Paperback. Condition: Good. Comment les soci t s humaines ont-elles fa onn et t fa onn es par les ph nom nes religieux? C'est cette question que s'attache r pondre Emile Durkheim dans son ouvrage De la d finition des ph nom nes religieux . Situ la crois e des XIXe et XXe si cles, une poque marqu e par des changements sociaux et intellectuels, ce texte s'inscrit dans le cadre de la sociologie naissante. Durkheim, figure embl matique de cette discipline, s'efforce de comprendre les m canismes par lesquels les croyances et les pratiques religieuses influencent les structures sociales. L'auteur explore les diff rentes formes que prennent les religions travers le monde, des cultes tot miques des soci t s aborig nes aux grandes religions monoth istes. Il s'int resse particuli rement la mani re dont ces syst mes de croyance contribuent la coh sion sociale, en fournissant des cadres moraux et des rituels qui renforcent les liens entre les individus. En analysant les fonctions sociales de la religion, Durkheim met en lumi re des concepts tels que le sacr et le profane, et leur r le dans la structuration des soci t s. Ce texte, la fois une tude sociologique et une r flexion philosophique, invite le lecteur reconsid rer la place de la religion dans le monde moderne. En d veloppant une m thode m thodique et rigoureuse, Durkheim nous apprend percevoir les ph nom nes religieux non pas comme de simples superstitions, mais comme des l ments cruciaux la compr hension des transformations sociales. Par cette analyse, nous percevons d sormais mieux les interactions complexes entre croyances, pratiques et structures sociales, et leur impact sur l' volution des soci t s humaines.…

Paperback. Condition: Fair. James's correspondents included presidents and prime ministers, painters and great ladies, actresses and bishops, and the writers Robert Louis Stevenson, H.G.

Together they constitute, in Philip Horne's own words, James' 'real and best biography'.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A strange and delightful memento of one of the most lasting literary voices of all time, The Daily Henry James is a little book from a great mind. First published with James's approval in 1911 as the ultimate token of fandom a limited edition quote-of-the-day collection titled The Henry James Year Book this new edition is a gift across time, arriving as we mark the centenary of his death. Drawing on the Master's novels, essays, reviews, plays, criticism, and travelogues, The Daily Henry James offers a series of impressions (for if not of impressions, of what was James fond?) to carry us through the year. From the deepest longings of Isabel Archer to James's insights in The Art of Fiction, longer seasonal quotes introduce each month, while concise bits of wisdom and whimsy mark each day. To take but one example: Isabel, in a quote from The Portrait of a Lady for September 30, muses, "She gave an envious thought to the happier lot of men, who are always free to plunge into the healing waters of action." Featuring a new foreword by James biographer Michael Gorra as well as the original introductions by James and his good friend William Dean Howells, this long-forgotten perennial calendar will be an essential bibelot for James's most ardent devotees and newest converts alike, a treasure to be cherished daily, across all seasons, for years, for ages to come.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Mrs Gereth is convinced that Fleda Vetch would make the perfect daughter-in-law. Only the dreamy, highly-strung young woman can genuinely appreciate, and perhaps eventually share, Mrs Gereth's passion for her 'things' - the antique treasures she has amassed at Poynton Park in the south of England. Owen Gereth, however, has inconveniently become engaged to the uncultured Mona Brigstock. As a dramatic family quarrel unfolds, the hesitating Fleda is drawn in, yet she remains reluctant to captivate Owen, who seems as attracted to her as she is to him. Is she motivated by scruple or fear? In The Spoils of Poynton (1897), Henry James created a work of exquisite ambiguity in his depiction of three women fighting for the allegiance of one weak-willed man.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Daisy Miller is a fascinating portrait of a young woman from Schenectady, New York, who, traveling in Europe, runs afoul of the socially pretentious American expatriate community in Rome. First published in 1878, the novella brought American novelist Henry James (1843-1916), then living in London, his first international success. Like many of James' early works, it portrays a venturesome American girl in the treacherous waters of European society -- a theme that would culminate in his 1881 masterpiece, The Portrait of a Lady. On the surface, Daisy Miller unfolds a simple story of a young American girl's willful yet innocent flirtation with a young Italian, and its unfortunate consequences. But throughout the narrative, James contrasts American customs and values with European manners and morals in a tale rich in psychological and social insight. A vivid portrayal of Americans abroad and a telling encounter between the values of the Old and New World, Daisy Miller is an ideal introduction to the work of one of America's greatest writers of fiction.…
