L'Occident a longtemps vécu sur une image de la Grèce antique faussée par l'humanisme renaissant qui, projetant sur un passé lointain ses propres idéaux, en déformait le sens ou en limitait la portée. Depuis un siècle, archéologues, historiens et philosophes ont fait éclater cette notion d'une civilisation où tout aurait été régi par la perfection et le classicisme.Et, remontant aux sources crétoises, mycéniennes, doriennes, démontrer que sans elles le miracle grec n'aurait pas existé. Et donner à cette histoire une ampleur autres en la faisant courir du monde cycladique au monde hellénistique.Pour retrouver l'art grec dans toute sa plénitude, il aura fallu cesser de le voir à travers l'écran déformant des copies romaines, ce qui fut le cas jusqu'à la fin du XIXe siècle. Comme aura été nécessaire toute une série de découvertes retentissantes, des fouilles de Schliemann en 1870 aux récentes trouvailles de Riace ou Derveni, qui permirent de retrouver les oeuvres majeures sans lesquelles l'art grec demeure incompréhensible ou mutilé.Des idoles cycladiques à la Vénus de Milo, de l'art géométrique aux formes visant à l'universel par leur conformité à un idéal où "l'homme est la mesure de toutes choses", des dieux aux philosophes, de la politique à l'histoire, toute la grande aventure grecque revit dans cet ouvrage qui renouvelle l'approche et la vision de l'art grec.

TOP 5 ART OF WAR QUOTES 1. "Know your enemy and know yourself, win without danger." 2. "Knowing when to do battle and when not to do battle brings victory." 3. "Those skilled at making war subdue another's army without battle, overcome another's walled cities without attack, overthrow another's kingdom without delay." 4. "Those who forego contemplation, merely expecting an enemy to be easy, will be captured by him." 5. "When doing battle, prizing victories that take too long dulls weapons and grinds down spirits." From business to politics to sports, the Art of War is as timely for leaders today as it was for military strategists in ancient strategy, negotiation, management, analysis, psychology, logistics, risk, conflict -- everyone from Secretary of State Colin Powell to influential tech CEO Larry Ellison to NBA super-coach Phil Jackson has profited from the timeless wisdom of Sun Tzu's classic. This special pocket edition of Sun Tzu's Original Art of War uses the most recent archaeological and academic research to recover the original Chinese text and faithfully recreate it in English, avoiding the unnecessary wordiness and inaccurate abstractions of other English translations. "The Art of War is among the greatest classics of military literature ever written. Sun Tzu warfare is as applicable today as when the book was written some 2,500 years ago.... Pick up The Art of War and read it." ~ General A.M. Gray, Marine Corps Gazette "When the Japanese, especially those in business, want information on the subject, many turn to an ancient Chinese, not Japanese, military manual, The Art of War.... Shows managers how to be fearless in resolving conflicts." ~ Boardroom Reports "Unlike most of the more wordy and interpretive translations of the Sun Tzu, Andrew Zieger gives us a unique bare bones rendering of this canonical text-a series of word pictures-that, in applying his own image-to-image technique, captures the poetically laconic force of the original. In this rendering, the Sun Tzu has not needed to surrender the beauty of its language for the victorious expression of its meaning." ~ Roger T. Ames, Leading scholar in ancient Chinese literature and translator of "Sun The Art of Warfare" (1993) "A highly accessible rendering of the influential work of military theory. Successfully evokes the careful, meditative response Sun- Tzu recommends to would be war-makers. Of use to anyone engaged in competitive endeavors, be they on the battlefield or at the poker table." ~ Martin Harris, Poker journalist and author of the novel "Same Difference" (2010)

Illustrated with over 300 stills and drawings, including the complete screenplay, the only book on the making of the spectacular X-Men 2 and the X-Men film franchise. Outcasts from society, the X-Men are genetic mutants, born with superhuman powers, who harness their special abilities for the greater good. But the human race they fight to protect rejects and fears—even hates—them. Initially realized in the Marvel Comic Book adventures, the first X-Men major feature film was released by Fox in 2000, directed by Bryan Singer, who had previously directed Apt Pupil and The Usual Suspects . Its stunning success—theatrically grossing nearly $300 million worldwide, and becoming a video and DVD phenomenon—signaled the current wave of comics to film adaptations and guaranteed the sequel, which reunites the principal cast members and the original's key creative team, including director Bryan Singer, cinematographer Newton Thomas Sigel, and production designer Guy Dyas. The new X2 will feature several surprises, including favorite mutant characters from the vast X-Men comics universe, who are new to the film franchise. 300 color illustrations.

"I can say with absolute certainty that none of these -pictures are resident in the White House."—Sean Walsh, Official White House SpokespersonArtburn is a collection of the best pages from the last five years of Robbie Conal’s satirical monthly column in the LA Weekly , updated with background factoids and secret war stories about his subjects, including the likes (and dislikes) Dubya, Dick Cheney, John Ashcroft, Rush Limbaugh, Bill, Hillary and Monica, Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, even Bill Gates, among others. Artburn includes production shots of the original pages Robbie and his midnight deadline crew perpetrated at the very alternative LA Weekly, and a chapter of images and voices of the denizens themselves. We’ve even thrown in a dozen late-night remixes that were too hot for the Weekly to print.Robbie Conal grew up in New York City and became a stone-cold Hippie in San Francisco, landing in a storefront in the Haight Ashbury district in 1964. He did time in Connecticut—with time off for bad behavior in Soho—then moved to Los Angeles, where he now makes street posters and caricatures for the LA Weekly , satirizing politicians of both parties, televangelists, media pundits and global capitalists. Robbie has gained national prominence as the country’s premiere poster artist; his work has been featured on "CBS This Morning," "Charlie Rose," and in Time, Newsweek, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal and many other national publications. His first book, Art The Midnight Politics of a Guerilla Artist , was published by HarperPerennial in 1992.

In the third Artemis Fowl instalment the 13-year-old criminal mastermind takes on his most cunning adversary yet — American billionaire Jon Spiro, owner of the high-tech firm Fission Chips. While recuperating Artemis Fowl’s father, AF Senior, stuns all with his pronouncement that he wants the family to turn over a new leaf and stay on the right side of the law. Not surprisingly Artemis has other plans for one last heist, after which the Fowls will become a law abiding family. Anyway Artemis had been planning the job long before his father’s damascene conversion to all things legal. Anyway, what could go wrong? Everything, as it turns out. Artemis’s scheme to extract one metric ton of gold from Spiro, in exchange for keeping the C Cube, a mega computer (built from parts stolen from the fairies), off the market, implodes spectacularly. In order to save Butler, his bodyguard, and set things back to rights in the fairy world, Artemis joins forces with Butler’s sister Juliet and drafts the help of his nemesis Captain Holly Short, Foaly the computer nerd and the breezy, dwarf Mulch Diggums. The die is cast for all kinds of interwoven mayhem that culminates with the climactic break-in at Chicago’s Spiro Needle.Another Artemis exploit that matches the action and suspense of the first two Artemis Fowl books. Twists and turns get better as Artemis schemes his way into Spiro’s lair, and the novel slaps readers with a mind-spinning finale. Like a fine wine, Fowl’s brilliance gets better with age.It’s hard to imagine a summer reading book that’s more fun.
