Much has been made of the image of writers in Paris-romanticized and idealized in fiction and on screen, these émigré artists in sidewalk cafés spark our imagination with unusual force. But rarely do the real-life figures speak to us directly to comment on their work, their lives, and their reasons for choosing to live and work in Paris.In these striking interviews, E. M. Cioran, Julio Cortázar, Brion Gysin, Eugène Ionesco, Carlos Fuentes, Jean-Claude Carrière, Milan Kundera, Nathalie Sarraute, and Edmund Jabès do just this as they speak out on the risks they've taken, on the

The world of the troubadours of medieval Provence-of Bertran de Born, Arnaut de Mareuil, and Peire Bremon lo Tort-always fascinated Ezra Pound and, as Stuart McDougal shows, provided both themes and techniques for his early poetry.Pound's first translations of Provençal poetry were a way of penetrating an alien sensibility and culture and making it his own; they were also important technical exercises. Confronted with the problem of finding a suitable form and language for the Provencal experience, he condensed, deleted, expanded-the results were highly original works.Among Pound's early experiments were the studies of individual Provencal poets, each representing one of the qualities of Provençal culture that attracted him-Bertran is the man of action and Vidal is an example of the close connection between man and the "vital universe."Implicit in Pound's treatment of the past is his belief in the contemporaneity of these medieval values. This belief remains constant in The Cantos, although as the work developed it became clear that no single cultural framework could encompass it. Nevertheless, the medieval world remained the cornerstone of Pound's paradise-a brilliantly unified, vibrant world against which he could contrast the chaos and sterility of contemporary civilization.Originally published in 1973.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Un jour de 43 avant J.-C., L. Munatius Plancus, ancien lieutenant de César mêlé aux intrigues des guerres civiles, vient avec ses vétérans fonder la colonie romaine de Lugdunum, sur une colline au-dessus du confluent de la Saône et du Rhône. Aux alentours de 460, les Burgondes chassent définitivement le pouvoir romain et font de Lugdunum une de leurs capitales. À plusieurs reprises au cours de ces cinq siècles, l’histoire de Lyon rencontre l’Histoire tout court, celle de l’Empire romain. Des empereurs naissent à Lyon ; un autre y aurait été proclamé ; plusieurs y meurent tragiquement. Une ville gauloise, romaine, orientale aussi, se bâtit, brûle, se défend, subit le pillage. Des populations venues du plus loin de l’Empire (soldats, fonctionnaires, commerçants, médecins, hommes libres, affranchis ou esclaves) y passent, s’y installent, se mêlent ou s’affrontent, avec leurs langues, leurs coutumes et leurs croyances. De ces événements souvent tragiques, parfois comiques, l’archéologie et l’épigraphie ont révélé de nombreux témoignages. Pour la plupart d’entre eux cependant, faute de traces exhumées du sol d’une ville qui occupe toujours le même emplacement, les descriptions et les récits des géographes, historiens, hagiographes, ou encore des poètes de l’Antiquité et des débuts du Moyen Âge, restent pour nous irremplaçables. Bon nombre de ces textes originaux sont proposés ici. Certains, célèbres, ne sont en réalité connus que par ouï-dire, par une tradition qui en a déformé la signification. D’autres dormaient dans des recueils accessibles aux seuls spécialistes – et ce ne sont pas les moins vivants ! Tous sont présentés, traduits et rapidement commentés. Ces vingt dernières années, les recherches archéologiques, épigraphiques et historiques ont profondément renouvelé ce que nous savons de Lyon dans l’Antiquité. Cette seconde édition, corrigée, augmentée de nombreux textes méconnus et illustrée, tient le plus grand compte des progrès accomplis
