly premises. Women can't lie or fall in love. Fathers feed their children ghost preserves. Souls chase one another through animal incarnations. Yet these stories are grounded deeply in our reality. Out of these stories' weirdness emerges the cruelty of border enforcement, the horror of legislation restricting reproductive freedom, the frightening pace of AI. The result is a stunning, immersive, intensely felt experience, showing us less of what the world is, and more of what it could be.

with revelations” ( Booklist ) about the women who fought to become operatives, transformed spycraft, and tracked down Osama bin Laden. “This masterful book cements Liza Mundy as one of our foremost historians.”—Kate Moore, bestselling author of The Radium Girls One of Kirkus Reviews’ Most Anticipated Books of the Fall Created in the aftermath of World War II, the Central Intelligence Agency relied on women even as it attempted to channel their talents and keep them down. Women sent cables, made dead drops, and maintained the agency’s secrets. Despite discrimination—even because of it—women who started as clerks, secretaries, or unpaid spouses rose to become some of the CIA’s shrewdest operatives. They were unlikely spies—and that’s exactly what made them perfect for the role. Because women were seen as unimportant, pioneering female intelligence officers moved unnoticed around Bonn, Geneva, and Moscow, stealing secrets from under the noses of their KGB adversaries. Back at headquarters, women built the CIA’s critical archives—first by hand, then by computer. And they noticed things that the men at the top didn’t see. As the CIA faced an identity crisis after the Cold War, it was a close-knit network of female analysts who spotted the rising threat of al-Qaeda—though their warnings were repeatedly brushed aside. After the 9/11 attacks, more women joined the agency as a new job, targeter, came to prominence. They showed that data analysis would be crucial to the post-9/11 national security landscape—an effort that culminated spectacularly in the CIA’s successful effort to track down bin Laden in his Pakistani compound. Propelled by the same meticulous reporting and vivid storytelling that infused Code Girls , The Sisterhood offers a riveting new perspective on history, revealing how women at the CIA ushered in the modern intelligence age, and how their silencing made the world more dangerous
