Montgomery Clift a été une star immense entre la fin des années quarante et le milieu des années soixante. Mais il ne fut pas une étoile comme une autre. Il a traversé le ciel hollywoodien telle une comète : un peu plus de 13 années passées sur les planches, 20 sur les plateaux de cinéma, soit 17 films et une mort prématurée à 45 ans. Comme James Dean, il a été victime d'un accident de voiture. À la différence du rebelle sans cause qui l'admirait, celui que tout le monde appelait Monty a survécu. Rebelle, il l'a été à sa manière. Moins tonitruante que celle de son cadet. Il a été le premier à imposer ses conditions aux tout-puissants studios, se payant le luxe de réécrire ses dialogues. L'Enfer du décor n'est donc pas une biographie, mais un travail de synthèse mêlant éléments biographiques et analyse filmique conférant à cet ouvrage un aspect analytique qu'on ne trouve, à ce jour, dans aucun autre ouvrage consacré au comédien. Mais il a une autre particularité, celle d'être le seul en France à octroyer à cet acteur fabuleux et méconnu la place qu'il mérite, celui d'un créateur sensible, érudit et marginal, qui inspira de nombreux autres et changea le statut de l'acteur en insufflant à la profession un supplément d'âme et de cœur, une authenticité.

Peter L. Montgomery has made significant contributions to computational number theory, introducing many basic tools such as Montgomery multiplication, Montgomery simultaneous inversion, Montgomery curves, and the Montgomery ladder. This book features state-of-the-art research in computational number theory related to Montgomery's work and its impact on computational efficiency and cryptography. Topics cover a wide range of topics such as Montgomery multiplication for both hardware and software implementations; Montgomery curves and twisted Edwards curves as proposed in the latest standards for elliptic curve cryptography; and cryptographic pairings. This book provides a comprehensive overview of integer factorization techniques, including dedicated chapters on polynomial selection, the block Lanczos method, and the FFT extension for algebraic-group factorization algorithms. Graduate students and researchers in applied number theory and cryptography will benefit from this survey of Montgomery's work.

The L.M. Montgomery Reader assembles significant rediscovered primary material on one of Canada's most enduringly popular authors throughout her high-profile career and after her death. Each of its three volumes gathers pieces published all over the world to set the stage for a much-needed reassessment of Montgomery's literary reputation. Much of the material is freshly unearthed from archives and digital collections and has never before been published in book form.The selections appearing in this first volume focus on Montgomery's role as a public celebrity and author of the resoundingly successful Anne of Green Gables (1908). They give a strong impression of her as a writer and cultural critic as she discusses a range of topics with wit, wisdom, and humour, including the natural landscape of Prince Edward Island, her wide readership, anxieties about modernity, and the continued relevance of "old ideals." These essays and interviews, joined by a number of additional pieces that discuss her work's literary and cultural value in relation to an emerging canon of Canadian literature, make up nearly one hundred selections in all.Each volume is accompanied by an extensive introduction and detailed commentary by leading Montgomery scholar Benjamin Lefebvre that trace the interplay between the author and the critic, as well as between the private and the public Montgomery. This volume - and the Reader as a whole - adds tremendously to our understanding and appreciation of Montgomery's legacy as a Canadian author and as a literary celebrity both during and beyond her lifetime.

"For more than 100 years, L.M. Montgomery's Anne Shirley, Emily Byrd Starr, Rilla Blythe, and a host of other fictional characters have captured generations of readers. The ways their fictional lives and cultures include or exclude the First World War provide insight into Canadian literary history and the Canadian historical experience of war, especially on the homefront. Born in 1874, Montgomery was forever marked by war: like millions of others of her generation world-wide, she would suffer suspense and grief, and like millions of others, she would work actively for the war's cause. Rilla of Ingleside, her war novel, both reflected and shaped Canada's cultural memories of the First World War, while her poetry and post-war works more subtly draw on the war's influences. The Blythes Are Quoted, her final work, savagely indicts war and its impact--or does it? This problematic text and others from the end of Montgomery's life are marked by the oncoming shadows of the Second World War. She died in 1942, before seeing an end to the global warfare of that terrible epoch. L.M. Montgomery and War re-assesses Montgomery's place in the war canon and the Canadian literary canon, drawing on new scholarship and perspectives from the still-burgeoning, interdisciplinary fields of war studies. From literary studies to historical studies, gender studies and visual art, this volume explores a multitude of perspectives and questions about Montgomery's writing and war."--

"Duck and Cover is a wry, laconic memoir penned by Kathie Farnell, based on her perspective as a smart-mouthed, unreasonably optimistic white girl growing up in Cloverdale, a genteel and neatly landscaped neighborhood of Montgomery, Alabama, in the late 1950s and early 1960s. During those decades Montgomery's social order was slowly--very slowly--changing. The bus boycott was over if not forgotten, Normandale Shopping Center had a display of the latest fallout shelters, and integration was on the horizon, though many still thought the water in the white and colored drinking fountains came from separate tanks."--Provided by publisher.
