Publié en 1875, ce recueil de Charles Monselet réunit des histoires d’amour et de galanterie où s’esquissent, en courts tableaux, les mœurs d’un temps révolu. D’une plume vive, tour à tour tendre et malicieusement ironique, l’auteur multiplie les variations sur le désir, la coquetterie, la fidélité et leurs illusions. Silhouettes élégantes, scènes fines et traits d’esprit composent une galerie raffinée, parfois piquante, jamais cruelle. Un voyage dans l’esprit d’hier, pour goûter la grâce légère et l’acuité d’un observateur complice.

Home Movies is an essay about the day-to-day realities and unrealities of its author’s hypermediated consumer life as a teacher and parent in Orlando, Florida. In each of the essay’s seven sections, Wheaton explores his relationships to new media and old tech, and the people around him, with thoughtful ambivalence and humor. Altogether, the various threads of Home Movies—image, tangibility, fame, nostalgia, simulation, marijuana, and cinema history—pull together into a moving attempt to accept the tensions between watching/being watched and life/art.

Every poem in this collection hums with an underlying anxiety caused by living in these fraught and sometimes dismaying times, but Terry never fails to paint a rhythmically sound image.

Lovers of cats and poetry, prepare to be amazed and entertained! A Carnival of Cats features sixty-three poems and twelve watercolor paintings that explore the author’s love for and admiration of cats—their beauty, grace, and inscrutable character—and his bemused surmises as to what motivates their puzzling, distinctive, often delightful behaviors.
