Personnages is an intermediate French text that features a learner-centered, four-skills approach with a strong emphasis on oral communication. Students are exposed to the language and culture of the French-speaking world through features that present characters interacting in different Francophone settings. A revised full-color design makes the text organization easier to follow, enhances its visual appeal, and dramatizes its cultural material. The scope and sequence have been revised to make the amount of grammar presented in each chapter more manageable for students to learn. Culture is an integral part of what students learn and practice while using the text, which examines Francophone culture by highlighting 10 different French-speaking areas around the world.

The sumptuous palace and gardens of Versailles represented both Louis XIV’s celebration of himself and a perfectly balanced integration of art and nature. Millions of tourists have long admired the gardens for their inexhaustible source of new life and enduring mystery. The allées and parterres resonate with memories of pomps and promenades, feasts and follies. As a monument to the Sun King, the solar symbolism of Apollo reigns over both architecture and ornament at Versailles, yet French classicism dominates the gardens, imposing a strict geometrical order on the forest, shaping the flowerbeds and boxwood, and brightening the bosky depths with fountains and statuary. Photographer Jacques Dubois presents Versailles through the cycle of the seasons and the shifting intensities of their light. His evocative images show the great facades, the stone goddesses, the flowers and pools, the masks, columns, and towering trees transformed by the ever-shifting forces of nature. Brief essays provide historical perspective and insight into the development of this enduring landmark. This gorgeous book will be treasured by visitors to Versailles as well as any garden lover.

POINTS

"nouvelle présentationLe roman policier est à peu près le seul genre q u'ait inventé la littérature moderne. Mais il y a plus étonnant : ce m ême roman, réputé ludique, réputé trivial, est l'expression de la mode rnité même dont il accompagne la naissance et le développement. Elle f ait de lui, aujourd'hui, une forme universelle, transmédiatique, inter changeable.Le policier, comme grande forme moderne, est ici décrit et interrogé en référence à sa tradition française. Il l'est à travers un e histoire, c'est à dire le moment d'une émergence ; il est à travers des structures et des modes spécifiques de fonctionnement ; il est en trois expériences de création (Leroux, Simeon et Japrisot), qui voient  cette forme accéder à un sens politique. Curieusement, ce sens s'acco mpagne d'une figuration mythique où se reformule sans trêve l'expérien ce oedipienne. Bref, si, pour notre plaisir, le polar reste le polar, le lire distraitement n'est plus possible désormais.Jacques Dubois est  professeur à l'université de Liège en même temps que directeur de réd action du quotidien La Wallonie. Ses enseignements et ses travaux, qui  portent sur la littérature française moderne et en particulier sur le s formes paralittéraires, s'inspirent de la rhétorique ainsi que d'une  sociologie institutionnelleLivre I : unité d'une histoire.
